Yuval Noah Harari on GOP losses, conspiracies, AI, religion & history: Melber 'Summit Series'
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ย. 2023
- Why is the 'New Right' turning on conservative traditions? Why are conspiracy theories so potent? Why don't humans use wealth and technology in ways that benefit humanity? Renowned historian and 'Sapiens' author Yuval Noah Harari tackles those questions in an extended discussion with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, who asks Harari about his scholarship, its applications, recent AI developments and criticism of Harari's writing. The discussion also covers how history is written and interpreted, storytelling and 'fictions' as a force in society, including 'money' as a fiction; the implications of evolution and Neanderthal DNA; the existence and meaning of God; the enduring impact of America's 'founding fathers'; and Harari's views of his own intellectual reach, success and its perils.

Glad to see a 'mainstream media' outlet finally embracing the long form, unedited interview with an intelligent, interesting person, talking about their ideas, knowledge, research, etc.
No matter which political bias the news network has, the more they engage with this format, the more honest they'll be in their bias
Intelligent is an overstatement
Do you mean understatement??
@@prsimoibn2710 If that's what you believe, then, you should know that it's not the interviewee who is the one that lacks intelligence.
@@B_Bodziak believe is an understatement
THIS is how it SHOULD be...2 people exchanging ideas, concepts, and opinions, listening to each other, and respecting each other. SO nice to see this interview. I have read Sapiens many times because it is a VERY important book. Thanks, Ari and Yuval...this is AWESOME!
Gonna ask for it for Christmas 🎅
Its hilarious seein a clueless boomer discover long form interviews for the first time in december 2023 and from a pretty mediocre interview in MSNBC of all places. There are thousands better discussions than this one, even with Yuval himself. The interviewer here made some really predicatable and shallow questions... Seriously, you gotta get better informed.
@@buzinaocara for the first time? I find it hilarious that someone from any generation would insult a stranger for complimenting a news network for using a long form interview format. Especially when so much “news” lately relies on shock value. Personally I’ve read this book before but don’t own it and would like to. This interview reminded me and I appreciate that. I see you’ve got some growing up to do. I’ll let you get started.
@@buzinaocaraalright, enlighten us then. Where should we go for real news?
@@mytruecrimelibraryI personally watch Fox News first then CNN and do my best to find the truth in my own mind. Usually it’s somewhere in the middle. If I want to know what the institutionaliz Democratic Party wants me to believe I watch MSNBC. This interview is about as good as their programming gets. But you notice they still push back on his global agenda ideas because he isn’t an institutionalist, at least not one that is led by the Clintons:)
We need to get these two into a classroom. Listening to Others 101, Thinking Clearly 101, Responsible Journalism 101.
LOL! ****Responsible Journalism 101.**** :-)
... and this is published on MSNBC ( the most propagandized' Pinko-Commie Media network ... ?🙂)
I want to live in a world where Ari is an "average" interviewer. Thanks for doing what you do so well. ET
so you mean a world of idiots and low IQ types.
Leave it alone GM. Enjoy dat new gal. Always have attempted to throw me under the bus. Give it up, and much karmic luck.😘💜❤ Wavebye.
This lucid and intelligent discussion is in stark contrast to the madness that we see fulminating from the MAGA movement.
Your funny total trill bot 17 comments in 12yrs on this bot one of your many im sure
deep thoughts from a genocidal maniac
Well said. Glad I’m not alone with that thought.
@@Gee-xb7rtWould you care to elucidate?
Why?
Yuval Noah Harari spreads wisdom wherever he goes. His books are essential reading.
HIs approach is very Talmudic. ROFL
Now watch for the book banners who will try to attack them.
@@cimabuehw Yeah, Yuval wants to "hack" other humans. I say no to WEF globalists.
This is astonishing - such a lengthy and detailed discussion publicly aired should become much more common. Well done Ari!
Great job Ari on your broadcast and your knowledge of the law. You break down some complex issues very well for those of us who are not in your profession. Keep up your great work.
Omg! This guy is a transhumanist working for the world economic forum whose sole goal is communism!
Beautiful conversation between two highly intelligent aware caring open minded people.
What an important, (and a never more necessary,) conversation.
Maybe my audio crapped out. Where was the other party able to speak freely?
Well said.
What, where?
@@christopherjavens3438 Are you going to initiate a reintroduction of the Abbott and Costello "Hu's on first" routine?
Absolutely brilliant! Great programming in a time when substance in media lacks.
Yeh, that’s why social science is worth borrowing money and should be hired over other degrees 😂😂😂😂😂
@@redzzonJust go crawl back in your cave and do the important things you are neglecting.
Haha!
YESSSSS! So grateful for the longer content MSNBC is releasing on TH-cam. I'm SO grateful for the Obama speech and this interview is incredible.
@@redzzon Perhaps, that's because the alternative is being willfully ignorant. I encourage you to seek out a mirror and reread my comment.
This is the best interview that Ari has ever done!
One of the Best, this man is incredible, though Ari usually hits them right out of the park, I rather favor the interview he did with that vulgar, seditionist Navarro!
I agree. So much to ponder. I’m glad this showed up on my TH-cam feed.
I so agree with you!👍
Ari I love you for using your platform to have these conversations. This is how to save the world. I hope we can.
Sapiens was terrific, it was my vacation read two summers ago. This guy is brilliant.
I'm going to get this book. The interview was amazing.
I have to read this book. 2 years? May find it used.
"it was my vacation read two summers ago"
And you still don't know how to construct a sentence.
@@user-oc1qo5dk4b "read" in this context is a noun, "vacation read" is the colloquial usage of a book you read at the beach, otherwise known as a "beach read" (long e)
You'll NEVER see a conversation like this on Fox.
Fox is not fake news, you are right
@@christopherjavens3438just go away.
😅
@@christopherjavens3438how is this interview fake news?Your support of FOX makes it clear they have made you biased towards anything that is not from FOX.
@@christopherjavens3438😂😂😂😂
One of the best interviews I have seen allowing for open questions and answers. An instructive interview with no acrimony.
The intense irony of Harrari, like Goldhagen ("Hitler's Willing Executioners") before him is that both authors correctly identified the building blocks of fascism and genocide, but they could never bring themselves to apply those lessons to the actions of Israel. In the end, they are wonderful humanists - humanly flawed with a blindspot.

Probably the most truthful and intellectual interview I have seen in a long while.
Interviews like this are the BEST of TH-cam

J.Peterson is brilliant, but I can only take him in small doses, as he can be 'off-putting"... It reminds me of Star Trek (Space Seed), that man has advanced technology, but hasn't improved "himself" one bit....
Ari Melber is televised journalism at its best. He is balanced, even-tempered and straightforward. So appreciated.
Poor Ari, trying to make a joke about the D.H. in baseball, and it didn't work at all. I feel you Ari, the pitcher should grab a bat like everyone else. 🗽⚾🗽
This is one of the best interviews ever with YNH. Well done and thank you, Ari. We need more like both of you.
Here here!
He's a FOOL
@@kingskid2036 In what way?
But Nathan J Robinson at Current Affairs is a sophist pretending to be a philosopher!
YNH is the Michio Kaku of historians. Everyone believes he is this genius while all he did was make a few academic concepts available to the large public.
This is a wonderful discussion of the social realities around the world. I will read the book being discussed soon but I am already comforted by Mr. Harari’s take on the danger of conservative concepts. Wow! Also, Ari Melber is the single best host in media today! Fairness, honesty, no-spin style. Thank you!
I don't believe he had an opinion on conservative ideologies. Many opinions, but not discussed
That he is. Ari is amazing.👍
His book was mind blowing and very eye opening.
How can he see so clearly the danger of conservative concepts and watch what his nation does on a daily basis?
Agree. YNH implicitly supports the genocidal policies of Israel. He is a second rate intellectual but the vastly ignorant and easily led masses believe him to be this towering genius. Ridiculous.
Fantastic guest. More of these, more philosophers and humanists visionaries, more thinkers. Thanks.
This guest is new to me, and I ordered his book, "Sapiens", before I even finished watching the interview! I hope Ari has him on again soon.
You should watch Jordan Peterson
@@ryanhoffman5477 ...who isn't a philosopher, humanist visionary or thinker? Ok, you should watch Family Guy.
It's crazy how conservatives will constantly lose and instead of rethinking their positions double down every single time.
Typical of Cultstians they can never admit when they're wrong. Their critical thinking skills were replaced by defiance and paranoia of questioning anything
Please explain.. seems you heard this sentence and you’re repeating it.. so! What specifically are you talking about.. 🤣 I’m laughing too because you have nothing🤣 least nothing that stands out amongst both parties 🤣

What a brilliant interview Ari❣️

Cool.
Have read his books numerous times, but wouldn't have guessed that live he elevates his game through such playfulness, wisdom and humility. Great interview.
I agree completely. What clarity is his expression of understanding!
Everyone in the country... nay, the world... should listen to this video!!!🙏
Excellent show gentlemen, absolutely excellent!!! 😊❤
True, especially brainwashed MAGA cult members!
Wow! As it pertains to this conversation, I have three words: BRILLIANCE BEYOND BELIEF! I saw Yuval Noah Harari's interview by Ari Melber on MSNBC. I am so glad that I took the time to watch this video and will absolutely watch it again. ❤
As much as I loved this conversation (and I really did), I hate the clickbait title MSNBC has chosen to use for this video. Please revise the title of this video to more accurately reflect the wide range of topics covered
Spot on.
Mr. Harari is a human treasure. His research and knowledge are only a small part of his importance to humanity. No hyperbole, his input is crucial for our species.
i disagree with his arguments about the human soul and i am probably less religious.
@@ginxxxxx You believe there's an afterlife but you are "not religious"? Does that mean you are an atheist or do you actually believe in a particular religion and its god but you don't attend church/mass, mosque, temple, etc? If the latter, do you think you would disagree with him if you had never heard the word "soul" and had never heard anything about any religion at any time in your life? I'm just curious.

Brilliant interview/conversation. Very grateful for the opportunity to witness this event. Hopefully more in the future?
This guy is all over the map. There is nothing in the 10th commandment about slaves
@@misspurr2573 There has been much discussion and debate on this issue, apropos not just the tenth but also the seventh. One interesting overview re 7 is in Wiki under "Catholic Church and slavery". Brill has an intellectual expansion re the 10, but there are other sources along the same lines. Bottom line, though, is I am neither religious, nor a scholar in history or philosophy (which I've always found a meandering thought process). But I AM endlessly curious, so found the discussion between Ari and Yuval fascinating.
@@patriciametzler5989 my issue is, he doesn't really have a single clearly understood belief. Pick one!
@@misspurr2573 you missed the point by a mile.
@@misspurr2573 I believe the comment was about 'coveting another person's slave'.

Sounds like AI wants us all dead or atleast subservient. Pretty fkn terrifying
I would like to invite this man to dinner he is the first person in a long time that talks actual sense and understands it fully!
What's for dinner?
Jordan Peterson
@ryanhoffman Right, an ultra-narcissistic dunner-kruger cursed grifter is on the menue. Many would eat him for dinner.
@@ryanhoffman5477 bljak.
I’ve long said money, religion, politics are imaginary and we should respect the tradition but not be intimidated by it. All these constructs are fluid and we can improve those narratives no longer benefiting society
I LOVE that Yuval is a fan of Frans de Waal! I am too. And what a lovely man Yuval is. Even tempered and logical but also kind. The warning about AI is chilling and I hope that world leaders take appropriate actions to prevent a dystopian future where humans are subjected to AI domination.

TOO much for we, the remaining Baby Boomers ?
As an anthropologist and a historian I see so much of these two disciplines in Harari's work. Love Sapiens and how it draws parallels to oral traditions (stories) within our societies. Thanks, Ari. Always such a great amount of information.
Noah is Satans boy.
This just proves my point of their agenda.
Great interview Ari. Your guest is knowledgeable on his subject, does not mock anyone who does not agree with his theories but encourages critical thinking. I wish I could spend an hour or so conversing with him!

Kudos to the interviewer, clearly read up on the issues, and was bang on with his questions and observations. Ari always good.

Demand credible evidence before you accept something as believable. No religion has such credible evidence to offer. Never has, never will. Science disciplines have credible evidence and are worthy of belief. Science corrects itself too with more science.

Finally!
A needed conversation that most, if not all, humans are morally and ethically afraid of because it requires change.
Deep personal change.
With acceptance of an ‘others’ universal place beside each and every one of us.

As Sartre said, “We have everything figured out, except how to live.”

We know how to live. We just have people using the dollar (power) sign to tell us how we should live. George Orwell [ Eric Arthur Blair ] understood this far better than when Satre said that.
@@bluegold21 The Shoshone people of North America said that the white man had enough of everything necessary for all people to live well. They just don’t know how to share.
Ari- I have had great respect for you and your shows on MSNBC. I watch you frequently and admire how to try and explore deeper into issues. And make the effort to explain , in lay terms, for the rest of us less familiar with a topic.
This interview with Mr. Harare, to date, is your crowning effort. I have recently become aware of him and he is on my book buying list.
I am impressed at your breathe of questioning and your acumen to get him to speak so eloquently and clearly.

Ari, this guy is amazing! I love how your questions give me pause and make me think. Great interview!
Not thinking enough if you are listening to him
Thinking about what? Thoughts?
He's viewing history through a post-modernist perspective, and initially he was fellating himself, lol.
Most of this has been discussed in the 1960's. "Fictions" are just descriptions of "grand narratives" and his examples of "competing truths" is well integrated into modern academia. His analysis seems to originate from Foucault. He has the bald head and glasses, too, lol.
Even Ari has to call social structures what they are "social constructs".
This isn't to crap on post-modernism, it definitely has a place for analysis, however I don't like the idea that it's an original thought and would prefer he use the proper context and vocabulary while discussing the subject.
It makes it come off as disingenuous and plagiarized.
At halfway, and he's describing "Post-Modern dialectics" which was borrowed from Marx's "dialectic and historical materialism" by Foucault.
The only real value from the interview, which lasted less than a few seconds, came from a description of progress as defined by the French Revolution. Particularly around the idea of "liberals" vs "conservatives", where liberals BECOME conservatives as society advances on social issues and the previous conservatives become reactionaries and try to radically change society back to a previous period and culminates into conspiracy theories and capitalization on culturally engrained narratives. It's a major element of fascism.
Likewise, the inability for liberals, now conservatives, are unable to protect the new conservatism because they don't want change, they want to conserve. So, a new left forms calling for change, so the center can't hold without massive reforms.
The best part of the interview wasn't even engaged in.
@@andrewgreen5574 If he used their vocabulary he'd confuse the average viewer, and they'd tune out.
@@peterbills4129 pretty sure the terms "grand narratives", "competing truths", and "social constructs" are easy enough to understand. Over the past 8 years, "narrative" is pretty well established in American political discourse.
Dialectics can be explained easily enough, he did it in the interview, they just didn't extrapolate more or what it means for the Democrats and Republicans. Misleading title of the video, lol.
Just remember, voting is like driving... "D" to go forward, "R" to go backward.
Homeland security released the number for housing and food for illegals coming across
the southern border...452 Billion Dollars a year.
That is 452 Thousand Million Dollars paid for by Private Property (the working stiff).
@@u2mister17if rich people and companies paid the same percentage of taxes as poor people, we would have more than enough. Doesn’t that sound fair?
That's True. It reminds me of a quote given by FDR: "A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Yeah don't vote for the best candidate or the one that will do the best for the most people just vote for a letter makes a lot of sense to me..
Not!
Yeah I get it everybody's polarized these days but therein lies a problem. One not solved by ridiculous statements like that.

Two sides secretly holding hands while the appearance of drastic disagreement punishes you for trying to bring in a third party, holding R&D's responsible for their failures
What a great conversation. A breath of fresh air.
Fascinating interview. Thank you both.
Thank you, Ari and Yuval Noah Harari.
Harari may claim we are no happier than that of the stone age but one thing is for sure our level of comfort has improved greatly. Imagine the times with no anesthetic for dentistry and amputations, no indoor plumbing, lack of medicines etc. We are not built for happiness we are built for survival.
I believe that we succeeded in survival and need to focus on establishing a harmonious and satisfying experience to achieve a lifetime that we are proud of.
The happiness he's speaking of isn't so much physical as it is spiritual, a moral consciousness
What if survival is thriving happiness?
@@ardentynekent2099 Honestly, what does Harari know about happiness in stone age people, who died toothless and wasted at 29?

It takes a skilled interviewer like Ari to conduct a thoughtful discussion with a profound thinker like Yuval Harari.
I do love hearing Yuval's point of view as well as his humor. I used to go sit in Anthropology lectures at Sussex University between my own classes in American history and literature. Always a fascinating area of inquiry.
Good for you
Hold on. Anthropology? The study of human cultures? I associate the word with Empire. The King (Charles III) studied Anthropology (at Edinburgh?). My grandfather used "popular anthropology" encyclopedia of humanity to attempt to recruit me as as a servant of Empire, protector of the peace and of all of these "funny little people." He himself being every inch the virtuous Christian Imperialist despite being a Trade Union shop Steward and Labour :Party Convenor.
He was of the WW1 generation but got a desk job in Paris, Royal Navy. Lucky *******..
So who changed the rules? How come Anthropology is being studied at Sussex (liberal institution to end them all permanently critical,. anti-establishment)

Thank you for the grown up exchange. Insightful. evocative, rational, and provided for a steady blood pressure throughout, very much appreciated.
Grown up? He can't make up his mind what he believes. Make a decision, then we can talk. Besides he is saying that priests believe their lies. Even if they do. It's still a lie and the people who believe lies as truth should never be taken seriously . What matters is facts. The truth is made of facts. Lies have alternative facts.
Glad to see Enlightenment morality returning
Ari, you knocked this one out of the park! Never dull, always thought provoking.
Some of the very best!
Thanks
The most invaluable insight that I gained by reading Sapiens is that our species not only survived but thrived as a result of our ability to conceptualize, to make abstract concepts snd values real. We actually need and create mythology for our identity. Humans are meaning-making beings. We have a psychological need for a sense of purpose. We give everything all the meaning it has to us. Which means that reality is essentially malleable and based on psychic projection. With such great intelligence , the human being is the greatest of creatures, because our capacity for consciousness. We are also the grossest of animals because of our capacity for consciousness.
A true genius and a very good person. Outstanding interview / conversation
