Why humans run the world | Yuval Noah Harari | TED

  • Seventy thousand years ago, our human ancestors were insignificant animals, just minding their own business in a corner of Africa with all the other animals. But now, few would disagree that humans dominate planet Earth; we've spread to every continent, and our actions determine the fate of other animals (and possibly Earth itself). How did we get from there to here? Historian Yuval Noah Harari suggests a surprising reason for the rise of humanity.

Open a brain and one sees “meat”, just as we open a hard drive and see” stuff”. what he says is tautology.

      No, his book is nothing but nihilistic nonsense. His book ignores and downplays the very principles of what makes humanity so dominant. While I agree with him on the fiction of religious scripture, I do not agree with him that there is no higher purpose or that objective reality cannot be shaped by our own ideas.
      I think there are plenty of great non-religious books out there we can teach to students that do not have this same type of toxic nihilism that so many post-modernists spew today.

      So it's basically a mix of both:
      Shim-pan-zee
      with a bit of a duplication of the zed at the end for the plural sense (in contrast with a regular s used in English).

      @Adi yo, he ment there is objectivity in animals to pursue living. If you both get left in an island, chimpaze will not try to leave the island, or he doesnot think about home, he is placed to this moment at the time he reaches to the island. And he will continue to live there. But if you are a human you think of your marriage and you wana go back, you will think of your job, you want live in the reality you created, thats what people do. If you are lucky you may find some woman and live there to procreate and live but still you will go on creating systems that are fictions. Thats what makes us human. If you live in the moment everything stops. It takes a huge thought to reach this, its called meditation.
      Thats why governments tend to fail. The lesser there is a fiction created among its people the more likely it will fail, this fiction is politics. Its not a relity if you think about it. Its there to polarize people. You will find many many more.

      "The Devil has little trouble with those who do not believe in him they are already on him side"
      Gates Whiteley quoted -
      "Any reader of the OT will find that God did intervene often in the affairs of mankind. He rescued his people - The Jews - only to have them turn their backs on him at the earliest sign of trouble. Impatient, they could not even wait for Moses to come off the mountain.
      Any reader of the NT will find that God intervened in the most effective, dramatic and visible way by sending Jesus to earth. God became man and lived with him. The world has never been the same.
      God has proven again and again that he is patient, long suffering and desirous of man’s turning to him. He has shown how this turning can be done. Ask any Christian if you don’t know how to turn away from the evil God abhors.
      Why evil? A clue is given above by the commentator who pointed out God is not a baby sitter nor is he Santa Claus, for that matter. Evil exists to show the delight God and his created man may find in the alternatives to evil. It would be impossible to love what is good unless one knew the difference between good and evil. It would be impossible to love evil unless one knew the difference between evil and good.
      And it often comes down to choices made by man. It is never God’s will that man do evil. But he has given man the will to choose. Choices have consequences, as most of us know from life experiences.
      Evil is a necessary tool. It can be used or rejected by man.
      Evil is almost like a parasite, requiring good to feed upon. In this analogy, it may be said that evil could not exist without good. And therefore exists because of the good.
      Finally, over millennia, it is possible to note that good has triumphed. Nothing lasts forever. Evil is eventually defeated, everywhere."

  • @0fof0fo
    @0fof0fo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Interesting thesis, well argued, but also highly contestable! His view can be pushed back against on multiple fronts. Three that jump to my mind:
    1. Why is it *one thing*- creativity- that makes humans distinct, rather than a family of things? What exactly is this “creativity” trait that he speaks of?
    2. If creativity is just defined as believing fictions, then naturally the next question is how do you define a fiction? A stoplight doesn’t exist in “nature”, yet in human society it seems to be *true* that a red light means stop. It would be strange to call that a “fiction”, at least in ordinary language. One could deny, therefore that social constructs- like money, countries, and stoplights- therefore are “fictional” in the most useful sense.
    3. To what degree do humans really “run the world”? Even if it’s true that humans in the past were able to cooperate at relatively large scales without chaos (which I’m not sure is really fair to say), it seems highly doubtful this applies at the global level. Human systems and societies at that scale seem to be hardly less chaotic (think wars, climate change, environmental destruction, mass starvation, etc), and certainly more harmful, than a Wembley Stadium full of gorillas. While this isn’t evidence that humans can’t cooperate flexibly in *greater* numbers than other animals, it also suggests there may be a limit to our ability to do so. This should check the hubris his thesis otherwise might invite.

Another good book, which addresses much of your point 2 is Ian McGilchrest's "The Master and his emissary", which is ostensibly about the human brain, but synthesizes a lot of information from neuro-science and psychology, as well as anthropology, linguistics, evolutionary biology, and sociology/cultural evolution.

    Talks like this is why I subscribed to Ted. I have been wondering about his last point for a while now. As automation and computers replace lower skilled work, the supply of "low skilled" workers will become proportionally greater and greater as demand for basic human skills dwindles. This means lower and lower pay for more and more people who by no fault of their own are not born with a high IQ. As automation and computers get smarter and smarter, humans by comparison get dumber and dumber. It's already happening now and I'm not sure how society is going to deal with it.

      theslimeylimey I think less intelligent people should be employed by the government to do landscaping and façade detailing. Our cities have gotten a lot uglier since WW2 and we should reverse that trend. Politicians who pretend that they can save jobs (aka dying industries) are liars that do more harm than good.

      theslimeylimey I suggest state-sponsored genetic modification of human reproductive cells that carry the DNA for potential bottom-25% IQ.ratings. This is a process that raises its own bar and therefore results in a continuous rise in average human intelligence. This, of course, replaces existing wellfare programs. We're almost there, scientifically.

      Hatchepsut Because the highly educated are not going out in 110 degree heat to pick produce or work in factories looking at the same item for 8 hours a day. Robots? Where are the people you're putting out of work to get an income. It needs to be worked out a whole lot more.

The last chapter also gives insight to the present situation and what may happen in the future.
