  • How do we make sense of today's political divisions? In a wide-ranging conversation full of insight, historian Yuval Harari places our current turmoil in a broader context, against the ongoing disruption of our technology, climate, media -- even our notion of what humanity is for. This is the first of a series of TED Dialogues, seeking a thoughtful response to escalating political divisiveness. Make time (just over an hour) for this fascinating discussion between Harari and TED curator Chris Anderson.

      You cannot either globalize everything nor nationalize everything. It seems very right to have globalized ecology and globalized economy but you can't have a globalized political system due to the fact that you have many countries with many different people. You cannot rule the world like a huge company and format everyone. In so doing you will kill differences, creativity, art, lifestyle etc. Weare not robots!

      Climate change is a huge hoax and your ignorance about the facts is dangerous. China is working hard on fixing its environment and the problems of foreign companies consciously polluting their conutry.
      Job loss is a big issue. The Wall on the US southern border is a must in the face of huge exoduses which means that South America is completely unable to manage its own citizens. What do you think if China were to do the same and send thousands of Chinese to the US without restrain... Wouldn't this be crazy??

      Reminded of Michael Parenti, an excerpt from his piece Mystery: How Wealth Creates Poverty, which highlights this very same dynamic under the auspices of global US empire and its continued "full spectrum domination" via currency hegemony and implicit omnipresent military threat:
      _"In their perpetual confusion, some liberal critics conclude that foreign aid and IMF and World Bank structural adjustments “do not work”; the end result is less self-sufficiency and more poverty for the recipient nations, they point out. Why then do the rich member states continue to fund the IMF and World Bank? Are their leaders just less intelligent than the critics who keep pointing out to them that their policies are having the opposite effect?_
      _No, it is the critics who are stupid not the western leaders and investors who own so much of the world and enjoy such immense wealth and success. They pursue their aid and foreign loan programs because such programs do work. The question is, work for whom? Cui bono?_
      _The purpose behind their investments, loans, and aid programs is not to uplift the masses in other countries. That is certainly not the business they are in. The purpose is to serve the interests of global capital accumulation, to take over the lands and local economies of Third World peoples, monopolize their markets, depress their wages, indenture their labor with enormous debts, privatize their public service sector, and prevent these nations from emerging as trade competitors by not allowing them a normal development._
      _In these respects, investments, foreign loans, and structural adjustments work very well indeed._
      _The real mystery is: why do some people find such an analysis to be so improbable, a “conspiratorial” imagining? Why are they skeptical that U.S. rulers knowingly and deliberately pursue such ruthless policies (suppress wages, rollback environmental protections, eliminate the public sector, cut human services) in the Third World? These rulers are pursuing much the same policies right here in our own country!_
      _Isn’t it time that liberal critics stop thinking that the people who own so much of the world---and want to own it all---are “incompetent” or “misguided” or “failing to see the unintended consequences of their policies”? You are not being very smart when you think your enemies are not as smart as you. They know where their interests lie, and so should we."_

      @@debclarke1746 _"The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind."_ - some guy (Marx to not be pointlessly facetious), a bit optimistic at the end we wouldn't just choose individual delusion while the planet literally burns around us...
      And on that point, some Nietzsche to offer an explanation of how resentment both creates new moral systems of value but insulates these values subjectively as a passive coping mechanism for class domination,
      _"The slave revolt in morality begins when 'ressentiment' itself becomes creative and gives birth to values: the ressentiment of natures that are denied the true reaction, that of deeds, and compensate themselves with an imaginary revenge."_
      Which is all to say, as that first guy once put it,

    Having said this, I remember Harrari's TED talk where he said that human beings' extraordinary achievement is always achieved collectively not individually. That is the point!!! We, as Afghans, have never been a united nation/collection. That is why in the best era of the history of mankind, we are still a bunch of desperate people!!!

    2) The human condition is flawed because of generational trauma. Until there is a transformation in how we approach and recondition trauma (Ex. Overcome greed, learn how to manage fear etc - which will never be perfect but we need to see massive change) then a human’s personal condition who is in charge will continue to infiltrate and influence public policy.

    The most clever question was raised by the woman from Ghana; "Isn't this just another justification for western nations to rule the world?". I have read Sapiens and think Harari is simplifying in order to create a sympathetic message. That nations just are imaginations, not reality are simply not true. Nations have built up institutions that ensures the welfare of its people. Most nations have some sort of social contracts which means that you contribute with tax and get something back. The more transparant and efficient these institutions are, the more sucsessfull will a nation be. This is not imaginations, it is reality! We need global regulations - I agree on that. But a global government will probably be an authoritarian government that either will develop to a dictatorship governed by multinational cooperations in constant wars with regional upraisings. Harari is a prophet, because he only use the sciense that is useful for him. He use very little social and political sciense and the vast amount of socialanthropological knowledge that is available to explain human social behaviour and draw conlusions for what is possible from this knowledge.

Not just money and things, but time, influence, enjoyable experiences.... Atomization and alienation are not self hypnotising states ! They come out of historical , economic ,realities - given places and times .... Harare is clearly a deep thinking and humane person and it is worth reading him. But the changes he advocates need conscious determination and cooperation to realize, as well as good will, attention to feelings states and a great deal of knowledge and awareness. Inspiration AND determination. I wish the internet were abuzz with inspiration to ‘make it happen’ but I suspect that existential crisis may need to get ratcheted up quite a bit before ‘the big boys let go of their expensive and dangerous ‘toys’ and let cooperation and common welfare decide our future.

    Great talk. Appreciate TED trying this approach. Most of what Mr Harari spoke about I agree with. I would like to suggest that Mr Harari investigate the "Cosmic Drama" that is affecting every soul on earth. This battle between good and evil is our reality, it must be won within each individual person. Then as we individual humans gain understanding and control over ourselves, we can become able to love others from any nation and work together to solve problems that are too great for individuals or nations to tackle alone. This spiritual battle is described best through the teaching known as the Divine Principle revealed by Rev. Dr Sun Myung Moon. Also, Mr. Harari's comment that humans have no useful purpose exposes a huge missing piece of the puzzle of his life. Again, the purpose of life is answered clearly in the Divine Principle. Thank you.

      Liberation from suffering is a futile and dangerous idea. An eternal solution cannot be to perpetually and selflessly sedate everyone's need to avoid suffering without any responsibility. Suffering is part and parcel of existing in a limited world. Limitations will not disappear with a globalist religion that want's to believe world can be run by solving things in global social structures. When supply runs low supply needs to be regulated and a global "no-borders" world is unable to do it efficiently. Without borders world will implode with global irresponsibility. Only borders can limit resources efficiently enough so that the most responsible will have most resources. If we let people who just breed most, have more resources, there will be no way of stopping irresponsible rise in global population. Borders should be shut completely, those who breed should be responsible for the land they breed upon.

      This isn't true. Most politicians are only worried about themselves, their term, their agendas. They don't serve their population, they serve themselves and their minds. In a way, and at a distance, this begins to manifest as serving "their" people, which is right back to red vs blue and left vs right.

      Sam 88 Not always true either, I have a feeling both of you are right, for some it’s nurture for others it’s nature. Around 1 in 5 CEOs are psychopaths, meaning they really don’t feel much sympathy or empathy. Being a psycho also means you’re generally great at getting what you want out of people, which is most of sales. A psycho is way more likely to work towards one of these positions than say become a serial killer, for obvious reasons. Now that leaves 4 out of 5 who aren’t, who probably go against their own morals quite a bit, which generally I think is best done by dehumanizing people through numbers and generalizations, as well as a bit of selfishness. As Joseph Stalin once put it, “If one man dies it’s a tragedy, if millions die it’s a statistic”. If for example you’re a billionaire CEO, due to negligence and corner cutting, one of your buildings has an accident, killing 500 guys. You don’t know any of these people personally, you didn’t intend to kill them, and ultimately it doesn’t really personally affect you in any way other than the PR nightmare and money to families. You don’t really feel the moral repercussions because you can just place it in your mind as a statistic or generalize it and not feel poorly about it. This isn’t a psychopathic action, everyone has done this at some point or another. It’s the same reason you can watch say a war movie and feel nothing at watching a bunch of characters die on screen, you can’t really feel bad for each individual character. Or you can go to something like the Vietnam memorial and not burst into tears every time you see it. As a leader one of the biggest flaws you can make is judging how well you’re doing by your supporters, not by your critics. This is why Donald Trump is as hated as he is, he’s judging himself based on what his supporters say about him.

If we carry on surrendering national powers to global organisations, as Harari suggests, we will end up losing all of our freedoms in the name of protection. We are on a dangerous road towards a single, world government which would have a single, world army. With that amount of power why would they bother remain democratic?

    The discussion about the topic of nationalism vs globalism is an intellectually stimulating one. The guest has done a fine job articulating many of the points relevant to such a topic. However, given the journey he has undertaken acquiring valuable knowledge over the years, and especially since he had given many talks directly relating to religion, it is surprising that he did not answer properly the question about the purpose of life. He surely knows that a more complex answer exists, to such a profoundly existential question, than the one he provided.

    A global government would be a very dangerous thing. You can't just say its necessary to solve some problems but ignore those it will create.
    Once you have just 1 governing body, you've completely lost the ability for self-correcting policies due to comparing and contrasting between different regions. That's why smaller government is good. It allows a kind of darwinian process to occur, where people can vote twice on what's preferable: first in an election and second with their feet.
    I seriously worry a global government will make disastrous decisions but be too cocky and closed minded to admit it.

We, at some point, will no longer feel the need to make things into a "this vs. that" narrative. There is a way to sync the two concepts. They are part of the same continuum of thought and are the result of taking different precepts into primary consideration when developing a conclusion. There are several points of agreement between nationalism and globalism, however when framed as a battle, neither participant will be completely open and honest in regards to the validity of the others primary concerns, and will not acknowledge the likely negative outcomes of their proposed solution. You can't hype everybody up for a fight and expect peaceful dialogue.

    I enjoyed the interesting statistics by Harari at the beginning of the talk, but if 1914 should teach us something, than it is for sure at the very least: "never underestimate the stupidity and megalomania of unelected political leaders who are striving for creating big European empires". Nobody denies that we need global conversation and cooperation on several issues. But firstly, this cooperation needs then to occur really GLOBALLY, not continentally - to move political power to big regional entities like the EU is in fact counterproductive for global issues because it will lead to big power conflicts between the blocks of political and military power on a global scale. And secondly, even though there are global issues and their number might be increasing, the big bulk of the political decisions should ever more be decided in manageablly-sized political entities. Because huge global and continental political entities cannot be democratically controlled and concentrate way too much power and economic resources in the hands of very few. Huge political entities always end up sooner or later to become imperialistic dictatorships.

I think we are way too caught up thinking that we can only have one or the other, while the fact is that we can always have, and have always had, both. A lot of good and bad have come from globalisation, and the same goes for nationalism. Shouldn't we focus on the balance between the two other than choosing one?

      The extreme version where every product on earth is made by children in China for slave wages is not palatable to me.
      The extreme version where every nation performs every function for itself and must therefore have a very rigid, hierarchical society within it is also not palatable to me.
      There must be something in between where the lowest paid worker rights are protected (and there remains a proportion of each 'type' of worker in each nation despite some economic specialisation taking place nationally) whilst we retain national autonomy over certain crucial aspects.

      I agree. I don't think the answer to governance lies in any single ideology. To me it almost always seems like each side makes both good and bad points, and if one or the other had their way entirely the whole thing would go off the rails. I think good governance is a constant and dynamic process.
      A possible down side that I see is that it requires competent assessment and honest implementation.
      I think ideologies miss the mark because they aren't adaptable enough to changing realities. Look how much these days ideologues look to change reality rather than change their beliefs.

But one thing has always remained consistent over eons of time: humans have this tendency to remain aloof and to distrust our fellow humans who live beyond the mountains or across the plains whilst doing everything within our political, economic or diplomatic means to counter the threats( real or imagined) which is coming from a government or ruling regime across the border or from a country miles away from us geographically.

    This idea that the main political argument today is between globalism and nationalism is a misframing of the argument. No one has a problem with global trade, communication, or interactions. The problem with globalism is the actors in the globalist movements and the fact they wish to rule for their own sakes rather than the sake of the people of the globe.
    It's much like the problem with the EU. If the EU would work like the US, in the way the various states relate to the nation, I think the EU would not have the problems with acceptance it does today. The EU operates as a bureaucratic Oligarchy, not a democratic republic.

    He touched on the solution a few times, but never really elaborates on the concept. People are inspired by a narrative. It is the story and the values it represents that gives people a common purpose. Mythology has given us those meaningful stories in the past. When we develop a common narrative that encapsulates widely held principles we will have the mechanism for a common purpose in the future. The collectivist narrative and the individualist narrative are colliding for the purpose of combining them into a purposeful vision that pleases both ideals. We don't want totalitarianism. We don't want anarchy. We want a negotiated middle ground.
