an excellent observation
@@ricklarson392 I agree (generally)... I only put the thumbs down to earn me some more 'Twix' from Elon... (Oh, excuse me, 'TwiX'....)
Do you actually understand what you are saying?
You’re kidding me…. Are you aware that he plans to eliminate most of the global population, place robots in the rules of the workforce for every job on the planet, and when he was asked what they would do with all the humans left on the Earth he said that in his book, the best thing they could come up with, was to just keep them medicated on drugs of all sorts based on what they liked and worked for them and give them video games it would not surprise me at all if Klaus Schwab ended up being the antichrist and Yuval Harari, the false prophet
“People are confusing politics with therapy.” - I am going to steal that turn of phrase. Such a great discussion.
Ugh we don’t need religion. People need a place to live in peace. We can have love without religion. Ask little girls you grown-a men. The crusades. Culture and cults.
Discussion? It has been a monolog.
@@robertvanslooten9475 Harari delivered good extended answers, while Bremmer gave good pointed questions and then got out of the way to let Harari talk. That’s the way these sorts of events should be. Nothing is more frustrating than when the questioner tries to be the responder as well.
Politicians need therapy because their decisions affect the lives of millions.
"Politics is the entertainment department of the arms industry" (Frank Zappa)
I love this man! His books have given me answers and an understanding of our species unmatched by any others…He is the Carl Sagan of human history, explaining complex issues in such an efficient and effective manner.
Me too, I respect him, he is brilliant and genius, his thoughts are unique, I admire his discussions.
Read my reactions and think it over.
Yes, he is a very good and clear storyteller and sometimes an eyeopener. His interviews however cause shadow images.
Unless he supports a genocide!
@@user-ly5ep1dz5h he supports a less populated earth. considers most as useless eaters.
My Dad always told me that "You should put your brain in gear before letting the clutch out on your mouth". It has helped me with focusing the mind on what you actually want to say and also stops you jumping in with something you might regret saying.
😂@@DavidBrynjolfson
Good advice for Yuval who supported genocide last fall and is now trying to rewrite his own history. He is a con artist.
@@DavidBrynjolfson I hear drugs may help, but the crack rocks keep getting stuck between my teeth. What were we talking about? Any who, flowers are best planted in the Spring. The frog has a yellow flower.
@DavidBrynjolfson Same, sadly my clutch and driveshaft could need a repair, but my gearbox is still in prime condition.
Yuval is a remarkable human. Why can't our leaders in politics be like Yuval? Well-educated, deep thinker, ethical, compassionate, honest and forward-thinking.
👏 🙏 🤝 👍 so true . . . but he puts them under immensely pressure and soon they have to v a n i s h (hope so)
Are you joking?? He’s a classic puppet of the deep state.
all politician know..but they not follow it because materialistic
👏
Because sadly he is a sioniste
Thank you for this brilliant discussion. ❤️
Discussion? Monolog you mean. Brilliant? Mediocre should I say.
Thank you both. It was an enormously productive discussion for me personally perhaps millions may feel the same way I did. How wonderful.
Enormously productive? Misleading in some ways should I say, though I think that not Harari's intention.
I love this man ❤️❤️❤️❤️
And you know WHY ? IQ (aka intelligence ) makes you "s e x y" !
Not a single name drop
The capacity to distill historical detail-about revolutions, state budgets, humanity’s distant past-into its essence is astonishing
Harari’s intellect is unique and beautiful
Yuval's books and talks should be made mandatory reading and listening in high schools and universities.
Why?
@@MrAndrew535so people are are aware of what he’s planning
Such a mediocre thinker…
They would be if God wasn’t going to mess all his and the globalists plans up. Oh well 🤷🏽♀️ 😆😆😆
Αα@@EdRomero312
Yuval, you are my hero! I wish you ran the world!
Deepest respect and admiration from this 72yo ex-Muslim.
😂😂😂😂😂yeap because you are sheep, 🤑🤑
He's an evil, sick individual. He doesn't believe in humanity and wants us all gone. Listen to him talking about what they're planning to do under the 4th Revolution.
Spot on! Humans are fighting for differences of their imaginary stories. 1:38
They're fighting because it's the sin nature. Wicked humans fight because they're at war with God.
3And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong-you want only what will give you pleasure.
4You adulterers!a Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God
@@livefree316 God does not exist
@@emma-lv7hnIf you say that god doesn't exists, you know as much as someone who says that god exists.
@@robertvanslooten9475 you can't compare knowledge ("know as much as someone...") by one phrase people use. Why would someone know as much as someone else?
You tried to write some wisdom? You failed
You see in your answers how and why they fight about their stories.
Yuval..i really like to listen to you and you are a great, brilliant and different person in the world. When you said the key messages is that's humans created the world in which we live so humans can change it and I definitely agree with you.
Now, we talk about the political system, not teaching bioscience. Without democratic systems, anything can be damaged by the ideological dictatorship.
All of our bioscience students know what you are talking the creatures revolution history
@@user-sl1ms2og6g firstly you didn't understand what I was said and secondly I know very well that this is not possible without democratic system and another thing any leader of a political system is a human being so I was said that human can change it. So think deeply before speaking.
Please be careful.
Wow, guys. Are we electing not to proofread our comments? Or is english a secondary language to yall? If you guys truly see Yuval as an inspiration, you might try searching for his speech regarding the "useless class", which I do believe you (as well as most of is) would qualify in his opinion. To summarize it, he is an associate of the board of the World Economic Forum. He climbed to fame by spouting radical malthusian and plutocratic ideologies. The sub-elite citizens of the globe have been essentially deemed as "worthless" among him and his other millionaire/billionaire goons. Thats the TLDR of the "passive eugenics" and other authoritarian agendas promoted by those pigs. Or to put it simply, they want a large portion of the world to be eliminated.
@@modera.torrent_ He's a good storyteller. I read his first three books with pleasure. He has some interesting comparisons. However, I like his thingkings about what he calls a worthless class, very doubtfull. In the first place, because it't very derogatory to a certain group of people. In the second place, because it's wrong to call them worthless. They keep being worthwhile, because they are consumers. In this consumption society they are necessary to keep things going.
In the third place, because in the assessment of historical events, he shows partiality. I don't think that a good charateristic for a historian. In the fourth place, because he neglects to mention that we're still hunter-gatherers. Hunter-gatherers of possession/property.
I think him very overrated
If this is not the most profound and thoughtful views we have heard on current state of humanity,l don’t know what is! Love this guy! Finding analogies and correlation between Apple Vision Pro and theology, acknowledging our follies and how we behave in public vs private and concern for sentient beings! Wow!
Sentient beings like our fellow animals, aka our fellow Earthlings. Like Yuval, you sound like a fellow vegan.
@@someguy2135 not exactly a vegan but as Yuval says "Vegan-ish"...its very hard being a vegan given the use of butter, ghee as an ingredient in most of the vegetarian dishes that are part of an Indian cuisine. But one keeps trying to upgrade from vegetarian to veganism in the future!
@@deepaknautiyal7956 If you Google the question "Is Yuval Noah Hariri vegan," you will see mixed answers. I think he says that he is "veganish" to avoid sounding like he believes in religious like dogma or taboos. If you go to his UA-cam channel, he is clear about what he thinks of the cruelty of the dairy industry in a video about that subject.
@@someguy2135 yeh I guess he definitely a vegetarian but not fully a vegan, flexitarian vegan if that’s a thing. But yes his deep concern for sentient beings is well documented even in Sapiens. More people should read it!
@@deepaknautiyal7956 If you watch his video about the cruelty of the dairy industry, it is hard to believe that someone as logical and self reflective as Yuval could ever buy and consume dairy products. Once you value the feelings of sentient beings, that should hold true for other animal products as well. There are some animal products that probably don't increase the demand that leads to cruelty and needless killing of sentient individuals, but as far as I know that list is limited to oysters, and possibly other bivalves. Maybe he consumes them.
Thanks for raising up the topic about cruelty of animals
Excellent discussion. Thank you both.
He’s fantastic✨🌏💚
I agree. He has great fantasies.
Respect to Ian Bremmer!
Protect Yuval at all cost
He is an agent of German leftist.Don't worry they will protect him at all costs

Agenda 2039
We can handle anything but ourselves.
I think, compared with in a distant past, we aren't more developed. We got more complicated.
I don't believe in revution. In a revolution nothing changes in essance. It only goes on in a different way.
Brilliant discussion. The interviewer asked excellent questions.
Yuval is a genius.
Like always, astonishing, attractive and mind blowing speech by Yuval.
Take care 😘❣️
Much love and care from SINDH ..🌹😊
You're surprising me.
lol
"The augmented reality of angels and gods" absolutely spot on.
Du Harari, j'en ai et relu avec grand plaisir. Bremmer m'était inconnu. Je l'applaudis virtuellement.
Knowledge make our life better. If we just could grasp the ideas of this man, we can end all international and national conflicts. One can love his country, believe in his religion and appreciate his culture, while loving other countries, respect other religions and and interact with other religions.🎉
Knowing everything doesn't make you happy.
Knowing nothing does not either.
In my opinion knowing more about what makes humans happy, generally and having more intimate knowledge on what makes us happier, as individuals is worthy to acquire.
Then of course there are all the other interests, ideas, focused goals & drivers everyone else has and it makes an interesting world of possibilities and potential, if we as a species (of communities) allow such.
.
The best interview of Yuval I've seen... great job Ian!!! "Sapiens" is my Bible. I am amazed how little we know about ourselves. Yuval teaches us about the stories that we didn't know are stories... that we created, and therefore can change. For the first time, I understand what he says about giving your mind a break from social media... I'm finally understanding that I've outsourced my memory to Google without realizing it... the flood of information I get is wonderful, but it is impossible to memorize it all... and it's easier to just Google it when I (constantly) forget... what I just learned yesterday. But... this interview was a gem from social media.
Harari is also telling stories.
"Sapiens" is too simplistic ... but his HOMO DEUS is an amazingly intelligently predictabilistic 🙂
You will be better of with any edition of "Goofy" or "Donald Duck"
I am big fan of Yuval Noah Harari as he helped me a lot to get to know about our history... Reading his books is really privilege... My kids is really gonna love his new book... All the very best for your new book & it is going to be next success in your bucket....
Thank you for exisiting, Yuval. You have made my life rich even in these horrible times. Rich with peace and understanding.
Loved this, spoke a lot of sense and resonated a lot. Thank you both.
Thanks for what you do ❤
Yuval is a very dear man, may we have many people like him.

“I am also trying to take good care of my mind”. ❤👍🏼
Yuval is awesome
Wow, as always great philosopher living exactly in times he should 🤝🏻🌞🙏🏻
What a fascinating conversation! Two great thinkers with a sense of humour…
I share Harari’s sentiments. I remember a conversation soon after 9/11 where I said something to the effect of “it’s all downhill from here”. Looks more and more like I was correct.
Different people may have different dates in mind about the beginning of WWII. For people of Czechoslovakia it would be the annexation of Sudetenland in September 1938. For Austrians it might be even earlier than that, in March 1938. While technically not ‘wars’ these events allowed annexation of a neighbouring territory under the threat of war. And they were enabled by the cowardice of UK and France governments.
9/11 and the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan set in motion a chain of events that has weakened the US, strengthened China, and gave Russia an idea to annex Crimea. Again the cowardice of western governments allowed it to go unpunished. And so here we are. In the midst of WW3 without most people giving it any thought.
Conversation? Most of all a monolog should I say. Great thinkers? 😂 Sence of humor? Yes, the interviewer.
I have been following Yuval, especially areound AI, for nearly a decade as our family works on Gaia's Seed. I sent this link to friends and family today and all of them.... all of them saw the connections. warmed my heart. Now that we are publishing Vol. 2 its easy to show people why we focused on the tween and early teen audience. We call the audience focus 9-15+... the plus is to encourage all adults to read it alongside their kiddos.
Cheers
Absolutely worth listening to. I thought that I would listen only for one minute and ended up listening the whole interview.
Thats nothing compared with reading his famous books ! Just DO IT !
The most valuable in social interactions is participating and communicating. That will be threatened if AI is not regulated .
After a long time, I am listening to Yuval. As always he is a great communicator. If things are as bad as he says, the future is scary.
Great discussion!
Monolog should I say.
Good evening Yuval and Ian
After two, three years of paying attention to our history and politic more than I ever did.
I remain wee bitty terrified but no longer shocked....progress? not really....!
We are going to require a St AI that's for sure. Thinking sooner, than initially thought.
Some stories do need writing, I certainly have a few to reflect and correct upon....story short!😀
Starting with Simple Trauma All-together INFORMED.
Our people, our knowledge, wisdom, information does need protecting.
Sanity sensemaking brain gym, thankyou for this.
Truly appreciate Yuval's work, too.
💜
Wonderful and insightful! Thank you for making this talk happen.
Gret interview, thanks!!! If only more political leaders around the globe listened, to what he has to say, world would have been a much safer place for humans.
I always learn something new from Noah Harari. He's brilliant and insightful.
Fan of Ian!
Genius😊
😢
Yuval is a great genius if our time. I agree with absolutely everything he says.
'cause you're polling
It's kinda impossible not to agree, if you have an open mind
As soon as Yuval teaches me anything, it's history (already)
History is the representation of events. Harari is speaking about the causes and consequencies of the events.

Recipe for the 21st century I want to live in. it’s hard but not impossible.
I loves this, lots of interesting topics!❤️
Yuval is such an inspiring, charismatic, outstanding human being✨✨✨
In which way?
@@robertvanslooten9475
...
In many that I observe.
I guess such a question as yours is something you will have to figure out and understand for yourself.
@@guylenner1729 The question was meant ironically, because I Iike Harari very overrated.
Puke!
Yuval I LOVE your brain!!! :) My hero. This is awesome. I have your books on audio when driving, and it is such a delight to listen and learn how it gets me to think and motivates me to search for more knowledge and to study more in any topic, really. Please keep coming up with more content.

Fabulous discussion. Thank you for the brilliant insights and perspectives
Extremely interesting conversation. Thank you to both of the gentlemen.
I love when Yuval spoke about they can get over the pain and fear if leaderships make the right decisions (speaking about Israel and Gaza). That pain seems like it will last forever in the moment but can and often subsides. What it takes is time ❤️ 💙 💜
Eliminate the lies, you eliminate the hate. Without hate, you get peace & prosperity.
Uniqueness vs Supremacy - Nuggets of wisdom from the interview
Dr. David Hawkins MD and PhDz book on power vs force, the hidden determinants of human behavior is profound
Such a GREAT comment ! I own some of his books ! Life and game changer !
Yes. We don’t think of ourselves as animals. Thank you, Yuval!! 🙈
We are animals, but we have an important distinction. Other than a few remaining hunter gatherers, we alone are able to choose what we eat and whom we choose not to eat.
We do not need to exploit our fellow animals (our fellow Earthlings) for any reason.
@@someguy2135We are still and almost all hunter-gatherers, of property.
We are worse than other animals.
@@robertvanslooten9475 Humans are often worse than other animals because most of us choose a diet which is needlessly cruel, destructive, dangerous, and requires the needless killing of billions of innocent individuals who can suffer. I don't blame most people since most people aren't aware of the relevant facts. Like I was, they were indoctrinated into the belief system called Carnism. The short compelling video by a psychologist called "The Secret Reason We Eat Meat" which has been viewed almost a million times explains.
That´s just because almost no one has developed his NEO-CORTEX !
So far i find myself agreeing with Yuval!!!!🙃🙏
Brilliant
👍 'humans fight over imaginary stories'
So appreciate a grown up conversation
Groovy - funky Ian Bremmer almost ruined the conversation to a show but end carefully tackle it.......Mr. Harari in rather light mood among all of his previous talk.
In conclusion what's happening?
Play or Drama, all over the world.
Let's congratulate and also show condolences to eachother just for living with this time.
I love you Yuvi
Yuval referred to something that the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks acknowledged: the idea that 'we' are bowling alone.
Such a fresh flow of wisdom, intellectual integrity, knowledge and depth!! The best possible spokesman for Liberalizm, even though some peopel are deaf to listen to Israelis as legitimate humans nowdays.
I've conceptualised a theory called "tool theory" that is built on the principle that everything humans create, whether in their minds, or with their hands or with both, for whatever purpose, is a tool. It dawned on me in my garden. This conversation adds more validity to it.
If you read Yuval's first book, Sapiens, then you will see that he gets awfully close to what you just mentioned. Somewhere in the earlier chapters, he talks about the first tools and codevelopment of language. Yes, it's quite likely that all the words and stories we tell ourselves are tools we carry around in our heads. What's more, they're like tools that can change our own stories and the stories of other people around us. Yuval Harari calls the transformation from regular apes to thinking apes the Cognitive Revolution. It happened around 120,000 to 70,000 years ago. We're not sure exactly how it occurred. Perhaps it was a slight rewiring of our brains. I think it had something to do with the rewiring of our brains and the use of fire. As we got warmer and our brains changed slightly, we were better able to spend the time around nice, warm fires and begin describing the world to each other in very old languages.
I used to hate this guy but I listen to the entirety of this interview and I genuinely think he might be a good man...
We are incredibly fortunate to live in Yuvale's era. His intellect and wisdom possess the potential to bring healing to the Mother Earth. ❤
‘everything is created by the mind’
Superbbb❤
1:03:19 very inspiring reason behind his meditation practice. Taking care of his mind, the same way ppl take care of their bodies. It reminds me it's important to do both ❤
Thank you Yuval 👍
The right side of UA-cam 🙌🏿
2 of my favourite speakers together.... awesome
yuval constantly provides strong arguments for a better future
Am I a bot or not? Can't tell? Tell your politicians we demand the right to know if we're interacting with AI or not.
Well... are you?
The problem comes when it becomes a mandate for biometric internet passkeys and mass surveillance.
@@aerialpunkin1961let’s hope the evolution theory and natural selection is on our side, Amen.
Then only the bad guys will use bots that don't announce themselves
And how do we achieve that
His warnings about AI are truly serious just like other experts say about AI but only time will tell if governments or AI dev organisations took any heed
Fantastic!!!
What a gem of a human. Unfortunately, the level of anti-Jewish rhetoric I am hearing does not give me hope.
LOL! I'm Jewish and an Israelis. I didn't hear ANYTHING Anti- Semitic at all Grow up
@@sarahtiferet9025 Not in this video. Among students and the public. Why so mean? Don't assume bad intentions.
@sarahtiferet9025 maybe ask a question for clarification before jumping to the worst conclusions about someone's statement. There's a Hebrew phrase for assuming the best in someone as a starting point, although the phrase escapes me at the moment.
@@thunderstreet78 Funny -i think its "mean " to throw around the term " anti-semitism". Using it is ALSO assuming bad intentions My Grandmother was a Holocaust survivor. She had no patience and in her later years she despised other Jews and " Christian Zionists" using her horrific experience as an excuse to de-humanize and exploit other Semites in her name.
@@GulDukat479 LOL! I was speaking for my Grandmother who was a Holocaust survivor Her Grandparents were originally from Morocco and their closest friends were Arab Muslims . It was WHITE Europeans that started the " Jews killed Jesus " and other numerous " Blood Libel " myths that were the predecessor to the Holocaust . She had no patience and in her later years for people throwing around the term " anti-semitic " she despised other Jews and " Christian Zionists" using her horrific experience as an excuse to de-humanize and exploit other Semites in her name. And yeah it is Immature and lazy to throw that term around .
Wow, I love him ❤ 🇦🇫
Amazing interview.
good work
Love it. 😊
❤❤❤
There are many plans in the heart of man, only the judgment of Yahweh will stand.

Best duo ever.
😂
I don't know that this work on changing the story can be done, unless individual storytellers develop an awareness about the nature of their mind, their emotions and their feelings. Ultimately, we are psychological beings. Any amount of meditation will teach you that, quite quickly. Thanks so much!
The fruit story 😉 in Africa is a good one. 😊
Waouw. That's scary. Thank you Yuval
Brilliant insights
so intresting!😊
AMAZING
The problem is taking things literally. A lot of stories are about inner states, for example a New Jerusalem is about a new state of consciousness rather than being about an actual place. There was a time before literalism when metaphor like this was understood. It is not understood by many today and that is a real problem. This is something that Harari does not address. People should be tested for their understanding, or not, of metaphor, it would reveal and explain a lot.
