Yuval Noah Harari: Why We're All a Bit Colonialist
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 тра 2024
- Some people feel strongly that all colonialist legacies should be eradicated. Is it possible to achieve such a goal? Well, when such views are expressed using imperial languages (spoken by over 90% of the world's population), the answer is clearly - no. The idea that you can go back in time and erase all traces of colonialism is simply unrealistic. But just because we received certain legacies from our ancestors, that doesn't mean we have to behave like them!

How about we just keep telling the truth about history and see what happens?
But even the truth is contextual, isn't it??
@@shubhanshuindra4859 As long as we support honesty as much as possible, the debates about context would be very enriching.
Evolution is a fact. It happened.
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past." If you read such books as "Lies my Teacher Told Me" and " A Peoples History of the United States", et al, you will see how history has been bullshitified...
The point that is well made often though is that forgiveness must connect with changes in behaviour and the restoration of inherited imbalances.
Inherited imbalances? Oh please. Evolution doesn't care about your feelings.
That's a good point, I think especially the changes in behaviour part is crucial. Restoration of inherited balances and stuff like reparations is often trickier because it's tough to implement without creating new anger and potential injustice, because it's hard to quantify when so many generations have passed and to give something to someone you have to in most cases take it away from others, and that's hard to do without impacting some people who may not be connected to the sins of the past, or others who may not feel they should be punished for the sins of their forefathers who they had no control over.
@@ericb4512 Evolution is a worldwide fact. Nature doesn't pay reparations.
Get rid of being a colonial empire, not get rid of all our history and culture today.
exactly! It's ok to accept reality and history but to pretend it's ok to accept a bad thing as it's happening, is just wild.
Someone gains power by getting rid of history and enemy, they won't be convinced at all.
That would mean the US will cease to exist and vacate the entire country to native americans, as it is inherently a colonial project. Is that what you want?
It's the ancients who aren't dead you should be worried about!
Whatever side you sit on, that's gotta be funny :)
Vampires? 😨
This man is intellectually subversive and morally dishonest. One simply cannot put old political systems on par with modern ones. He totally ignores the creation and role of the UN system and international laws after 1945. These were precisely set up with the aim of putting a stop to the lawlessness, criminal wars and injustices of the past, caused first and foremost by European States waging war against one another, culminating in the most devastating world wars, which wiped out scores of millions of people across the planet. By doing so, he tries to justify the continuation of unspeakable war crimes Israel has committed and continues to commit against the Palestinian people for the last 76 years.
Right, in particular those ‘ancients’ who are 500 years and older!! 😂
@@NicoleBL2 I don't understand the gag what does 'ancients' mean?
I can’t believe this brilliant man actually suggested that being anti-colonialist necessarily entails not speaking colonial languages.
He didn't say that.
He said it to show how ludicrous that would be …
One of the finest historians on the planet. Thank you, Yuval, for your many educational books and videos. You are a great teacher.
YOU BELIEVE A SATAN WORSHIPER?
WHO WANTS TO CHANGE THE WORDS FROM BIBLE AND SCRIPTURE?
GOOD LUCK IN HELL WITH LUCIFER
🤢 🤮
Main satan's lieutnant of wef! Nazi Schwab has learnt a lot from him!
🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤔
This is what I thought before he deleted my comment, just because I expressed my opinion. I said that we are now more connected and advanced than the Middle Ages, so we have less need for weapons, war, and the killing of innocents just to show our power over others
A true criminal, that defendes NWO, and trans-humanism
Most anti-imperial ideologies (at least ones I've seen) are most talking about the economic character of imperialism and colonialism not language
STOP The GENOCIDE is what we are syaing not get rid of colonial languages
But where does the current genocide come from ? Doesn’t it come from the past genocides ? Weren’t there genocides in the Old Testament ? There were tribes … canaanites, amonites, philistines etc back then. The Israelites killed them all - wiped them out. The people of Jericho were killed by Joshua! Judaism has genocide in its DNA so does Christianity (also lays claim to ownership of the Old Testament) Jews and Christians have been ethnic cleansing for 2 & a half thousand years ! Apparently with God’s blessing 🤷🏽♂️ apparently the Jews are God’s chosen people, so god has favorites and prejudices … apprantly God is xenophobic 🤔
We? Who is we? Hamas supporters?
Great. M big fan of your valued research. I m from Pakistan and hv read books , written by you. Regards
Forgiving the injustices of the past ... Great wisdom. But not forgetting.

How nice to have this message so close to Empire Day (24 May), Queen Victoria’s birthday.
2:51 How do distinguish between that vs something that seems hypocritical like: "There's not much we can do about what we already did to you. But we can have all the moral outrage in the world if you try to do that to us."
How is that hypocritical? Thats just how it is, or do you wanna eradicate Sapiens as revenge for the Neanderthals?
He is just a psycho. In the normal circumstances he would be in jail already for spreading fascist ideas.
Plus, look at him, if it wasn’t for his Phd he would probably doing something outrageous on the other woods.
And we would know about his as Yuval the ripper or smth.
@@user-kh1vo2fc6s Кажется. ❤️🩹🙏
Except it has to do nothing with languages...but justice. We can take the good ones, language for e.g. & leave out the bad...such as racism, discrimination, poverty...etc
Sir you'r great Thinker
Dr Yuval,
Great point view from postmodernity mindset that past is death and language is part of colonial too .Therefore,we need stop talking another language because is part of colonialism 😂😂 please, can I copy your video??? Thank you 🗽👍👍
Your profile icon flag is showing what kind of sheeple you are , let me guess you also love Dr. Fauxi 😂
As long as powerful groups *still* think and believe that they're either the chosen ones, the central nation, the pure race etc, we're doomed to repeat history.
only if they are wrong
Like who are you talking about? And how did they get their power, by black magic or by being hard working and highly intelligent?
I couldn't agree more
Better throw salt to my own eyes and eat shit than listening to Yuval. How many or you have got it yet?
I like this one: .... they even don't care how we remember them !!
The observation from a Hebrew speaker raises a thought-provoking question about the potential for successful language revitalization efforts to inspire similar movements focused on learning and preserving more specific, often endangered languages. The revival of Hebrew as a spoken language in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is indeed a remarkable example of linguistic and cultural reclamation.
Given the Hebrew language's triumphant resurgence, it is worth considering whether this model could serve as a blueprint for other communities seeking to reconnect with and safeguard their linguistic heritage.
was not "resurgent" national laguages are ingegnerized to create a Nation State, hebrew you talk is an invention, people didn't use this language some decades ago. What happens if i start to use ancient latin to speak, shoudl i revive the roman empire ;-)?
I would love for the same to be done for Egypt. Wish for them to throw of the arab shackles so to speak.
Of course I know that they are ethnically mixed but so are Ashkenazi jews, being genetically half german Rhinelanders. Would love to hear some Egyptian in Egypt:
Including the languages spoken by the Palestinians and arriving Jewish populations like Yiddish and Ladino who were forced to speak the invented Israeli Hebrew.
Cannot take this fiction historian seriously anymore :-) He from his usual echo chamber was the one saying in 2022 that Russia must be defeated because Ukraine is superior and older civilization, while he stayed silent on destruction of Mesopotamian (Iraq) civilization by US. Plus his continued silence on Israeli illegal occupation and genocide of Palestine continues
@@stefanovergari9815Modern Hebrew is sort of like Orwell's Newspeak, particularly because it was created as part of a dystopian monstrosity of a state
Forgiving all the injustice in the past? Seriously?
In Spanish is the same colonialismo e imperialismo!!!!
❤from Kerala
esperanto?
Exactly
So you are saying lets forgive the Holocaust?
I think Yuval is going from intellectual with little bias to a colonial apologist 😢 but I have hope he will recognize his path and change it
Yuval Noah Harari has been 100% consistent since his first book, Sapiens.
One of the brightest minds of our time!
Colonial legacies are not necessarily negative, and that we cannot simply discard them. However, we also cannot ignore the injustices of the past.nor present.. Many aspects of modern society, like technological advancements, scientific discoveries, and democratic principles, have roots that predate or developed independently of colonial systems.
Colonial powers often introduced infrastructure, education systems, and healthcare services that improved living standards in some regions. Additionally, cultural exchange and interaction fostered new forms of art, literature, and music.Do the current colonial powers deliver on this? Does Russia for example? Does Netanjahu?
Many countries have achieved significant progress after gaining independence, demonstrating that alternative paths to modernization, colonization is not q requirement for progress..
We should focus on building a more equitable and just future. This involves addressing current challenges like poverty, inequality, oppression, apartheid and environmental degradation. We should recognize the genocidal intent and acts of current leaders. Extermination , forced displacement,, withholding aid water and food, dehumanization of citizens, using food as a weapon, destroying hospitals. We should not use the languague of genocide a la Amalek "kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings" not only because it is inappropriate, but also because it is counter productive.
There's absolutely nothing good about Colonialism. Most if not all peoples who were colonised are still struggling today. Among the poorest in Australia, Americas for example are the colonised people. The Indigenous population.
Education and infrastructure in Colonialism existed to serve the colonial power and not the colonised.
Amen to that. The people who benefit from our current economic and social systems due to colonization really have a hard time understanding that there is and has always been a problem with it.
Great job, since our logic lecture invited us to your speech about the future of humanity on the University of California TV, l was impressed by your speech. Good content. Keep it up. I don't believe in any traditional religion, I wanna be an atheist but the stigmatization is horrible. I am from Ethiopia 🇪🇹.
True words about Forgiving. As a grand child from a Auschwitz victim from one family side and at the same time grand child of a German soldier from the other family side, I wrote a song about this weird story. „Forgiving“ -> ua-cam.com/video/9hCKKgqgynw/v-deo.htmlsi=XFpEO-fw74q37gG0
I just heard your song. Very beautiful!! I love the melody and interpretation. But it’s not clear though what it is about from the words
@@NicoleBL2 🙏🏻
Forgiving is the part for the victims. Much more importantly, asking for forgiveness and act in accordance with it by the descendents of the colonialists and trying to be just reverting it back. Of course, we can not get rid of the languages, but there should be honest and tangible efforts such as returning stolen artifacts and etc.
We start after the Arabs… can’t wait until they turn North Africa back into Christian realms. We will turn them back into pagans the next day and pay for the recreation of native languages.
Can’t wait for the Turks to hand over their country to Greece and move back to steppes.
Then the Greecs will rebuild Troy and teach the Anatolians the Hittite language.
So dumb
✨👏✨
Nelson Mandela already did what Yuhavl Noah Harari is trying to teach us now, and that is why South Africa is at peace with itself now. Forgive, but don't forget. That is the Wisdom.
Genocide appologist telling us about colonialism.
'Genocide apologist'...That's what he really is.
Absolutely.
There are differnt views about justice. Most impires were build on certain ideology and they wanted to spread it, but collonialism is different because its more about gaining not changing. You also mentioned injustice and said that we should not repeat. Well said. However, what is injustice? Does everyone believe in the same moral of justice? Short answer is no. Imperialism kinda wants to make people to believe in certain "justice", but thay have been failing and it is not a good way to do it. What I think is that we should be more tolerant rather than teaching each other what is good or bad
Ok, Yuval, most of the time I agree with you. But this time I have to desagree. Of course, we speak english and spanish and french. The problem is that, colonialism, is not exactly a thing of the past. In many minds and in many parts of the world, the concept and practice of explotation and power control, is alive and well. I think it is still a part of our present and, hopefully, will not be a part of our future...
@@OriginalOogway Harari is completely opposed to Bibi and especially the messianic rightwingers and has Bibi the worst Jewish leader of ALL TIME, not just present day Israel. He is 100% on point here.
@@OriginalOogway His immediate context for this statement is the indomitable neo-colonialist mentality of the "progressive" West - to which they themselves are oblivious. But he is also talking about Israel/Palestine, and saying that parsing through the narratives where every single fact about the past is told in opposing ways by the two people makes a lot less sense than moving forward and working for peace in the present and the future. This is the only way forward for the region - and it's the colonialist mindsets from the screaming western kids, from H*m*s, because they are absolutely colonial in their thinking, from Ben Gvir, from some Arab states, that push for more violence. In the end, Harari's point is: the cycle of violence never stops. Victims become oppressors, the oppressors become victims. It will never end, until they all die, both sides, unless people start focusing on the present and the common future.
@@maria9567 Yes, and we can do better being aware of ourselves moving forward since not doing so has brought us to this and continuing down this path will bring further harm. Our world has become uncomfortable enough and with insight and restraint it’s possible to improve.
Another brainwashed, get some pills.
It's always good to listen to Yuval Noah Harari. He sets the record straight in a world that sometimes goes crazy. If you feel confused and lost in this woke jungle, read Yuval Harari and your ideas become clear again. Harari is THE doctor for people who feel they loose control.
When you are one of the most woke people on the planet and even that doesn't stop the radical mob trying to 'decolonise' you
THE ARABIC EMPIRE?!
I feel very sad and very anxious
thinking that the story of the humans on the Earth can never change. Century after century.
Today, the human fury that brings wars can be a big dangerous for every living being.
This is the time for a new beautiful story, a very beautiful story will happen and brings peace. Peace inside of all the hearts, peace on Earth.That story will origin a new begin, witch will give rising to others beautiful stories all over the world, and finally, it will be the end of the previous narrative.
Finally all the childrens will smile and will knew that on 2024 a story of peace, hapenned and never more existed no kind of colonization or war on Earth.
Thank you for the opportunity to write here ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm such a huge fan of Yuval. I genuinely agree with his perspectives, but on this, the situation it is far more complex. It's just so easy for the victors of colonialism to say forgive & forget. Well I will be willing to forgive and forget when the ancestors of victims of colonialism are given the same opportunities and privileges as the ancestors victors.
You already have more privileges than the people your ancestors colonized, you just don't know much about it because that history was either never written or repressed.
what about salmon runs?
I'm a colonist. You're a colonist. We're all colonist. We've all been colonialiized
I would make a lecture named "Why we are all stupid and WEF puppets", only to mention the name of Yuval Harari at the end as being stupid and a WEF puppet.
After reading all the comments up to this moment on this post, isn't it nice to have someone who actually makes you think about things? AND is fine if you posses an opposing idea or mind-set. You go Yuval!
Sir, I finished Sapiens yesterday evening, and bought Homo Deus yesterday afternoon. I respect you immensely. The comments on these UA-cam shorts often come from people who get the sum total of their information from 10 second sound bites and social media. Sadly, the Legions of the Uninformed judge you and make idiotic remarks when they haven't opened a history book since the day they barely graduated high school, with its watered-down curriculum, making comments about an author they have never even read. It's hard for me to see you raked over the coals by people who have no clue what an awesome historian you are, truely one of the best I have ever experienced. I wish you had been my professor.
Beautiful message ! Thank You !
@@OriginalOogway nope, you've missed the point entirely
Yuval, thank you for telling the truth - hopefully you will be listened to, hopefully it will not be turned against you.
Ahmmm ok ...
in the future?sounds so far away, how about now?
Nurnberg 2.0.
Open borders promotes colonialism. It seems to be one way though. Why aren’t they sending or promoting western cultures migrate to the Middle East etc?
Um, most the population of israel is immigrants.
Thank you Yuval. Thoughtful
yeah, some realise that the nakba will forever be wrong and only a reversal can lead to peace
I think peace starts with the truth. by "Nakba" you mean the war started by the Arabs in 1947 and subsequent fleeing and explosion of 700,000 Arabs. Call it that - A war.
Great wisdom. Thank you.

I think apology should come first before forgiveness.
Speaking only for myself - I find it's important not to wait for an apology. My happiness depends on forgiveness and gratitude.
Acknowledging the breath and depth of the harm created by those in the past, along with the impacts of the ripples that have continued on…. Is essential.
Forgiveness requires feeling heard and seen… acknowledgment.
no one alive today should have to apologize for our ancestors... it's called the past, let's focus on the present and the future
@@sdksdksdk right.. let focus on the present, let’s identify how the decisions and actions of our ancestors have negatively impacted the present, acknowledge those negative impacts on humanity and society, and use that as ways to improve things for the future.
It isn’t about apologizing, it’s about acknowledging and understanding.
@@sdksdksdk it's not as easy as that. One usually doesn't ask for forgiveness if there wasn't anyone favored by the outcome.
In this case, the colonizer built their empire out of the slavery, abuse and oppression of the colonized, and that inequality persists today.
Forgiveness is a way to acknowledge the unfairness, even if you didn't do it yourself, but your ancestors.
Deception
Dude… you’re on your own with this one. Sounds more like a confession to me
You missed the entire point. Or, you're just a bot.
@@Reel___I’m not a bot. But I’ve noticed that a LOT of people online who support Israel’s genocidal onslaught against Gaza do seem to think I’m “just a bot“, because of their cognitive dissonance.
You are the best Yuval 💐💕

pero hay que saber que la lengua que hablamos es una lengua imperialista a pesar de ser descendientes de los colonizados, saber la maldición que significa esto para nuestra herencia, ser descendientes tanto de los colonizadores y de los colonizados, de los asesinos y las victimas, y no reivindicar legados criminales y genocidas sino condenarlos siempre
¿Dices por la imposición del latin en España por parte del Imperio Romano?
We can acknowledge the harm created by imperialism and colonialism, without the naivety that we can make things back to how they once were.
We can say… that was wrong. That doesn’t mean we expect to reverse everything that was done.
Bc of the actions of those in the past, we have new cultures that exist, we have new demographics and societies…. People are born where they are born, without choice, without fault. Of course we can hold people of today accountable to the actions of others. However, we can acknowledge the impacts and effects of those decisions, and make new choices on how to love forward from here.
If we focus on the present and future…. Israel has all the power and is slaughtering children… they’ve already done it, it’s in the past…. However those responsible are still alive today.
A man rapes a woman… both are still alive, she’s suffering the trauma of that experience…. You want us to just forgive him? Bc we can’t fix it? Just take it as a reminder that we need to try to prevent rapists in the future.
Forgiveness has to be earned… does it not?
Thank you sir for linking history with change.... Law of Change ,anitya ... Vipassana
no, we are not all . Many are just colonized. Like the people in Ghaza right now
That's the truth he is trying hard to avoid.
Bulkshit Bro
The People of Gaza are the Arabs. Their ancestors were one of if not the most merciless colonial overlords and slavers in history. Where they went they destroyed local customs, language and culture. Not only arn’t they ashamed of itTo this day that is their greatest pride
People in Gaza could have their free land since 1990 during a peace process negotiated by President Clinton. Palestinian leader Arafat and Hamas refused, dreaming the delusional dream to destroy Israel: "From the River to the sea". To claim colonializm is real about Iran Colonialism over Hamas Gaza.
Arn’t the Jews and Arabs the children of Abraham ?
He should read the Territorial Imperative by Roger Ardrey, 'place' may not be a genetic instinct but the connection of people to place, to home, is extremely strong and probably extremely important in terms of our security. If Harari didnt have the support of every despot in the world I might take him more seriously. nah.
you are wrong .... we are all not colonialist ... it is only a powerful rich minority which thinks like that ... our democratic system needs to evolve in order to minimize that minority's impact ...
Your comment is written in English, just the example Prof Harari gave 😂 oh my god no wonder the world looks like it is now...
@@fir3drag0n1984 name calling implies lack of argument and excess of bullying tendency ....
Actually it is true, one cannot simply quit colonialism while still living under settler-colonialism capitalism because that doesn't stop how it's written into modern society's written and unwritten laws.
@@johannahandersen8517 would you give the "conialism" bs a rest. There is no colonialism today. We are al justl couch potatoes watching the same Netflix shows. If you feel you need to do something go and volunteer in a pet shelter or help an old lady cross the street .
@@fir3drag0n1984just because you dont know what the word means doesnt mean it isn't a subject there isn't plenty of literature available about, if you were actually interested in educating yourself and not just seeking an argument in a comment section.
The dead don't care any more but they did care. Do we care only to live now? Well some do, but if we care for more than the now, why do our concerns cease mattering later? The now is inherited from the then, we should pay respect to that heritage. There are many biases that can be connected to a lack of care for dead concerns, even a bias to make the living dead, to rid us of concern for their concerns... It seems untenable. If you say we should only care abiut the living and the future, to some degree we restrict reasons to live for tomorrow, we limit our trust for today. We limit our potential.
Therefore, the full virtue and justice care about the dead, care about what they cared abiut, care about their truths, care about their efforts, their investments, their lessons and their reasons. Care doesn't mean worship, obedience or constraining ourselves. It means treating the voice of the past as if it still speaks today among the living. Speaking to that voice like we speak to each other, even in disagreement.
POV: You find out, as an Israeli, your whole nation is a colonial project.
You definitely misuse the word "colonial". It's not because there are illegal settlements in the West bank, that some people sometimes like to call "colonies", that Israel is "colonialst".
@@warmperson2007what's the correct use of the word "Colonial" in this case?
@@12318529 Colonialist powers : England, France, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Belgium, etc. It's when you have a mainland, called a "metropole", invading a far away country for the purpose of stealing it's ressources. Israel does not enter in this category. (Unless you want to consider Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem as the "mainland" and Ramallah, Jenine, Nablus as the "colonized"). Let's just call it "occupation". Furthermore, there are no ressources in the West Bank that the israeli sttlers are luring. All they want is the land without its inhabitants. They want the arabs of the West Bank to move 30 kilometers more East into Jordan. Mostly for security reasons. Sometimes for religious, messianic and mystical reasons. The use of word "colonialism" in this context is completely wrong.
Exactly!
You are way out there and insane.
?
I am ignorant but it seems to me there is only one religion that really insists on intimidatory behaviour to expand and maintain its dominance. Not to say that people of other religions have not chosen to do that, but it does seem that violence is codified and acted upon in one more than others.

@@TheEd0206 Is that gunna be the new "Get out of Jail Free Card"/ Mike drop/ BOOM line now, is it?
Nobody is suggesting to erase all traces of colonialism! in fact the movement is not to erase but not to forget legacies of colonial atrocities, forgiving is not the same as forgetting. what you are saying in terms of language etc are obvious, and shouldn't even be critical par of the discussion , of course few aspects of colonialism are not as harmful eg. language, food/culinary/ architecture/ technology.
If you are saying hat present is more important, then say Israel should stop colonizing Palestine, that should be the more important point of discussion,

Are you trying to demolish the justice system Yuval? :)
“A wrong concept kills more than an army…” Angel Livraga
Yuval is trapped in his own made-up fiction. Apparently he forgot the 21st lesson of his own book. But still to time to work yourself brother. I believe in you.

no he has not. clearly, you don't watch or listen to him. he despises Netanyawhoever and has been warning against him for years. open your ears man.
Agreed, he has not been silent on Gaza at all. Yuval has been continually discussing the terrible situation in the region both pre & post Oct 7th (and has been publicly calling out the terrible, current government in Israel for years).
@@rbotnic you should read my comment again! I am very well aware of his views on Netanyahu but has he condemned the Genocide happening in Gaza like many other Jewish academics or has he been shying away from using the words Genocide or ethic cleansing!?
Hi Yuval, remember me? 😁 So basically what you are saying is that we should have a world without God! riiiight

This is what the devil created , those of the past are not what should concern you minion boy
This is copium.
it's not that we are all a bit colonialist, but that many countries were colonized, including the soil where Yuval lives. Maybe that way of speaking is some sort of atoning for a feeling of guilt for knowing well what happened and is happening there.
Israel is both ancient and modern. It's eternal. The other Middle Eastern countries are inventions during the last 100 years or so. Those invented Middle Eastern countries and kingdoms are the real colonialism, so are you going to eliminate them? Start with Qatar, which declared independence in 1971.
Interesting. Do you really believe that? Try reading some history books about British imperialism and the formation of modern states.
