Thank you so much for this excellent summary. I am currently reading the book but find it tedious at times. He has done extensive research going back millennia… I will try to finish but appreciate this summary. It will facilitate my further reading🙏🙏🙏
Is that neo-marxism or Jesus of Nazareth? That is an *Aspiration* and NOT anything near reality. The "ultimate purpose of a human being" is to pass on our genetics to the future; to evolve to meet the needs of the future, and to pass on human information (culture) to our offspring. -- IF that culture *includes* aspirations such as ultimate altruisms, that's a CHOICE. -- The "ultimate purpose of a human being" is to still be here a thousand or ten years or centuries from now, even if unrecognizably evolved. ( A mere drop in the universe's bucket.) -- IF such survival requires empirical altruisms, and religious/socialist ultimate purposes, I am certain we will figure it out, or fall trying. That's reality.
In response to question regarding self driving cars the pedestrian is the most vulnerable so they always receive the highest priority in terms of keeping them safety. The cars need to be made as safe as possible for passengers and passengers' safety would be lower priority to pedestrian safety and everybody can still be relatively safe.
What is the biggest threat to enhancing’ humanity’ : 1 Religious bigotry and fundamentalism. 2. Terrorism 3 war mongering 4 Profiteering And the list goes on
Whether agreeing with his points or not, Mr. Harari seldom fails to bring some interesting points into focus. I find him both challenging and worthwhile.
-- The problem with Harari is that he is a postmodernist. That is, all his cleverness and understanding is filtered through the pink glasses of neo-marxism. So his *concerns* about emergent technologies are coloured with the filters of postmodernism. This is his worldview of Human Information. -- Example: Is it socially FAIR that only billionaires' can ride into space as tourists? Or that some people ae not allowed to fly on commercial airlines? So if only the rich can afford emerging technologies, does that somehow make it immoral in a socialist worldview, or somehow a concern? -- The problem is that postmodernism is socialism 2.0. And that there not exists a single successful socialist state. -- The problem is that resurging Judenhoss in the world/UN has exposed the failures, immorality, and illogic of taking postmodernism too far. -- The only concern for postmodernists should be the distrust of corporations to own our information/data. Instead the government of the people should own our data, and elected governments be responsible for keeping that data safe. (If we are doing nothing illegal, what's wrong with government seeing our Data?)
" if only the rich can afford emerging technologies, does that somehow make it immoral..." that question does not arise only from a socialist wordview. If Billionaire tech owners can sway governments, and eliminate their competition, that is a worry from a capitalist pov. As for who owns our data, do you trust your government to safeguard it, and use it wisely? Do we trust mega corporations to do so ,either?
"Is it socially FAIR that only billionaires' can ride into space as tourists?" or, more importantly, only the rich can afford potential genetic enhancements? Think of the early 19-20th century tech that initially only the rich could afford: world travel, medical care, education, private translport. These all became widely available to the middle-class by mid-20th century.There is no reason to think it will be otherwise with Ai Agents and advanced medical practice.
@@smkh2890 -- The current postmodern paradigm of not trusting liberal democratic governments is neo-marxist propaganda. Of course the Cheney/Bush years provided much evidence why citizens NEED to be awake and involved. -- Approaching corporate AI will be a monster. We will be slaves of the BEAST. -- Otherwise, a government AI trained on MORALITY could replace most bureaucratic staff with an honest, fair and efficient system. Democratically elected overseers and appeals of the system. -- The governing system of Liberal Democracy, so far, is the BEST. Capitalism needs regulation to tame its greed. -- There is not a single current example of a successful socialist system. And until we build artificial quantum computer-powered consciousness, no good Alien systems either.
One of the worst eritrea of these times. Harare speaking about humanity and consciousness?!?! When he days men are disposable?!? Puré hypocrysy, please don't listen to him Unless you believe in his ideas about creating one World one rule for everyone (excepto of course not him) and about humanity being trash. But of course not him!!!!

As in the past, today and in the future, the ultimate purpose of a human beings are to take care of each other.
Totally agree.

This can add incredible value to the conversation, really appreciate how you’ve highlighted “Socialism 2.0”.
