I find it very impressive that they have such an initiative at governement level
Right on. Agreed.
Great insight, no matter how much power and ackowledge we've got, we couldn't use it to improve our happines... it is really something to think about, we still have the same primitive brain, even the newest anti deppressant are ineffecient to achive that goal
Yuval's socks make me happy
We need more people like him
Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product.
We're not wired for happiness but survival.
That might be true.
Also we are, like all animals, evolved (wired) to avoid suffering. Which is a step towards happiness but not enough.
Dude stop over thinking it..... Its not rocket science every animal on this planet wants to be happy....
❤❤❤
Sustainable, inclusive development is required to save earth planet
Sustainable is just another way to tax people in this monetary slave system....
Time. You can only understand yourself if you have an inordinate amount of time.
50,000 years ago, hunter-gather people had enormous amounts of time to think and contemplate.
Today, we have such little time that we have to eat fast food, but fast clothes, and fast delivery of our stuff. We become angry and anxious when things aren’t fast enough.
I didn’t get into the study of politics until I had more time.
Kuza zangpo? Stayed in Bhutan for 15 days. Nice people.
Craving for anything is a main cause of ssuffering ,self knowledge is essential to do right
What about the knowledge that this guy wants you to have no free will...
Human beings may do things in the hopes that it will make them happy but there is another side to this. In our joyful moments, what we do is an expression of that Joy. The dogs at my local dog run along with the children in my neighbourhood are not doing things in order to be happy. They're play is an expression of their joy and happiness and not a means of attainment.
Glad I found you and thank you for your atención and vision for the human race
权力是一种社会关系，而不是一座孤岛。如果我们以传统自由主义的观点来看问题，或者说以个人主义的观点来看问题，那么我们就可能会像本视频一样，认为今天的普通人也很有权力，因为今天的普通人比古代皇帝还要容易获得知识等等，因为今天的普通人能做成一些古代皇帝都做不成的事情。这样看来，工业养殖场里的肉猪，也许比丛林里的老虎还要有权力了。毕竟老虎要天天努力斗争才有可能填饱肚子，而肉猪只要能够合格长肉，就必然能获得大量食物--肉猪做成了一些老虎都做不成的事情！另一方面，有证据表明，原始人每天狩猎采集的时间比现代人的劳动时间短得多，于是原始人不仅生活较流水线工人丰富，闲暇时间也越长。丰富的生活，加上较长的闲暇时间，给予了原始人仰望星空的宽阔空间。这是强迫性的对立面。因此，我们看到了这样一个事实：在原始社会，几乎每个人都能在自己所处的社会关系里发出声音，原始即赋权；而在今天的社会，资本主义社会，绝大多数人不过是庞大的流水线上被资产阶级随意摆放的零件……由此可见，人的主体性是社会的，忽视主体性的权力观，是偏狭的。当然，个人主义的观点相当常见。例如，社会心理学泰斗菲利普·津巴多都在《雄性衰落》中写道：“归根结底，所谓终极权力就是那种能控制一个人的人生并且能够获得个人成就体验的能力。”接着，津巴多把个人寿命作为标尺，然后得出推论，“从某种角度而言”，女性的权力比男性大。但我们宁愿做一闪而过的流星，也不愿做永恒死寂的行星。“现代普通人的权力神化”，应该被采取强烈保留的态度。最后，我们丝毫不否认资本主义释放了强大的生产力，它带来了四通八达的公路和将地球连成一个村落的互联网，但其本身并不等同于绝大多数人的权力，它是代表着大多数人利益的社会党和工会夺取权力的物质条件。世界上最幸福的地方，不是新自由主义，甚至不是“中间派”的社会自由主义，而是民主的社会主义。这也意味着平等的权力关系与幸福的密切联系。

Jesus is coming for His bride ❤️
If the "full sit-down conversation between Dasho Karma Tshiteem and Yuval Noah Harari," was taped/filmed, would you please provide the web link to it? Thank you!
Where you in Bhutan?
Start LWL and see by yourself
Nope not happy. Pissed off and morose. But great pride in their wealth and gaining more of it. Pretty sure they see it as virtuous or at least proof of greatness.
They're just bored and don't know what else to do.
🕊️✨ I am every day more and more happy that Jesus is coming to take His own to Heaven.✨🕊️
tu é espírita Yuval?
Why does he have to take the example of Putin , and not perhaps the USA ?
The more I listen to Yuval, the more I think he might be off-base. Not sure how "happy" he is, yet he prescribes a direction that sounds intellectually appealing that is ultimately ineffective. Loosely evidenced by who he advises and what they are trying to implement.
Anything is ineffective until it works.
@@laaaliiiluuu If it works then it would be effective. If you are saying we should "keep trying", then we should consider the cost of what is being proposed. Winning $100 at the cost of $200 is not rational and does not increase overall happiness, it is just shuffling the deck chairs.
@@moycious Every invention was inefficient and costly in the beginning. Just think how much gasoline planes needed to fly and how little they now need (relatively speaking). Some things simply take time to be worth the investment. Or think of children. For many years they only cost your money, time and effort before they even become remotely useful as a social being. Sure, some gambles are always a lose but that's how life works. You fail 99 times and then you succeed.
@@laaaliiiluuu Massive social and behavioral changes based on policy changes and coerced regulations are not like immutable empiric laws that can be tested in a lab and then extrapolated into the known physical realm that we live in. While the Wright Brothers could have ignored a risk/return ratio failing over and over again their bets where based on scientific knowledge. Moreover, they had skin in the game because they were playing with their own lives and fortunes. Rearing a child follows Darwinian instincts and it is perfectly natural for an extravagant expenditure of calories to ensure the survival of your genetic code, a bet that has a good pay off because after all, you can't take it with you. A lot of what is suggested sounds like forced cultural evolution from a beneficent overlord who at the end of the day, still wants to remain in power. To me although it sounds good, it seems misguided, biased and haphazard.
You should give this advice to Israeli government also.
He gives A LOT of advice to Israel, inform yourself
@@Shivaroz9not to the government
@@Shivaroz9 clearly he does...they are trying to fulfill what will never happen as most Israelis are unfamiliar with the New Testament so they are attempting to create a false messiah using tech....the deicidal curse is real...read the New Testament and know facts/truth...however, Jews all over are waking up to our Lord Jesus being their Messiah...the pharisees, scribes, etc from the Bible are all too present today...Yuval seemingly one of them imo
Putin is cool and has a hot wife 😊
To know God is happiness. A life wasted on self discovery is indeed a wasted life. Ask him with all your heart to reveal himself to you and he will. Ask in Jesus' name.
Prove it. Yeah you can’t because this is only your belief. Mostly religious i know are unhappy, and worst, with the authoritarian tendency of the need to convince other (and making they miserable also - but “save”).
