      And while the historian says media misinformation isn't unique to America, it's RIFE in America for a reason: the average Brit reads, on average, 11-18 books per year. By contrast, the average American reads less than one. This should be worrying in a country where the average person has access to guns!

      Agreed. Anybody who holds a position to influence the masses should absolutely be held to a higher standard and expected to be truthful in everything that they do. Media should be expected to tell the truth. The Republican party doesn't even have to have policies anymore, they run late and lies and mainstream media helped to create their false reality by pushing the lies. They should be held responsible but when the only punishment is money, there is no responsibility to the rich to do the right thing. Fox pushed the 2020 stolen election lies that led to an insurrection on our state capitol, they were fined $750 million dollars and they're still pushing lies.

      I didn’t hear him speak about the failure to develop amygdala. Antisocial disorder is biological. It’s not hereditary… it’s rooted in children brain development & stressing out kids during amygdala development that shuts down the synapses from forming due to emotional trauma. Americans especially, treat kids like mini adults from birth. Their brains are failing to develop the amygdala… leaving only the base brain (reptile brain) emotions of survival. In a survival mode, the self is all that is important & only the mother/child bond has any value but only on the short term. Everything becomes about the self, deceiving others to serve the individual, & even entertainment becomes all about gaming the system & dominating others. Public schools no longer enforcing discipline & failing to socialize kids is the largest contributor to antisocial disorder becoming a pandemic. Civilized behavior has broken down because more & more people are missing a functioning amygdala. This critical organ of the brain will literally shut down in kids who experience emotional stress without periods of recovery & healing. It’s a result of constantly bombarding kids with negative emotions & never resolving the emotional crisis the child is being forced to hide in order to be accepted. We are literally cultivating psychopathy by refusing to accept that children are emotionally fragile & require careful nurturing. Parents don’t socialize their kids anymore. They expect strangers at school will do that for them. The focus is only on money. Parents think money purchases their way out of raising their kids. In the past real life actually stressed kids out, especially males. War, poverty & lack of medicine/healthcare were the worst culprits of childhood stress. Now it’s other kids bullying & tormenting while being inundated with violent content in media, etc. Its insidious. Our amygdalae are simply no longer being developed in greater rates than ever before. We have emotionally dysfunctional people preaching to us that feeling nothing for others is a new evolutionary advancement & even a spiritual movement.,. The latter being absolutely ludicrous. But this is the increasing push of a majority that are missing their amygdala. They even suppress this information about the amygdala & child brain development as a way to keep normalizing apathy & narcissism & advancing antisocial disorder as a new advanced way of thinking. Scapegoating in families, as you are describing, has become increasingly common. The person in the family who has a normal emotional range becomes the scapegoat. Antisocial members of the family lean on each other to normalize their amoral behaviors & ideologies. But the root cause is the missing amygdala that failed to develop in childhood. Without a functioning amygdala the narcissists have no ability to communicate with reason or rational concepts. They will talk circles around a person with feelings & convince themselves & others that a person who has emotional normalcy is inferior. To the narcissists, their lack of feelings is not only normal but superior. The FACT that they lack a critical organ in the brain never comes up. That’s why you have been kept from this information. Look up the work of Dr Adrian Rayne using MRI scans to see the missing amygdala… then look up the biological facts of how the amygdala develops during childhood. It’s the big secret of our times. I too am a scapegoat. I could not heal until I answered WHY. This research freed me. I hope it helps someone else as well.

      If the said truth is subtle, it's also more complicated than a strightforward, simple statement. Subtleties add complexity and usually a need for context, so it is nearly a sinonyme for complication in itself. To illustrate, the definition of "subtle" is more subtle and harder to grasp in itself than "truth", "lies" or "simple".

      many years ago I remember seeing a film (National Film Board of Canada) that was called "Making The News". It was about News Media people traveling to Central America to get stories to feature on the nightly news cast. While in Central America they encountered a number of small, insignificant events/stories none of which would merit putting on the News. So they cobbled together several of these smaller stories making them into a larger story that woud get people's attention. And that story was what went on the National News that night. THAT'S when I realized that I could not believe everything I saw on TV because some of it was manufactured. These days, with the internet it is even MORE IMPORTANT to employ critical thinking and skepticism when confronting all the 'information' being presented as 'truth' when most of it is NOT TRUTH. Now, if you want the truth or something closer to the truth you are better to find someone you know and trust who lives wherever the event has happened and get their take on it. But remember even that will have bias.

    I think this is one of the most fascinating interviews I’ve ever watched. I’m going to order Harari’s book. Thank you!

      He kind of has a trilogy. "Sapiens" is the first of the series.

    Yuval really laid out the whole situation of our current political climate by highlighting how the information technology of the day has such a profound impact on society. The concept of democracy being a conversation and a dictatorship is just one person dictating everything…brilliant

    Dr. Harari is one of my favorite authors. As an academic myself, I like that his books aren’t overly academic. They’re written very intelligently & w/ an abundance of research but w/o the jargon of academia which turns off most readers. I always strive for this tone in my academic writings, too.
    What’s the point if academics only write for each other? I’ve ALWAYS felt we should be writing articles & books, especially in the social sciences & humanities, that anyone can read & understand. Trudging through exhaustive tomes & treatises in grad school made me despise the grandiose language & snobbery of most academic writers. Purposefully writing dense, almost incoherent, texts to be picked apart by confused grad students for decades to come while they chuckled demonically at their cleverness. Ugh.
    Great interview w/ a most interesting author & academic. 🌏✌️

      maybe Harari would say that was about those people seeking power. And they got it. Their dense tomes, assigned to their students for decades, made them powerful. And made a little more money on the side. Ah the American Dream, eh.

    Let's not forget education... The accessibility to widened fields of education... the sciences especially... has 'enlightened' many people...and as the importance of education and critical thinking is receding.... we are entering challenging times....

    A very prepared Ari doing his flat out best with his intellect, Weltanschauung, and his vast knowledge, barely keeping it toe to toe with a very self-restrained, nearly omniscient Yuval. I will watch several times. Interviewing at its zenith. A journalistic jewel to behold.

      this should be written in a letter to the editor somewhere. Really good writing.

      Let's not make them into God's. They had a great discussion. Very interesting and educational - flawed by inane partisan politics. EVERYONE LIES would have been an honest, and interesting title, instead of the tired Trope " Trump lies". Trump doesn't lie anymore than anyone else . MSNBC is the worst offender. Karmela Harris lies constantly. Its so tiresome the Astro - turfing, propaganda, Psy - ops, misinformation etc. Loved how Ari didn't play into the agenda.
