Yuval Noah Harari has a knack for finding the profound in the obvious. His book Sapiens recounts the history of mankind, discussing recurring themes like famine, plague, and war as well as global events like the agricultural revolution, the Black Death, and the First World War.
In this episode of People I (Mostly) Admire, hosted by Steve Levitt, Harari asks whether Neanderthals had souls and explains why money is fiction, traffic can be mind-blowing, and politicians have a right to say stupid things in private.
This episode was originally published July 22, 2022.

I think what captivates the readers of Noah is not the mundane line of exciting story-telling, rather the abundance of intellectual sparkles that shine the path of the story that he leads us through. Sheer sparkles of intelligence mesmerises the audiences, the way the stars in the dark night sky do; and Noah's intelligence does it the most.

@tom-kz9pb Год назад

Our lives are without meaning to the universe (sorry for the reality check to religious believers), but they can be full of meaning to ourselves. Meaning is an individual reality. You cannot "look for" and "find" meaning, because it is not existing externally, predefined, out there somewhere to be found. You *define* your own meaning, whatever appeals to your heart, if you can simply get in touch with your own heart and have enough ability to pursue your sense of meaning. To see how our lives do not have meaning or value to the universe, one need only to take an honest look at the caprice of life, if your psyche can withstand it, without retreat into magical thinking and denial.

Thank you for this interest podcast. Tuvalu perspective is often illuminating. Two things though; firstly I believe we do have a purpose - it is to evolve into the best version of ourselves we can be. Secondly I believe we should expect our leaders to be authentic and responsible both privately and publicly. We certainly don’t want to be entrusting the nuclear codes to inauthentic and irresponsible leaders just putting on a show. Nurturing these qualities is part of our evolution as a species. Our very existence depends upon it!

@fuckylucker 2 месяца назад

In another interview he says that story telling is our superpower. Then he tells us "not to view the universe as a story" that "the universe does not function as a story". But the universe is a story! It's a slow process of evolution. To think our ancestors have evaded war, famine, and disease OR to think that our ancestors sacrificed everything just to raise and protect their children, to try and give them a better life than themselves. This has to be the most romantic and meaningful story that we have. The hero's journey! Not to mention this story takes place on a giant space rock we call Earth which has its own incredible story that takes place within our galaxy. And the Galaxy has its OWN incredible story. All these stories are so deeply intertwined like layers to a song.

Beyond human stories and what science has revealed to us, the cosmos has more mysterious and fascinating secrets and surprises. For me, that's what makes our existence both meaningless and amazing.

I am 65M Indian, highly influenced by Yuval's writings and speeches. Practice meditation too, but limited to 1 hour a day. I never find it easy, with a consistent wandering mind, body aches all over and an urge to reengage in life activities. Good tips from Yuval to engage more in my meditative practices. I know a few righteous Indian politicians making impactful visionary statements and aspiring actions in the present with hope. But I also believe that there is no limit to human stupidity.

The practices of Hindu/Sanatana dharma are too objective and material oriented around asking favors or returns through all conceivable rituals, often bribing. Lately it is hijacked for political purposes exploring communal differences and establishing electroral majority in democracies. While very few take it for spiritual enlightenment. Though marginalized, but expected to defend it in speeches and debates wherever required.

@ericchristopher1687 Год назад

What Mr. Harari says about readers focusing in on what he considered the most banal and widely known things as being, to them, the most significant, fits perfectly with Gore Vidal's take on history in his wonderful novel, Julian. The Roman Emperor is writing his (fictional) memoirs, and almost apologizes to the reader for relating "what everybody already knows" because, in a hundred years or a thousand, will they be known commonly? What is common knowledge to specialists in history or human evolution may be both essential and, to those specialists, seemingly banal. Thank you for your videos.

*LIFE is Amazing and Meaningful here is why?* (I simplified it.) ........From a logical perspective, if the building blocks of life are meaningful, the systems they create will also be meaningful. The properties of the whole system are influenced by its parts, ensuring that the inherent meaning is preserved and often amplified. *Therefore*, life, built on meaningful foundations, inherently possesses significance. The interconnectedness of its components ensures that life remains meaningful at every level of existence. We are meaningful because our foundation blocks are meaningful. "Life is whatever you make it." I hope this gives meaning to meaningless thoughts.

If life is meaningless one can’t really logically say that it is amazing (or horrible for that matter) but just that he experiences it as amazing or horrible. If life is objectively meaningless (and that by the way would be impossible to prove) it does not make sense to say that it is this or that because, then, it is nothing in and of itself. One could only talk about his experience/ feelings with something that has no objective quality or substance. Face value, to say that it is meaningless and amazing (or anything) is a contradiction.

Money isn’t just trust. If no one works or creates, then money is nothing, therefore, money is work and products created. Money is simply a paper of trade. The actual true currency is trade of services and products. The way Noah portrays money isn’t based on reality. If money didn’t exist the trade of ideas, services and products will always exist as long as we do. Deleting the value of money, nations, humanity etc… and concentrating on suffering, manipulates the value of the experience of life. The energy of human life reverberates throughout the universe. Every single person ever born is of huge importance and impacts the fabric of our universe. Be BIG with your ideas and values! You are not a small unimportant speck- YOU ARE THE ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS OF LIFE ITSELF!

His insights to human evolution is terrifying. AI will destroy humanity as we know it! Our world leaders listen to him but yet change nothing!

@johnnytass2111 Год назад

Does he make the claim that we are making an evolutionary mistake with building AI systems?

@2msvalkyrie529 Год назад

Rubbish !! He's an intellectual charlatan and plagiarist !!

Not only AI . All human artifacts, like capitalism, communism, democracy etc without exception have destroyed social fabric beyond repair. The truth is that humans are self destructing animals, unlike other animals, and technology is what changes over time. AI is just another in a long procession of tools

Humanity is not one homogeneous entity. Those who live outside the pale,may survive

He writes that, among other irrevocable phenomena, AI will self-evolve exponentially beyond our control, and treat humans as we have treated animals historically: as war conscripts; cruelly and brutally “raised” in industrialized settings as if animals are insensate machines; and brutalizing the humans who slaughter non-human animals. I dare say not even the 1% will escape AI dominance. Mr Harari is one of the most original thinkers of any epoch of life on earth.

End worldwide problems if we eliminate borders

@ceeemm1901 Год назад

The borders are just abstract concepts. Amazing how the mind keeps us prisoner.

I always had a feeling that life had no meaning….we are nothing, insignificant, Life is just a sudden brief eruption….But I have to say I don’t know if it’s liberating or deeply sad

@Hocksman Год назад

It depends. If you are full of ego and have a highly developed sense of self-worth and self-importance, then it’ll be deeply sad.

It’s a choice

You sound like you are in despair or very confused. There are trillions of reasons why you shouldn't exist, but you do. You are here because of utter randomness. Enjoy yourself.

It’s both

I find it useful to think in terms of purpose as opposed to meaning . My actions, speech and attitudes are amenable to intervention in the direction of promoting less suffering and more happiness in others . This seems deeply purposeful and for me is enough . To strive for some ultimate meaning Even if it was a riddle that could be solved , if the well-being of living creatures isn’t central to this “ meaning “ then for me it would have no utility in ways that matters so would be rendered meaningless . The book , Altruism was very useful in fostering my alignment towards this purpose.
