50. Yuval Noah Harari on the History of Our Future

To mark the 1 year anniversary of Outrage + Optimism being a podcast, we have on historian, futurist, philosopher, and best-selling author, Yuval Noah Harari! He is best known for his book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. A phenomenal read.
Yuval shares with us the power of the stories we choose to believe about ourselves. How good they can be, and how they can also trap us. We get his thoughts on the narrative of the climate crisis, and what it would take us to believe to survive it.

    Thank🙏 u very much for the podcast "outrage and optimism''o yuval harari, one the best teachers👩‍🏫‍ pf the 21st century, but evry thing he trace back to the roar of the lion in African Savannah is interesting, fight, flight or yield is the way of the humans. It's every where. Most of the action is now is artificial intelligence. But relationship guide is religion🙏🙏 hence it survives to aid the mind set of the few that's all. Good👍👍👍 podcast it's effective as a raging bull. Sky

    Agree with him on one point his mind is a factory of stories , many of them fictional. I know what reality is . He and his freaky friends have created this fictional future where human augmentation , the fictional superhuman that will somehow create a heaven on earth. Nah, it will be a dystopian nightmare . There’s many who meditate that understand that life doesn’t end when we leave this physical world . I feel sorry for those who think otherwise . Speaking about the Black Plague - the grave robbers at the time avoided the plague using a mixture of natural plant oils . Shame Rockefeller took over the medical industry . Paris agreement is going to be the death of the world as we know it . So hey I’ll be off and create my own reality , it was done with climate change , it was done with these faulty vaccines, it’s been done with Net Zero . Fear is what made people get vaccinated when the majority didn’t need it , just as fear of climate change is making people swallow the climate myth .

    "Reality." Is based on human perception - which is limited. Yet Harari preaches that some humans (like himself, who are linear thinking materialists) DO perceive Reality accurately. Some humility might open his mind to the more advanced science, Quantum Physics, whose scientists display Reality as not at all linear nor material. His suggestion that human goals are best served by conversations is the most insightful thing he said, because it requires an ongoing, deep process among diverse perceptions. This is opposite the U.N., the WHO or any other institution unilaterally deciding what Reality is and therefore what everyone's goal is, along with dictating the methods to reach that goal. Such hubris does not bode well.

    You have clearly never read a paragraph of his books... If you do, you would have understood how yuval mentioned that or senses don't allow us to see reality for what it is... He doesn't even belive in free will.. How can you say that he thinks we perceive reality at is ?.. He's clearly trying to tell you the opposite

    Your interesting comment made me read up on quantum physics a bit. As you stated, at the level of quantum physics, materialism may well be false. There may be phenomena that are non-material because they are non-localizable in space and time. But is the potential falsity of materialism at the quantum level really a problem for Harari's views or arguments? If the answer is yes, then it seems like science (sans quantum mechanics), as a whole, would have a problem. All Harari really does is present - and synthesize - scientific findings about humans, i.e., from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, and, of course, history, etc., in a way that is understandable for the average reader. His main point, based on these scientific findings, is that humans are storytellers -- and story believers -- and that all of these stories are invariably false. Most humans live in an imaginary reality, a story or stories, and have no idea of why they do what they do, or why the state of human affairs is as it is. And because most humans don't understand reality, they can't effectively change it. I, for one, don't see why quantum physics would force us to abandon, or even call into question, all prior scientific findings just because they are materalist and linear. At the non-quantum level, scientific findings, at least so far, best explain human nature, in a way that other systems, such as religion, cannot. To rival or surpass the explanatory power of non-quantum science when it comes to human nature, quantum physics would have to describe human nature in a way that has greater explanatory value than non-quantum science. It's hard to see how quantum physics can do that. How, for example, could quantum physics explain, better than non-quantum science, e.g., evolutionary biology and psychology, why humans are cultural creatures and what this means for the future of humans? But, maybe, I misunderstood your point. If so, I apologize and hope you will tell me where I went wrong.

    He thinks he has something Novel to say, and thinks he is very clever. He is telling us things we already know in most of his talks.

    You say Harari is one of the deepest thinkers, and yet if you listen to his many talks, you see that he often repeats the same lines, analogies, talking points, responses, etc. And appears quite reticent to venture outside of his expertise, his research, his conclusions, etc. That to me is not the mark of a truly deep inspired thinker.

    Yuval ji your ideal Budha and his technique Vipasana, is building block of Christianity. Jesus lived, taught nonviolence because of the Ashoka adopted it in his policy. Old testament is full of weapons as is all religions. But Jesus shunned weapons, first time in the religious discourse. Buddha and Jesus are on the same way....?
