Throughout history there were many revolutions: in technology, in economics, in society, in politics. But one thing always remained constant: humanity itself. We still have the same bodies, the same brains, and the same minds as our ancestors in ancient China or in the Stone Age. Our tools and institutions are very different from those of Confucius’s time, but the deep structures of the human body and mind remain the same.
However, the next big revolution of history will change that. In the twenty-first century, there will again be many revolutions in technology, in economics, in politics. But for the first time in history, humanity itself will also undergo a radical revolution. Not only our society and economy, but our bodies and minds will be transformed by new technologies such as genetic engineering, nanotechnology and brain-computer interfaces.
Homo Deus will shock you. It will entertain you. Above all, it will make you think in ways you had not thought before - Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow
Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind', published in 2014, was on the Sunday Times bestseller list for over six months in paperback, was a New York Times top ten bestseller and has been published in nearly 40 languages worldwide.

    At around 19:00 in this video , he mentions how fast that job skills become obsolete. I came out of the IT field where job skills became obsolete approximately every 6 to 8 months. Thirty five percent of my time was spent learning the latest technology so I could just keep up. I agree with him and think that the pace of change in the future will in turn drive job skills obsolescence that much faster.

    The psychologist Csikszentmihalyi identifies a few functions of consciousness - one is that it allows us to react in a non-instinctive way to incoming sensation, another that we can invent information that does not derive in a cause-and-effect manner from incoming sensation - this allows us to create stories, an ability of great interest to Harari...

    Right. To me, human consciousness (specifically human self awareness) is just another layer of complexity of owr capacity to process information from reality. I think it plays a role and enhances our capacity to interact with the world and reality, as we are nothing but another constituent part of this reality, and therfore we should be able to reflex into ourselves as part of the ecuation

I like the fact that Harari talks about being emotionally resilient; that consciousness and intelligence are not the same; and. that we have to do more work on the mind. The brain and body can be made immortal but what kind of a mind will that being have and will the mind be gone.

    Social security in the Netherlands is based on solidarity and fraternity. All citizens are collectively supported, and people with a high income pay a larger contribution to the system than people with lower salaries. The social security system in the Netherlands consists of social services and social insurances.

    Harari is an amazing mind, and his books have provided me a wider horizon to look at History and its inner workings in politics, economy and culture. He has very good references backing most of his explanations and providing premisses to bold arguments on biology and life. But I have seen frequently that we haven't adventured or progressed on our understanding of Consciousness and its origins, so I wonder ... has he read Information Integration Theory of Consciousness? What does he think of it? The way I see this theory allied with the evolutionary perspective is that consciousness doesn't need a role in natural selection, as it doesn't present a cost to the individuals of a species, it's not something that you can turn on or off with your genes, it's an emergent phenomena resulting from the level of integration of the information being processed, in the case of animals by their brains. With this perspective in mind, we didn't got here because of consciousness or despite having it, it was a mere byproduct of our brain information's flow, other animals also have it, althought differently. Also, considering our History, as presented in his books, and giving as a fact that there is no free will and things are either random or deterministic, it's possible then to conclude that consciousness had no role whatsoever in our early History and only with the advent of Humanism and the political and economical organizations based on humans experiences (which are on themselves unconscious algorithms) that it was put into the equation, but not as an individual trait, but as a variable to an external algorithm. Alternatively, it's possible also to see Sapiens as the first to cross a threshold Phi (measure of information integration according to the theory) that opened way for "being conscious of its own counsciousness" and as such to the cognitive revolution.

    Consciousness is required to make conscious decisions. If there were no consciousness a stimulus of fear would always resolve in flight respond (unless there is other more powerful stimulus). Consciousness allows us to make decisions despite our gut feeling. The evolutionary advantage of such adaptation is a variety of responses, semi-random from an ecosystem's point of view. This variety grants a specie an ability to explore different kinds of behaviour in response to the same stimulus which works as hedging against falling in the same evolutionary trap as an entire population. Which allowed, for example 75% of humans to run from a predator and 25% to try fighting it despite experiencing fear. Consciousness is a way of unaware self-design for a specie.

    The simplest explanation I've heard is that consciousness is what goes away when you sleep and comes back when you wake up again. It is your awareness of yourself and the world around you. It is separate from knowledge (babies are uneducated but still conscious) and intelligence (people with extremely low IQs are still conscious). It can be taken away with anesthetics (during surgery for example), enhanced with psychoactive drugs (like LSD or antidepressants), or manipulated with electrical or electromagnetic devices (electroconvulsive therapy for mental disorders, or remote controlled cockroaches).

    Human nature is not constant. It follows that permanent solutions should be impossible to work out, for the future. Thus, I think plastic direct democracy might be the path to head down, rather than "representative politics" a.k.a "incompetent greed based representation" in my world. I am a member of Sweden's (3 parties merged into one some years back) direct democratic party.

    At about 31:30, 'technology is outpacing politics' ... by implication, is 'technology is outpacing morality, intelligence outpacing consciousness'. He verifies that at about 40:13 … ‘I think that in many cases, the problems are not technical at all. The major of problems are political, and legal … it’s not just an issue for engineers … the really interesting issues relate to legal issues, and legal issues of course, relate back to politics and ethics ... to morality’. I would rephrase ‘really interesting issues’ to ‘the most salient issues’. I could not help but to remember that gift from Fukushima that keeps on giving … how even the Japanese government has been forced to admit that the nuclear meltdown is now acknowledged to be caused by ‘human error’ ... and when parsed, those errors were moral lapses in group dynamics ... authoritarianism and territorial issues within and between competing bureaucracies. This seems to be less a problem of Japan Inc. and more an issue of inevitably with our species when cognitevely 'and therefore, morally) limited humans are involved with problems of scale. Despite any attempt at a foolproof system with multiple, redundant fail-safe mechanisms, I suspect complexity is only sustainable when it is an organic, emergent phenomenon such as ecosystems. www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/17/japanese-government-liable-negligence-fukushima-daiichi-nuclear-disaster This speech / Q & A was made in 2016, and my comment is now almost 2 years later. Verification of his point regarding where the ‘interesting’ problems arise can be seen regarding the unpredictability of the political landscape. With the stroke of an autocratic pen, a secret trade agreement is broken or made, and years of legal progress overturned for nepotistic, narcissistic, or psychopathic purposes. I hope I am mistaken, but I can only see one inevitable future of humanity, and it is not very optimistic.

    Idealistically, but things still fail inside a car for no reason and sometimes an accident is inevitable. Maybe given the mass adoption of these autonomous cars would make the roads less accessible for human drivers such as traffic lights and a few other things might be removed and instead invest in improving the road design and safety to ensure something going wrong causes as little damage as possible. Like removing the need for a zebra crossing in a really busy intersection and creating walk bridges on top of them easily accessible by anyone. Such an investment could reduce the overall loss of life if something were to go wrong.

Maybe the oceans will rise by the end of 30 years and cause more problems by wiping out a portion of the population! And we will have jobs to repair our earth! Another solution would be giving up consumer mindset and inculcate a producer mindset- in other words get back to farming your own food. Because everything we do is for food. But the real question is, are we humans capable of giving up tech and get back to being producers (earth will surely appreciate if we go backward and become early man again)

    As long as we have competitions between companies and between nations, we will never see the day of working 2 or 3 days a week: greed for more (more means higher chance of survival) drives individuals in seeking more productive employees and better capitals because efficiency is the main factor differentiating between company`s competitive edge. Even citizens in the most richest and advanced country needs to work longer hours because of scarcity of resources in planet Earth couplet with the ever increasing world`s population fighting for ever fewer spaces of land available to build ever more inflated pricing of houses. Solution: One World Government - better at managing limited resources to produces the most useful item to be consumed by world`s citizens who don`t need to work long hours to access the basic goods and services. - One way for individual to access better goods and service is accumulation of `Individual Credit Point` (no criminal records, positive contributions to society, adds values to humankind, volunteer, taking more courses of continuing-educations, willing to study difficult subjects in higher learning, saving lives, etc.) and this system will replaces monetary currency.

    As far as my intuition can tell me, it seems to be the case that intelligence is the biproduct of conciousness and not the other way around. I think trying to understand this by analizing humans is way too difficult. But if we analize let's say an amoeba or any basic organism what we will find there is their will to survive and reproduct. For that purpose they use its DNA code, as well as their feels (through cellular membrane etc). And their primitive AI is their weapon to acomplish it. In case of human, our porpose as well as our AI tools are much more complex but it is basically the same as in the amoeba. That's is why AI like Watson or their future predecsors will never get conciousness (unless they become something very different) because they are just the tool but without nothing that really make use of it, because they lack of even the most basic purpose of self survival.

AI will be used for that and much more we only have to figure out how, thats what scare me, humans dont do well with this decisions bcuz we always need to try the worst option (the one we do less and get more) before we do the right one for all of us. Human mind will be the commodity in next generations and if you dont have the best one you can always be the father of one.

    There are two kinds of wisdom. The one that the world has to offer. And the one wisdom that only God our Heavenly father and creator of ALL things has to offer. This speaker Is Not offering Gods wisdom. He is offering knowledge that sounds very interesting and appealing. But the result of his futuristic assesmenrs will bring sadness, pain, destruction and chaos to humanity...., For those who are not familiar with what God left for us in writing . to be on the lookout for all this things. And that is The Bible.. I encourage everyone to open and fill yourselves with his wisdom the wisdom that God has to offer.. And see for yourselves if you think the same about this speaker.

    As others have said, he is brilliant. Yet, in my opinion, he is wrong in regard to consciousness. He buys into the hypothesis that consciousness does not derive from brain. Perhaps he should have sat with me when treating people for brain death. I can guarantee you that their consciousness went away also. Humans have long preferred the hypothesis of a spirit or soul that exists beyond our physical selves. Okay, I get the attraction. However, that doesn't make it so. If we hypothesize that consciousness derives from something other than brain (as one member of the audience clearly believed) then there must be some form of process ("mechanics") whereby that consciousness operates. Even more, there must be some way for that consciousness to interact with the physical brain so that real-world effects (such as thought) may derive from that external consciousness. The problem is, there is no evidence for either of these things - an external mechanics, nor a bridge between those hypothesized mechanics and the real brain. Here's an alternative. Consciousness is really not all that difficult. Nervous systems developed in evolution as ways to orchestrate organism response to environmental circumstance. As organisms became more physiologically complex a method for orchestrating the whole organism to consistent response was required. We now call those emotions - unifying physiological states aimed at response to varied environmental circumstances. Early versions were fear and aggression (later "fight or flight" via Cannon and Selye). Then, organisms needed to move beyond stimulus-response to "possible stimulus - possible responses". This founded imagination, creative responses and later creativity in its own right. Then, all of this became personalized via another set of neurons devoted to evolving socialization and the tension between self-other dilemmas. Eventually this set of neurons has come to be the basis of what we now call "consciousness", issues of "self", and the realms of imagination/creativity. It is not all that difficult; and, it is all explainable neuronally. There is proof for a brain and for loss of behavior when the brain is dead. There is no proof for the imagined extensions (rather, there are only libraries full of evidence that we do create fictions). Cheers

    Further research indeed. I would argue that consciousness is not just a place where further research is required, but the next and perhaps final great undiscovered country of science, akin to the revolutions in physics and biology but of much greater import because it directly concerns our innermost well-being. As David Chalmers says, if you don't have a theory of consciousness, you don't have a unified theory of science.

    Some problems with all this thinking: 1. Very poor definition of consciousness. So, arrogant and arbitrary to claim it is so much different than intelligence as it is to say , that's the same as intelligence. We simply don't know. And we haven't yet provided our "intelligent machines" with any semblance of our sensory organs. So, too early and too immature to make such aphorisms.. 2.That humans will become useless, because "machines" will be able to do everything better than us. This illusion is because we deified our economic systems, and forgot that there's value in the anthropocentric view. To me someone that is so fanatic a supporter of an economic system, that sees humans as useless, because they can't support the economic model better than the machines,is the same as a Muslim that can't live with the idea other people don't believe in his/her Allah , and gets into the store and murders people. 3. Beware ! Let me make my own arrogant and arbitrary assumptions and definitions. There's intelligence in the making of science and technology and there's wisdom in the using it properly. Reaching at a dead end because we can't imagine humans supporting the economy better than the mechanical alternative is not only hilarious but tragic as well, and shows how sick we are in supporting an idea, our economic religion. I am sure societies can work perfectly well, by employing everyone, by putting a control to birth rates, by using the machines supporting the logistics of all this, and by paying everyone, not because of charity but because they work. In general the motive would be to make humans happy ,not making our spreadsheets happy. 4. Plus, making "conscious" machines(I would prefer human level intelligence), is not creating slaves to serve our sick ambitions better , but it is creating sentient entities, either the same or more intelligent and more conscious than us. So, those who dream of world domination by bypassing human slavery and using "mechanical unconscious slaves" instead, because it is outside our humanistic and religious bans, better think again. Developing intelligence that will be the same or higher level than ours , will not have "machines" only revolt but at best they will put all those morons to mental institutions or at worst they will put them at trial for crimes against sentient life. How do you like all this , you phony intellectuals?
