@YuvalNoahHarari is considered one of the most influential and renowned thinkers of the 21st century for his ability to articulate complex concepts and naturally address transcendental issues, making him one of the most prominent intellectuals of our era. His unique approach, which blends history, philosophy, and ethics with scientific inquiry, is reflected in compelling prose that challenges traditional narratives and raises profound questions about human nature, evolution, and the future of our species. Harari has been the subject of intellectual debates around the world causing significant rethinking in our society. For the historian, it is decisive to continue training and adapting to changes because the only certainty regarding the future is that there will be more and more changes, bigger and faster: “The most important aptitude is to have an open mind and be able to reinvent yourself over and over again throughout life. The key to adapting to the new world is to forget what you think you know and say 'I don't know'.
With a "realistic" smile, in this video, he reminds us of the importance of existential reflection in our daily lives, where time is increasingly perceived as something more scarce and valuable, and it is essential that we take that time to be aware of the consequences of our actions and decisions, both individually and collectively. A gesture that recognizes both our power as human beings to make decisions and act, as well as our responsibility to do so ethically, taking into account cooperation as a crucial part of this change. It will only be through cooperation and teamwork that we can overcome the divisions and conflicts that separate us and move towards a more inclusive and sustainable future for all: “We made the world what it is and therefore we can change it if we change history and cooperate. We face great challenges but we still have a lot of power to face them and it is our responsibility to stop us from doing stupid things. You have to be realistic and do something about it.”
Acclaimed with numerous awards and recognitions for his values in lectures and classes as a teacher, as well as for his work as a historian and writer, including the Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Field of the Humanities (2012) and the International Peace Prize of Catalonia (2019), Harari combines his interest in history with an open-mindedness to understand the complexity of the human condition and explore the mystery of our existence. His trilogy 'Sapiens', 'Homo Deus' and '21 Lessons of the 21st Century', as well as his latest book for young people, 'Unstoppable', have a significant impact on the field of history and human thought, and continue to be among the best-selling books in the world.
