While I agree with him on the fiction of religious scripture, I do not agree with him that there is no higher purpose or that objective reality cannot be shaped by our own ideas. I think there are plenty of great non-religious books out there we can teach to students that do not have this same type of toxic nihilism that so many post-modernists spew today.

He has an Israeli accent. In English you sa: Chim-pan-zee In Hebrew we say: Shim-pan-zah So it's basically a mix of both: Shim-pan-zee with a bit of a duplication of the zed at the end for the plural sense (in contrast with a regular s used in English). Notice also his stress on the first and second last syllable.

I was told by a teacher that a good book takes your hand walks you through a path that you inevitably fall in love with, regardless of how much you know or agree with the content ; his books do so in such an organic way that is hard to stop reading, and even when you do is hard to stop thinking of it. I'm not a book lover but I absolutely admire his writing. Simple and creative.. A true pleasure to read.

And he will continue to live there. But if you are a human you think of your marriage and you wana go back, you will think of your job, you want live in the reality you created, thats what people do. If you are lucky you may find some woman and live there to procreate and live but still you will go on creating systems that are fictions. Thats what makes us human. If you live in the moment everything stops. It takes a huge thought to reach this, its called meditation. Thats why governments tend to fail.

@@nestoreleuteriopaivabendo5415 I am a fallibile Human not a Animal. "The Devil has little trouble with those who do not believe in him they are already on him side" Gates Whiteley quoted - "Any reader of the OT will find that God did intervene often in the affairs of mankind. He rescued his people - The Jews - only to have them turn their backs on him at the earliest sign of trouble. Impatient, they could not even wait for Moses to come off the mountain. Any reader of the NT will find that God intervened in the most effective, dramatic and visible way by sending Jesus to earth. God became man and lived with him. The world has never been the same. God has proven again and again that he is patient, long suffering and desirous of man’s turning to him. He has shown how this turning can be done. Ask any Christian if you don’t know how to turn away from the evil God abhors. Why evil? A clue is given above by the commentator who pointed out God is not a baby sitter nor is he Santa Claus, for that matter. Evil exists to show the delight God and his created man may find in the alternatives to evil. It would be impossible to love what is good unless one knew the difference between good and evil. It would be impossible to love evil unless one knew the difference between evil and good. And it often comes down to choices made by man. It is never God’s will that man do evil. But he has given man the will to choose. Choices have consequences, as most of us know from life experiences. Evil is a necessary tool. It can be used or rejected by man. Evil is almost like a parasite, requiring good to feed upon. In this analogy, it may be said that evil could not exist without good. And therefore exists because of the good. Finally, over millennia, it is possible to note that good has triumphed. Nothing lasts forever. Evil is eventually defeated, everywhere."

Heard an Excellent speech in a long long time….

If human beings are cooperating on the basis of a fictional reality, this fictional reality is helpful in creating peace, as per Yuval Noah Harari. My question is that How does an individual or a group of individuals create a fictional reality that is effective in establishing peace and creating norms that are acceptable to all human beings? As we know, the Constitutions of each and every country have been created by the intelligentsia of those countries to establish peace in society, but in spite of this, they are not very effective and have been amended multiple times.

I've read his book and it was absolutely brilliant. If you enjoyed this talk, you would definitely enjoy "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind".

Excellent talk.

Watching it in Lahore, Pakistan while reading Sapiens

Amazing stuff. Thank you

Interesting thesis, well argued, but also highly contestable! His view can be pushed back against on multiple fronts. Three that jump to my mind: 1. Why is it *one thing*- creativity- that makes humans distinct, rather than a family of things? What exactly is this “creativity” trait that he speaks of? 2. If creativity is just defined as believing fictions, then naturally the next question is how do you define a fiction? A stoplight doesn’t exist in “nature”, yet in human society it seems to be *true* that a red light means stop. It would be strange to call that a “fiction”, at least in ordinary language. One could deny, therefore that social constructs- like money, countries, and stoplights- therefore are “fictional” in the most useful sense. 3. To what degree do humans really “run the world”? Even if it’s true that humans in the past were able to cooperate at relatively large scales without chaos (which I’m not sure is really fair to say), it seems highly doubtful this applies at the global level. Human systems and societies at that scale seem to be hardly less chaotic (think wars, climate change, environmental destruction, mass starvation, etc), and certainly more harmful, than a Wembley Stadium full of gorillas. While this isn’t evidence that humans can’t cooperate flexibly in *greater* numbers than other animals, it also suggests there may be a limit to our ability to do so. This should check the hubris his thesis otherwise might invite.

Good points and perspectives. I think everyone posting raving comments about Harari should read "Mother's and Other's" by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, for a much more substantiated, thoughtfully written and scientifically informed description of human evolution, particularly in regards to human sociability/cooperation, which centers female socialization and alloparental care. Another good book, which addresses much of your point 2 is Ian McGilchrest's "The Master and his emissary", which is ostensibly about the human brain, but synthesizes a lot of information from neuro-science and psychology, as well as anthropology, linguistics, evolutionary biology, and sociology/cultural evolution.

This is the talk in TED I have listened to for my first time. I was just impressed.

I love his books. This man is a legend. I would die for a chitchat with him. Asking him questions like: "Do you think modern humans behave worse than their ancestors? In what ways did our behavior change over time? How do you think it is possible that humans keep on destroying the environment although they know it is the worst thing they could do - at the end- to themselves? How can we act blindly whilst knowing we inevitable will destroy ourselves..." As a teacher, I really think his books should be an option in a lot of subjects.

To answer your questions (these are discussed in the Sapiens too), 1) & 3) Our ancestors or the humans after the cognitive revolution started migrating to the American and Oceanic (Australia and New Zealand) continents. The moment they set foot in Australia, they, within a couple centuries or so, destroyed 80% of the mega-fauna. Once these people settled there and became the natives and Europeans after millennia rediscovered these continents, they massacred these people (Aztecs, Incas in America, and the Aboriginals in Australia). So, to sum up, we have been this destructive since our origin. If anything, today's Sapiens are much less destructive. Ethnic cleansing and direct destruction of natural ecosystems were normal for our ancestors.

From the book … Canadian History for Dummies … author … Will Ferguson Playing-card money Imagine going in to work one day to pick up your pay cheque and having your boss flash you a nervous smile as he fans out a deck and says, “Pick a card, any card.” Well, that’s more or less what happened in New France when the governor ran out of money to pay the wages of soldiers stationed in Québec. Facing a near mutiny, the governor’s intendant began issuing playing cards instead of currency. He cut each card into four, penned in an amount on the back, and attached his personal seal. The cards were used like regular currency and then exchanged for real money once the supply ships from France arrived. At one point, more than two million livres of cardboard notes were in circulation (the livre being the standard currency in New France). This, in turn, caused runaway inflation in the colony. The Crown solved the problem by redeeming the notes - but at only half their face value.

One thing that has not been said is that it is not enough just to be cooperative, another great advantage of humans over other animals is precisely our diversity. While animals, within a species, have all the same abilities, we have a great diversity of abilities, each individual with his particular one. And that's the great advantage, groups of individuals can go deeper into their specialties, improving processes rather than being all "generalists" with little depth in each specialty.

Sounds very peaceful

I love it, thanks for your sharing! See more from ai openknowledges!!!

The storytellers amongst us control the world. Of course, each of us is free to tell stories.

Most of lectures in ted is difficult that use words and speeches speed, but Harari uses easy words and explains to us! Although I’m a Korean I always appreciates for him thanks harari!

Progress makes people Happpy? YES. Progress makes people happy because it's a process in which people successively work in solving the problems of the community and when they finally solve them another ones are faced. This process gives happiness in three ways: 1-Working to solve community problems it's a good way (not the only one of course) to give people a worthy goal to work for. Having a worthy goal to work for makes people life more meaningful and that makes them happier. This point only benefits atheists because believers already have a meaningful life and they are happy with it. 2-When the people who were working solving the community problem finally solve it, they experiment satisfactorial feelings that make them happy. This point benefits both atheists and believers. 3-When the community problem is solved, the life conditions of the community improve and that makes all its members to be happier. This point benefits both atheists and believers. Apart from providing happiness, working for a worthy goal keeps the mind busy, this way, one doesn't have time to think that we ignore the meaning of all that exists (worthy goals and human life included). Maybe this doesn't grant happiness but at least helps keeping depression at bay. Once again, this point only benefits atheists because believers already know the meaning of existence itself and that makes them happy. It's important to realize atheists need more than beleievers the existance of PROGRESS to be happy but when PROGRESS is achieved both believers and atheists reach the same level of happiness. Maybe that's why in the periods of History which ahteists have been more numerous, the PROGRESS of Humanity has been greater and in the periods wich believers have been majority PROGRESS has been slower. What makes PROGRESS even greater it's the fact that never stops. It's an INFINITE SOURCE OF HAPPINESS.

Wow. Now that's called a life changing thought.

Talks like this is why I subscribed to Ted. I have been wondering about his last point for a while now. As automation and computers replace lower skilled work, the supply of "low skilled" workers will become proportionally greater and greater as demand for basic human skills dwindles. This means lower and lower pay for more and more people who by no fault of their own are not born with a high IQ. As automation and computers get smarter and smarter, humans by comparison get dumber and dumber. It's already happening now and I'm not sure how society is going to deal with it.

It was too important to me reading his book. He summarizes and explains clearly and very objectively many "isolated" thoughts I've had in my life. What he says makes perfect sense. My way of seeing the world is the same as his. Harari is very intelligent and eloquent. His writing is easy to be readen, no complicated words and setences. Everyone can and should read it. I also really appreciate in his book that althought it is about humans, he is not antropocentric at all. I also love the fact that he's vegan and atheist

So, the conclusion is that we can imagine a better world, and implement those ideas that will make a better objective reality.
