Key Ideas from the talk. 3:08 Most important things to emphasize in education are Emotional intelligence and mental stability. 3:30 Kids need to reinvent themselves repeatedly because of rapid change. 4:15 Build identities like tents. 5:32 The old political and economic models assume that ultimate authority is the free choice of individuals. 6:58 Free will is not a scientific reality. 9:10 Govts and Corporations will have privileged access to your brain. They can understand you better than you. 11:30 Humans will no longer be black boxes. 12:25 AI becomes revolutionary only with the help of AI 15:02 Technology isn't deterministic 18:50 Religions and God 21:45 Religion vs. spirituality (Religion is about definite answers. Spirituality is a quest for questions.) 23:00 Engineers are forced to think about philosophy 26:42 The role of fiction in organizing ourselves. (Even economies and corporations are basically a story) 30:30 Reality exists. If an entity can suffer then it is real. 33:00 Fiction doesn't mean it's bad or unimportant 34:30 Exciting ree news model creates fake news.

Spirituality, psychedelics are about inner peace, self growth... Religion gives "answers" only if you believe it. He thinks he sounds smart but it's BS.
Shared goals is what makes us human --- be it family, nation, religion, cooperations etc .... even music and culture !

You are so clever. How to do it?
So I finished his new book day before yesterday. I think it is his best work because he is most objective in this book. Also instead of simply painting the world, he really gives reason for a global uprising. More people, influencers, common men and leaders should read this book. I understand it will challenge people but come on, man - its absolutely essential and 100% true. I agree with almost all of the matter and don't recall anything I did not agree with.

He is so good and inspirational about the hackable animals thing. I really look up to him as a great animal hacking role model.
Thank you for the the amazing people involved in the creation of this event. thank you for your work in spreading talks like this.
I like the clarity with which he sees and expresses different topics and how he uncovers connections that previously might have seemed "strange" or "shrouded".

@REAL FICTIONS 30:00 The context here is little different. How to distinguish a real story from a fictional story. So, Google is a fiction, but those people who created Google and those who are running it are real. Similarly about "Nations" and "Currencies".

I would say that it might be an admirable moral viewpoint but is it really true? What about a Boulder? Does a Boulder suffer? or a Table or a Building? These do not technically suffer but I think we can agree that they are in fact real.
Harari's talks have shifted more in emphasis recently to the importance of developing mental stability, empathy and compassion as an antidote to the challenges facing the world. As a meditator for 20 years and a historian, he is simultaneously aware of the ghastly cruelty and ignorance displayed by humans in the past and the extreme danger of combining our fearful primordial reptilian and mammalian brains with the power of technology. I think he truly believes that developing the mind and learning to know who we really are is the only way we might avoid the grim future he otherwise foresees for us. As he says, "If we all knew ourselves, we would be living in a very different world." As a long-term meditator and amateur historian myself, I completely agree with him.

@Emerald M You speak a lot of sense. But as long as there are religions that emphasise that you must convert to get married,or to be employed etc, there will be grouping. In that sense, Buddhism does not demand that one should convert and give up one's way of life to be a Buddhist. Many wars were started because certain religions, mainly monotheist religions demanded that every one should follow theirs.

It would be nice if cognitive neurological science have progressed a bit more and they than make an app to warn us when big biotech or big infotech tries to fuck us up by hacking into our brains and bodies and hijacking our deep basic cognitive mechanisms.

This guy is an absolute charm to listen to. Despite his sombre outlook on possible futures, he is so earnest, frank and forthcoming that listening to him is really quite beautiful
I am currently reading this marvelous, neatly-written book 📚 very very enjoyable 🧡💚💜
Amazing talk, I like the way he clearly states the reasoning behind the idea/innovation and what those are making into use for
Smart guy!! Great contribution to the world's knowledge
A great thinker,philosopher and author!
It's been like tenth time I am watching his one hour long talk and every time I found something new and I always felt like worth watching, He is my favorite author maybe the things I am writing is monitored by Google and it will use it when I grow up to target certain product but I don't get bothered by it, I assume it's the human situation and we would always face difficulties, uncertainty and most likely death in our life-time and our consciousness would get lost and from that time nothing would matter to us and everything is illusion and Human pleasures are really very good.
One of the best thinkers of our time.
If you want to know yourself, develop a meditation practice so that you stay aware of your thoughts and emotion and don`t get swept away as strongly by your desires, jealousy, hate, etc. Develop compassion for yourself and extend it to others. We have to start with ourselves. More people like Yuval Noah!
Last answer from Yuval is absolutely great!!! This guy is just awesome!!
"We don't know what we will teach our children in the future". A wise parent always knows that teaching a child GOOD AWARENESS is one of the most important things, so we as humans can look and see, listen and hear, touch and feel, and think to understand. So many years of schooling by a system and kids remember nearly nothing. Doctors, lawyers, bureaucrats, and more - are like robots following algorithms, programs, and directives.
For everyone interested in the subject, at 49:09 the subtitles say "passive meditation". The correct expression is "Vipassana meditation", which is a particular form of meditation.

Big respect for the host. He made Harari think and this interview is much more than 21 lessons in short. More big questions and conclusions.
Harari: "Google Will hack us". Interviewer: "Yeah, but you gave us permission". Harari: "No, we didn't". Well, that backfired. Gotta love this guy.
Such an amazing man and professional. His studies and elucidations buid bridges to very technical predictional understandings that open a 360° eye. Congratulations for your work Yuval. It's always a pleasure to access the scientific knowledge that you've been developing.
A talk fueled with honesty.
Some very powerful ideas. Love how Yuval speaks the same whether he is at Google or elsewhere. He thinks what he thinks. Also, the interviewed did a great job.

I'm fond of his book sapiens. I had never read history from such perspective. This guy has dug it completely deep
The greatest tools to reinvent yourself in a fast-faced human life are emotional intelligence and mental stability. Thanks Professor Harari for saying it out loud. It cannot be said enough.
I use Harari in my teaching as he is thought provoking and gets you to think to try and become = more aware and knowledgable about the WHY - WHAT - HOW - WHERE - WHEN in our lives. We must understand that this planet is fragile.
I came across Yuval a few years ago & watched couple of videos, but this lecture blew my mind 🤯 Amazing human at all possible levels 👌
' History is the study of Change ' , Outstanding interview, thank you.
Harari's views and research are astounding. I could listen to him speak for hours. The interviewer was also very good at managing the conversation.
This is pure gold: “There are many kinds of Gods. People usually have two very different Gods in mind when they say the word ‘God’. One God is the cosmic mystery. We don’t understand why there is something rather than nothing, why the Big Bang happened, what human consciousness is. There are many things we don’t understand about the world and some people choose to call these mysteries by the name “God’. God is the reason there is something rather than nothing. God is behind human consciousness. The most characteristic thing about this God is we know absolutely nothing about him / her / it / they. There is nothing concrete. It’s a mystery. This is the God we talk about late at night in the desert as we sit around the camp fire and think about the meaning of life. That’s one meaning of God. I have no problem with this version of God, in fact I like it very much. Then there is another God which is the petty law giver. The characteristic of this God is we know a lot of concrete things about that God. We know what he thinks about female dress code, we know what he think about sexuality, we know what he feels about food, about politics. This is the God people talk about when they stand around while burning a heretic. We will burn you because you did something that God doesn’t like. It’s like a magic trick. How do you know God exists? Well, the Big Bang and human consciousness and science can’t explain this and that, and then like a magician swapping one card for another, they will take out the mystery God and replace it with the petty law giver and you end up with something strange like because we don’t understand the Big Bang, women must dress with long sleeves and men shouldn’t have sex together. What’s the connection? How did you get from here to there?” Yuval Noah Harari

There is a third type of God. A God who purposefully created the entire cosmic reality and who, at the same time, loves each person with the immense affection of a Father, even those who do not believe in it. A God who is an unfathomable mystery and who, at the same time, presents himself to each person through his conscience and invites each one to approach him in his intimacy. A God who overcame the apparent barrier between the immensity of the universe and the insignificance of the human being, becoming a man, living among us, showing the size of our dignity, but also caring about our pain, suffering and mistakes, and showing that our pains and our mistakes are not the definitive answer about us, because he conquered suffering and death by being a sufferer himself, by giving himself for us out of love and then resurrecting. This is the Christian God: neither a cosmic gambler nor a ruthless judge.

gokul raja You and S.A. both seem to have not grasped the text meaning. Otherwise you would not say that. Aren't there the Vedas? Don't they tell you what to do? Don't the Brahmin interpret your religion? What Mr. Harari is saying is: Science cannot prove something therefore it is magic, therefore it is God. = Good way to use God. VS. Text/Priest/Dogma has an opinion about what you should and should not do and says that it is mythical/sacred/blasphemous/god's will etc. = Bad way to use God. You should not cultivate your body because the Vedas say it is a good thing to do. You should do it because you understand the benefits for you or in other cases for your environment. Same for Islam, it might say that God is unknowable, but then presumptuously implements religious taboos. In the same sentence saying we cannot understand God, but this is what he says and wants you to do...

A truly inspirational human, and a pleasure reading his works so far
This interviewer, whose questions where precisely intervened, is the best I have ever listened to 💜 He kept focused to Dr. Yuval 🍏 Which is rarely seen these days in many discussions 👍🏻
His advice for Google at the end is brilliant. Imagine paying a small monthly fee for a service that could help you save money by showing fewer tempting ads, or keep track of a persons mood and contact therapists or relatives if an individual is depressed or considering suicide. It could do all sorts of things, for example give you science-based diet and health tips based on your habits, come up with various relevant predictions, etc. The opportunities are endless. And there'd be a market for it as well (in the future).
so much respect to Mr. Harari, i can listen to his talks all day long!
This talk was one of the best that I already heard in all my life
Yuvali, you are probably the human that I love and admire the most in the whole world! You are also probably the most intelligent of all humans I ever met...
Harari's reading method: reading many books, just a few pages, grasping what is new. No need to read a hundred pages. He is thinker which insights are just surprising.
Great talk! Very deep in thoughts! Awesome 👏
The greatest question I've ever noticed. "What should we teach our kids" by Yuval Noah Harari.
This man is a man of wonder. His ideas are revolutionary and simple to understand ...
Really a mind blowing session, shed light on various aspects of technology and human mind and civilization. Worth listening 👍
Brilliant! I’m comforted to know others have this awareness and understanding. Yuval’s books should be read and discussed worldwide and as part of all high school and higher education curriculum. Thanks 🙏

I have read Homo sapiens. It is intriguing book and I have learnt a lot. Although I didn’t agree with some contents of the book, it captivated me like no other one. Looking forward to read the other books of the writer.
I cannot get enough of his talks or his books, fascinating guy
Thank you very much Yuval. The world is for all, share it appropriately.
Thank you Yuval Noah Harari for your dedication to educate everyone and for sharing all your thoughts.
Read all three books of Mr. Harari. They confirmed my perceptions, predictions, experiences and concerns. Must read all his books.
Yuval is beyond any IQ score. Absolute genius!
very very true words about compassion ❤️

I've read all of his books, but Homo Deus has changed my life. Do you know when you really want something but you don't know what it is? That's exactly what happened to me when I read that. When it comes to knowledge, history and improving the way I see the world, this book was everything I could ever crave for.

Harari begins "21 Lessons for 21st. Century" with a call for clarity in a world deluged by irrelevant information. No one can provide this clarity as effectively as Harari. For this reason I have given this book to all my children and have recommended it to my friends. Read it, reflect on it, to help you explore what you can (and must) do to build a sustainable and humane future for all persons.

Did you note the question from the anchor at the very beginning about the book about afterlife? That's where it is heading. That's what it enhances. Humanbeings had free will as the fundamental and this is now under attack from such crack head knowledge gamers.
I really liked the question of the girl asking about the art of thinking and knowing oneself better, using intellect. The answer was: There are many ways to understand yourself other than using intellect. But I think those are the ways or experiments (such as Poem, Travelling, etc) and the underpinning thing is the human consciousness through which we analyze ourselves. And again it evolves as our brain develops.
One of our most enigmatic, zen-like thinkers, Yogi Berra once said, "the hardest thing to predict is the furure". It's true.
I am so happy that I have encountered you in this chaotic reality. Thank you!
This was truly a great talk. Thank you google and Yuval Harari
This should be watch in every school now in every country. We have a huge challenge as a whole.
I like the fact that he doesn't hesitate a second to roast Google on Talks at Google. He's a legend.
Yuval has “hit the pin on the head” as usual. More people need to meditate daily and just engage their brains and switch off outside inputs for a couple of hours a day. Meditation should be taught in schools from an early age along with critical thinking. In the West, this is often NOT begun until undergraduate studies begin at age 18. FAR TOO LATE ! !
This guy is simply awesome!
Yuval's distinction of the two different perception of God is so accurate...
My deepest respect!!! My next book is obviously ...looking forward
This is amazing ❤❤👏👏
Genial... una hora de enteder el presente y proyectar el futuro.

I truthfully believe that the great value of this man's job is that the outcomes presents us possibilities of our future. We are able to see, clarifying ourselves if it's consistent, reliable and solid bases job - if his comceptions really worth - and decide by ourselves the direction to go - the one we believe that is right. Congratulations Mr. Harari. You must be listened.
I loved the ending. Very bright and broad intellect this man.
In order for lawyers to position themselves as industry thought leaders, they need to create compelling content. Storytelling is an excellent way to accomplish this. People relate to stories. They see bits of themselves in your the characters and story arch. They associate the antagonist and conflict with the problems in their own lives and they share in the joy and reward when the main characters finally achieve their goals.
BRILLIANT, thank you so much!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
