Prof. Yuval Noah Harari (@harari_yuval) is a historian and bestselling author who is considered one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals today. His popular books-Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century- have sold 27.5 million copies in 60 languages. They have been recommended by Barack Obama, Chris Evans, Janelle Monáe, Bill Gates, and many others. The Guardian has credited Sapiens with revolutionizing the nonfiction market and popularizing “brainy books.”
He is also behind Sapiens: A Graphic History, a new graphic novel series in collaboration with comics artists David Vandermeulen (co-writer) and Daniel Casanave (illustrator). This beautifully illustrated series is a radical reworking of his book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. The series will be published in four volumes starting in fall 2020 with Volume 1, The Birth of Humankind, which is out now.

    Tim, I don’t understand why you don’t video tape these incredible conversations. The audio is great, but actually seeing your guests would make all the difference in the world. In fact I think video taping is one of the reasons Joe Rogan is so popular, without which I don’t think his podcast would be what it is.

    I read his book "Sapiens". In that book he panders to wealth and empire without balancing the alleged "gains" created by civilization with climate change. This is what I mean by pandering. He knew about climate change and it's perpetrators when he wrote the book, but he never draws the connection between the greed of our "leaders" and the climate destruction they've wrought. Poor people don't set policy so the entire weight of the blame for climate destruction falls on those who've taken it upon themselves to lead us to destruction. THAT is a message that doesn't pander to rich people as Yuval does. But of course if he'd said that truth... his book would never have found a publisher. He argues that empire and the abuses it creates is worthwhile because it "unifies" humanity. But he simply assumes that this unity is a objective good. We can easily see that it is not simply from all the ills that beset us because we've filtered the wills of billions of people into the hands of a very few.

    Tim, why haven't you interviewed Arthur Joseph yet? He's one of my models, and I think unique in what he does, which is to teach people how to be themselves by instructing them on how to tap into the power of their own voice, their true voice. Surely you've heard of him - he trained famous people such as Tony Robbins and Angelina Jolie, besides senators, top athletes, etc. I think you should absolutely reach out to him, and you'll see how significant his message is and how well he is able to convey it.

    Does Yuval live on a moshav, or is this just another example of the Wikipedia echo effect? [06:34] Yuval practices vipassana meditation for two hours every day and takes an annual meditation retreat for a month or two. But how did this dedication to the practice begin? [07:39] Six months after this first experience with vipassana meditation, what changed for Yuval? [12:21] How did Sapiens evolve from Yuval’s history lectures at Hebrew University to a sleepy Amazon self-publication of 2,000 to a worldwide sensation published in 60 languages to an audience of over 20 million (and counting)? [14:45] What are the advantages to developing a book from lecture notes (as Peter Thiel and Blake Masters also did for Zero to One)? [18:53] How did Yuval come to be so cognizant of suffering, and in what ways does he see it fitting into the larger picture of human history? [21:16] On the test of suffering as a way to sort the real from the imaginary stories we collectively tell ourselves. [26:15] Why money, from antiquity to the modern day, is really a story about trust. [31:20] In what ways has life changed for Yuval since his unexpected elevation to fame as a bestselling author, and how does it compare to what it might have been like if he’d remained an obscure medieval history professor? [35:40] If Yuval were superhuman, what would be his superpower - and why? [38:57] What kind of advice can Yuval’s close friends rely on him to give? [41:23] What would Yuval’s friends say is his superpower? [43:27] How does Yuval relate to happiness and how it contrasts with suffering and misery? [44:46] Has Yuval made any decisions or adopted any frameworks that have helped him preserve some modicum of personal space and privacy? [47:15] Thinkers and writers from history who have influenced Yuval. [51:01] Why art moves us most when it expresses externally the inner feelings and thoughts for which we have no vocabulary - and should serve as a reminder that it’s unfair to expect others to understand us fully when we don’t necessarily understand ourselves fully. [52:41] On Brave New World, 1984, and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as philosophy, and how Yuval listens to audiobooks while swimming. [55:42] Is Black Mirror philosophy or prophecy? [1:02:23] Why Yuval thinks the movie Her raises more interesting philosophical questions about the future of AI than, say, The Terminator. [1:04:05] Does Yuval think we’re close to the point where AI will demonstrate the difficulties posed by the word “understand” and the concept of understanding? [1:08:06] How and why did Yuval decide to take Sapiens into the realm of the graphic novel with Sapiens: A Graphic History, and how has it allowed him and his co-conspirators (David Vandermeulen, and Daniel Casanave) to rethink and teach history in an unconventional way? [1:10:40] How did Yuval and his team balance scientific objectivity with political correctness when bringing Sapiens into a visual format? [1:16:03] Sapiens: A Graphic History will eventually be a four-volume set. How soon can we expect to see the next three, what does the creation process look like, and what do Yuval, David, and Daniel hope the world will take away from the series? [1:22:50] What is Yuval’s mission statement? [1:24:29] What does Yuval see as the most important global problems facing humanity right now, and where does he see humanity going in the next two centuries? [1:26:40] Of our possible fates, which worries Yuval the most? [1:34:12] When reflecting on the darker aspects of past, present, and potential future, what keeps Yuval going? [1:35:56] Parting thoughts. [1:38:01]

All other FIAT ‘trust’ ‘currencies’ have resorted back to their intrinsic value of zero.

    Nuclear war, ecological collapse, and technological disruption. What about future pandemics? Or would that be part of ecological collapse? I would disagree regarding Nuclear threats- Harare states no one wants nuclear war, but that is not necessarily true. There are certain groups that are nihilistic enough to go there if they got hold of the technology. There are certain regimes-like North Korea that are not as restrained as other nuclear powers. There is still an arms race going on globally.

    Having sat many Vipassana retreats and having my life changed deeply by them, having been involved in the management of one of the meditation centers, I have mostly very good things to say both about the meditation technique taught there, the structure of the organization, ethical conduct of people involved, healing and positive transformation brought by this practice. However, as I was reading Harari's “Sapiens”, I couldn’t believe that this was writing of an assistant teacher in this very meditation tradition. Logical fallacies every 2-3 pages, refuted or controversial theories in anthropology and archaeology presented as “facts”, self-contradictory materialism, depiction of human life as a cruel struggle for racial dominance… The writing style is accessible and compelling though, and young people untrained in logic/critical thinking seem to be gulping up these ideas, endorsed by the oligarchs of today. Calling subatomic particles “real” and justice or love - “fiction” means that the author is either guilty of deliberate ideological subversion or simply be better off enrolling in Philosophy 101 before publishing his works. Apparently meditation without reason is a blind and dangerous alley, after all.

    I read and you would love Israeli author : YUVAL HARARI or others like SABINE, SAM HARRIS, HITCHENS, DAWKINS, DENNETT , SHERMER AND OTHER SCIENTISTS! YUVAL'S book on his brief history of everything. He has many talks online. BUT BUT BUT NOTE: like most academics he is a materialist - meaning 'everything is matter; human beings are zombies of sorts; and the political system should be socialism'. So his interpretation of many facts are WRONG but the overall writing, talks and theme is "very very interesting" Be aware of not being hypnotized by him. In contrast THE CORRECT COMPLETE CONCISE COMPREHENSIVE COHERENT philosophy : man does have a mind. But one can only induct that as an axiom. There is no "proof" for proof requires antecedent evidence. ->> Consciousness is the identification of existence. So existence first, mind second Aristotle's law of identity third. Consciousness (an identity) identifies existence (another identity). That means the mind is real, separate to the brain, efficacious (free will), finite and delimited to your life. Finite? Whereas existence is infinite: existed, exists and will forever exists. You can NOT ask "how did existence come to be" for that is to presuppose "existence BEFORE existence" a logical contradiction! You can only induct "it is, it was, it will always be". The verb: to be (but NOT the Shakespeare phrase "to be or not to be ") ! Delimited: Deepak Chopra says consciousness is infinite and it is the universe peeking back on itself through you! Deepak is the primacy of consciousness: everything is consciousness or "God's mind or his fart". In contrast above is the primacy of existence : existence first. How does the mind come to be? One can not know as it is an "Axiom". In math axioms are every where. But this is not math. Axiom is something one assumes. But it is not an arbitrary assumption . To state "there is no mind" is to beg the question: "how do you know, as in what faculty are you using to reach this conclusion?" We come back to "the mind" ! So one has existence, mind and identity - this is the entirety of metaphysics [reality as it "is" - the word "is" or verb "to be"] A cat is not a dog. A Whale is not a fish. You are NOT mere matter even though you're made of matter. Everything has an identity. Truth. But how to know it? See below. But how do you know the above OR come to know ANY truth? The methods of reason and logic [this is called epistemology in philosophy. The only correct philosophy what I have said because you can use a universal method to verify and validate it - logic. All others are sometimes interesting BUT WRONG] So what is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth on the whole reality as it "is" [to be] ? Metaphysics: existence (see above) Epistemology [how do you know truth]? Reason. The above leads to ethics. An individual of a species that can think and MUST think to sustain your life must by nature have the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So evil is the use of force or fraud against another as they are also equal and Sovereign citizen under the law. Liberty to indeed think and act on the conclusions of your thinking! For what? To sustain your life! Life and Liberty. But humans also live to thrive, not just to sustain a (mundane) life [else one gets depressed!] IN CONTRAST, ALL OTHER SPECIES come pre-adapted to sustain their life : plants and animals (e.g. blubber of a polar bear, their claws, camo and teeth!) What is the correct form of government and economics? Based upon the above: it must be democracy - a government to protect your ethical rights identified above using it's arms like civil courts, military, and the police. But what is the correct economic system and why? Capitalism [identified by BRITON - ADAM SMITH - that ended up as the backbone of the formation of a new nation in 1776- U.S.A !!!] Above you see every species comes pre-adapted to a niche environment. BUT MAN must use his mind to think properly (reason and logic) And act in order to sustain his life. Man must by your design of nature - READAPT THE BLOODY ENVIRONMENT TO YOURSELF ! INVADE THE ENVIRONMENT WITH REASON! From first creative man that put on clothes ; discovered and created fire; created tools [remember those caveman picture books at junior school ? ] From the cave to YOUR LIFE TODAY - every tiny and bigger "thing' was and is of the environment that's been "readapted" for your use that you pay for directly or indirect - from behind the walls, under the floors, under the hood of your smartphone or bathroom to all the things in a house or on the streets. Entire cities or villages are man that has readapted nature to YOUR value! Man's property rights are a self evident truth that stems from ethics: your right to life. Man needs to acquire, maintain, dispose OR TRADE your property or services (e.g. hat, cat, mat, iphone or money). A trade is a meeting of minds between two people without force or fraud: such as prospective employer-employee or seller-buyer. THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE IN MAN'S BELIEF LIKE TRADE! ALAS IN MOST DEMOCRATIC (AND OTHER ) NATION PEOPLE UNAWARE clamor for socialism - as if big brother government "magically" knows what is BEST FOR YOUR LIFE. How can any "one" know what is best for you - it's hard enough to know what is best for "oneself" for Christ's sakes!!! The above principles led to the richest self made men in history by 1900s in the U.S.A. ! More than entire Monarchs throughout history THAT you STUDIED in history class - pillaging and wars ! Finally man needs aesthetics: good art. The WHOLE OF CORRECT PHILOSOPHY: So metaphysics: existence epistemology: reason ethics: inalienable rights politics: democracy - and economics: capitalism. aesthetics: good art
