Yuval Noah Harari has a knack for finding the profound in the obvious. His book Sapiens recounts the history of mankind, discussing recurring themes like famine, plague, and war as well as global events like the agricultural revolution, the Black Death, and the First World War.
In this episode of People I (Mostly) Admire, hosted by Steve Levitt, Harari asks whether Neanderthals had souls and explains why money is fiction, traffic can be mind-blowing, and politicians have a right to say stupid things in private.
This episode was originally published July 22, 2022.

I think what captivates the readers of Noah is not the mundane line of exciting story-telling, rather the abundance of intellectual sparkles that shine the path of the story that he leads us through. Sheer sparkles of intelligence mesmerises the audiences, the way the stars in the dark night sky do; and Noah's intelligence does it the most.

Our lives are without meaning to the universe (sorry for the reality check to religious believers), but they can be full of meaning to ourselves. Meaning is an individual reality. You cannot "look for" and "find" meaning, because it is not existing externally, predefined, out there somewhere to be found. You *define* your own meaning, whatever appeals to your heart, if you can simply get in touch with your own heart and have enough ability to pursue your sense of meaning. To see how our lives do not have meaning or value to the universe, one need only to take an honest look at the caprice of life, if your psyche can withstand it, without retreat into magical thinking and denial.

Thank you for this interest podcast. Tuvalu perspective is often illuminating. Two things though; firstly I believe we do have a purpose - it is to evolve into the best version of ourselves we can be. Secondly I believe we should expect our leaders to be authentic and responsible both privately and publicly. We certainly don’t want to be entrusting the nuclear codes to inauthentic and irresponsible leaders just putting on a show. Nurturing these qualities is part of our evolution as a species. Our very existence depends upon it!

Great interview! I have read all Yuval's books and listened to many of his public speeches. I was pleasantly surprised to hear new thoughts in some of his answers. Beyond human stories and what science has revealed to us, the cosmos has more mysterious and fascinating secrets and surprises. For me, that's what makes our existence both meaningless and amazing.

I am 65M Indian, highly influenced by Yuval's writings and speeches. Practice meditation too, but limited to 1 hour a day. I never find it easy, with a consistent wandering mind, body aches all over and an urge to reengage in life activities. Good tips from Yuval to engage more in my meditative practices. I know a few righteous Indian politicians making impactful visionary statements and aspiring actions in the present with hope. But I also believe that there is no limit to human stupidity.

In another interview he says that story telling is our superpower. Then he tells us "not to view the universe as a story" that "the universe does not function as a story". But the universe is a story! It's a slow process of evolution. To think our ancestors have evaded war, famine, and disease OR to think that our ancestors sacrificed everything just to raise and protect their children, to try and give them a better life than themselves. This has to be the most romantic and meaningful story that we have. The hero's journey! Not to mention this story takes place on a giant space rock we call Earth which has its own incredible story that takes place within our galaxy. And the Galaxy has its OWN incredible story. All these stories are so deeply intertwined like layers to a song.

The practices of Hindu/Sanatana dharma are too objective and material oriented around asking favors or returns through all conceivable rituals, often bribing. Lately it is hijacked for political purposes exploring communal differences and establishing electroral majority in democracies. While very few take it for spiritual enlightenment. Though marginalized, but expected to defend it in speeches and debates wherever required.

What Mr. Harari says about readers focusing in on what he considered the most banal and widely known things as being, to them, the most significant, fits perfectly with Gore Vidal's take on history in his wonderful novel, Julian. The Roman Emperor is writing his (fictional) memoirs, and almost apologizes to the reader for relating "what everybody already knows" because, in a hundred years or a thousand, will they be known commonly? What is common knowledge to specialists in history or human evolution may be both essential and, to those specialists, seemingly banal. Thank you for your videos.

To strive for some ultimate meaning Even if it was a riddle that could be solved , if the well-being of living creatures isn’t central to this “ meaning “ then for me it would have no utility in ways that matters so would be rendered meaningless . The book , Altruism was very useful in fostering my alignment towards this purpose.

If life is meaningless one can’t really logically say that it is amazing (or horrible for that matter) but just that he experiences it as amazing or horrible. If life is objectively meaningless (and that by the way would be impossible to prove) it does not make sense to say that it is this or that because, then, it is nothing in and of itself. One could only talk about his experience/ feelings with something that has no objective quality or substance. Face value, to say that it is meaningless and amazing (or anything) is a contradiction.

Reasons: 1: He is not a climate scientist so not his expertise. The interview is to gain his insights on his expertise (as evidenced by the fact he wrote a book). 2: He is an Historian and climate change is all about projection of future climate. Just not appropriate for this discussion.

Because "climate change" is NOTHING more than a slush fund for the WEF, that's why. He's focused on his personal psychosis, here, believing that his version of history will continue to be mental masturbation for the remaining few in his version of the future. I guess it has legs IF the pages of his book are made of "climate proof" plastic. Harari's self-hatred is palpable.

Because he like most people at the top knows there is no significant climate change. He makes the climate change so small-minded people are distracted by theatrics.

If it is meaningless, by definition is not amazing, otherwise it would be meaningful.

Why I am not very interested in thinkers like Harari . He said that life has no meaning. I say that I don’t know if life has meaning. Sócrates already tought us, what it means to know. However, books sell, a lot more, if the author tells that he Definetly knows something. Harari is brillant, but I don’t fine him wise.

Modern brain researches show there are bundle of neurons inside your head, where many aromatic electrons are conjugated, they can form your consciences , or in theories of quantum mechanics, they can permeate through your physical brains and leave you; especially after your death.😅
