I should've only had one teacher all my life just talking to me randomly about life. And that is Yuval. All these years of schooling did not teach me as much as his books did.

Thank you Yuval, Daniel and Kara.

“People imagine that when you have a lot power you can do whatever you want, usually when you have a lot of power your choices are very limited. Everything you say has implications”

Harari says thing in short and sharp. Amazing! Love him.

I really liked what Harari said at min 4:55 which I paraphrased below: "This is the first time in human history that we have no idea how the world would look like in a very short time, let's say in 20 years. I mean, predictions were never very accurate: if you live in the middle ages, you don't know what will happen in 20 years. Maybe the vikings will invade, maybe the mongols will invade, maybe there'll be a plague, an earthquake. All kinds of things could happen, but at least you know that the basic features of human life are going to be the same. When you think for example about the job market or the skills you need, then you know you should teach your kids how to harvest wheat, bake bread and ride a hose because even if the mongols invade, and even if the vikings come, and even if there is a plague or an earthquake, they would still need to harvest wheat and to ride a horse. So, that's a safe bet. Now if we look 20 years into the future we have no idea what the job market would look like, or what skills people will need. So that's the one big thing that is changing: the pace of change is accelerating. The other thing is that, for the first time in history, the deep structure of human beings is likely to start changing. We are the same animals we were in the middle ages, in biblical times or even in the stone age. This is why we can so easily connect to people or appreciate works of art from thousands of years ago: they were written by people just like us. But when I look 100 or 200 years into the future, I think for the first time it's very likely that not just our technology and economics and politics will change but humanity itself will change. The bodies, the brains, the deep mental structures of people are now open to greater and greater manipulation. I think it's a reasonable bet that in a century or two our planet will be dominated by entities which are much more different from you and me, just like we are different from the neanderthals or even chimpanzees. It’s possible that, after four billion years of organic evolution, we will see non-organic entities taking over. This is a completely new thing, nothing like the rise of christianity, the industrial revolution, or the second world war." If you feel overwhelmed on a daily basis, you got some pretty good reasons for it. 😅

Daniel won a Nobel prize and she says “ you sold many books” 😂

Yuval, it is a pleasure hearing and reading you thinking, it is very human, clear and makes me think. Its inspiring.

Whoaaaa how can these two giants appear on the same screen without blowing up the internet?!

What's so often missing is we've ALREADY been hacked. AKA marketing.... Great conversation, thanks

So much food for thought. Who hacks the human mind? Unpredictable changes in a short time making miraculous changes, a real crisis.

RIP😢 Daniel Kahneman

...Danny Kahneman has a new book? 😵 and I thought 2021 was going to suck

I would rather live in the past, free of any digital technology. The contemporary world brings increased stress, despair, and hopelessness to 80% of the world's people, not 20% of wealthy people. I wish I had the power to choose when to live.

Such a fabulous interviewer! Done her homework and was an incredibly good listener to present the right Qs to get the best of both!

To preserve our humanity, “We” need to plan for at least the next two iterations of a representative democracy designed to secure human dignity. See Article I of the 1949 German Constitution (developed during Germany’s “reconstruction” guided by the Western allies - US, UK, France).

I think learning basic stats/data analysis, basic finance/accounting, basic programming and getting certified (e.g. useful college degree) are safe bets for the future.

I think there were one hundred and forty seven maxims, on the temple of Apollo. But number eight is great.

The Fallen Angels, the Satanist World is having the bad karma now, in the process and counting and Godly people are still humble and simple and contented and peaceful***

👍. Great conversation. Yuval focus is about future.. Kehneman focus is about presence. However, not sure if Yuval is answering the questions asked.

Impressive conversation albeit with a rather pessimistic prognosis for the future of humankind.

Whattup Yuval? Straight chillin’ I hope.. 😎

Great minds

Escaping into what you believe , it is like buring our head in the sand

We cannot “knowingly” project a human future w/o developing a framework of consciousness (c) based on c being a VR presented to us, and computing (at least) the 1st six derivatives of consciousness (possibly getting to something like Neuralink).

Abundance of foods in my hometown due to balance of sunshine and rain*** I am a climate engineer without spending any money in my experiments***

Politics is the allocation of values. Q is: do “we” allocate our values to “free will” AI or to an AI-“assisted” representative process that both: Retains a “desired” level of individual autonomy (permitting a falsifiable level of actual self-knowledge AND a “durable” level of collective human organization that preserves the likelihood that that new level of representative democracy can be passed on to the NEXT level of human “advancement”.

Great listening to top great thinkers

I can predict the future by doing heavenly things now***

The discussion was mostly on Yuval’s arena.

Kings in the past are forgotten now***

What is “Black Mirror”? Could our last view of the Black Mirror’s screen be like our most recent (possibly “last”) experience w/ “Black Ice” (“Bridge freezes before road”)? Did we prepare ourselves to be “Safe” (driving straight at constant speed across the bridge), or did we choose ignorance and its “Black Swan”-like result (eg, changing lanes and/or speed while on the bridge, losing control, flipping over & over, ending up upside down, hanging from our seat-belt, experiencing our realization of our mistake, while our blood rushes into our bruised brain, causing our final “lights out”).

great🍀

We all die***

It is necessary to construct an understanding how the brain presents to us the “mind” - “we” cannot abandon the actual physical brain structures, from the smallest elements to our large evolved (dated-ordered) sub-brain organisms that include convoluted pathways bound up in “legacy” systems, large portions of which are inefficient, no longer useful, or are in tension or conflict w/ each other.

Let Daniel talk more next time yuvy.

Survivals the exception, extinction the norm....evolution waits for no one....we’re the transition species we always look for in the fossil record. To the next phase everyone.....embrace your destiny! Entropy demands it!😜🤣🤖

The old Professor didnt get to talk!

I find both these 'thinkers' very mealy-mouthed about the future of humanity and the so-called 'Pandemic' which our bodies can deal with. We've never known what life is going to hold in the future, it's always changed and we've always evolved with it. We're an amazing species, we evolve with the changing times, we don't need technology to enable us to thrive and achieve our potential. Yuval is pushing for AI/inorganic stuff as if they're better than us and a great future. Whenever Yuval speaks there's always a phrase that I find insulting, last time it was the 'useless class', this time the interviewer uses a quote - 'meat flaps' to refer to our mouths and neither of them say anything. My mind maybe noisy but it's got me to where I am and I've survived and helped others too. I don't need saving. I certainly don't want some hyped up author to frighten me about the future, we have the power as humans. There are Natural Laws which govern us as Thomas Aquinas explained and they are timeless and strong. These 2 'thinkers' are both mouthpieces or 'meat flaps' for silicon valley.

"Hack, the herald angels sing!" Just Kidding! Well, shoving aside the "techno-lingo" used" For-allwe-know what these savants are talking are about Biblical prophesies, unfolding in these predictably "difficult and trying Times!
