The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.
I have been investing in stocks for over 10 years now and I have made a lot of money. My portfolio has grown exponentially and I can't thank stocks & ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER enough for such an amazing way to make money!
Change requires the expense of time. All change has happened in time which has already past. History is the study of events which necessarily happened in the past.
Picked up 21 Lessons to read and came here for a summary sort of from him directly. He is incredibly thoughtful and his opinions/observations are equally thought provoking.
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.
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.
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".
"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.
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.
@REAL FICTIONS And this is what the speaker is emphasising, that these creations of the human mind, like "Google", "Nation", "Currency" etc are fictions.
@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.
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.
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. But than again: the app could be hacked too
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.
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.
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 🙏
Slam_24 yes, and now big corporation are taking over, like commercial banks. Like the clergy they are aware of the fact that fucking up peoples brains at a very young age will pay of in due time . . . for them and surely not for those kids.
He is the new Aldous Huxley. If he could write fiction like Brave New World it could be an English novel on the curriculum. Presently there is not much on sociology or psychology at a high school level.
I hope, in the future, neurophysiology will pull us to be the best version of ourselves we can be, and that we can choose our genes by a very clear consciousness to be able not to choose to be a criminal or a psychopath. Bravo Yuval!!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 👍🏻
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
He's forgetting about the God that is involved with us personally and speaks to us giving direction supernaturally and miraculous healings It happens all the time of course fake news will never report it.
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...
This is real emotional intelligence, sitting in Google and destroying its image of the so-called Advocate of humanity.. Good job Yuval.. And, I believe you said you practice Vippassna meditation.
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.
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 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.
Just WOW! This guy is a genius. I wish I had even 10% of his ability/knowledge/thinking skills. That would be enough to keep me very satisfied in life.
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).
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.
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.
It was brave of Google to invite him since he obviously sees them as being one of those companies that are currently not leveraging AI technologies only for the good of human kind
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 ! !
the fact that Yuval himself explains in a conversation organised by Google that we modern humans lack our free will by Google and other organisation just get over me , what an HONEST THINKER
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.
Brilliant! I think the very last words hit me the hardest. 'An AI system that gets to know me in order to protect me, and not in order to sell me product or to get me to click on an advertisement.' I know I am too jaded, but within the context of our culture, I wonder if it is possible for a business to want to do that.
Morbidly damn true. An AI system that will try to know in order to protect me and not in order to sell me products and make me click on its advertisements. 😜

The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.
Wow! I just looked up this person out of curiosity and I'm super impressed with her qualifications. Thanks for sharing.
How can this person, ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER be reached please...
I have been investing in stocks for over 10 years now and I have made a lot of money. My portfolio has grown exponentially and I can't thank stocks & ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER enough for such an amazing way to make money!
That's so true. but if i may ask, do you trade all by yourself?
*"History is not the study of past. History is the study of change."* - Yuval Noah Harari
He literally burped in the middle of saying that
Change requires the expense of time. All change has happened in time which has already past. History is the study of events which necessarily happened in the past.
“Humans are now hackable animals. Free will, that’s over” your boi, Yuval Harari. You’re a moor-on 😊
He is so good and inspirational about the hackable animals thing. I really look up to him as a great animal hacking role model.
Yuval statement " My best advice is to focus on personal resilience and emotional intelligence." stood out as be best advice he gave.
Pish
@JRussellDay Old advice, but one that does not seem to be followed at all(at least in the us)
Very old advice, harari has nothing new.
Picked up 21 Lessons to read and came here for a summary sort of from him directly. He is incredibly thoughtful and his opinions/observations are equally thought provoking.
Kkiuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Absolutely
"History is not the study of past. History is the study of change."
O@Amjad Nasir
i thought study of change is calculus😊
You are so clever. How to do it?
"Spirituality is about questions, religion is about answers" that's a powerful statement that I think many religious people might not object to
@Herbert Ant one of them is me
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.
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.
🤮🤮
Shared goals is what makes us human --- be it family, nation, religion, cooperations etc .... even music and culture !
Smart guy!! Great contribution to the world's knowledge
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 love how this guy uses "practical" examples explaining complicated matters.
True
That's what any good teacher, philosopher, or religious leader does.
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".
This man is a man of wonder. His ideas are revolutionary and simple to understand ...
"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.
A talk fueled with honesty.
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.
I am currently reading this marvelous, neatly-written book 📚 very very enjoyable 🧡💚💜
so much respect to Mr. Harari, i can listen to his talks all day long!
"Whatever cannot suffer, is a fiction, is a story, and is not reality": WONDERFUL CONCEPT!
So if there was a being that couldn't suffer it wouldn't be real? If someone had their brain altered so they felt good all the time for instance.
@REAL FICTIONS
And this is what the speaker is emphasising, that these creations of the human mind, like "Google", "Nation", "Currency" etc are fictions.
@Swami Mananananda not sure that any narrative that humans use language to create wether “fictional” or “real” is ultimately anything but a fiction.
@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.
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.
Amazing talk, I like the way he clearly states the reasoning behind the idea/innovation and what those are making into use for
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.
U are awesome
@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.
Me too..almost everything he spoke resonated with me !
Food for thought: Neuralink is hooking computer chips into peoples brains. The concept of knowing yourself might change radically within 10-20 years
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. But than again: the app could be hacked too
' History is the study of Change ' , Outstanding interview, thank you.
I'm fond of his book sapiens. I had never read history from such perspective. This guy has dug it completely deep
The greatest question I've ever noticed. "What should we teach our kids" by Yuval Noah Harari.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for pointing that out!!
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 🙏
Slam_24 yes, and now big corporation are taking over, like commercial banks. Like the clergy they are aware of the fact that fucking up peoples brains at a very young age will pay of in due time . . . for them and surely not for those kids.
Sadly the church has too much grip over most schools
Same i thought
He is the new Aldous Huxley. If he could write fiction like Brave New World it could be an English novel on the curriculum. Presently there is not much on sociology or psychology at a high school level.
He's a bit lowbrow for tertiary studies, Hannah.
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.
I hope, in the future, neurophysiology will pull us to be the best version of ourselves we can be, and that we can choose our genes by a very clear consciousness to be able not to choose to be a criminal or a psychopath. Bravo Yuval!!
I came across Yuval a few years ago & watched couple of videos, but this lecture blew my mind 🤯 Amazing human at all possible levels 👌
He is a rare gem of the 21sr century. He is treasure of knowledge.
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.

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.
An advocate clarifies a false accusaiton and makes it real in a court. Does this mean all should eat that?
Thank you Yuval Noah Harari for your dedication to educate everyone and for sharing all your thoughts.
This was an amazing talk!
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!
Thank you very much Yuval. The world is for all, share it appropriately.
Great discussion💖
A truly inspirational human, and a pleasure reading his works so far
This talk was one of the best that I already heard in all my life
There’s gold in every statement he makes!
very very true words about compassion ❤️
Great talk! Very deep in thoughts! Awesome 👏
I can spend hours listening to this guy. Amazing.
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 👍🏻

in hinduism, we called it as nirguna (beyond "God") and saguna brahman (the thinkable God)
gokul raja
And the third is Christian and the fourth is Buddhist and the fifth Shintoism...etc.
Deep smarts...full of thought provoking insights and information. Valuable 58 minutes
What an interesting speech! Plenty of wisdom. Another perspective of which are priorities should be.
Wonderful ! Really great Yuval !
Great talk, thank you for such thought-provoking books.
This is real emotional intelligence, sitting in Google and destroying its image of the so-called Advocate of humanity.. Good job Yuval.. And, I believe you said you practice Vippassna meditation.
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.
At this critical time of existence I find such talk enhancing to my human life.
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.
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
great vision for human kind and very insightful session..!
Hi Yuval,
I am going to read all your books. Already finished 'Sapiens' and currently reading 'Homo Deus'.
Yuval Noah Harari, you are simply the best
Read all three books of Mr. Harari. They confirmed my perceptions, predictions, experiences and concerns.
Must read all his books.
Really a mind blowing session, shed light on various aspects of technology and human mind and civilization. Worth listening 👍
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.
I loved the ending. Very bright and broad intellect this man.
Just WOW! This guy is a genius. I wish I had even 10% of his ability/knowledge/thinking skills. That would be enough to keep me very satisfied in life.
Lol, agreed 💯
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).
wonderful ...spirituality is about question...religion is about answers
Last answer from Yuval is absolutely great!!! This guy is just awesome!!
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.
@George Raptis Assuming hell is a thing, and that something he said might lead you there.
A ticket to Hell. Nothing more.
I am so happy that I have encountered you in this chaotic reality. Thank you!
Genial... una hora de enteder el presente y proyectar el futuro.
its eye opening,,for our generation and the coming one,,,
This was truly a great talk. Thank you google and Yuval Harari
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.
🤮🤮
One of our most enigmatic, zen-like thinkers, Yogi Berra once said, "the hardest thing to predict is the furure". It's true.
absolutely great books and Yuval is an eloquent communicator , Great presentation.
This is amazing ❤❤👏👏
Love Yuval’s perspectives and work.
It was brave of Google to invite him since he obviously sees them as being one of those companies that are currently not leveraging AI technologies only for the good of human kind
Google's hidden AI recommended that to protect and make blind himself.
todos somos venezuela what's the necessity of human existence?
This guy is simply awesome!
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 ! !
Wonderful. So well put.
the fact that Yuval himself explains in a conversation organised by Google that we modern humans lack our free will by Google and other organisation just get over me , what an HONEST THINKER
The last, but not least words of Yuval on Google's assignment are needed to materialise and in fact it's crying need for humans protection.
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.
Brilliant! I think the very last words hit me the hardest. 'An AI system that gets to know me in order to protect me, and not in order to sell me product or to get me to click on an advertisement.' I know I am too jaded, but within the context of our culture, I wonder if it is possible for a business to want to do that.
BRILLIANT, thank you so much!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Just WOW...The way he explained GOD
This guy is an amazing thinker
The Best Talk I have come across since I started spending time of KZclip.
the final line killed it, what a legend
Morbidly damn true. An AI system that will try to know in order to protect me and not in order to sell me products and make me click on its advertisements. 😜
Phenomenal y’all. Thanks for this.
Wonderful! And so important!
Useful conversation 👌
