- Yuval Noah Harari in conversation with Ian Bremmer: Why the World Isn’t Fair
In 2024, both Americans and Israelis find themselves at a turning point, with complex questions of national identity, democracy and historical justice looming large.
In the midst of Israel’s war with Hamas and on the eve of the US Presidential elections, Yuval Noah Harari publishes a new children’s book that discusses the origins of injustice and inequality: Unstoppable Us, Part 2: Why the World Isn’t Fair. In our fragmented world it seems more difficult than ever to debate such questions - but it is also more important than ever. How can people in the Middle East, the USA and elsewhere tell the difference between myth and reality? Where is the intersection point between justice and peace? Hear Harari, one of today’s most renowned storytellers of human history and 21st century technology, tackle these questions and more - offering an incisive analysis that connects the collective decisions we make today to the national and global order of tomorrow.
Recorded March 3, 2024 at 92nd Street Y, New York.

Brilliant man. He has the courage to state the facts. "Religion does not come from the sky". Man created religions. Absolutely true.
Harari’s critics can’t see his contribution to science. Is the work original? No, not much. What he excels at is as a generalist and synthesizer. His broad knowledge base has given him the 30 thousand foot view. It’s closer to philosophy and grand general theory. The premise of such a perspective is discouraged in science today. Generalist are not respected in science so much but their contribution is nevertheless valuable.
Yuval, I have been listening to your lectures for years and this is the first time that your description of us as minds and bodies has actually permeated my mind! As a species we are all the same with very few exceptions. We have torsos, 2 arms, 2 legs, genitalia, 2 eyes, etc. We are mammals who cannot survive without food and water. At the deepest level homo sapiens are the same species. Thank you for enlightening this 78 year old woman.
Spark of intelligence and candour. Harari clarity of mind is indeed great!
Listening to Harari creates the difference between looking and seeing!
Right or wrong, we do need thinkers like Yuval.
It is a pleasure to listen to Yuval.
He has a way with words. His wide knowledge on various subjects, makes him stand very firmly when he speculates about man's future. He has a fascinating mind. You can't ignore him .
😢Excellent discussion 😤❤
Harari is torch bearer of present time for history as well as science.
Fantastically interesting interview. Thanks!
Diversity is the important part of agriculture! Monocultures are a big problem whereas companion planting and leaving strips wild to let the natural order of plants and insects thrive. Build soil and grow organic. Plant based diets are healthier.
Intuition sparks revelations, inspirations, and, insights. Intuition is the mother of everything. But how does intuition emerge? What does it influence and how does it vanish?
“ we fight because of stories in our minds”
Yep - that is what religion is - just stories.
I have enjoyed listening and reading his books since I heard him on Sam Harris’s podcast Making Sense about 3 years ago. Fantastic discussion. Thank you for this offering
Harari is one of the best historian of our time!
👏
Sou brasileira. Como faço para ter as legendas em Português???
Brilliant indeed. I've been following him since I first read Sapiens several years ago. I put him up there with any of the great thinkers.
He claims that are myths are more powerful at shaping the world than nature. He's very careful not to tell us how to shape these myths or even if we can.
Many would say that we do not have free will. Therefore the stories are an inevitable result of everything that came before. I would argue that we can shape our stories, albeit in a limited way. (See the old myth about "the wolf we feed").
Currently, we seem to be collectively feeding the story of the victim has he points out at around 56 minutes. Through my awareness of this, I am trying to feed a different wolf.
It is a very interesting discussion that all is not well with the progress of science on Earth.
Fifty years back scientific revolutions gave us hope that a sustainable future is a certainty. The conclusions of discussions in this video, suggest that scientific progress is overwhelming the mankind. What is the chance that 'Science and ethics ' will guide the global leaders to prevent catastrophic consequences?
Is he saying Poutine or Putin? Definitely support more of one and less of the other. 😊
?
The comment about cats was so ignorant
Nature goes on forever for everyone and everything to return as everyone and everything an infinite number of times through evolutionary processes. 🌌
Did he say his husband ? I can't believe it.
Люди не бьются за истории вместо территорий. Люди - выдумщики, а по сути лжецы 😂. Мы научились маскировать истинные цели сказками
Interesting how Yuval calls Israel a homeland (for the Jews) with a straight face, when most Jews in Israel are dual citizens, illegally immigrated from EU, Russia, USA, etc.
Interesting, what harari is not mentioning about the Ukraine situation.... complexity reduction and blaming it all on the assumption that everything happened just because of one mad individual ...a "Putlertheorist"😂
What is this Yuval Harari's big appeal? Bremmer; i understand, his geopolitical analytics are always fun. Yuval, it seems, just mitigates potentially possible reaction's to occurrences and other loose, vague concepts from a nebulous view-point in an extremely recondite way and then, comes up with, "communication," as his big revolutionary idea?
I disagree with his conclusions and believe he’s disingenuous at best. He’s entitled to such but he sees his theories as facts. I believe he’s deep state.
@@WAdelstein it actually irritates me; the things he talks about! I feel like SOMEBODY wants the world to think this guy's smart but he just makes a bunch of noise with no practical application?
@@ttacking_you he’s quite intelligent but lying. He doesn’t believe in global warming or covid narratives any more than a hard core trump supporter. I did notice that he writes children’s books that are humanist. I guess humanistic and or certain streams of atheist parents might agree. But he’s spreading a new religion. A new GoD. He knows nato was threatening Russia as much as any narrative skeptic. He knows that Jan 6 aside from it was a set up was to preserve the constitution as opposed to the attack on Bastille. He’s a lying globalist. But he’s intelligent. He wants to reshape the world in his image. He’d like to make the Jewish people obscure and Judaism as a faith system gone. He hates nationalism but loves patriotism but he doesn’t hate Palestinian nationalism nor wishes it to morph into patriotism. If patriotic Palestinians would be developing fire brigades, manufacturing, tech. They’d enjoy prosperity. He’s inconsistent with his lies. I assume he’s lying about most if it but I liken it go proselytising universalist faiths. In Christianity, Paul said, “I’m all things to all people“, and Islam has tequiyaa which is similar. Yuvaal is all things to all people. All universal religions need converts to dominate. Yuvaal is intelligent but not infallible.
It's like "potential theoretical history" or something?
@@WAdelstein i disagree, I think he's coming at it from an antitheistic angle like most scientists. But after witnessing trump's easy stranglehold why would he go through the trouble of integrating ecclesiastics into the fold?
😢The West an their allies will reap wat they sowed around de world 😤forwards into Star Trek world don't be scared ❤
Yuval! there is no "r" in the word "Idea"! stop it!
What about his hard S'S !? What did he learn English from drag time story hour?
Yuval lied when he said, people in Israel and Russia are fighting for imaginary stories, meaning, religion. Not true. Both conflicts are about resources, and therefore, by extension, land.
Religion comes as a unifying and rallying tool “after” the underlying cause and decision to fight have been decided, resources, which in turn is wealth and power at their core!
Other than that flaw in his narrative, Yuval did make some great points!
Just because you disagree is no reason to say he lied. Yuval stated his views - he did NOT lie. What is wrong with you? Get a life.
Harari's Liberal explanation about history, the third one after fascism and Marxism, is too weak, and groundless especially when he explains the existence of permanent conflicts in humanity.
Are you a historian and professor who has studied history for decades? I didn't think so. So why should we listen to your silly opinions?
There is absolutely no scientific scientific proof that consciousness is created by the brain.
Imagine believing consciousness doesn't reside in the brain. Bless your "soul."
Why imagine anything? How about questioning the validity of assumptions? Instead of saying the brain creates consciousness be honest and say: I don't really know what consciousness is and where it comes from instead the slide of hand trick of the unexplained assumption : brain is producing consciousness...why? Because everybody believes it.... that's why, and now shut up!😂
@@Atmasai Do you believe consciousness exists outside of the brain?
I don't know and you? Do you believe in a brain outside of consciousness?
@@Atmasai I'm only asking what you believe. Nobody claims that they know what consciousness is, or at least I've never heard anybody say they know. But they have theories. What's yours?
5:17-5:20 just like the story he is telling! This man is a homosexual and doesn't believe in God! What do we expect for him to say! Jesus is really alive? He will never say it because he has a job to do. We've been expecting him for years!
Ian Bremmer is an open supporter of Hamas.
