Been a fan of the professor since 2010 - absolutely profound man and luminary and a huge inspiration. We need more of him and more like him.
Loving Niall's 'I just got of a 24 hour flight from Colorado to Indonesia' look. Few men can rock that beard.
I can get a conclusion of this conversation. How to understand decade to decade in history.
Thanks Pak Gita 🙏
Maybe another time you can invite Noam Chomsky.
wow, ini sejarahwan ekonomi favorit saya, saya baca bukunya, Civilization. pertama kali saya kenal di TED Talk.
It takes human intelligence to read human mind!! Great talks. Became one of my fave. Thanks pak Gita
Really, it's a fascinating conversation. Thank you, Pak Gita.
Amazing🤩thank you sir Gita who has invited him to your Podcast
Love the conversation!
It is like reading a very thick book.. very satisfying 👍👍
Ketika ChatGPT bisa jadi perbincangan di Endgame, maka pencipta ChatGPT pun, Elon Musk bisa hadir di Endgame. Sangat dinantikan wawancara Elon Musk di Endgame
Terima kasih Pak Gita
the contents provided by endgame podcast of Pak Gita are amazingly insightful. Terima kasih Pak Gita.
Nice conversation, Sir Gita 🙏👍😁
Vandana Shiva, sosok yang layak untuk menjadi tamu selanjutnya, lebih dari 20 buku telah ditulisnya. Aktivismenya di dunia benih perlu diperbincangkan dan pandangannya soal ekofenisme juga layak untuk dipikirkan.
Gak bakal bosan dengan channel ini
Great video- thanks
Terima kasih Pak Gita atas kontennya yg selalu menarik dan insightful 🙏🏻
I agree with Niall Ferguson about the importance of books, because you use your own imagination instead of a movie director's vision. But for me Audiobooks have taken over, I go on long walks in the mountains while listening.. Audio is the original way of conveying stories - like when we told them around campfires millenia ago.
Audio books are easier to consume but you won't learn as well or remember the content the same as reading. They cater to people like you who want to feel learned but are too lazy to read.
If it works for you, then great.
I guess those that are visually impaired are also thankful that they can consume the written word in audio form and that by no means show laziness.
@@felipearbustopotdyes it's still lazy. If you're visually impaired use braille.
salah satu Historian yang saya ikuti pemikirannya, thanks pak Gita
Amazing piece :)
Thank you both for an informative hour... Most worthwhile and since i'm listening well after the hamas massacre i found his predictive observations to be beautifully well founded...
And i'm also pretty sure... that notwithstanding his nostalgia for amateur Scots rugby players... he thoroughly enjoyed watching England being thumped at Murrayfield in their defence of their weekend (feb26, '24) Calcutta cup... even though it was one of our national rejects that scored the hat trick... Itself a demonstration of the historical futility of discriminatory legislation.
As they day in Scotland "Ling my yer lumb (sic) reek 😊😊
ahmazing conversation 🤍
Mantul, maturnuwun
Amazing
Keren ✨
George yeo, sekarang Neil Ferguson. Wah tambah menarik aja end game....
Mantap pak saya orang kampung ndeso aja ikut nyimak
While my brother played 'soccer' (we're Canadians so don't judge us too harshly!) from 5 year old league to university level, we always loved rugby since my late mother's first cousin was Mrs. Ronnie Lamont. (I don't expect our host to recognize that name I very much DO expect Mr Ferguson to!) Alas my eyesight wasn't up to it (and it was before the days of soft contact lenses so despite having a good build to play I couldn't) I've read 7 or 8 of Ferguson's books and while I don't agree with all his conclusions definitely found this a good use of an hour or so!
Excellent. I think inequality Will Always be there. The thing is how to make the non 0.1% has enough food, education, and money. When they are sick, they can be healed. Happiness is not always about money and how to become the 0.1%
I love books.
I am always happy whenever I discover a new video from Prof. Ferguson. He is intelligent and articulate.
Can you please invite for an interview Prof. John Mearsheimer also?
p.s. interviewer looks like Obama
Good!, somebody from Hoover to balance this out
Niall Ferguson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, discusses various topics in this conversation. He proposes renaming "artificial intelligence" to "inhuman intelligence" to reflect the non-human nature of artificial intelligence. Ferguson considers his decision to become a historian and his grandfather's influence on his life. He also discusses the limitations of artificial intelligence when it comes to comprehending human behavior and emotions. Ferguson also discusses the lack of social mobility despite the internet's accessibility to information, which he hypothesizes is due to the rise of elitism.
It is not about paying for degrees either, unfortunately. Social mobility is not much higher in countries with free university.
Dear Niall, an interviewer asked Tommy Lee Jones his least favorite sound. He answered, "Leafblowers!" Cheers.
Do you think policy makers should have incentives embedded in investment portfolios that are obscured from view?
konten Kelas berat.
Seperti kata pak Gita di video ini, Indonesian are a little to content with mediocrity. Tidak ambisius seperti China dan India. Terlihat dari jumlah pelajar dan jumlah yg tinggal di LN. Indonesian paling pintar ngomong kasar di sosmed, dan jauh lebih peduli pada agama ketimbang iptek. Sad but true
betul, biaya tersembunyi dr dialog politik nasional, di socmed yg isinya makian cacian jauh dr konteks masalah adalah masyarakat yg frustasi, bukan masyarakat terinspirasi,
susah jadi ambisius saat terlalu banyak distraksi, apalgi masuk ke area sains teknologi
Books, films... In 5-10 years, anyone will be able to produce a Hollywood-level feature film on his/her own. What do we make of that?
Were we ever allowed to discuss freely …!!??
Kudos to Pak Gita...Hoover institute is a very respectful group of thinkers....Mr. Ferguson's wife Ayaan Hirsi Ali also will be a good source.
Undang pak AGUS MUSTOFA pak gita, penulis produktif juga tu. Yg saya tau beliau bahas di bukunya tema sains, spritual, sejarah dan politik juga.
@thomasjessica7421 ya yg saya tau dia penulis pruduktif lebih 60 buku yg Dia tulis.
Kunjungi channel beliau Agus mustofa
😴💤💤💤
civilized talked confused me, but hey its a good bed time story...
Just wait and see what happens to society when we finally get hit by a major solar storm.
I think childhood educational inequality(not so much raw teaching & learning intake/curriculum) in terms of familial/community values or the absence of values is a huge factor, if you can learn on the internet but whenever you do all your intimate communal relationships I.e. school mates or neighbors(people your basically stuck with inside the system) discourage your unorthodox learning or just learning in general that will stunt growth, crime within the systems is also a factor, but more so lack of values & antiquated orthodox values of formal paths sociologically enforced upon people who are not necessarily fit for that along with any deviation being mocked among other more malevolent social responses really does a number on people who care about who there around, relatively poor(in the west) immigrant’s or Jews still do extremely well while being poor, I don’t think that’s a accident instead a value for hard work & education in general. The “don’t be white” (meaning stay in your economic box) phenomenon in the African American communities is a example of this, tall poppy syndrome is real within communities with impoverished super-structures.
Wouldn't it be amazing if it was actually Indonesian strategy to NOT be seen by the world?
Unfortunately it wasn’t. Seperti kata pak Gita di video ini, Indonesian are a little to content with mediocrity. Tidak ambisius sperti China dan India. Terlihat dari banyaknya yg kuliah di LN. Indonesia really good about one thing, kata2 kasar di medsos, and only care about one thing; religion. Sad but true
@@alanabloom1229 religion di bagian bumi manapun itu part of civilization dan g bs dipisahin. Kalau itu komoditi yg lg happening di indo, knp g dijual sj ke market pasar dgn teknologi yg sdh ad. Orang jaman dlu mgkn berfikir abisin duit buat liat orang joget2 adalah hal yg bodoh dan buang2 waktu, tp itu realita yg terjadi di korea dan bkin negara itu maju
Slow and steady wins the race. Don't feel too bad, if you follow other countries, you guys (Indonesia) can be doing loads worse. So good job on how you guys are doing so far.
I'm personally hopeful India smashes this geopolitical race, but we shall see how this all plays out.
Great channel! I hope you don't sell out like Fareed Zakaria.
What help did Finns get during continuation war? Does it really apply here?
Pak Gita bahas chat gpt
There is evidence that books are not only here to stay, but a growing business. According to Mark P Mills (The Cloud Revolution), book sales continue to grow while e-book sales have stagnated. Perhaps there really is something special about the book as a design that best fits a need and preference. I remember many pundits predicting that the book would be obsolete by now. To use Niall's vernacular, this is a mug's game. Will AI change this at some point? I doubt it. There is no sign that AI will alter the face-to-face teaching paradigm, at least if Covid lockdown is an indicator. The facts are clear: learning via Zoom was a dismal failure. Will it get better? Who knows? One thing about people is, human intelligence is not even vaguely like AI and it's not like we don't know this. Books just may be the preferred way to "read" and learn, along with first rate teachers. The former are fecund; the latter are the endangered species. I doubt if AI can fix this mismatch; it's up to sentient beings, like us. AI is not an answer to human failing; it is an answer to human limitation. There is a big difference.
I actually go to twitter for true and moderation ...minus a few plane flights vids
"We have to have decentralized power like the legal system"
What do you think of the "lawfare" currently targeting Trump?
Mercenaries get paid!
Man Utd!!!
Pak Gita, mohon izin mengambil beberpa menit/detik konten Bapak untuk saya upload ulang. Apakah boleh Pak?
Absolutely on the book front - it will create a gap between the few intelligent people and the hordes of low level consumption driven masses
Do you not think the discouragement by your supposed “masses” will make a difference? I also hope your not as self righteous as you seem to me based off your comment, not everyone is intellectually interested that’s ok, just like being intellectually interested is.
❤️🇮🇩❤️
AI is the next thing, replacing crypto/blockchain scams.
Someone ask Niall why he can't go into politics now... great men like him want to be tested yet lie to themselves that it is not their best destiny
Niall may wanna stick to history.
He is rather off the mark when he speaks about:
COVID
Israel
Iran
etc.
Stable currency? Is he joking? People benefit? Is he a joker?
BTS😂
Hi am really trying to listen - but he he so unbearably vane and self-applauding - it' unbearable. What's his problem?
