  • Why is the 'New Right' turning on conservative traditions? Why are conspiracy theories so potent? Why don't humans use wealth and technology in ways that benefit humanity? Renowned historian and 'Sapiens' author Yuval Noah Harari tackles those questions in an extended discussion with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, who asks Harari about his scholarship, its applications, recent AI developments and criticism of Harari's writing. The discussion also covers how history is written and interpreted, storytelling and 'fictions' as a force in society, including 'money' as a fiction; the implications of evolution and Neanderthal DNA; the existence and meaning of God; the enduring impact of America's 'founding fathers'; and Harari's views of his own intellectual reach, success and its perils.

      Its hilarious seein a clueless boomer discover long form interviews for the first time in december 2023 and from a pretty mediocre interview in MSNBC of all places. There are thousands better discussions than this one, even with Yuval himself. The interviewer here made some really predicatable and shallow questions... Seriously, you gotta get better informed.

      The intense irony of Harrari, like Goldhagen ("Hitler's Willing Executioners") before him is that both authors correctly identified the building blocks of fascism and genocide, but they could never bring themselves to apply those lessons to the actions of Israel. In the end, they are wonderful humanists - humanly flawed with a blindspot.

      Demand credible evidence before you accept something as believable. No religion has such credible evidence to offer. Never has, never will. Science disciplines have credible evidence and are worthy of belief. Science corrects itself too with more science.

      @@catlady443 There has been much discussion and debate on this issue, apropos not just the tenth but also the seventh. One interesting overview re 7 is in Wiki under "Catholic Church and slavery". Brill has an intellectual expansion re the 10, but there are other sources along the same lines. Bottom line, though, is I am neither religious, nor a scholar in history or philosophy (which I've always found a meandering thought process).

      He's viewing history through a post-modernist perspective, and initially he was fellating himself, lol.
      Most of this has been discussed in the 1960's. "Fictions" are just descriptions of "grand narratives" and his examples of "competing truths" is well integrated into modern academia. His analysis seems to originate from Foucault. He has the bald head and glasses, too, lol.
      Even Ari has to call social structures what they are "social constructs".
      This isn't to crap on post-modernism, it definitely has a place for analysis, however I don't like the idea that it's an original thought and would prefer he use the proper context and vocabulary while discussing the subject.
      It makes it come off as disingenuous and plagiarized.
      At halfway, and he's describing "Post-Modern dialectics" which was borrowed from Marx's "dialectic and historical materialism" by Foucault.
      The only real value from the interview, which lasted less than a few seconds, came from a description of progress as defined by the French Revolution. Particularly around the idea of "liberals" vs "conservatives", where liberals BECOME conservatives as society advances on social issues and the previous conservatives become reactionaries and try to radically change society back to a previous period and culminates into conspiracy theories and capitalization on culturally engrained narratives. It's a major element of fascism.
      Likewise, the inability for liberals, now conservatives, are unable to protect the new conservatism because they don't want change, they want to conserve. So, a new left forms calling for change, so the center can't hold without massive reforms.
      The best part of the interview wasn't even engaged in.

    Yuval Noah Harari show us the simplicity in how to read and understand human in a no complex way. I enjoy his takes.

    This man wrote Sapiens..THEN other extraordinary books...incredible. If you read even a couple chapters of Sapiens you understand what I mean.

      Jordan Peterson is NOT corrupt like this guy... I can't believe these positive comments...very dangerous..... eyes wide closed!
