Dan added so much to the conversation, he made it fantastically stimulating. The playful poking he did, really got Yuval to phrase his ideas very differently. Thanks for this, guys. Loved the discussion.
I bet you live in Canada and most of your people will drag us who oppose this shit right into it since you're all addicted to and obsessed with technology, Thanks, well not really!
I live average life with average people earning average wage and pay average bills and somehow i am watching this extraordinary discussion. It is so refreshing. 2017 was three years ago. Mind blowing; one ability to speak in such a volume and depth and richness..i can not get enough. It is so complex. It is valuable but it wont save human race from self destruction
I have watched dozens of Yuval’s videos This is the first time I saw him carefully phrase his words Pushing him out of comfort zone actually resulted in great answers Thank you very much Dan
I agree that he was made to look into his own valid assumptions and seek more clarity on what his research as a historian of humans, to come out with more scepticism, than being defensive, as in normal debates! Simply original and profound to make us to think & think to search for better answers for the present context & its contradictions, we face as humans and as thinking Society 👍👍🎉 Your are really a refreshing thinker of 21st Century!! ❤️👍
This man and his kabbal are truly evil this is not a conspiracy theory they openly talk about it they dont fear the people they want to subjugate us and bring us into serfdom through technocracy authoritarianship all in the name of conveniance and "we know best mentality " The WEF and those behind it are the single biggest threat the wolrd has seen in a long time. They have successfuly persuaded or esatblisued their own govements in the west and all their policys are being implemented under our noses without a single vote from the people.
It is a really entertaining chat between two tycoons of social science. Ariely successfully pushes Harari out of his comfort zone, trying to get new things of him, and some statements on his personal standpoint on religion. Entirely fair: given that Harari dedicated his second book to what seems to have been his meditation teacher, and he had just made a vegan statement at the beginning. It's good to see Harari dealing with both transcendental questions and some just as unsettling as "What is your favourite Joke?". Both guys are quite authentic, none of them easy going and show men. It's a blessing to have them around.

I love this. Two great thinkers from the same place in the world but with completely different styles, approaches and outlooks. Beautiful contrast. I tend to lean toward Harari's stoicism over Ariely's sanguine-ness, but both are wonderful.
Hmm...I really enjoyed this discussion and got a bit surprised seeing the comments. Yes Ariely was a bit mocking but if you heard his other talks he has this kind of humor and Harari took it as lightheartedly as it was meant I guess. I don't see your problem.
as someone who has read Harari's book and taken Dan's irrationality course, I can firmly say whatever rudeness some may sense is more a reflection about themselves - these are two world experts (so naturally a bit opinionated) agreeing and disagreeing on things with a bit of humor and the proverbial pulling of the leg; don't take stubborn sides and groupthink people - ideas no matter how good you may perceive left unchallenged become dogmas and ideologies
fucking yes man... totally agree with you. People here are like seeing the conversation with a competitive filter, and that keeps out the reality, two intelligent persons being natural and at the same time professional.
+rockersamurai Dude it's not challenging somebody intellectually for arielly to interrupt with stupid remarks that could've derailed things many times. Surprisingly I found it a really good interview. Yuval was really good.
@@xkorpy3 i dont see any wisdom in the host, dan, is it his name? clearly Yuval and Dan have different scale of perspective/horizon. a waste of one hour of mine.
There are lot of comments bashing Dan Ariely although he is clearly not just an interviewer. Yuval Harari is a great teacher, I would argue maybe even better and more important than Ariely. But if I was to chose between them for a mentor it would always be Ariely. I think he made some nice challenges to Yuval Harari and also exposed him a bit in a new way. There is no question that Harari has many answers that are based on statistics and empiric from history but he is behaving like an robot in a way. It seems that is what Dan Ariely was trying to tell him especially with the last question about the "best joke". It looks like Harary was aware of that the moment he stoped speaking. It was like he was saying to him You are a great wise man and You brought us summaries about so much regarding inteligence, consciousness , life , meaning and everything else and yet still it seems that You haven't really experienced it, being a human... There is an other interview in which Harari says that to him happiness is expanding knowledge and understanding truth and reality. But maybe that is not enough. Maybe we also need to intensely live it.
At first I thought Dan was being arrogant, but then I remembered that Israelis love to argue - and I realised Dan was just trying to push Yuval into a more behavioural day to day point of view. Love both these guys!
i am surprised that a lot of the people commenting are fans of Yuval but have no idea about Dan. They are having a great conversation. it sounds a bit off at first but when you start listening to the two they both have different colored inputs that make up for a great mix.
Yeah, strongly biased and opinionated people typically gets more fame and attention than real researchers and scientists. This is why Yuval is known but Dan Ariely is not. Dan's work is fantastic, but no one knows. Shame.
@@calysagora3615 I reject your assessment. Dan comes from a primarily leftist perspective and Yuval is a centrist...or apolitical, to be more accurate.
This was perhaps the most engaging and interesting discussion Prof Yuval has been recently into. Dan is such a wonderful thinker and speaker, he surely made this a fun discourse. Two great minds engaging, loved it.
I was gonna say correction, One brilliant mind. Dan Ariely does useful serious research for humanity and has made many many excellent lectures on human interaction and patterns of the human mind, Harari pushes agendas, throws his religious and cultural biases around worse than american presidents, and write low-level dubious stories about humanity. How is that brilliant? I am yet to watch read or listen to anything from Harari that makes me go "Aha". Huge difference here.
There seems to be a lot of Jewish humor in this which escapes us heathen. Something about the perfect argument. Good arguing style, too. The using the "depressed" label is really a joke. Harari's body language is eloquent enough to the contrary. Very enjoyable talk. Good job by Ariely to lure Harari away from his pre-meditated lectures.
I was told the end game. It is selective parenting. The 133 investment families that established IMF and run the macro-economic system to their benefit disagree on quite a bit. Actually everything but one and that is selective parenting. She said the goal is all babies are fixed at birth. I wonder if these "elites" who THINK technology will always be there have thought about a solar flare. They have no idea what the future will looks like yet have it all planned out for us. This guy has said when the catastrophe strikes they need to step in with a global authoritarian rule. The same old recycled bullshit with a new coat of paint. Money changers control the serfs. If he sees us as animals we are expendable as long as we don't suffer? Well euthanasia does that. The things that have made societies secure and cooperative are nation-states, communities and the ability to provide for our families. He like many modern academics see humans as a cancer not something wonderful. They also go to Davos once a year Those who seek to control the world destroy it. There have ALWAYS been those who control things largely through deception and I see him as no different. I would venture to bet he is a loyalist to one of these families the narrative is to close to what they say is GOING to happen. Those who believe they will tax them or bring about change need to understand they've survived for 86 generations. They are semi-autnotomous and global and literally above the law. They feel nation-states have outlived their usefulness and believe in corporate installed Oligarchies. ( That is the definition of a Globalist in the true sense, those who believe in corporate installed Oligarchies over nation-states.) As I stated before he is either in one of these families or is a loyalist pushing their agenda. You can bet their 100 estates and opulent lifestyles will not change but ours will. She flat admitted man-made Climate Change is BS but they make billions of of the idea there fore promote it until recently. She said it is getting in the way of real science and has created to many soldiers marching and beating their drums for the cause. I was open to the idea until she told me the flat truth. I do see their family publications haven't stopped promoting the idea. This isn't to say pollution garbage and human waste isn't a problem because it is. It just isn't CO2 emissions but the Titans of Industry make billions off of exchanging carbon credits and have the added bonus of knocking out smaller competion. They couldn't get people to stop having children if they told the flat truth. Like he pointed out humans need a story..... I have a story. They are making economic zones and she said nation-states were created as a way to serve the banks and commerce. Beast of the Earth will soon be arising as they will be merging the 3 central banks of North America. Asia is the third that will coalesce in about 10 years. The bible doesn't mention the third so either it is irrelevant in creating the cashless society or things are going to start moving quickly but those idiots that wrote this 2,000 years ago were just backward homo sapiens that needed a story...
Xd+Teri Cottone You do know what the Book of Daniel says? And Revelation? People love to try to take the Bible and distort and lie about it. Do you like the agenda being pushed today? Do anything for money, Sex with everything, POPULATION CONTROL? How about Shariah and FGM, why now, there's Jonathan AC Brown right there at Georgetown University teaching that Slavery is MORAL because Mohamed owned slaves and you can't be more morally mature than that. NO DOGS FOR YOU. CONCUBINES KIDNAPPING CHILD RAPE. ETC. Shame you bash Biblical Knowledge when it clearly outlines human behavior and human history. The evil inclination of the heart is still with us in this day.
Irma Walter Well, I don't think it was Jewish humour (partly because I am not Jewish and I still understood it ). It was just humour. I think Dan Ariely represented a caricaturised version of "everyday common sense" as a contrast to Harari's careful, well thought out, academic speaking style to get original answers.
This turned out to be more of a "debate" with Dan Ariely showing off his experiments and challenging Yuval Harari of his ignorance of humans' irrational behaviour. From the MBTI perspective, Ariely is a Feeling type (ESF) while Harari is a Thinking type (INT), and they both tackle issues differently. Haha! I have more faith in historians than in social psychologists. The part 21:30 to 23:55 is spot on!
Even not so surprising to see how superficial and biased most people are when it comes to those they praise and attack. You can see in comments that those who like Mr. Harari (never mind the reasons) simply attack and criticise Mr. Ariely, though, Harari keeps giving cliche, easy and prepared responses. It's depressing that even when it comes to scholars and intellectuals, people still treat the same way they would have, in case of their favourite musicians or phone brands! Please just analyse for yourselves. Read (if you don't mind!) and watch different scholars with different perspectives and form an idea for yourself. People like praising those they know, those they are comfortable with and have accepted in advance, and sadly most of them don't even listen to their opposite sides properly.
I've been on a binge of Yuval's conversations, and I believe this one is still the best one to date. Dan did an amazing job of taking his mind to new places.
Harari is in a different league from Ariely but even as he thinks in a big way about the big problems in the long- term he does not deny himself a lot of 'cheap shots' warmly applauded by the herd-crowd. His remark about the Bible which is a foundation-document for all human religious, moral and literary understanding is a good example of this.
It's so funny that they couldn't tell each other that they were talking about different things with the words "power" and "control". One was thinking about Foucault's theory while the other one was thinking about human beings overcoming helplessness in life.
43:00 if the meaning of life does not come on the shape of a story, what shape does it take? Can anyone illuminate me and tell me if he had said more about it? Or if other people have? Thank you!
Marka Biti Great question. I guess we all have to start small with whatever story we have. But then slowly start expanding so the story grows and becomes more complex
I truly believe Yuval's opinion about the true motives of science is accurate, the largest research funds go to academic areas which offer value in the form of control, and very little go to places that offer no control or control about unprofitable domains; e.g: the social sciences usually don't get as much funding as the more hardcore sciences (STEM) because they either offer little control or control over unprofitable domains.
Two great minds interacting in an elegant and humorous manner about some incredibly important subjects. Bravo to both Dan and Noah for your their willingness to be open and play with each other!
It was a great conversation, but I found myself so disappointed when Mr. Ariely pulled it away from Mr. Harari's discussion of the role of stories and our sense of wanting to find one that gives our lives meaning -- he was never able to get to how he resolved this desire without being depressed by not finding meaning in the larger stories of existence that science reveals to us. Does anyone know where Mr. Harari addresses this elsewhere online or in his writings? That and the intriguing discussion of science as mainly aimed at control -- without much room to discuss the moral implications of this were both interesting beginnings of conversations I could have listened to for many more hours.
In minute 12:25 Mr. Ariely mentioned the experiment of analyzing collaboration. I would challenge or suggest him, doing the same experiment changing money for other asset. Basically trying to avoid the additional forces that money creates, or imply. I used term additional forces, because we have been trained to believe money will solve all our problems, so our reaction to loose or win money is different in comparison to other asset. For this reason I would suggest to use other asset, to see if human collaboration swing as easy as Mr. Ariely mentioned.
Mr. Harari is as eloquent and intelligent as ever... the interviewer however is obviously very intimidated by Yuval. He is so passive aggressive and competitive. Perhaps it is a cultural thing... nonetheless Yuval is so grounded and mature that it all moves right through him and he nails the points again and again. He is an Olympic thinker:)
What a great dialogue between Dan and Yuval - the one challenged the other in a way that illuminates our individual differences including at an intellectual and spiritual level.
Ariely's resistance to Harari's idea that religion and science represent order and control betray his blindness beyond insular psychology. The brilliance of Harari is his ability to describe and step out of the "story" we all live in that is both elevating and fictitious.. So disappointed that he couldn't think of one joke though.
lets us not forget the crux of the problems come from the fact there are to many people on the planet. Why are we not globally not doing anything about this?
Science is about gaining power. Wow. I remember from "Sapiens" his idea about science as an activity of the empire, but this word choice is much more striking.
Your future isn't his to dictate. This is what he does every time you listen. His will being the rule is what he's covertly charming your mind into accepting as the status quo. It's not his place to dictate your future.
Dan as a palliative care physician I face this question many times a month people face serious diseases, extremely difficult treatments that are prolonged surgeries, toxic medications, unending rehabilitation. Some accept the journey and some decline it. I think the more you can think in future and more clearly you understand how certain your quality of life is going to get affected long term makes a difference in decision. Buddha became Buddha because he could feel the suffering of others. Most educated people who can think in terms of quality of life and have had a decent life are ready stay thanks but no. Those, who however have milestones to reach, engagement, marriage , graduation, childbirth, a milestone birthday anniversary or look forward to someone coming and seeing them everyday tend to hold on. Harare is not depressed. But you my friend I think are profoundly affected by the incident. To be fair , You would not be human if you weren’t . I am very avid reader of your book writings and talks. Stay well and keep on doing the good work that you do !
Good work, to you transhumanism and manipulating controlling the human brain is good work. No he’s not depressed he’s living it as humanity is opressed.
Well of course the main value of science is power. To the extent that information (and therefore the truth) IS power. If you're curious and well informed (you know the truth), you're powerful. They are both closely linked together. That's all there is to the discussion. Information IS power. And power can be both good or bad, some people use their power for very good reasons and goals, some other use it for horrific ones. Science seeks the truth and therefore grants power to anyone curious enough to find it. That is it and there is nothing wrong with it either.
He used the word "control", but yeah, exactly, control or power is a result, but not the aim or agenda of science. It was a meaningless statement that most swallowed as some revelation here. LOL.
So far it seems like one person is speaking on a global scale, the other is in a more narrow scale - basically focusing on the US or even specifically their current government
well done to Yuval for keeping going through that. it was good that that Ariely pushed him on purpose of life; that is an area I hope very much Harari spends time on in future. p.s. Ezra Kleins' is a good Harari interview.
As unexpected disruptive challenge or any significant change can't be taken over put an effect on our life, single entity is not allowed with resolution or stepping forward until others are participating collaboratively how powerful or influenceful it is. As money is one of impressive instrument evaluated at the modern society, people with success embody how rich they are. As for committing suicide, one is suffering from framed reality and one is desperately devouring wrecked news spread over. How desperate he may locked in, he keeps in meaningless life and he looks for alternatives for him to escape. Religion is spotting on someone because he wants someone over people to forgive his sins. As disruptive challenges, e.g. intelligence artificial make people afraid or threat to our value, we more rely on our imagination and creativity.
It’s always stimulating to read/ listen each of these minds individually. Watching them interact is twice as stimulating, even when they don’t agree on something (such as the optimism-pessimism dilemma they spent some time exploring). Ariely is a scientist and Harari is a philosopher. Science requires proof. But science couldn’t happen without philosophy. And philosophy is not optimistic nor pessimistic. There was an opportunity to spend more time exploring each’s field without the confrontation. Still stimulating.
interviewer is too busy thinking of what to say next to actually listen. The issue with Yuval is that few people can keep up with him to be able to properly interview him
Why? Yuvul says he didn't recognize he was gay till he was 20 something. Confused much? I mean "recognize" or programmed to be? He's a pencil neck weakling, never good at anything physical and has wet dreams about putting on an Iron man suit so he can "kick ass". Look at him. Bald, thin wrists, upper arms the same girth as the wrists...just a weak human being with the mind of a child watching cartoons. Feel sorry for him, and pray, because his awakening is going to be very painful for him...before he ceases to exist again.
I was at this discussion and the entire audience around me seemed to also be quite annoyed with this interviewer. He was the absolute worst. Kudos to Yuval for drudging through it.
Read the comment below yours for some enlightenment. Prasant gets it. Yuvalu is a boooring monologist with a bias, and needed some poking. Try listening to Dan's lectures to understand more.
Hi yuval, how the meditation change your day to day life ?, it make you more apathetic person - control your emotions ? (1) Are and how you deal with disrupts things like bad habits (2) ? and in other subject. how do you deal with the lack of anonymity ? because of saying your truth you are not afraid of struggle with Interest groups and governments? (3)
Of the 7+ billion we are, I don't know how many hace access to internet. Half? In any case, for a lot of people it would be easier with English subtitles. Any suggestion?
07:00 As for the correlation of climate change denial and conservative thinkers, one could also argue to the contrary: "The purpose of a thing is what it does" (Stafford Beer). Climate change prevention, as it has been emphasized in recent years, goes in the direction of global governance. This may be the reason why it has been adopted by those who seek global powers.
+Irma though nations should really be able to work together and agree to some rule that is fair and reasonable without it having to be a global governing body. There could be voluntarily agreed upon things between nations.. like responsible nations have leaders that gather together and agree individually to control themselves. Rather than a bullying entity like the UN full of nasty gangs that votes against a country that has less voting power.
How about states and nations are IMAGINARY concepts, and only HUMANS can get along voluntarily. Nations/states per definition are NOT voluntary for the HUMANS suffering under them. (Taxation is theft by any other name). How about HUMANS get along voluntarily, and SCRAP nations, governments, religions, cultures and any other false and imaginary authorities, so we could finally have peace, prosparity and a rational and empirical base for getting along. Google voluntaryism.
The story is: we're here to Groove as One. Technology has clarified our purpose. Successful communities, through-out all cultures, have had a communal gathering that incorporated musical bonding. Our global community needs some proliferating. Instincts are said to do as such! Globally empowered, T,he One will begin with coincidences, growing with the number of Groovists, into miracles!! Groovism is the new digital religion!!
Dan added so much to the conversation, he made it fantastically stimulating. The playful poking he did, really got Yuval to phrase his ideas very differently. Thanks for this, guys. Loved the discussion.

I disagree, in fact, the opposite
I bet you live in Canada and most of your people will drag us who oppose this shit right into it since you're all addicted to and obsessed with technology, Thanks, well not really!

How about Shariah and FGM, why now, there's Jonathan AC Brown right there at Georgetown University teaching that Slavery is MORAL because Mohamed owned slaves and you can't be more morally mature than that. NO DOGS FOR YOU. CONCUBINES KIDNAPPING CHILD RAPE. ETC. Shame you bash Biblical Knowledge when it clearly outlines human behavior and human history. The evil inclination of the heart is still with us in this day.

Well, I don't think it was Jewish humour (partly because I am not Jewish and I still understood it ). It was just humour. I think Dan Ariely represented a caricaturised version of "everyday common sense" as a contrast to Harari's careful, well thought out, academic speaking style to get original answers.
The last frame of the video:
1:08:13
Yuval greets in the Indian style with a namaste!!
Probably the influence of his Vipassana teacher S N Goenka.
This is the first interview I have seen on RUclips in which the interviewer speaks more than the interviewee.
Macro vs micro
I agree with you.
Thinker vs Feeler
“When you really think big, most stories collapse.”
This turned out to be more of a "debate" with Dan Ariely showing off his experiments and challenging Yuval Harari of his ignorance of humans' irrational behaviour. From the MBTI perspective, Ariely is a Feeling type (ESF) while Harari is a Thinking type (INT), and they both tackle issues differently. Haha! I have more faith in historians than in social psychologists. The part 21:30 to 23:55 is spot on!
Even not so surprising to see how superficial and biased most people are when it comes to those they praise and attack. You can see in comments that those who like Mr. Harari (never mind the reasons) simply attack and criticise Mr. Ariely, though, Harari keeps giving cliche, easy and prepared responses. It's depressing that even when it comes to scholars and intellectuals, people still treat the same way they would have, in case of their favourite musicians or phone brands!
Please just analyse for yourselves. Read (if you don't mind!) and watch different scholars with different perspectives and form an idea for yourself.
People like praising those they know, those they are comfortable with and have accepted in advance, and sadly most of them don't even listen to their opposite sides properly.
I've been on a binge of Yuval's conversations, and I believe this one is still the best one to date. Dan did an amazing job of taking his mind to new places.
Harari is in a different league from Ariely but even as he thinks in a big way about the big problems in the long- term he does not deny himself a lot of 'cheap shots' warmly applauded by the herd-crowd. His remark about the Bible which is a foundation-document for all human religious, moral and literary understanding is a good example of this.
Interesting interview. The interviewer is wise and handled the interview well.
Yuval is SO smart!
It's so funny that they couldn't tell each other that they were talking about different things with the words "power" and "control". One was thinking about Foucault's theory while the other one was thinking about human beings overcoming helplessness in life.
Two exceedingly brilliant minds discuss human perspective brilliantly! Kudos to both!
Beautiful start. ❤️
Yuval , thank you so much for this, you were awesome !
Yuval Harari is next level!
43:00 if the meaning of life does not come on the shape of a story, what shape does it take? Can anyone illuminate me and tell me if he had said more about it? Or if other people have? Thank you!
Marka Biti
Great question. I guess we all have to start small with whatever story we have. But then slowly start expanding so the story grows and becomes more complex
@@dr.ksartplace3785 thank you for your reply. Your reply is thst it's still in the form of a story though :p
I truly believe Yuval's opinion about the true motives of science is accurate, the largest research funds go to academic areas which offer value in the form of control, and very little go to places that offer no control or control about unprofitable domains; e.g: the social sciences usually don't get as much funding as the more hardcore sciences (STEM) because they either offer little control or control over unprofitable domains.
maybe less funds isn't necessarilly a bad thing?
Two great minds interacting in an elegant and humorous manner about some incredibly important subjects. Bravo to both Dan and Noah for your their willingness to be open and play with each other!
This is a great interview. I like that it's a discussion with both parties challenging each other, rather than a passive interview.
It was a great conversation, but I found myself so disappointed when Mr. Ariely pulled it away from Mr. Harari's discussion of the role of stories and our sense of wanting to find one that gives our lives meaning -- he was never able to get to how he resolved this desire without being depressed by not finding meaning in the larger stories of existence that science reveals to us. Does anyone know where Mr. Harari addresses this elsewhere online or in his writings? That and the intriguing discussion of science as mainly aimed at control -- without much room to discuss the moral implications of this were both interesting beginnings of conversations I could have listened to for many more hours.
In minute 12:25 Mr. Ariely mentioned the experiment of analyzing collaboration. I would challenge or suggest him, doing the same experiment changing money for other asset. Basically trying to avoid the additional forces that money creates, or imply. I used term additional forces, because we have been trained to believe money will solve all our problems, so our reaction to loose or win money is different in comparison to other asset. For this reason I would suggest to use other asset, to see if human collaboration swing as easy as Mr. Ariely mentioned.
Brilliant conversation.
Very compelling and enlightening , especially on Taking RESPONSIBILITY. Thank you very much.
Mr. Harari is as eloquent and intelligent as ever... the interviewer however is obviously very intimidated by Yuval. He is so passive aggressive and competitive. Perhaps it is a cultural thing... nonetheless Yuval is so grounded and mature that it all moves right through him and he nails the points again and again. He is an Olympic thinker:)
Dan intimidated by Yuval? ROTFLMAO.
It's VERY clear how few commenters have ANY clue who Dan is or what he does. Pathetic.
What a great dialogue between Dan and Yuval - the one challenged the other in a way that illuminates our individual differences including at an intellectual and spiritual level.
Yuval is great !!!!
The faithful love of the LORD never ends His mercies never cease.
Lamentations 3:22
I heard one of ways to constraint the selfishness and enhance the collaboration is to put everyone in the same boat.
What was written on Dan's t-shirt ? "Bad choices make good... " How does it end ?
Good Stories ;)
Ariely's resistance to Harari's idea that religion and science represent order and control betray his blindness beyond insular psychology. The brilliance of Harari is his ability to describe and step out of the "story" we all live in that is both elevating and fictitious.. So disappointed that he couldn't think of one joke though.
This a top class conversation.
Empathy is the key out of the mass capitalism have created!
lets us not forget the crux of the problems come from the fact there are to many people on the planet. Why are we not globally not doing anything about this?
Great conversation! I just don't understand why, a psychologist like Dan Ariely, could walk behind and ahead of his guest at the end?!!
Wonderful
interview, it's a shame that you do not have the possibility to perform
the simultaneous captioning of subtitles to other languages.
Science is about gaining power. Wow. I remember from "Sapiens" his idea about science as an activity of the empire, but this word choice is much more striking.
Concebir como tener el control como fin de la ciencia está limitado. Por otro lado, Dan Ariely es tan ameno! Ahora si leeré los libros de Yuval y Dan.
Your future isn't his to dictate. This is what he does every time you listen. His will being the rule is what he's covertly charming your mind into accepting as the status quo. It's not his place to dictate your future.
Dan as a palliative care physician I face this question many times a month people face serious diseases, extremely difficult treatments that are prolonged surgeries, toxic medications, unending rehabilitation. Some accept the journey and some decline it. I think the more you can think in future and more clearly you understand how certain your quality of life is going to get affected long term makes a difference in decision.
Buddha became Buddha because he could feel the suffering of others.
Most educated people who can think in terms of quality of life and have had a decent life are ready stay thanks but no.
Those, who however have milestones to reach, engagement, marriage , graduation, childbirth, a milestone birthday anniversary or look forward to someone coming and seeing them everyday tend to hold on.
Harare is not depressed. But you my friend I think are profoundly affected by the incident. To be fair , You would not be human if you weren’t . I am very avid reader of your book writings and talks. Stay well and keep on doing the good work that you do !
Good work, to you transhumanism and manipulating controlling the human brain is good work. No he’s not depressed he’s living it as humanity is opressed.
What does Dan's shirt say?
Dan is amazing
Thank you 🙏
Well of course the main value of science is power. To the extent that information (and therefore the truth) IS power. If you're curious and well informed (you know the truth), you're powerful. They are both closely linked together. That's all there is to the discussion. Information IS power. And power can be both good or bad, some people use their power for very good reasons and goals, some other use it for horrific ones. Science seeks the truth and therefore grants power to anyone curious enough to find it. That is it and there is nothing wrong with it either.
He used the word "control", but yeah, exactly, control or power is a result, but not the aim or agenda of science. It was a meaningless statement that most swallowed as some revelation here. LOL.
Yuval Harari and Jordan Peterson conversation would be interesting to watch. Very different perspectives on stories, myth, and reality.
So far it seems like one person is speaking on a global scale, the other is in a more narrow scale - basically focusing on the US or even specifically their current government
totally agree. he is So annoying.
Why i cant play with subtitles
It's a better interview because he doesn't just agree with Yuval, like many of the others out there.
I love this interview so funny 😄
Yuval's intellect is way ahead of Dan
Or quite the opposite really. But you know nothing about Dan, as most other ignorant commenters here.
well done to Yuval for keeping going through that.
it was good that that Ariely pushed him on purpose of life; that is an area I hope very much Harari spends time on in future.
p.s. Ezra Kleins' is a good Harari interview.
-"I thought the answer was 42"
-"I will get to that"

Never gets back to it again :'( can you please tell me more?
As unexpected disruptive challenge or any significant change can't be taken over put an effect on our life, single entity is not allowed with resolution or stepping forward until others are participating collaboratively how powerful or influenceful it is. As money is one of impressive instrument evaluated at the modern society, people with success embody how rich they are. As for committing suicide, one is suffering from framed reality and one is desperately devouring wrecked news spread over. How desperate he may locked in, he keeps in meaningless life and he looks for alternatives for him to escape. Religion is spotting on someone because he wants someone over people to forgive his sins. As disruptive challenges, e.g. intelligence artificial make people afraid or threat to our value, we more rely on our imagination and creativity.
It’s always stimulating to read/ listen each of these minds individually. Watching them interact is twice as stimulating, even when they don’t agree on something (such as the optimism-pessimism dilemma they spent some time exploring). Ariely is a scientist and Harari is a philosopher. Science requires proof. But science couldn’t happen without philosophy. And philosophy is not optimistic nor pessimistic. There was an opportunity to spend more time exploring each’s field without the confrontation. Still stimulating.
Dan Ariely = social science = do not use that word = because feelings
interviewer is too busy thinking of what to say next to actually listen. The issue with Yuval is that few people can keep up with him to be able to properly interview him
Why? Yuvul says he didn't recognize he was gay till he was 20 something. Confused much? I mean "recognize" or programmed to be? He's a pencil neck weakling, never good at anything physical and has wet dreams about putting on an Iron man suit so he can "kick ass". Look at him. Bald, thin wrists, upper arms the same girth as the wrists...just a weak human being with the mind of a child watching cartoons. Feel sorry for him, and pray, because his awakening is going to be very painful for him...before he ceases to exist again.
I was at this discussion and the entire audience around me seemed to also be quite annoyed with this interviewer. He was the absolute worst. Kudos to Yuval for drudging through it.
Read the comment below yours for some enlightenment. Prasant gets it. Yuvalu is a boooring monologist with a bias, and needed some poking. Try listening to Dan's lectures to understand more.
It is a conversation, not an interview. Now you know.
I never perceived Ariely to be one. So subtle, yet effective and easily deniable. Wow...
Sapiens is great book... I will recommend parts of it to my students.
Hi yuval, how the meditation change your day to day life ?, it make you more apathetic person - control your emotions ? (1) Are and how you deal with disrupts things like bad habits (2) ? and in other subject. how do you deal with the lack of anonymity ? because of saying your truth you are not afraid of struggle with Interest groups and governments? (3)
Harari is legit a Nietzscheian. Nice.
TeapotRussel I'm inclined to agree but why exactly do you say that?
His genealogy of the scientific revolution and the general analysis of power structures within knowledge is almost identical to Nietzsche's
Great combination of thinkers
"Fake News has been with us for a thousands of years, just think of the Bible......." - I burst out laughing when he said this.
Of the 7+ billion we are, I don't know how many hace access to internet. Half? In any case, for a lot of people it would be easier with English subtitles. Any suggestion?
36:32 but wait.. how does a quadriplegic commit suicide?
🤣🤣nice observation
"Sadly enough, most people just never get the joke." xD
07:00 As for the correlation of climate change denial and conservative thinkers, one could also argue to the contrary: "The purpose of a thing is what it does" (Stafford Beer). Climate change prevention, as it has been emphasized in recent years, goes in the direction of global governance. This may be the reason why it has been adopted by those who seek global powers.
+Irma though nations should really be able to work together and agree to some rule that is fair and reasonable without it having to be a global governing body. There could be voluntarily agreed upon things between nations.. like responsible nations have leaders that gather together and agree individually to control themselves. Rather than a bullying entity like the UN full of nasty gangs that votes against a country that has less voting power.
How about states and nations are IMAGINARY concepts, and only HUMANS can get along voluntarily. Nations/states per definition are NOT voluntary for the HUMANS suffering under them. (Taxation is theft by any other name). How about HUMANS get along voluntarily, and SCRAP nations, governments, religions, cultures and any other false and imaginary authorities, so we could finally have peace, prosparity and a rational and empirical base for getting along. Google voluntaryism.
Ariely on statistics, Harari on unstructured learning
Final part is the best...😂
"Most people do not get the joke"
"The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?" Jeremiah the prophet
A breath of the purest air! Such minds and hearts. Dan brought out the very best in Yuval - back to earth. Thank you!
Marcelo is right about this interview!! Wasting Everybody's time , still Harari managed to make some smart statement to make up for this mass.!
The future is going to be full of good stories and bad choices XD
what happens to the hosts hands
DAN HIJACKED THE TALK!
Erease everything. We need blank slates to write our newest ideas. They're not just mere fictions: they are the spitting Truth. Obey, now.
The story is: we're here to Groove as One. Technology has clarified our purpose. Successful communities, through-out all cultures, have had a communal gathering that incorporated musical bonding. Our global community needs some proliferating. Instincts are said to do as such! Globally empowered, T,he One will begin with coincidences, growing with the number of Groovists, into miracles!! Groovism is the new digital religion!!
this is the best thing ever
This Dan....spoke more than the guest.? Questions to"stay" in camera...more time ?
He will be mentioned with Newton and Einstein.
