They left me the freedom to choose what I want to learn and the future I would like to have.

Deviant thinking is stupid when it ignores facts, brilliant when it combines known facts in ways never done before. When somebody ignores the virulence of COVID-19 combined with its comparatively high death rate, or the fact that we still have to wait for a while before vaccination becomes widely available, that's just stupid. When somebody finds a way to use preexisting drugs to reduce severity or fatality of the disease, that's brilliant. When he assumes to have done so before clinical trials have confirmed the hypothesis, that's stupid too. When he continues to advertise a cure after clinical studies have proven it ineffective, that's also stupid. So you see, it's very easy to be stupid, it's quite difficult to be brilliant.

    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

      As a field of study, History concerns itself with what actually happened. Spinning tales about it is the industry of selling books and lecture tours. The man admitted that he cannot tell when and why that inflection point happened, when humans turned modern, some 20, 50, 150,000 years ago. When asked straight up whether he believes his own myths, he waffled that he tries not to, yet could not state a coherent position about existence of objective reality. Poor fellow is stuck wanting to be a scientist, which posits objective observable measurable reality, certainly on the human scale. Yet so mired in the byproducts of post-modernist relativism that can only lean upon not increasing 'suffering' as the guiding light.

      @@walterkarshat8868 That's how science works. People not concerned with science always expect absolute truths from science. That's not something science can give. What science gives is models that seemingly work. Those models, before being declared as "scientific truth" are put to the test, in certain limits. You can't easily do this with historical facts. But what you can do is to identify similar situations throughout history, compare their evolution, analyse the differences in context, and derive a probably correct conclusion about what circumstances lead to a specific outcome. You can, for example, easily say that continuous degradation of education, strong nationalistic feelings and an increasingly corrupt state eventually cause a war, when those things happen in a large and powerful nation, while they just cause a nation to disappear, when they happen inside a small, less powerful nation. But you cannot predict what impact technological evolution might have on the outcome. In Hitler's time, it led to the utter destruction of Germany. Nowadays it might lead to the end of human civilization as we know it.

    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.

      That's why Harari says that it is a privilege and a responsibility for those of us who do have the time and energy to focus on global problems. I have both the time and the energy, and I have a mind that can contain the scope of his thinking, so I feel it is my responsibility to do what others can't.

    • @navnathjagadale421
      @navnathjagadale421 3 года назад

      Ah well, it seems a luxury but it's not. For instance, take an example of global issues like GLOBAL WARMING & NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND WARS .
      1. GLOBAL WARMING:-
      ▪︎temp rise , icebergs melting, sea levels rise, islands and coastal lands sink.
      ▪︎temp rise , atmospheric changes occur , human body temp and mechanism differs from the environmental changes , diseases and disorders bloom
      ▪︎temp rises, seasonal variations more likely tend to change again & again, crops don't have capabilities to cope up with seasonal changes again and again in short time periods, less crop-produce, food scarcity, famine, death
      Many more....
      These are the main points , but we divert ourselves from them and focus on others.

      @navnathjagadale421 3 года назад

      In addition to my previous comment...
      2.NUCLEAR WEAPONS &WARS
      ▪︎More competition , more will for defense budgets, more & more money spent on weapons and defenses., less amount for other services , less facilities over the years, less quality of life.
      UNBREAKABLE WALLS OF DEFENSE OUTSIDE, LESS PROPER RESOURCES TO LIVE , INSIDE

    I think Harari's next book should focus on the mind and the development of emotional intelligence and mental stability, and also the mystery of consciousness. And unlike almost every other public intellectual of today, he does not adhere to the idea that the mind arises from the brain and refers to it as a "dogma".
    The mind and how it can use our technologies to create heaven or hell is such an important subject that I believe it is worth him devoting an entire book to it.

    Hi Yuval,
    I am going to read all your books. Already finished 'Sapiens' and currently reading 'Homo Deus'.

    Three things I've encountered in life that make me feel particularly insignificant...
    Astrophysics...
    Geology...
    ...and Yuval Noah Harari
    But boy am I glad I've encountered all of them...I know my place....and that place is enough.
