    I am Jordanian and also a Muslim Arab (insert stories), I began learning about civics and specifically American democracy just a week before the Israeli protests or demonstration, and I came to appreciate all the ideas of the European Enlightenment period, including those of john locke, and the ideas of the social contract, sovreignty of the People, Seperation of Power, and so much more and most relevant to this topic: the importance for checks and balances between the different segments of goverment (i.e. the ability for the judicial governemnt to "check and balance" the executive governemnt). It's sad to learn about what is happening in Israel and I can understand the frustrations of the people who are demonstarting. Yuval has been a long "look up" in my google search history. I read his book Sapiens when it was just days old. Observing Israel and then seeing Yuval speak in public has inspired me and I can appreciate this content, Lex.. And here I am writing a comment knowing I will be accompanied with anxiety caused by my inner "Stan" that will affect my confidence. Any ways hope who stumbles upon this comment appreciate the necessity to learn about civics and governance especially when attempting to understand these laws, policies, and their History.

    What I really like is that you bring on peole with completely different outlooks on things, for example having had both Harari and Kennedy in the last few weeks. I despise Harari and what he is trying to accomplish for the WEF. But I could be mistaken about him, my perception could be wrong so I will watch this and maybe change my views. It is absolutley crucial that all people can have a voice and be heard and this channel is so valuable because of that.

    Hi, I took some notes with interesting/ novel ideas shared in this episode. I am sharing them below in case someone would like to quickly remind themselves of what was discussed.
    - Difference between Intelligence vs Consciousness (solving problems vs feeling and suffering)
    - Plants hold intelligence
    - Pigs are more intelligent than dogs but convention says dogs have more consciousness
    - What happens when personal relationships with ai make it conventional for some people to believe that the code has consciousness? (ethical problems surrounding legislation)
    - People are superior to other creatures because stories make people connected en masse
    - The most successful story is about money
    - To decide if a story is real, you have to ask if it can feel (a nation cannot feel but the soldiers who died can feel)
    - Ability to suffer as a test for consciousness
    - Danger: anthropomorphization of suffering in AI (eg ai saying “Where have you been! I don’t see anything on your calendar” so jealousy) can hack into our operating system and make us believe that AI suffers - someone can use it to manipulate people
    - Religions are different than other stories (such as nations) because their rules are not amendable
    - Are you a liberal? yes if you agree that people should have:
    - a right to choose their government
    - a right to choose their destiny (profession, personal life)
    - a right to choose their spouse
    - Israel and Palestine: no motivation for a two-state solution on the side of Israel which has grown in power immensely in the last 10 years
    - The development of high-tech surveillance methods meant that the occupation of Palestine became less costly and less bloody
    - Harare claims that the system politicians go for now is a three-tier citizenship system:
    - 1st Jewish Israelis
    - 2nd Arab citizens of Israel
    - 3rd Palestinians living in occupied Palestine
    - peace is always possible but there is a lack of motivation
    - Conspiracy theories: it is impossible for a small group of people to control world events because real history shows us that big groups of people hold a lot of power, do a lot of planning and things still proceed against the plan
    - Introspection (acc to Harari one of the better human qualities) is non-verbal and comprehended through experience
    - Meditation is not relaxing because you cannot predict what stories and memories will come up. Boredom is also tricky because it is connected to feelings of worthlessness. However, the way to peace is through boredom.
    - The most important skill young people need to learn is the skill to keep learning new things. No one can predict what the world will look like in 10 years. Build your mind as a flexible mind.
    - If something goes against the law of nature, it doesn’t exist. The scientific framework for condemning homosexuality doesn’t hold up.
    - Life is feeling things and reacting to them. To understand life you need to observe it in a non-verbal manner. Try to answer “what really is happening when you suffer?”

      @@gaberoyalll I think that missed the point @lublack3236 was making. To be bored has 2 components - the one you pointed at - an inability to engage oneself but also a second and depper meaning - an inability to engage another consciousness/person enough to command their attention. One feels worthless because here you are in a world of 8 billion people and nobody seems to be interested in spending their time with you - speaking generally of course - sure if you are a young attractice woman you can hold someones engagement but with the clear understanding that its transactional. Not sure there's a solution to the second challenge other that deep personal work and societal overhaul.

      Yes, clear communication of a strange reasoning: Sorry, Yuval, your are not right. Life IS a story, a personal one. Your life is no exception and you speak about your story. Human life is so much more than reacting. BTW the human life is very different from that of animals also because we have a personal (hi)stories. When our life is not aligned with the biblical stories, it does not cause their falsity. Do not be afraid of death - the meeting with God your Creator is still there ahead. I would like to talk to you so much in detail and I think I could persuade you about Deity in a single talk. God does not hate anyone.

    I followed Mr. Hararai's presentation when he gives advice on how to think and says what is important for the new generations of people to come. He says that a person must constantly reinvent himself and make changes, I think that is not the way a wise person should go. If you are constantly working changes in yourself and you keep inventing yourself, in fact you always go back to the starting point and keep going around in circles. People need to learn, meditation is also desirable, I also meditate and make notes afterwards, but one thing I want to say is when a person really learns and realizes new things, he does not reinvent himself and must not change, because then he returns to the starting point and rejects the knowledge he has acquired, knowledge must not be erased and reinvented, it must only be built upon and expanded, because no one knows where the limit is our knowledge and we must carefully guard it and not constantly invent ourselves, because in this way they reject the acquired knowledge and fall into the trap that someone else thinks for them and injects them with new knowledge according to their goals and plans.
    So, to conclude - my people, study as much as possible to be as educated as possible and constantly supplement your knowledge and expand it.

    hi @lexfridman . thanks for this incredible conversations you have in this channel.
    about the danger and emotive manipulation AI could apply to "control" us with "stories" and "fiction": i was thinking about narcisists, which could be a kind of "model" to study what an AI could be or do: no emotions only stories on stories on fictions to achieve a cold (im?)personal achievment. We as human are still far from high general and common level of counsciousness and we actually kind of are unaware of narcisism in society, we are full of narcisists in our daily life and many of them are admired and accepted as strong person... the concept of emotions is becoming less and less important and seen as a mere shadow of some sort of weakness to use ... AI could be the final narcisist? are narcisist in the end really counscious being? Narcisist doesn't suffer...Are we sure that those leaders we follow (good or bad) are really mostly all thruthful and not just narcisists who just (by chance) happen to lead specific ideology?? That brings that thing that IDEAS are using us to spread through the easiest and more functional channels: narcisists...

    This was a great conversation.
    I found it particularly interesting that Yuval did not mention the WEF in his exploration of global cabals. He made it seem as if there is no globalist organization “penetrating cabinets” and imposing control over entire gov factions. He made it seem as if global cabals didn’t work with the established and public structures of power around the world. That was disappointing since he is the second in line for WEF and has talked about controlling all people and creating a new religion that can use tech to ensure compliance with the new doctrines of said religion.
    Still, hearing two brilliant minds is always a pleasure.

      Harari certainly isn't "the second in line for WEF" and if/when he talks about "controlling all people and creating a new religion that can use tech to ensure compliance with the new doctrines of said religion" it is to warn. How could you listen to this video and think otherwise? I have read his books and ther is no doubt in my mind about his intentions.

      It absolutely amazed me that Harari did not mention he is a key advisor to Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of the WEF. Even worse is that Lex did not bring this fact up. Obviously, it was pre-planned to leave out one of the most important aspects of Harari's life. This is truly despicable, especially since the WEF has such devious plans to strip most humans of their basic rights. "By 2030 you'll own nothing and be happy." And what is the basic tenet of communism? No private property. CBDCs will allow surveillance of every transaction you make, and the gov't can control how you spend money and on what goods and services. The list of WEF's power-mad plans are mostly public, or can easily be imagined. What are YOU going to do to prevent the travesty of their near-total control over every human life? How can we convince Harari to switch teams and play for the good guys!?

I wonder if this ability is dependent on this story mechanism that Yuval is talking about. I realize that this scenario is quite different, but I'm thinking, I see these images; they have some similarties to "what I expect" to see; and so I'm able to read, despite lacking sufficient information from the image alone. This "what I expect" seems kind of like Yuval's "story".

    Yuval is no better or above anyone else on the planet. He’s his own person, but wants everyone to ultimately live under what he feels is correct. Yet by his own standard we’re all just determined to be a certain way from our nature. So who is he to say anyone else is wrong for believing in something he doesn’t? Leave the rest of the world alone, and create your own space to thrive in if you think we’re all determined to be a certain way. There comes a point where you can’t just blame everyone else for your own issues, when you’re the one who can choose to “free” yourself in the end.

  • @squebler
    @squebler 10 месяцев назад +10

    I was thinking the other day, life is suffering. And after listening to several of Lex's discussions, I noticed a theme of wanting to hang on to some suffering. Like, if we were to eliminate suffering, what would happen? I'm pretty sure we would die very soon after that. Like, most people only go to work because they wish to avoid the suffering of poverty. Why not just stop working? Because then you'll run out of money. Who cares? Why do you need money? To buy food and pay rent. Why do you need those things? To survive. Why do you need to survive? Well, that's sort of like a rewording of "What's the meaning of life?", right?
    It seems to me, we are simply compelled to survive. Could we just quit trying to survive? Is it directly linked to suffering? Well, I think most people would feel fear if they really considered stopping trying to survive. It's sort of the same thing as suicide. Although I guess the phrase "stopping trying to survive" elicits a more peaceful death than "committing suicide".
    But anyway, yeah, I think it's not really that you think you need to survive, but you're driven to survive by the fear of the pains that you would experience if you stopped trying to survive. And you've probably experienced some of these pains. The pain of the cold. The pain of sitting on a hard concrete surface. The pain of a sunburn. The pain of hunger. So if you eliminated all of those sufferings, what would you do?
    I think most people would do something fun, or something they have wanted to do, but didn't because of their fears. Why would you stop and go eat? You might say "so that I can keep having fun"; but then you're really just serving a fear again, to prevent a suffering. The suffering of that fun ending.
    So it seems like suffering is fundamental to intelligence, if the agent is to survive.
    But what about a robot that is simply programmed to survive? Maybe it's programmed with some information about things that can lead to its destruction, as well as some algorithms for learning about other things that can lead to its destruction, and other algorithms to survive. Couldn't it be that it does all that activity and feels nothing? No fear or anxiety or pain?
    And if so, couldn't we remove the pain part of our experience, and only have the intelligent survival?
    What would such an intelligent survival look like? Would you eat candy? You are intelligent, so you know that candy is going to destroy your teeth, and make you fat; and that would decrease your ability to survive; so you would not want to eat the candy. But the candy is pleasurable; so now you have a problem. How do you reconcile it? Well, it seems that the normal human behavior is to eat the candy; so apparently that is more valued in the human nature program, than survival.

    • @xGINGERxBREADx
      @xGINGERxBREADx 8 месяцев назад

      Great questions. I think removing the suffering would look a lot more like living with intention and making conscious choices. Perhaps like the choice to grow one's own food instead of slaving away at a desk to work for money, etc.
      Choosing not to engage in fighting or victimhood, etc.
      Of course, for all that to really add up to less suffering, it would require more people to be on board with that agenda. It's easy to say these things and much harder to execute when we're in a (completely man-made) economic depression.
      But hey, it's still worth doing a little part to try and teach future generations, and help ourselves.

      @@michaelk4740Either that, sheer unaltered humbleness before all things and all people… or a very intelligent agent who chooses to play dumb. Kinda like one Joe Rogan magically forgets many past talking points to let his guests go on and on about whatever angle they have. 😉 Or like one Tucker Carlson often does too. Actually reminds me of the formerly stellar Jon Stewart too, on a comical tone.
      I used to, but I just no longer buy for one second that Lex would be that naive after so many deep talks with insanely insightful people. Lex is just staying in character on air while he evolves personally, shily away from public scrutiny. He’s more connected than one can imagine and thus knows more about most things than he ever lets on.
      I think he’s on a true mission to pierce human nature somehow though, but the why is uncertain at this point. The man used to teach AI at the MIT ffs. 😅

      @@victor38542 I have come to share your view on Lex in recent months. He displays an almost infuriatingly childlike naivety, but knowing how brilliant he is and the caliber of guests he brings, I can only conclude he has chosen to play the role of the clueless but curious host. It's nearly impossible to believe he isn't putting all the pieces together and evaluating the future with more skill. Seems he has taken the podcast forum as a means to play dumb in order to draw out the true intentions and insights of the people he brings on. Assuming that is the case, I'm much less irritated with the product.

      He is planning on killing BILLIONS of people based on his own stories. Probably not the best person to get all self-righteous about death and murder. Except for his murder is justified by his own concept of elitism.
