The host is amazing. Impressive for a 22 year old young lady
Honestly!!
Compared to her, I was like a toddler at 22 !
This is a good way to engage young minds, to air their curiosity and ask questions that interest them most. The better part of the question and answer forum is the participation of a learned resource speaker in the person of Prof. Harari whose knowledge on world history and appreciation on the capability of modern technologies such as computer-based artificial intelligence to know and influence human beings upon their persons as well as on their social, economic, political affairs and belief systems, which at it was enjoyed by the young and brave minds participants allowed them exercise more power of their intellectual faculties! I remember our national hero in my homeland Philippines, Dr. Jose Rizal, who truly understood the power of the youth when he declared them: "The Hope of the nation." Thank you and more power to the participating youth and unstoppable brave minds!
This kind of approach is the right one if we want to change our future, these kids are super receptive to new information, they are our hope if we want to save humanity. Congratulations for the organizers and especially for prof Yuval Noah Harari, he is a genius. Greetings from Transylvania ✌😉
Well said.
Yuval Harari's 'instant' answers are so brilliant and thought provoking, the young moderator totally up with it and not daunted at all. The kids at times are even ahead of the adults (as kids can often be). Long live the truths of science!
Hé think you are hackable animal
Are you a hackable animal ?
Very correct 💯
What an excelent young moderator! Congratulations! Que excelente jovem moderadora! Parabéns!
We fight over stories .... you have said it all Yuval
There is so much of value in this. I hope people will watch Prof. Harari’s talk on consciousness which provides the conceptual basis of his approach to humanity and our modern problem solving capacity. I cannot help but notice a missed opportunity in this QandA. When talking about money I would have liked to see some mention that it isn’t just a story, it’s also a representation of an agreement. At its root the story is that we need to account for contribution and subtraction of resources. Now that we have the technology to greatly reduce the amount of physical labour required to survive we can have different agreements. We can learn and teach and work in ways very different to how we have in the past. We may not need to actually have this fine grained accounting. Many countries are looking at a universal basic income. At its best a system like this would provide everyone with enough to meet basic needs. Then work becomes something driven by interest, skill and the need for belonging. Those are very different motivators to survival. One thing I’d say to the architects of tomorrow is please consider that those of us who aren’t motivated by competition may languish if we are not asked to contribute. So please help us devise ways to avoid the stagnation of choice paralysis. We can do so much more for each other if the technological tools we use to learn and work engage our minds by always providing a clear next step.
Brilliance overloaded! The professor, the moderator and especially the young participants.
Well Mr. Harari is well known. I am astonished to see wisdom of children.
This whole scenery is just so beautiful. Why should it be so rare to see people talk about politics in such a hopeful and compassionate way that gets to the core in a way that explains the fundamental mechanisms of human behaviour in an easy to understand way.
This was the most refreshing and best of the interviews of Pro. Harari. its excellence is about the way the moderator formulates the issues and rephrases what she hears, it actually brings the best version and portrayal of Prof Harari,. I Love that she also pays equal attention on questions of children and praises them, she is actually interacting as a human being in her real self to engage with others no matter of status and age. She does not see it as she has a job to do and give all the praises to the Prof at the costs of the audience being ignored. Whereas in all other interviews of Prof Harari, I have seen the more " mature" adult moderators, despite showing superficial respect for the prof, most aim to lure him to a wresting circle, deemed to bring him down as "who are you as a historian to predict future and you are the most intelligent pessimist, etc" but again what a delight to see the young are not that ignorant or judgemental and focus on his true message, less prevent disasters, lets be kinder humans to one another and to our plant.
Yes, exactly!! Amazing meeting with brilliant moderator and audience.
Amazing moderator. Very interesting questions and good explanation!!!
These kids are going to grow up super smart! Really enjoyed hearing their ideas.
Damn, those kids are smart. Great host and great talk by Mr. Harari
Thanks Mr.Harari your answers very true
How young people shine.
Very helpful and well executed. Thank you. I love how Yuval is bringing evolutionary psychology to young individuals!
Wonderful and really eye opening analyses by Prof Harari about the human situation.Human cooperation, he rightly emphasises, is central to what humanity is or is not oday, and what it can be in the future. History of the human species he suggests should be mandatory for all the children of the world. Teaching the history of our own group nation religion only is at the very root of most problems humanity faces today.
I truely admired Harari way to talk and get to everyone
What an intelligent kids and very convenient discussion with Prof. Harari. Keep up the good discussion, the future needs a robust critical thinking of how we shape our stories.
Wonderful discussion. Thank you very much
Finished reading Unstoppable Us yesterday. Absolutely loved it. When I’m a dad I’ll definitely read this to my kids
Nature goes on forever for everyone and everything to return as everyone and everything an infinite number of times through evolutionary processes. 🌌

one of the greatest thinkers today
Do you think his mention of his "husband" would have confused this audience if you don't mind me asking?
Really one of greatest minds WEF
Moderator is most Human
Those two small kids are really serious about humanity.
A very remarkable man. What an alert mind, what a joy too listen. And the kids were lapping it up, not talking down, but too them. Seen plenty of RUclips videos which I have loved, but this one goes too the top of the list. Cheers RUclips, SBM.
Thank you

I would love to see Professor Harari talk to Eckhart Tolle.
It also came yo my mind!
@@johnj5221 What?? When have you *ever* heard him say *any* of those things?
I think your brain is the one spawning the nonsense…
@@therealtulipI suspect what is being reflected here is differences in thinking about consciousness itself. Tolle has appeal with people who are happy to entertain a spiritualist perspective in regard to consciousness. On the other hand Prof. Harari asks us to be critical thinkers about the spiritualism we may have inherited. I’d be even more confronting on this issue. While I used to be able to embrace spiritualism on the basis of my feelings I have now seen ‘the emperor’s new clothes’ so to speak. I look at most organised religion and spiritual traditions as attempts to organise and control human behaviour. ie that they were an appropriate solution for their time perhaps but have an awful way of turning into power dynamics. We give some people huge amounts of opaque power and then are surprised to find that opportunists have worked their way into those systems. Looking into this with any kind of rigour quickly reveals sociopathic horrors which were allowed to flourish because of the lack of transparency. If what I’m saying so far isn’t making much sense it’s probably worth watching Professor Harari’s talk on consciousness.
@@freedahlogic8368 Maybe you’re right. I haven’t seen that particular talk of his. All I know is that he’s definitely not “devil’s spawn”, whatever that means.
I am love you
Prof. Harari just knows how to speak to every audience. He is not condescending to children, but speaks at their level with so much respect. I love that he is speaking to the future Homo Sapiens who will make the decisions to keep our Earth going for a better future for all. He does not miss a beat!
I thought mentioning his "husband" might have been confusing to these children.
@@aperson2730 Probably not. LGBT rights in the Netherlands are among strongest in the world. Same-sex sexual activity was legalized there in the year 1811. The Netherlands was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage, before those kids were born. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_Netherlands
🙏❤️
Kids have very complicated question, i think we are born philosophers but we end up stupid.
❤❤
Is it possible that humanity would move past the point of no return, and not even know it?
The moment when the scale tips would not be obvious it would just be a tiny gradient in an entire strata of events. And meanwhile we'll still be thinking that we have time. Staring into our screens, and looking out our windows, thinking everything looks OK. Living in intellection, discussion and data collection.
You said in your heart, " I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphron ' Isaiah 14:13.
those beliefs are false

Carry his thinking to its end: What is to be done with people who choose not to “cooperate” or those who cannot contribute?
You are not creating anything, but you are destroying CREATION, take heed for GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED, REPENT!!! Ps 2.4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision. .Ps 2.2 Why do the [a]nations [b]rage,
And the people plot a [c]vain thing?2 The kings of the earth set themselves,And the rulers take counsel together,Against the Lord and against His Anointed,[d] saying,3 “Let us break Their bonds in piecesAnd cast away Their cords from us.”4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;The Lord shall hold them in derision.5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
Elon Musk is a good storyteller. Why hear stories of vampires and zombies? A good story is the one that gets the attention of super smart kids.
Here’s Yuval Harari. He is the best Storyteller for the last 10 years. His Israeli accent is difficult (click more) there’s a transcript of the audio that will help you understand him better.
I hope the following helps improve the reasoning that starts at 26:50
Cooperation is a human strength, not the human strength. Cooperation can be a bad choice too, it is unreasonable in a liferaft with supriments for one, or with a canibal stranger hunting for dinner. In circumstances like those, competitive strategies can work better.
The most successfull in nature, regardless their sex, is neither the one who cooperates best, an "extreme comunist", nor the one who competes best, an "extreme capitalist". The two extremes are wrong, as is so often the case when reality is reduced to a false dychotomy.
The most successfull in nature is the best in identifying the circumstances (type of game), deciding if it is best to compete or cooperate, and then acting accordingly (oversimplified for simplicity, but already better than the false dychotomy - and easy enough for kids).
Orcas and whales provide a good example of different strategies for different games.
When food is scarce, orcas hunt whales, predator and prey, no cooperation is possible. Then, when fish is abundant, orcas and whales cooperate. Why? Because they get more fish working as a team!
Clearly, orcas and whales recognize that both have to adjust their strategies according to the circumstances (type of game) to maximize their results. We should be able to learn a thing or two from them...
Thanks for this. Good to explain/extend Harari's view that it's often not either/or, but that there's room for both, depending on the situation.
@@duncanwhitehead3381 Thank you!
Why not some Kid ask Uncle Yuval about His Take On De-Population?
God will judge you greatly for leading the children astray…tell us the science behind your philosophy that everything came from nothing ? Better yet tell us how mind came from matter ? Scratch the surface and your world view falls on its face. We pray for you Yuval, that you come out of your blindness and repent before a Holy God. Matter comes from mind my friend
The question about male dominance in so many human societies I would have to say my theory is that it's because of child rearing in the cultures depends on primarily women raising the children rearing you know the whole pregnancy issue where the woman can be kind of out of commission for period of time creates a tendency to believe that the male worker and the way a male leader in the whatnot is more dependable they're not drawn away from their duties for a child rearing purposes as a woman is expected to be devoted to their children.

I like Harari very much and most of the time I agree with him, but in times like in the minute 41:00 of the video he starts talking like economy "is just a story" , not a science, ruled by logic. This may lead to dangerous stories, like the myth that central planning of the economy, also known as socialism, may result in something good.
🎼Bob Th Builder Can We Fix IT YES We can
If only 5 percent of what he talked about sticks in the minds of these children it'll be a win.
'What's a good story?' Great question. 'Does technology make us happier?' I wished he would have answered with a return question: 'what do you think?'
all the dislike are from people who believe in god... god is very angry.
Truly amazing!
"Does it cause anybody to suffer...." Wisdom extraordinary!
If you can tell me the truth about Jesus christ through the right dividing of scriptures then we may be getting somewhere
If you listened carefully you might have heard he talked about how we learn the stories of our groups… perhaps there is no one truth about Jesus Christ because there were multiple different perspectives. For some supernatural forces were at play. For others the stories are symbolic. No doubt there are many other perspectives in addition to those options..
The one and only holy spirit from God opens the understanding by where with people can come unto the knowledge of the truth,without the holy spirit no man will understand because he is carnal, it takes the spirit of god to illuminate
Moderator spelling of your name please?
🎼 BanaaaZ Monkey Business w Minions😁
The bible carries the history of mankind and every creation...parents are responsible for teaching their children of their origin,which is creation...everything has a reference point, the reference is creation..our present and future is in the hands of God..He sustains everything.
...No.
He is an historian. And gave such a misinformed example about Ukraine....Otherwise, he presents in brilliant, articulated way what he had learned. But, what if the history and evolution that he learned is completely fake
How to make Christ real to his devotees? In the ceremony of the Mass, the priest takes a piece of bread and glass of wine, and proclaims that the bread is Christ's flesh, the wine is Christ's blood, and by eating and drinking them the faitful attain communion with Christ. What could be more real than actually tasting Christ in your mouth? Traditionally, the priest made these bold proclamations in Latin, the ancient language of religion, law and the secrets of life. In front of the amazed eyes of the assembled peasants the priest held high a piece of bread and exclaimed "Hoc est corpus!" -(This is the body!)- and the bread supposedly became the flesh of Christ. In the minds of illiterate peasants, who did not speak Latin, "Hoc est corpus!" got garbled into "Hocus pocus!" and thus was born the poweful spell that can transform a frog into a prince, and a pumpkin into a carriage. Yuval Noah Harari (21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Penguin Random House UK, Vintage, 2018, page; 329)
John 3:16 is the answer.. not this nonsense .
How about reducing‘ conspicuous consumption’ in the developed economies…the root cause of today’s global climate change…
Please, young people, read your Bibles. ✝️ Ask Jesus and the Holy Spirit to guide you to the right path. 🕊️🌿✨

@@mirjami4090 why bible why not quran why not other religious book
@@innocent_0000 Because our Lord and Saviour Jesus died for us. And His blood cleanses us so that we become righteous and then we are saved by Him. We need Faith, not religiousness. Everything what leads us away from His Word is deception. Holy Spirit is guiding us to the truth. 🌿🕊️🌿
@@mirjami4090 it is all fantasy people love fiction, u should live ur life happily why u care about a person died 2000 yrs ago. focus on present

Good thing he didn't use Palestine as an example, or suggest diplomacy/listening to what the Russians say, because that would have shown the hypocrisy of an Israeli speaking about compassion.
Yuval you are wrong about sugar invented. First Indian people use sugar.
Yuval speaks a lot of sense until he mentions his HUSBAND. Then for some reason I get a headache and feel a bit embarrassed for the audience and here I'm pretty sure it must have been confusing for the children attending.
I would prefer if he said his "spouse" adding the word "he" further down the sentence if he wanted to make clear that he was in fact married to a man, although that makes me question exactly what I understand by the word 'marriage'.
It seems to detract from what he's saying at least to me.
If happiness is just a mix of hormones in a soulless body, then just give yourself a hormone shot. "Be the change you want to see in the world." Why do you need all this traveling around the world, giving interviews, publishing books? This is an unnecessary waste of time and CO2 emissions.
You are such a contradiction.
You believe in evolution, and that would imply the survival of the fittest, but you also think cooperation is how leaders rise to power.
In the real world it is the strong that rise to power…maybe not physical strength…but they are not mentally weak and they do not cooperate fully….most leaders are very disagreeable.
Women tend to be very agreeable.
That is ONE reason why there are more men in powerful positions rather than women.
There are many other things in your views that are so contradictory it’s really hard to listen to you.
Humans are not animals. God will hold you accountable.
Humans are animals. it’s your ego that hold you back to not accept the reality what if God hold you accountable?
if there is a god,
is very very cruel and morbid,
watch the wild animal kingdom,specially in africa
Do you think Earth is at the centre of the solar system as well?
About crying! Haria isn't to be child but can have sometimes childish manner merely turning About his answers.
"Yuval Noah Harari | “There Is No God In the Universe and No Human Rights” Research this liar and manipulator
if there is a god,us a very cruel and horrible being,
watch the wild animal kingdom
@@razonyespiritu we are not animals and your idol is wanting to reduce men and women to animals and insects. No justice, no choice nor free will. Let's bring back slavery heh! Let's own nothing. Let's get harvested at their whims for organ donations. let's be communist like china. This is going backwards where they want to pervert/word salad you, manipulate you, psychological perversion of good things, progress to have us to be tagged like cattle and no rights. WAKE UP.
@@tatianacomeau7244 my idol?
i dont even like him.
i dont need your advices thank you,
i know all about the nwo,and years before the plandemia.
and you can not say humans are not an animal species,
thats not objective and rational,
anyway,2 humans can be very very different in culture/mentality/consciousness.
we can not generalize.
but i dont believe in evolution,by random.
there are very powerful and superior beings behind the creation of humanity
@@razonyespiritu I believe God created man in his image. Yes I can say men and women are not to be defined as animals. I know where the deceivers, liars, manipulators want to take this further. Just like all psychological twisting of truths, using the cover of "virtue" has been done to us thus far, to degrade us, destroy us. We have fallen from grace and have been manipulated. Just look back each generation. They have degraded us through movies, shows, music, education and so on. We have been under attack always but did not realize it. JFK and J. Edgar Hoover said it best.
@@tatianacomeau7244 what it matters are the moral values,ideals,which come from a universal consciousness.
religious beliefs are relative,and not the most important thing.
anyway,for sure good and evil exist,and we are in a battle field down here,for our souls,that must ascend to a higher dimension,realm,at the end.
cry for attention.... your ego
Too reductionistic, Yuval is not a scientist, but promotes scientism..
Human minds without GOD...DANGEROUS AND HOPELESS
what represents god?
@@razonyespiritu not what but WHO...THE LAMB OF GOD...THE LION OF JUDÁ...THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE...THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEAT THE EVIL NATURE OF MAN AND THE POWER OF HELL..you are living in DARKNESS and can't see this because it's SPIRITUAL Y TOO PROFUND to your CARNAL Y EARTHLY MIND..
@@arnoldpierre9230 those beliefs have no logic,from a rational or spiritual perspective
@@razonyespiritu i completely understand you IGNORANCE to this FACT...1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 2...we pray that God opens you eyes to see and understand THIS MYSTERY..
Also human minds who *think* they know the mind of God - even more dangerous!!
For your information, putin is now readh to stop war because of his losses. Now zelensky doesn't want it.
Have some knowledge about geopolitics
Motivation needs knowledge rather than belief😂😂
It’s so sad to hear Yuval telling these young minds, we are just “animals”.
That is the first lie.
What's wrong with being described as an animal if you don't mind me asking?
Once humanity thought the Earth was at the centre of the solar system then Copernicus showed that it wasn't. If some day someone shows that we are not at the centre of creation would that be such a terrible thing?
Perhaps you think too poorly of animals?
Truth is hard my friend
@@johnj5221 Hi John, you know that's actually a couple of interesting points! Hmm you've actually got me thinking 🤔
Edit: Or then again possibly his subscribers just weren't interested in this particular video.
Following on from my comment from a few days ago Teresa I did find his use of "husband" to describe his spouse in front of these young people as possibly confusing. Perhaps I'm just being homophobic without consciously realizing it.
He has no wisdom.
maybe,
but your beliefs are delusional
