Drawing from the words and illustrations in his new children’s book, ‘Unstoppable Us: How Humans Took Over the World’, Harari decodes the big stories of today (nations, money, gender roles, religion) to empower young readers to question our shared history and change the future.

Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and the bestselling author of ‘Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind’ (2014), ‘Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow’ (2016), ‘21 Lessons for the 21st Century’ (2018), the graphic novel series ‘Sapiens: A Graphic History’ (launched in 2020, co-authored with David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave), and the children’s series ‘Unstoppable Us’, (launched 2022).
Fantastic quote: "The ability to admit I don't know takes honesty and courage. The first step to knowledge is to admit that I don't know..if you pretend that you know then you'll never learn anything new."
And the rest of the quote is brilliant too! "the big scientific revolution which launched modern science was a discovery of ignorance. For thousands of years people thought they knew everything. That some holy book or some holy person knew everything. ... And science began when some humans admitted that we don't know everything. There is no book in the world that knows all the answers. There is no person in the world that knows everything. And now that we have the courage and honesty to admit we don't know everything, we can start investigating. And that's science."
"Those who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know"- Tao Te Ching.
That is a story that someone told us in the past like 400BC, but we can change that story :)
Do you think the person talking doesn't know in this video?
You don't have to pretend you don't know. If you meet a bona-fide spiritual master, and learn about Krishna through Bhagavad-gita you can begin to know. Because Yuval is an arrogant atheist and does not know does not mean that the rest of us have to remain in ignorance.
@@gauradas108 In the U.S. almost no one knows anything about that book. I've never read it. No one ever even talked about it. I learned about it's existence in college, but I didn't learn much. The book that we're told since childhood to follow is typically the Christian Holy Bible. We're typically all shipped off to churches every week to learn lessons about it. How would you feel if someone told you that the real lessons are in the Holy Bible and that all truth, love, and wisdom is with Jesus Christ? It's being told to people every single day, probably thousands of times per day, by people who claim to be certain that this is truth. Often they threaten that you'll find out in the afterlife if you refuse to believe them now. Do these people know?
He has given me more peace than my religious textbook…
You never get enough Yuval's wisdom
Yuvals voice = lullaby
I am 40 years old and feel glad for such talk. Many questions were answered and other just confirmed previous knowledge.I thank you Yuval, and also the people who make possible to have access to to this content. The best gift to a good friend is just share this video.
cooperation is the biggest thing human being can created the word, and also can be a thing save our future is great suggestion. Yuval is great teacher for young generation.
love youuuu the world needs people like you
what a perfect audience, young, attentive, free of bias, full of questions, full of fascination. congratulations
I think this stupid man should be kept away from children.
My sheep will not be lead astray by gay demons the likes of Harari.
Audience wonderful, the best to seduce.
Yes, easy to brainwash them
this guy influenced my thinking more than anyone in my life.
The same to me
Ditto
He is a enemies of the God of Israel!!!
This man is very underrated, especially among Muslims. Most of the Muslim community rejects him just because he's an atheist from Israel, and that's very sad.
Makes sense, though. I'm sure Christians and his own Jewish relatives and associates aren't super happy about his message.
@@jonsnow1123 bcoz he telks the truth and not stories😁
@@Rex-wn3yfhe exactly tells the stories. History is the story told by the winners , survivors and many times has very little to do with the truth.
Because they are human; not a sage like him. He doesn’t understand human nature. He’s naive. You can’t polish a turd. You have to make decisions based on the reality of human nature.
I went to Oaxaca Mexico last year. I saw lots of people who had little interest in power but a lot of interest in having a good time and living life to the fullest, don’t make sweeping generalizations like that.
I cannot Thank you enough Yuval. You are a pure human. And, you talk about it.
Thank you Yuval, for sharing your knowledge with younger generations! You will never know how many of them will become future historians ang philosophers. Muchas gracias.
Thank you Yuval for taking social studies to the highest level.
This man is a fool
Too bad he never studied anthropology.....
@@user-ps3jp8rb7d just bcoz he doesnt believe in your world view doesnt make him bad!
Absolutely phenomenal! I just love that Yuval wrote this book for principally young children, preteens. Their lives will be most affected by the 3 threats to humanity that he described, but also they have the most power to change those threats (because they don't know the "limiting stories" that adults have already inculcated). Bravo! He is a superlative thinker, and communicator.
Yuval's ideas deeply resonate with my own, creating a profound connection as if we share a parallel line of thinking.
Heartening to see joy on the faces of receipants !❤
Thank you, Mr. Yuval Harari. The humanity you convey is striking and distinctive, and the book ( Sapiens) is one of the most wonderful books.,Please Accept all my love and respect... Jamal, an Iraqi atheist.
Just imagine for a second the whole world if instead of churches we had this kind of lectures
I do and it showed me that we all hate each other and we think how bad we are and we dont live by love, hope and faith. Also insted of helping and work with one another we compete and extinct one another exactly like in the story crazy yuval told at the beginning of his talk. We became a real humans only after we returned to God way of living. And I am talking Catholic way of thinking about God and human and the world. Since this is the only way which teach as compassion, love of others and hope through the love of God insted if force and killings and viewing others as a lower class or even as animals. There is just two forces in the world good and bad which are represented by God and by evil. Same as a night and day ect. World is based on opposites because we got a free will to choose. If we were only given a “good” way and “good” especially in today human view could be very questionable we would live oppressed and miserable prison like life. This man has an obsession and he thinks he can fix the world so we can say he thinks about himself as a god but there were many like him before and it always ended very bad for the world when another human being is trying to “fix” the world.
I hv read soo many books and then there I came across ur Sapiens after reading it My perspective about everything has changed..I am very glad to have found that book..
After than i am unable to like any other normal books since u hv give me that thinking capability to think myself about soo many day to day life things..
His book is entitled just “Sapiens “
@@renzo6490😊
I just love this partial quote by itself "the big scientific revolution which launched modern science was a discovery of ignorance. For thousands of years people thought they knew everything. That some holy book or some holy person knew everything. ... And science began when some humans admitted that we don't know everything. There is no book in the world that knows all the answers."
Continuing the quote "There is no person in the world that knows everything. And now that we have the courage and honesty to admit we don't know everything, we can start investigating. And that's science."
While it was fiction, it shed light on so much of humanity. I refer to Westworld and Dr. Ford's epiphanal statement about all of humanity exist because of the mistake.
they are living among us 🖤
By they... you are referring to de mons...?
I listened to the full episode. Very well done.
At the end I must say, sitting in Pakistan, Clapping 👏 for you for sharing such an honest wisdom 🙏
Thank you, Youval Noah Herari ❤❤
I m so glad that Yuval is still so young, which means that there's a good chance he will still be here with us for much longer, through good and dark times , giving advice, teaching us about ourselves. that is very reassuring. thanks for sharing your knowledge, Mr Harari! love from Berlin .❤
Oh, he will be here with us especially during dark times like now... because he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
@@storythyme3893 suppose this is true, what would be the 'wolfs' agenda here do you think? I can't imagine a good scenario where this makes any sense. But you seem to have a deeper insight into things, maybe you can help me understand. I m very open to change my opinion, if there is reasonable evidence.
So very impressed by this.
From India... we(family) feel, your lecture enriched us, thank you professor...
The more I hear the more I wish to hear. You are unbelievably good
What strikes me about Yuval is that he's intelligent, yes, brilliant even, he's a great storyteller, but apart from that he comes across as a genuinely nice guy. I find myself listening to him a lot longer than I had in mind.
Nice?
@@mrs210 Yeah. You don't think so? Many people are clever, but full of themselves. Yuval seems...... ok.
Yuval, the question and points that you raised in the initial 8 minutes of this lecture are all answered in one of the schools of india philosophy known as "Buddhist philosophy".... It starts with the suffering point that you just mentioned and goes on to answer other queries!
Love.
Thank you!
You are missing the point. The answers provided by your Buddhism are also just stories invented by humans to console themselves.
Amazing speaker and very knowledgeable. Would love to have this brother.
Thanks a lot for such a brilliant talk, Yuval Harari. Specially to give us such a clear explanation about the implications of the AI. Wonderful words about the role and importance on learning History. I'm a historian too.
Congratulations !
So much amazing quote mining to get from this video!! "Yes we have different languages and religions, but this is all very recent.... If you go back 5,000 years, you don't find any Christian, any Jew, any Muslim, any Russian, any Ukrainian, any Chinese. It's only for the last 5,000 years. Which is nothing, 5,000 years! ...But there are humans on the planet for MILLIONS of years."
you are so amazing Yuval
Thank you Yuval.
Wishing you peace 🌸🌺
Girls over there in the audience group are like Angels listening to Yuval and asking worthy questions 👌🫡
Angels listening to an evil spirit

Beautiful thank for your share.
Thank you for your beautiful book,...❤Adore your great work🌏
a good talk with knowledge and wisdom
The concept of 'we' is also hard to gasp as society no longer agree
This guy is unbelieveable 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Good afternoon Yuval
Giagantasaurus sensemaking.
Again thankyou.
Fabby to see children attending.
So Grateful for your storytelling.
💜
Yuval is the Gem 💎💫
Thank you Professor
Thank You!
My Sunday super watch 👌
He nailed the hidden thesis - History is not about dates. It's about change. Most of the kids 'got it' too.
Really great lecture from a great historian.
Really love this. He talks in a way unstopping me watching it ❤
Thank you for the information
Social media, if used for the good of humanity and all other animals, can enable us all to collaborate to find ways to make our planet a comfortable home. Let's use social media to solve our problems rather than create division among us.
My favourite historian love from Pakistan 🙌
Thanks Dr. Yuval much much love from Peoples of 🇵🇰 Pakistan
Love the fact you are connecting with young people who will be in charge of all of our future ❤❤❤
Thank you.
Soy una fun suya Sr Harari, leo todos los días algo suyo aveces me pasó el día leyendole, y hablo y le cito a usted constantemente, a mis hijos y nietos les he regalado todos los libros.
Le escribo porque usted cita constantemente al hablar de su interés por la historia que quedó anonadado por la muerte de un soldado inglés a manos de argentinos, al hacer esta declaración y hacerla usted que merece todos los honores es como aceptar que el que viniera toda una armada inglesa a defender una colonia inglesa es aceptado.
Que conste que no pretendo dar la razón a uno u otro sobretodo porque después de leer sus libros, no tendría sentido pero entonces estamos hablando como en el siglo 20 estando en el 21
Gracias
Great mind of our generation
Learning to be able to say “I don’t know” and to be a realist!
Beautiful analytical mind. I am going to read his book.
बहुत अच्छा लगा।
Amazing thoughts ! Nicely presented the most important issues in a very easy language.
mindblowing thoughts thank you youwa
So mindblowing full of knowladges
Thank you, Professor Yuval!
how can you thank a murderer. this guy blatantly called the truth sayers during the skam as conspiracy theorists. he is a dead man walking.
Love him
I AM CRYING SPONTANOUSLY
SPONTANELOUISE
SPONTANEOUSLY
STOP THE EVOLUTION STORY ... IS AN COMPLETELY UNKNOWN MATTER
sometimes I feel very good of youtube that I can hear your lecture Sitting in India and I do not study in a big university but somehow understand english.
💕
Thanks to Britishers🧡💛 for making sure English is taught in our indian_schools
This is exactly why certain people will try to ban certain books, and prevent kids from reading them, while other people will keep on writing important books, and also put them in the hands of kids. And the battle goes on...
Nature is more powerful than us! It is already trying to stop our uncontrollable abuse of the planet.
He literally wants to control your mind.
So, the Malvinas war "gave us" the Yuval Harari we know and love. Good things can come from bad situations. The universe works in mysterious ways indeed.
Dear Sir Youval Noah Harari ... I find you so interesting to listen to.
I recently heard you comment on another talk show about the Ten Commandments and the term slave. I thought you may find it interesting to know that at that time in history there was not a word for employee. That was a time there was no grocery stores or hospitals or police or emergency aid. There were competent me who cared for women and children for food and shelter. The world was in it's infancy in developing. A man may have to be responsible to care for his wife and other wives and children and even his employees/slaves.
You are a very wise man Youval Noah Harari but you don't seem to understand these stories very well. You are smart and reason out things if you lived in that time how you would think and feel but this is a different time and people did not think like we do now.
The stories you speak of are incredible believable and are worth searching into and meditating on carefully and deeply to really understand what you are actually beholding.
I’m an adult and loved reading these books
Extreme level discussion
In this man lies a historical and philosophical scholar who delved deep and truly understood who we are and what we can become. A person of this caliber, who has clearly articulated his ideas in books and actively participates in conferences to enhance the human condition on Earth, should be among those deserving of the Nobel Prize.
You’re wrong
This man is dangerous
@@Daneiladams555 why so?

Amazing!
A story that must be played in Schools for young blood to better understand the past, the present and the future. What they are capable of doing to make this planet earth a better world to live in. Big thanks to Professor Yuval for this insightful and thought provoking story.
Namaste 🙏 sir from India 🇮🇳
What a great bright mind!
I'm glad Yuval exists in my lifetime
I feel lucky too to be in such remarkable presence same time on earth
@@ginawang2692He isn't here to save you. He say man is the enemy. You are sleep walking.
Me too
@@yannickev yes sleeping walking
Thank you Yuval
I really like Yuvals take on reality. He is really on the mark. Voice of our age. He has to courage to call of godist weirdo's and label their stories as cosplay - "fake news".
That is next level of conscience
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL and lovely to hear this man speak, always !
You are a genius ❤
I hope someday, you can visit our country, Indonesia, and can share your knowledges to us. Thank you for sharing.
Great a real wonder
👏👏we nenes ti know our history in orden to suport the planet , our house 👍
I agree with Yuval Noah Harari that the ability to admit that you don't know something takes honesty and courage. It is often easier to pretend that you know something, even if you don't, but this can prevent you from learning new things.
When you admit that you don't know something, it opens you up to the possibility of learning something new. It also shows that you are humble and willing to admit your limitations. This can be a very attractive quality in a person, and it can help you to build relationships with others.
Of course, there are times when it is not appropriate to admit that you don't know something. For example, if you are in a job interview and you are asked a question that you don't know the answer to, you may not want to admit that you don't know. In this case, it may be better to try to bluff your way through the question or to ask for clarification.
Best speach
I always enjoy Noah Harari's work. He has influenced me a lot and was one of the drivers for me towards university studies.
But in recent years, I have a principal point of criticism in his approach: He often reduces human issues very easily by calling them "stories". He then proceeds to distinguish between "good" and "bad" stories, which is something that is ultimately subjective.
This is simmilar to what many people are doing: they are deconstructing ideas, and by that, crowning themselves as kings of the ashes. I don't think Noah Harari is as extreme as those people, but I think the way he presents his views, is prone to be misused by the masses, and these include very strong, influential and intelligent people with good intentions.
I am not speaking against his intentions, but I think that a degree of humility is often missing in Noah Harari's underlying message.
You really need to go back and read again. Harari clearly tells us, there is no such thing as good and bad. His point about stories, is how powerful they are in our lives and in fact, often overpower truth
Surely you jest. He is incredibly humble.
Take heed of the symbol in the top right had corner.
What is it?
Thanks Yuval for talking social study
I'm from Flores has you say a small island of Indonesia with historical story
Great Philosopher
Very few people speak meaningful words these days. Yuval is one of them!
You mean meaningless, you would be correct.
Yes. Only the MOB is upset - because he does NOT speak for t h e m . .
Yes I Am Coming Soon
Excellent
Not in Einstein Times but Luckily we are born in Harari Times ❤🎉
Thanks
Fascinating conversation! I enjoy Noah Harari's lectures 👍
I try not to miss any of Yuval's videos. So interesting.
