  • Techno-Religions and Silicon Prophets: Will the 21st century be shaped by hi-tech gurus or by religious zealots - or are they the same thing?
    What is the current status of religions and ideologies in the world, and what will be the likely impact of 21st-century technological breakthroughs on religion and ideology? Will traditional religions and ideologies-from Christianity and Islam to Liberalism and Socialism-manage to survive the technological and economic revolutions of the 21st century? What would be the place of Islam, for example, in a world of genetic engineering and artificial intelligence? The talk addresses these questions, and argues that the future belongs to techno-religions, which promise salvation through technology, and which are already gathering believers in places such as Silicon Valley.
    About the Author
    Prof. Yuval Noah Harari lectures at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He specializes in World History, medieval history and military history. His current research focuses on macro-historical questions: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded?
    His most recent book is Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. The book surveys the entire length of human history, from the evolution of Homo sapiens in the Stone Age up to the political and technological revolutions of the Silicon Age. It has become an international bestseller, and has been translated into close to 30 languages worldwide.

Believing in heaven or nirvana or hell, or reincarnation, or nothingness…just suggested conclusions. What happens after biological death? Shoot yourself in the head-overdose on some lethal drug-hang yourself…whatever. Maybe you will retain consciousness and get an answer for the question? Or Not?

      How good it is that life is just the blink of an eye. I have thousands of witnesses in the holy scriptures and witnesses from all over the world who have reproduced in different languages, with completely identical content, the statements of the apostles, that is, the gospel, and that is how the holy scriptures have been compiled. There is no historical scripture that is better attested, neither from Plato, nor from Caesar there are a hundred writings from ancient times. An AI can reproduce only that, what humans have given it and it mixes itself from it. Jesus Christ lives and every knee will have to bend before him and I look forward to the day when this happens. Jesus Christ has opened the door back home, to our Father, if we believe him and do not fall for the lies of the serpent again. I would have lost nothing by believing in Jesus, but those who do not believe would have lost eternity in bliss by their unbelief. Praise be to Jesus Christ and God's blessings to all people.

    Trying to sum up this line of reasoning: It is the ability of Sapiens to mass together and act in harmony with one another that gives them the edge over every other species and that has enabled the science/technological surge forward for mankind". That is pretty much the nutshell version of what this gent is saying. Just looking at it from the outside and presuming that the science/technology "surge" has been mostly positive, why would we dissociate ourselves from the product of religion, i.e. morality, ethics and virtue. The machine we have developed is killing us, but it sounds as if this guy wants us to deny that part of our evolution and ignore the fact that we have been killing ourselves for two thousand years. Whether I think he is saying move forward with technology and rule the world or rule the world and then move forward with technology, I still have a problem treading on this roses strewn path. This is the real pie in the sky.

      @Washeek Год назад +3

      If all else fails, sure...
      It's a false dignity imo. Or rather the notion of dignity itself is false. It's always represented as this outward interaction when in truth it's always been an inward feeling. And the people who have inward dignity would have it even without religion and those that don't are instead mislead by religion's institutions (not religion itself). It's also pretty hard to distinguish a feeling of dignity with just plain ego.
      There's maybe a very small percentage of people that actually arrive at a balanced, dignified and enlightened state via religion, but idk if the cost of millions of others who are lying to themselves is justified.

    This lecture seems to be a good example of exactly what the good Professor is rightfully criticizing in traditional religions-dogma. After reciting the fully naturalized dogmas of contemporary materialism for over an hour he ends by saying we still don’t understand subjectivity. That is also known as “the hard problem” in consciousness studies, where mechanistic and reductionist metaphysical models fall on their face. This is also the root of the modern environmental crisis where “beings” are turned into “things”--or algorithms--in a reductio ad absurdum. This kind of materialism is the real religion of the contemporary world, and because most people can’t see that, we are in a collision course with environmental disaster. He is right to point out that it is accelerating. This is why.

      People like him are the very incarnation of the spirit that has beleaguered humanity since it became self-aware, by whichever process. Those creatures (and I could name quite a few more, only from their public appearances) have been raised in this mechanistic world view. That's why they are befallen by the dogma that there is anything to fix. The accuser and judge about their own/others imperfections resides within themselves. That's why they think that there is any process the human mind can come up with that has and can fix the "problem" their "grey matter" has identified.

    Hardly anybody knows much about themselves. Even highly intelligent people rarely know much about themselves. When you're older then you get a chance to learn some if you're inclined to (not many are).
    Why? People often don't know about the state of their health (of their physical body). Why should they know more about their brain? Why should they be able to interpret properly their experiences from the past? -- not many do, and not too often.
    There are many hard topics to learn about. "Yourself" is one of the difficult topics. It doesn't matter that it's about you, it's still complex and hard and even about one's level of understanding.

      @@neuronqro He's an intellectual who is clearly disconnected from his intuition. Logic and philosophy are based on assumptions and the conclusions are only as good as the initial assumptions. The most common invalid assumption is that the foundation of reality is matter when it's actually consciousness. Whole or Holy consciousness is a mixture of intellect and emotions in a balanced combination.
      The emotional aspect of consciousness is just as important as intellect. Without the emotional aspect creativity is snuffed out. AI is simply computational logic without the emotional aspect making AI (and purely intellectual people) sterile, unable to creatively birth new ideas. Emotions are irrational making them impossible to express in words, with logic or mathematically. We may have words for particular emotions, still a person must feel the emotion to understand what it is. Sensations are also irrational. For example the difference between slippery and slimy can't be described: however, once both are felt the difference is obvious.
      When it comes to creativity, our irrational emotions are able to leap into completely new solution domains that can not be found using logic. However, once the leap has been made the intellect steps in to analyze and evaluate the usefulness of the irrationally discovered solution.
      So there are two fundamental problems with this guy, he believes that matter is the foundation of reality when the Truth is that consciousness is the foundation of the universe and everything in it. Secondly, he is polarized toward intellect rather than balanced between his head and gut while being open to the divine genius that resides in the hearts to guide us as a divine guardian.
      The Holy Spirit within our hearts attends us from birth. Those who listen to their intuition and follow that divine guidance are blessed. What's taking place right now is the removal of the closed-hearted so the open-hearted will be left to inherit the Earth. Although it looks horrible right now, the silver lining will reveal a new era of love in which the open hearted will explore the full blossoming of love. Does this guy use the word love? Love is the final frontier.

Modern discussions are way past this point and BOTH matter (+/- the space-time that contains it) and consciousness are seen as emergent phenomena, the discussion of modern theoretical phisics being about that "thing"/"computation" which forms the basis of it all for which we have neither words nor intuitions, just some math approximations we can barely compute right...

      @@neuronqro By experiencing being the One Who Is All via samadhi it becomes crystal clear that consciousness is primary and matter is an illusion. After dropping into the void within to return to the state of being pure consciousness multiple times, I no longer wonder about what's primary.
      Materialists wonder, "Which came first the chicken or the egg?" However, what actually came first was the idea of a chicken that lays eggs. "In the beginning God made the Heavens and the Earth" is actually true. However, the formation of the egg laying chicken is not accomplished via computation because it's an illusion in which One consciousness projects polarities from a central zero-point to construct an elaborate illusion. For example, the Heavens are the spirit realms on one side of the veil while the Earth is the physical realm on the other side. In other words, consciousness forms the mystical heavens on one side and the seemingly solid physical Earth on the other. All the while, both occupy the same space supported by a singular consciousness that resides within everything.
      To find out for yourself simply drop into your heart and let the material illusion disappear. If you're able to completely let go you'll discover that you are the One. The zero-point is in the middle of each and everything including you. Once you've dropped in you'll know what's primary. There's no need for debate.

    I have read Harari's books and do appreciate his extended knowledge about history. A lot of his observations about the change of human society are definitely very perceptive. He has also aroused my concerned about animal rights in his description of our eradication of other animal species.
    Yet he was the one that almost talked me out of believing in God. Today I feel hugely disappointed about his utterly deviated understanding about our human nature, and concerned about the impact he has spread on humanity destroying our faith in God.
    He has reduced human beings to machine-like algorithms without the integrity of free will and a god-given rational mind of thinking of who we really are and in terms of our connection wit the divine. He has reduced who we are to just the physical, unconscious being, blinding us to our superconscious self that is directly connected with the divine. He has reduced our faith and beliefs to to what is seen in the material world. What about the vast spiritual world that is unseen by our physical eyes? If we believe in his vivid imagination and fabrication of what it means to be a human and the future, we can really depend on drugs to find happiness and meaning.
    Part of us is physically driven by physical needs, and yet part of us is directly connected to the divine - hopefully our higher selves can guide us back to the right way of evolution and progression.
    Every being has come to this world for pre-destined spiritual purposes. Even without the need to work as today, human beings will still have lots of other activities to find meaning such as working together to solve problems like environmental problems, developing our own interests on our path of self-actualisation, etc. Only when our souls/ our consciousness progress to the next paradigm will we find meaning in a new mode of living. I hope Harari has not destroyed our souls' fundamental yearning for spiritual evolution and connection with something beyond this mere physical reality, otherwise we would really get lost and live in hell. Harari has exported too much of his inner sense of loss to humanity.
    Never stop searching for meaning and purpose, brothers and sisters. There is really something objective higher up there outside this ephemeral physical life.

      I stopped reading when you brought in 'god'. god has been dealt with, to death.
      "Myth", OTOH is without doubt a valuable tool in the kit bag to live a more lively, exciting, and deeper existence, contributes immensely to our understanding, and within reason, is a net positive. Joseph Campbell has a wonderful series on it.
      To the extent that god is folded into, considered Myth, there is some validity to its utility. But no further, and is unlikely to be shaken by an admittedly persuasive, brilliant thinker and communicator.
      But saying Harari....." almost talked you out of 'believing in god' , is remarkably shallow.

  • @Reirainsong

    If I were to ask prof. Harari a question, it would be this.
    "Do you think that it is possible that at some point, data will objectively debunk consciousness itself as an inferior method of decision method that shouldn't be allowed, or otherwise irrefutably prove that it would be better for the society to abolish the liberal belief in inherent value of human life?
    Or can consciousness have other advantages, such as ability to question the proof made by decision making algorithms via individual critical thought, which in the long run prevent things like falsifying data to suit the agenda of malicious individuals striving for personal gain, which would otherwise be able to "hijack the hivemind" with more impunity than any tyrant in history?"

      Good questions! Similarly I would ask: Will science, technology, and religion remain dynamic if authority shifts back to the hands of a few self righteous priests? I'd guess that prevailing technocrats will believe that a well structured demos is more capable than their self when it come to passing judgement on the external algorithms we use. It seems to me that democracy is at least as likely as the individual to receive a technological upgrade.

      1. he clearly states that we have literally made no progress in the area of deciphering consciousness. so possibly not very soon.
      2. he says the liberal belief in the inherent value of human life is already being debunked by the life sciences.
      3. he states in a previous interview, the distinction between consciousness and intelligence. current algorithms are far more intelligent than humans in processing data to inform some decisions, but (i think - i have no idea though) decisions rely on consciousness. this is why data-religion is a religion. because it implies you must believe that intelligence is enough to inform you of a decision to make. the decision to believe in the superiority of artificial intelligence is perhaps a product of consciousness. (which he says, may be the wrong decision).
      4. this is an amazing question. it's like the radical islamist movements of the future. who knows what level of consciousness will be attained and utilised by computers at what point in time and wether they will falsify data just like radical islamists falsify the ideals of the teachings in the Quran. nooo idea.

    It is also interesting to note that there are actually two obvious ans and really poweful counterexamples to his reading of western society, and that would be science, the arbitration of which is not individual at all, and the second is that it isn't individual customer preference but aggregate customer preference, which isn't about capturing individuality. You may think it is stupid that trix isn't fruit shaped and is round, but your individual preference is over ridden by the market.

    To follow the presentation of Prof. Harari here on liberal ideology, I understand that it focuses on the important value of the human feeling as the influential or effective force in life's decision making. His mention of biochemical algorithm that describes two basic realities in human life such as survival and reproduction, I think he is objective on presenting the natural nature of our humanity, for which I remember Charles Darwin who trailblazed such observation. I think we are now more equipped to understanding ourselves as humans, thanks to modern computers that can collect and process billions or trillions of information simultaneously at the speed of light! Prof. Harari is truly and relatively a revolutionary mind in his professional field of knowledge and he is honest on presenting what he understands about us as a human specie and as social beings. Among the existing belief systems or religions which he mentioned, he has a keen and profound sense that these are no alternative to the present influential and effective liberal thinking in the lives of 21st century humanity. Just to offer some insights here as it affects religion which is fundamentally about a belief in a good and powerful God who is described or called by various believers by different names, I can sense mankind is now embarking on devising a more effective, more efficient, and more objective means to know and understand us better and avoid a religion in God if this will not promote Peace on earth!

    Very good points and questions. With the industrial revolution, indeed, technology took over the narratives, shaped societies and the whole world. The "de-transcendentalism" of the world happened. It gave way to endless possibilities to help people but also required new explanations to the operation of the new world. However, the newborn ideologies (economic and social-philosophical) like socialism-marxism and capitalism-democracy or liberalism etc. are common in one thing. Now, in the 21st century we know that none of them could work on its own because they lead to radicalization and opression in some ways. So, as I see, religions could retain one function after losing their main role in creation and shaping societies, and this is being a limit to the material, physical world of the post-industrial revolution world. The individual's rights are a great invention, but automatically gave birth to the raise of ideologies based on group identity. A big question is, where the limit is between individual and group (community) rights? Religion could or maybe should try to become the balance or a limit to all ideologies, react to the extremes and encourage people to find a balance between tanscendent and material, group ad individual. So, the role of religion is not invention but limitation. Maybe.

    There is a difference between acquiring power versus maintaining power. So, once men became dominant, they no longer needed to regular have regular displays of power. On the other hand, women often borrow the clout of the men they are with for position, then women put in place the processes and associations to maintain their position in society. The society helps to set-up and maintain power structures, and the complexity within and between people (men and women) occurs at many levels simultaneously.

      On the other side of the coin, spirituality or religion has been a means of deliverance from oppression and suffering resulting from higher authorities, certain ways of thinking or desires.

      @@Halcyon737 That is an interesting take on what you think the Anti-Christ will be like. My perspective comes from scripture. Jesus said that many will come in my name (Jesus name) pretending to be from God and representing His kingdom but will not be, they are usurpers, deceivers, the people that will be deceived will be the people that think they believe in God. It is also reflected in the story of Calvary. Jesus on the cross says "forgive them for they know not what they do". I don't think he was asking the Father to forgive the woman caught in adultry, he had already forgiven her. I don't think that he was talking about sinners in general. He was talking about the relligious people, the Jewish clergy who thought they were doing God a favor by crucifying Jesus. These people were following what they believed, having misinterpreted the scripture, that obedience to the law and therefore enforcement of the law was how to please God. He also said it will be like in the days of Noah, people will be basically hedonists seeking only after their own pleasures. Today we have people who say they represent God but claim that riches are proof of the blessings of God and therefore they are authentic. That is far from what Jesus taught. IN my mind the American Prosperity Gospel is the closest thing to the anti-Christ that Jesus taught about. These things are not just arbitrary moral judgements, they are basic to the beleif in Jesus and the Kingdom and what kind of King Jesus is. For instance modern nationalism claiming that God favors one nation over another. Jesus said love not the world nor the things in the world. Lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven where things don't rust or decay. I see modern anti-Christians competing for earthly resources and making war against culture, when in fact Jesus has called his disciples to be examples of Kingdom principles which he taught. He said pray for your enemies, not persecute them.

      Well, it depends what you mean by profound, of course. Do we have experiences that are deeply meaningful? Of course. All the time. But it's a mistake to assume that the simple fact that humans experience transcendent feelings of meaning and purpose means that there's something fundamentally transcendent about human minds. Those profound feelings are the product of a material brain, shaped by evolutionary forces (probably because having profound experiences serves some adaptive purpose, but they may just be Gouldian spandrels). If you want to tell me that your experiences are so profound that a hypothetical superintelligent computer could never truly comprehend them, I'm going to have to disagree with you. I did, after all, say "profound and ineffable". The "ineffable" part is pretty important context to understanding what I meant.

    He spoke of the life sciences showing us that there is no such thing as "freedom" within the individual, but one could argue that we are free to the extent that we have the capacity to act against the optimal rational outcomes produced by the calculations that our bodies perform constantly to get at those optimally rational decisions.
    More sophisticated organisms with the ability to reason and think therefore have a greater degree of freedom than organisms without these faculties.
    To choose the irrational, even if every part of your body at the cellular, molecular, and even quantum level, and all of those biochemical algorithms that it is governed by determine what is the optimally rational thing to do for the sake of your own survival, is an exercise in freedom against those inherently deterministic forces.
    I am hungry, I should eat, but I can choose to not eat and die, and I can reflect on my death as I lay dying. The Baboon would not be able to do that. Therefore, the Baboon has no freedom if compared with a human who can freely choose to die, despite the symptoms of starvation and so forth that else would force an organism to do what is necessary to remain alive. In this sense, man is not a deterministic creature, unless our decision to choose to die is also only the result of randomness within our bodies, which I would not believe.
    I should say that the argument assumes that the person is not a masochist, or suffers from mental illness.
    To make a more practical illustration, consider a computer/desktop. My computer calculates and tells me want the answer is, but I don't have to take at all the computer's answer. It would be dumb not to because it is very likely the correct answer, but I have that free choice to not take that answer. So with humans and their degree of freedom from those internal deterministic forces.

    Damn man. This vision really relies on the future being forseeable.
    Because e.g. Google can only chose a mate for me in this idealistic world that Yuval proposes, if it really has the information to determine what will happen in the potential future my mate and I will experience.
    At one point in the talk, he said something important: The life sciences have progressed/will progress so far, that it will be possible for an outside entity to predict probabilities for us better than our feelings.
    While this is true, there is a key element that is NOT possible:
    No one entity, whether human nor machine, can predict the potential future of ITSELF.
    The Google entity might be able at some point, to know with high likelihood, how I will react to XY and as Google knows XY will happen from observation of the world, google can predict my reaction.
    But never will a machine or network be able to simulate itself in a way, where it can accurately predict it's own reaction.
    Because a reaction is the result of an input situation.
    Now you might want to say: "But google can hold in its knowledge its own reaction to every possible situation and therefore predict, what it will do, when a certain chain of situations accurs."
    But the key problem is:
    The prediction itself is held within the entity (e.g. google) in the present moment.
    It is part of the very situation for which we are trying to predict the reaction.
    This means, in order to know our reaction, we must know our reaction to a situation, in which we are holding a certain prediction in our mind.
    In an example (I try to predict myself):
    "What will I say in 5 seconds?" Lets look objectively at the process that is happening there:
    After I ask myself this question, I start to mentally compute my prediction for a correct answer. But the very fact that I am thinking about what I will say next is influencing the correct answer to the question.
    Lets say I come to the conclusion, that I will say "Yes!". But this leaves me with the opportunity to say "No", just out of shear spite.
    The answer to the question is influenced by my attempt to predict it, therefore I will never be able to predict what I say or do accurately without option to change!
    The Google entity might be able to: It can know with certainty how I react to certain things and therefore predict what my future looks like,
    but only if it doesn't interfere with me! Because, like me, it will forever be unable to predict its own next step and therefore the consequences of those steps are unforseeable.
    That is why you are creating a machine no smarter really than a human, just more well read. It has the same limits, that prohibit forseeing the future accurately and without fail.

      This guy and his WEF overlords are trying to create self-aware AI to worship, ignoring God's warning about worshiping idols made by the hand of man.

    Harari and JB Peterson should meet and exchange their very complementary and in parts fundamentally oppositional ideas.

      Not complimentary at all . Absolutely fundamentally opposed on every single central point. I'd love to see JP challenge the propandandist , and undo his spin .

      JP needs to rest and fully recovered before committing to public discussions. Let's hope in a year or so of the probability.
      In the meantime, Yuval Harari is the man of year!

    All of what he's trying to say (in the first half of the video):
    "Traditional religions are not relevant in this age because they don't help us advance in this world."
    But I think that every religion has an answer for this.

    In an ever expanding universe, we need to find our counterparts in creation. That’s the impulse behind building cars, trains, ships, planes and now space craft. We’re looking for each other.
    When singularity began its division into creation, to test for itself, the truest test imaginable, that by pure random chance, without any expectation, attachment, or any plan whatsoever. Unable to interfere to influence a specific outcome, that by dividing itself into particles, either unity would occur, or not.
    We can see that’s what’s happening. After 13.7 billion years of creation (division), by pure random chance these particles have self assembled the into the most amazing array of stars, planets, galaxies, amazing lifeforms and us. Us - the universe becoming conscious of itself. Yet this struggle, this division persists. Will we decide on unity, or not? Will we fulfill our destiny, or allow hate, war, greed and lust for power, the engine of self-destruction, drive us to self extinction? As above, so below. That’s our test. By only creating unity, by finding our energetic counterparts, cleaved from one another at the beginning of space and time, will unity occur, and achieve consciousness of the universe being us, and us being the universe, then back to singularity. Only better, since we’ll have experienced this amazing adventure of creation.
    And, if not, the universe will continue to expand, until eventually stars will be so distant, none will be visible in the night sky. Eventually, everything will break down until individual particles, separated by space, where no two particles shall ever meet again. It’s our choice and the time is now!

    Old video but still relevant. A couple things, there are arguments that traditional religious systems were prerequisites to the development of liberalism and natural laws. Another issue with a persons question from the audience, Marxism is based on irrational beliefs that were derived from Hegelian philosophy. It’s a utopian doctrine that believes in the inevitability of its predictions for the future. Therefore it is a religion, even if it is also secular…
