In a wide-ranging conversation with Ian Bremmer, filmed live at the historic 92nd Street Y in NYC, bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari delves into the foundational role of storytelling in human civilization, the existential challenges posed by artificial intelligence, the geopolitical implications of the Ukraine war, and the most pressing questions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Harari argues that unlike other species, humans have thrived on their unique ability to construct and believe in shared stories, which has underpinned the formation of societies, governments, and laws. However, this same capability has led to wars, inequality, and exploitation. “Humans don't fight over territory and food,” Harari tells Bremmer. They fight over imaginary stories in their minds."
Harari and Ian discuss the current global crises, including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, as moments where humanity's collaborative superpower appears to falter. On the Ukraine war, he says that the implications of a Russian victory would spell the end of the global order as we know it. "We could already be in the midst of World War III that started on the 24th of February 2022 with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and we just don't know it yet."
They discuss AI's emerging role in creating and disseminating stories, which represents a new frontier. Harari warns that AI could eventually dominate the world's narratives, making democracy untenable and posing unprecedented challenges to both autocracies and democracies alike. "For the first time in history, we are losing power as a species at a very rapid pace, and similarly, we are also losing control of the stories that we believe."
He also specifically addresses the critical situation in Israel, criticizing government attempts to undermine democratic institutions and pointing to an ideological battle that risks altering the essence of Judaism and Israeli identity. Harari also stresses the importance of reconciling support for Palestinian rights with the defense of Israel's existence, challenging the narrative that these positions are inherently contradictory.

Nailed it "People fight over stories in their minds"

@Frontline_view_kaiser 20 днів тому

That's bullshit though. Stories are usually a way to cover and explain the real reasons, which are ultimately the same as for animals. Jerusalem is the perfect example. In the 7th Century AD the Arabs had no spiritual connection to that City. Neither did the Romans. They conquered it anyways even though they had "enough" territory. As if that could ever exist. Same for the Russians. You have to be actually retarded if you believe the war in Ukraine is about something other than territorial expansion and imperial ambitions

@vladdumitrica849 Місяць тому

The problem with fights and wars is due to the fact that in the societies we live in, relationships between people are more competitive than cooperative and not the other way around, as it was at the beginning of human civilization. We live in societies that reward individualism, selfishness, exploitation of others, rather than cooperation and help between individuals.

His thoughts on “stories” reminds me of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling 30 or more years ago regarding the “flag burning” issue. The court recognized it as legitimate “free speech” and was not unconstitutional. I don’t know what Justice it was, but in writing about the decision, the Justice talked about the power of “simple crude symbols” (the flag) that have the ability to create strong emotional feelings in human beings.

Enjoyed the gibe that Harari might actually be "worse than us"... I appreciate the conversation, and Harari's unwavering commitment to his principle of speaking his truth no matter how hard it may be. His meditation practice, even if not 'religious', is undoubtedly nurturing his compassion and we need a lot more of that in the world. Without it, the clear thinking Harari espouses and role models is simply not possible - and that is a time-tested, ancient truth that is seldom given the recognition it deserves in the cut and thrust of modern-day intellectual debates.

One of the most constant characteristics of beliefs is their intolerance. The stronger the belief, the greater its intolerance. Men dominated by a certitude cannot tolerate those who do not accept it. So, the masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.

Democracy is when those who make decisions on your behalf have the duty to ask for your consent first. Today's republics are actually modern oligarchies where the interest groups of the rich are arbitrated by the people, that is, you can choose from which table of the rich you will receive crumbs. The "fatigue" of democracy occurs when there is a big difference between the interests of the elected and the voters, thus people lose confidence in the way society functions. As a result, poor and desperate citizens will vote with whoever promises them a lifeline, i.e. populists or demagogues. The democratic aspect is a collateral effect in societies where the economy has a strong competitive aspect, that is, the interests of those who hold the economic power in society are divergent. Thus those whealty, and implicitly with political power in society, supervise each other so that none of them have undeserved advantages due to politics. For this reason, countries where mineral resources have an important weight in GDP are not democratic (Russia, Venezuela, etc.), because a small group of people can exploit these resources in their own interest. In poor countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, etc.) the main exploited resource may even be the state budget, as they have convergent interests in benefiting, in their own interest, from this resource. It is easy to see if it is an oligarchy because in a true democracy laws would not be passed that would not be in the interest of the many. The first modern oligarchy appeared in England at the end of the 17th century. After the bourgeois revolution led by Cromwell succeeded, the interest groups of the rich were unable to agree on how to divide their political power in order not to reach the dictatorship of one. The solution was to appoint a king to be the arbiter. In republics, the people are the arbiter, but let's not confuse the possibility of choosing which group will govern you with democracy, that is, with the possibility of citizens deciding which laws to pass and which not to. The solution is modern direct democracy in which every citizen can vote, whenever he wants, over the head of the parliamentarian who represents him. He can even dismiss him if the majority of his voters consider that he does not correctly represent their interests. It's like when you have to build a house and you choose the site manager and the architect, but they don't have the duty to consult with you. The house will certainly not look the way you want it, but the way they want it, and it is more certain that you will be left with the money given and without the house. It is strange that outside of the political sphere, nowhere, in any economic or sports activity, will you find someone elected to a leadership position and who has failure after failure and is not fired after 4 years. We, the voters, must be consulted about the decisions and if they have negative effects we can dismiss them at any time, let's not wait for the soroco to be fulfilled, because we pay, not them. In any company, the management team comes up with a plan approved by the shareholders. Any change in this plan must be re-approved by the shareholders and it is normal because the shareholders pay.

Yes there is a conflict in Europe there are some conflict in Asia, but it's not World War II. Only with hindsight can we say "Oh yeah this is when it stared" We could already be in the midst of World War III, that started in 24 of February in 2022." That is something I never thought about. WW3 could already have started...

There is always an ideology to justify more power, territory, money etc. Ideology is not the main reason why conflicts happen. Ideology is used as an operating system for flexible cooperation true that but the main reasons are always primal in nature.

Not sure I understood Bremmer's parting shot about Harari being better than everyone else. It came across to me as a slight. I doubt that Bremmer read Harari's book (the one for adults), because if he did, he'd know the Harari became veganish [sic] when his research for the book revealed the gross mistreatment of animals raised for food. The world would be a much better place if more people had the courage to do what is obviously better for animals, the planet and themselves.

Democracy is flawed when it comes to producing an informed popular mandate. Traditionally, that's why it isn't used to produced mandates. That's what the representatives are for. (Advised by their authorities, popular, professional, academic or otherwise.) Democracy is better understood as a method of holding representatives accountable to the governed. I prefer to frame my criticism of democracy (as currently constructed) as failing in regards to holding governing elites accountable, and failing to produce a new generation of political and business leaders. The idea that democracy (as currently constructed) is functioning as a fair gauge of popular sentiment, producing a popular mandate that the average person can understand, is more than a little misguided! I'm not sure who's still doing that in what part of the world. This misconception, and partial understanding of democracy is part of the problem. When it comes to holding power to account, even the naming of the problem is challenging, and often overlooked, by some.

Harari misinterprets "collaboration" and think the world has advanced through it. After all, in ancient times, one individual human couldn't bring down a mammoth alone. However, even in hunting a mammoth in the past, it's the individual human who could plan for it. It's the planning of individuals that matter in human progress, not the physical, later collaborations. Harari also repeats this fallacy in his book, Sapiens, and asserts a number of other fallacies, for calls corporations, money, etc as myths, in a book that was supposed to be about history, not personal, often erroneous assertions. We very rarely reward groups of people, we reward individuals. The money that Mr Harari has been making through his selling of his personal assertions isn't a myth, it's real. Based on imperial data, the more you separate individuals, the more successful the society becomes and the more technological and scientific progress it achieves. Immediate, collective collaborations is probably the one factor that brings the evil side of humans out. It's the collective individual human creativities, and technological achievements that are handed down and recorded for the next individuals that matter and deeply confuses Mr Harari.

Noah's main idea is that 'humans have made these stories and so humans can change them', but root of these ideas for their believers are Holy, given by God. Secular persons agrees with Noah but not any believers. So as Weber points out the most fundamental change happens when religion changes in a society. A real transformation, such it took place and gave birth to many civilization of the past... Perhaps such a world changing belief is already spreading around the world preaching: Oneness of Religion! Oneness of Humanity! The World is but One country and mankind its citizen. Perhaps new stories are already being told and in time they will come to fruition.

What I'M saying is when i see a white ,black, yellow blue car, human, animal etc .... immediately I see a blue car, blue human or blue animal. It's VERY EASY for me to not place a human above or below the rest due to said noticed color BUT WE ALL NOTICE THE damn COLOR! To deny this, to present some alternative REALITY where this wouldn't occur is utter NONSENSE. Well Yuri wrote an entire book on this NONSENSE, IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OFF BY HUMANS, premise solving racism... Yeah ....

Please, here is a second comment, but what I think Israel is not understanding and what is getting in the way of getting along with her neighbors is that the Palestinian people for example, are so opposite Israeli people and these major differences can boil over into conflicts and although they believe in other religious stories and analyze situations in completely different ways than Israelis, one can learn to accept these chasms of misunderstanding. Be kind to each other no matter what anyone says. This is where Israel has to step back and realize that the way to go ahead now is to not over-react to the mindset of a people like the Palestinians that differs to such a degree, it is to try and accept that the gift the Palestinians are offering is to make Israelis kinder and be more open to other ways of thinking in spite of the wall of mistrust that divides the two peoples. What is the way ahead? Water down the mountain is my philosophy; the path of least resistance. What is needed is to create something from the ashes of the current war that will show the world how to put an end to warring factions of neighboring countries. What is it that could be created? Yuval, Ian, I have said it before, so please bear with me to say it again. The way to peace in the middle east is to build nature reserves for endangered species of plant, animal and aquatic life. All religious groups, all peoples respect one thing more than anything else and will never outwardly destroy it: nature. Here is the solution: rescue nature in the middle east and you rescue a peace that I truly believe will be our legacy and last for centuries. One square kilometer of land could be enough to start transforming burned out buildings into sanctuaries where endangered faun and fauna can survive and thrive...

You want them gone. They want you gone. You are all madmen who curse your own children.

WWIII started with a YT comment from a deaf Palestinian who rather than consider the merits of the thesis presented in the video, that stories/narratives define how we live and treat others, stuck to the Palestinian Party line of land dispossession and recovery by any means necessary. My private thought(Like Hitler, a real dumb f*ck.)

i cannot watch this historian that distorts. NO value in listening to such a "historian" with little credibility. not watching the other Gzero clips.

Ian, I am taking a chance in criticising you, but you are improperly dressed to be on stage in faded jeans and sneakers. You are one of the most prominent geo-political people; a leader in the world. You look too casual to be on stage with one of the world's most distinguished historians.
