I loved this interview, but I also want to see Jon Stewart interviewing Harari. Fun fact- both of them are vegan. Jon even owns a farm animal sanctuary!

At kind of propaganda comment is this.

Yuval is one of the evilest people on the planet.

Yes, and preferably with a competent interviewer.

@@anypercentdeathless I enjoyed this interview with Ronnie, but I would also like to see him interviewed by Jon Stewart. Both Jon and Yuval are vegans, by the way. Jon owns a farm animal sanctuary. That could be one topic of their interview.

If I remember correctly, Harrari does silent retreats about 3 months per year. Then he of course writes books and half of the world wants to talk to him, so it will be a challenge booking him as a guest more often....

+ + To the power of 10. ..

unfortunately, there were times that in the process of understanding, violence was (inadvertently) used because of fear itself of the thing we’re trying to understand, damaging if not destroying the thing as a result

@@jorgeeporgee True that but alas, first step should be trying to understand.

Yeah, tell that to the Zionists

"Combat" and "Understanding" aint synonyms.

💯 Agreed 👏👏

His time in Australia perhaps? We count him as one of our own...

he studied law. of course he would be unintimidated. He's not dumb.

Very truth!

He fumbled through that like terrified child. What were you watching?

Comedy is the healing of the soul!

Where did you usually see him?

We try to stretch him to 6’ 5”

Honestly it seems like he has been carrying some of the burden of the Israel Palestine conflict lately (just off watching his videos, I don’t know him)

@@drewlovelyhell4892 he constantly does interviews, they're everywhere on UKposts

Yuval is a dangerous nihilist, there is grear reviews by scientific papers that showed the numbers of fallacies he put in his books.

Or "manure" content. Don't let him fool you. He's second in command with the WEFers and seems to be an expert at "double speak."

Agreed 💯

...nor too late brother!

It's a necessity to combat unnecessary fear.

I think that's illegal in Florida

@@boozmiller 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅🤦‍♂️😔

Respectfully, I think we didn't see the same interview.

Far from it. Ronnie wasn’t trying to ruffle any feathers. It was a focused and well executed interview. No one’s feathers got ruffled. Instead, there was an interviewer who was civil, allowed his interviewee to finish their thoughts and Chang was not beholden to Harari’s standing in academia.

Ronny came out on top here!

This was a very fun interview

This wasn't a debate. Ronnie was just trying to look at his new book from a humorous viewpoint. Ronnie said at the beginning that he respects the original book that Yuval is famous for.

I don't exactly know what "foil" means but for f. sake yes; what a great interview! 💕

I think Ronnie went too far because hosts are not supposed to antagonise guests. That said, Yuval was spewing some grade A rhetorical nonsense where you're supposed to fill it with your own prejudices and Ronnie was clearly struggling not to call him out

@@terry_the_terrible Go back to your little troll house.

Did Yuval need a foil? I say, no

Ronnie represented all of us on this interview!!! (I felt it)

That’s beautiful ✊🏻✊🏽✊✊🏾✊🏿

Well said my friend!✊️✊️✊🏾❤❤❤

yeah... except it's not in the hands of people who want to. There's nothing we can do.

@@user-cn8nu6lq4w WE are the MANY, they are the few... There's definitely things we can do to effect positive change... Working Together Works!!! ☺️

You're describing propaganda. Social change occurs when there's sacrifice, compromise and promises. With a dash of second and third place teaming up against the more destructive first place candidate because stability is better than ideology. Stories change all the time and people already seek the stories that are the most comforting for themselves. There's no magic bullet, no easy solution. There's just putting effort into relationships and yes, sometimes this is too expensive for some and it's easier to just obliterate one side completely and then heavily peddling the story that the losers were subhuman. Which is what is happening right now in Gaza.

I don't think that's what op meant. It's mind over matter, not history is written by the victors.

spoon kids from the matrix grew up i see. 🫡

@@terry_the_terrible Propaganda absolutely is effective in enacting social change. The question is simply: who gets to write the story? If you let rich oligarchs write the story you get Russia, If you let megacorporations and business millionaires write the story you get the USA, If you let unions write the story you get France, If you let the people write the story you get Switzerland, If you let a single political party write the story you get China, If you let theo/ethno-nationalists write the story you get Israel... etc... Compromise does not work, because whichever side of the compromise is most resistant to compromising will achieve more of their goals than the side more willing to compromise, which creates a cycle of less and less compromise - it's the Prisoner's Dilemma. You can see it in effect in the USA today. Sacrifice can help change the story, because it demonstrates how much you believe in your story which can be persuasive to people since most people don't believe as strongly in their story as you are in yours depending on the extent of your sacrifice. But it alone does nothing, just look at Aaron Bushnell (RIP), did the US government change it's stance because of his sacrifice? Promises are far too narrow for most people to care about for more than a few months, they get broken all the time for all kinds of different reasons. Promises are temporary ways to convince people to work together, but they don't last beyond a predefined scope. If you want someone to work with you in the long term, you need to convince them to believe the same stories as you. Since you brought up Gaza, nothing will change in the Israel-Palestine situation until Israel changes their story from "This is our land, we turned it from mud huts into a thriving modern country because we are smarter and more industrious that those living here before", to "We colonized this land by exiling & murdering millions of people (which has left them poor and resentful), and are only able to build & protect our homes thanks to international financing from Europe & the USA." Because in the former there is no reason for them to reconcile with the Palestinians, so they won't do so.

@@terry_the_terriblePropaganda has been a necessary tool to start actual change in basically every major social change/issue in history. It is critical

Well said!

i do want to turn it off 3 minutes in...maybe i will idk

I’m sorry sapiens logic is wrong reason why we are addicted to sugar is because we get a dopamine rush from sugar which our brains get addicted to

Sorry to say that it is a very poorly fact checked book. Look into some of the academic criticism and you will probably see that the book only succeeds by making sensational claims. It seems like an exciting book until you dig below the surface.

@@JosephKelly-lt3hc The strength of the book is in its brain stimulating ideas, clever conclusions and cohesive views. Some facts being questionable are mere blemish.

Great book. Not a surprise religious fundamentalists hate it.

Yeah, I found it full of super interesting mind opening ideas, despite being far from academic or objective.

Addition? He's been on for years and years

hes probably more a part of the show than an adddition now.

For sure

I agree that he is awesome. He said that he is atheist but this interview didn't cover the fact that he is vegan. Fun fact- so is Jon Stewart. Jon even owns a farm animal sanctuary!

Which Part exactly....the whole Palestine genocide that he supports and the whole PANDEMOC that he was part of the planning team?

We need more people like Yuval. What an impressive human being.

NO, No he’s Not…. You need to do a little more research on him.

Such a great human, based on what?

This MF'r is all about depopulation. He is best buddies with Klaus Schwab.

@@Maria-EU Go back to playing with your front hole. What the f. is wrong with people today? Jeezf.

Agreed, Ronny needs to hedge ;) And strengthen this ability on different platforms if he wants to reach his extremely high potential

Please bring him back. I'm even more disappointed in Ronny now after watching Yuval's view points on Israel and their extreme right.

Yuval has his own channel and does plenty of serious interviews. However, this one was a fun change :)

I feel the same. I'm a huge fan of Ronny and think he is great on The Daily Show both as a correspondent and host. I also wish he'd taken this interview more seriously though.

Ronny is just a interviewer @@Seebass820

Do you mean "eyes wide open" to his country slaughtering and ethnically cleansing an entire people?

Because they do it on purpose, highlight what will make people laugh and gives him the opportunity to answer the questions seriously as to why they are needed.

I see! But it feels uncomfortable (to me) watching it, so not all that funny.

I completely agree. The Colbert one was a bit surprising because he is a bright guy. Ronnie is just a clown. That's his job so it's fine. I think intelligent people have trouble with Yuval because he tells the simple truth that most everything we fill our days with is made up nonsense that divides us arbitrarily and at any time we could stop believing it and make a better world. Colbert didn't like it because it because to accept the idea of everything being stories we tell ourselves would be to admit Catholicism is a con. Colbert isn't ready to admit that yet.

Thank you for your comments, I had a similar experience and thought I would see that reflected more in the commentary. I haven’t seen Colbert’s interview and now won’t. The level of boorishness and immaturity in ronnie‘s interview style here was so disappointing, not least because it continued to interrupt Yuval’s fascinating ideas (isn’t HIM talking about the book the very reason he’s on there?) i’m OK with that being an affect of the more one-dimensional comedic skits, but I hope for a lot more in this kind of interview. Ronnie did a great job, striking the balance between sincerity, humor, and respect when he did the piece with the Chinatown interviews in response to Fox News’ ridiculousness.

And when horrible people CONSTANTLY fear monger, it really sticks with the people that believe ’life is unfair!’ And we all know how these people then react. And it doesn’t always work out well for those of us that use our critical thinking skills.

Fair is a judgement. Someone can take everything you own and your potential future, and declare it "fair". Without definition and guiding philosophy "fair" means nothing, a weasel word.

_A weasel word, or anonymous authority, is a word and phrase aimed at creating an impression that something specific and meaningful has been said when in fact only a vague, ambiguous, or irrelevant claim has been communicated._

ie: *Illogical or irrelevant statements *Glittering or vague generalizations

​@@bardsamok9221The most intelligent comment I've read on here so far. 👏

People sound like their talking down to him at times (patronizing word choice and voice tonality).

Please, tell me, what was one tough question? He looked and sounded like a fool.

@craigmilton9892 He pushed him numerous times on the content of the book 🙄 Did you even watch the interview, or just a hateful 🤡 trolling comment sections?

Cheing

Massive potential

Ouch! That's a killer burn.

Culture is also regional, and that’s a relationship with how our ancestors dealt with the physical geography. In some cases, small biological changes happened.

@@MsLemon42 I should have been more accurate, it's a combination of evolution and biology. Region can account for some degree of evolution.

There's a GREAT documentary that goes into detail about this (and why companies load their products with fat/sugar/salt). It's called "Food Inc." I think it's on youtube.UKposts. (yep, just checked)

If you haven't heard of it yet, you might be interested in the "biopsychosocial model" which helps to explain why humans behave the way we do. Biology is definitely part of it, but the other aspects are worth considering ^_^ @@walkingstick6655

Do you have an example of value being in belief itself? And/Or of 'Belief' creating value per se? Or are you saying 'the principle of which you believe' holds the value? Belief itself and a principle that is believed are two different concepts of course. The map is not the terrain and the label is not the item. The process is not the product. The superset is not the subset etc. Just wondering your thoughts because you also find it interesting. Also if you're interested in further discussion, how do you define 'value' exactly? (Re: The context above.)😊

@@bardsamok9221, the comment is showing appreciation of Harari’s observations.

Based on his other books I wouldn't recommend it. Quite poorly fact checked, feels like he writes down all his shower thoughts and just runs with it.

@@JosephKelly-lt3hcExactly. Harari is a hack

@@JosephKelly-lt3hc Personally I do some of my best thinking on the toilet. Maybe I should try the shower instead if I want a best selling book eh?

@@JosephKelly-lt3hc That's literally what he does and doesn't pretend it's anything else. You do know what philosophy is right?
