Homo Deus: A BRIEF HISTORY OF TOMORROW with Yuval Noah Harari

Historian Yuval Noah Harari has taken the world on a tour through the span of humanity, from apes to rulers of the world. Harari became an international sensation when he argued in his best-selling book Sapiens that humans conquered the world through our ability to believe in collective myths about gods, money and freedom. In the highly-anticipated sequel Homo Deus, Harari looks to the future, exploring how godlike technologies such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering will define what we become.

The introduction was amazing too, Great job bringing a brief resume of Sapiens to talk about Homo deus. Impressive!

When I read Sapiens A brief history of Humankind my perspective is totally changed....Thank you Harari and love from India

[sedeslav]

According my searches for all this years YouTube recommended me exactly Yuval Noah Harari

[yesreneau]

I think I'm coming to know something as "truth", and then Yuval comes and shakes the very foundations of my beliefs. Lol, I love it

[stevenweliczko]

"Freedom and feelings mean nothing". Got it. Would like to see him explain that to a grizzly bear in the Rockies

Humanity over humanism. A best and clear way to live

[squamish]

It is surreal that this is either the beginning of a new era for humanity or the end of everything.

[richardsalu]

Prof Harari is simply the world's best historian, I just can't stop watching and reading him.

Humanism is when you overcome your fear to save someone. Humanism is not when you listen to your feelings but when you can sacrifice yourself and initiate action that seems against all your calculations, feelings or algorithms.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau said about Democracy, ‘The problem with the principle of “the majority rules” is that the majority is, by-&-large, ill-informed.’

Introduce the man, sit down and let him speak.

I am pretty grateful to have a man like that tonight...
The pattern of thinking and the way he explain is extraordinary.
Love from Bangladesh 😍🇧🇩🇧🇩

Listening to harari brings to mind Jung's question: "Is the individual knowingly in relationship to something infinite or not?" If no, his life is wasted, the earth is barren, desolate. From the drivel of death above, uttered almost gleefully, sounds as if someone needs to get related.

My much respectful professor 🥰 I have read all three books of him “Homo Sapiens, Homo Deus and 21 lessons for 21 century “ and i will read it all over again for sure. I highly recommend for those who haven’t read those books yet. They’re mind-blowing, provocative and pragmatic about what our society is going on now, and they lead you to various different perspectives on numerous of different particular subjects in life. And I admit to say that those books has changed my life forever 💛

When fools think themselves wise they say silly things, like this guy. Just because one fails to recognize the errors in their reasoning it doesn't mean no one else will. As a truly intelligent man once said, "The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane."

This is the man of sin who lifts himself above the knowledge of the Word of God.

Enchanting as always Thanks all involved making the best happen

"Cogito ergo sum" takes a different sense altogether! This feels like the description of a meta-algorithm to optimise Survival and Specie Continuation.

After discovering Sapiens, I have read every book Garrari has written, every talk and interview, even the graphic novels. I have loved reading and considering his ideas, love being inspired by these concepts, love hearing him communicate these. I encourage everyone to give the graphic novels to the young people in your life so they, too, can see this version of human history and consider these thought provoking viewpoints.

Doctor yuval Noah is such a good intellectual, who opens the door to us for true knowledge and understanding of our existence …. Love from Iran
