Yuval Noah Harari and Jared Diamond in conversation

Yuval Noah Harari and Jared Diamond in a conversation moderated by Ronaldo Lemos during the 'Global Citizen' event at Teatro Santander - São Paulo, Brazil - November 6, 2019.

7:39 is probably the best answer Ive ever heard. People who read both of their books, cannot help not notice how Harari is influenced by Diamond. Both of their books are absolutely mind blowing, in terms of understanding the Human condition. I'm thrilled that they had had this talk, good thing we have technology that can enable such moments ;)

1:33 Harari fills the glass of his collocutor. I've seen him doing it in several other debates, this sweet man.

[sohamdeshmukh]

I would always think yuval’s books are inspired by Guns, Germs and steels. Anyone here 🤞✋🏻☝️🙋🏻‍♂️

WHAT!?! This is the crossover I've always wanted, but never thought I'd have! Legit dream come true.

[klausgartenstiel]

this pairing is literally like a dream i once had.

[nomorephones]

Wtf.... This is by far the most underrated conversation ever.

Yuval: "If you don't have a smart fone, you are a really important person"

The relatively small number of views of this video tells me that few people realize that these two men - Jared Diamond and Yuval Hahari - are perhaps the two most important historians of our time. Having them on one stage is an absolute treat. Yes, Diamond has gotten a bit old and doesn't come across as crisp and clear as the much younger Harari. But Diamond's written works speak for themselves. If you haven't read any of his books, consider doing so. You'll never see the world in the same way again.

Thank you, Yuval, for sharing this wonderful talk with the rest of us.

I recently read Sapiens and learned Jared influenced Yuval. I looked him up then realized we had crossed paths. He lectured in my physiology class in 1990 at UCLA in grad school. I thought then he was pretty special. It’s a treat to listen to these 2 sharing a stage.

I'm really sad, that the two historians I most admire were just here on my city and learned it now, few days ago.

Jared Diamond wrote some amazing books and deserves huge respect. In this interview however his age and also his politics are not helping in addressing the problems of the future in a constructive manner.

[mateoito]

Jared’s accent is one of the most unique ones out there

[Tina-dilx]

I feel fortunate to be able. Access discussions and lectures like this and other top class lecturers.
This is a format that was not as easily available, even 20 years ago.

[soo-hyunhan]

Harari is the succession of Prof. Diamond. Hope and believe that both of you will give us the vision for future.

[WezMwangi]

Oh wow! This is gold. Pure gold. Two of my favourite authors being interviewed in on sitting! Fabulous!

[tdreamgmail]

2 humble literal geniuses. What a delight!

I'm so glad that you came to Brazil. My country is going through a lot of environmental and political issues and I hope that debates you brought help us to find wise solutions. Thank you!

Such a delight this enterview, I read both of their books namely "Germs, Guns and Steel" and "Sapiens" and I think this made a great difference for me on my outlook on life, especially regarding religion.

Wonderful, insightful enterview masterfully conducted by Ronaldo Lemos, so I'd like to say congratulations!
