Yuval Noah Harari - “Nexus” & Threat of AI in the Information Age | The Daily Show

I love Yuval. He's my favorite author right now. He's usually very serious in interviews, because he writes about serious things. But seeing him laugh and light up with Jordan is extra-wonderful.

"Sapiens" by Yuval is a universal must read - if everyone understood our anthropic history and how it has moulded the way we behave, there would be more compassion, tolerance, and solidarity in the world.

If only a larger portion of humanity had that desire to continue to develop their minds and learn. As a former teacher, I'm sorry to report that there is great resistance to learning and continuing to hone critical thinking skills beyond those required to get money and material goods.

"We need to slow down" and Jordan was right to ask how that's possible in a world that values profits over all.

I got a letter in the mail last week saying that I had to show proof of citizenship for my voting but when I called the clerk office they said that it was invalid and fishing for information so please be careful 💙🦋🌊

This conversation is hugely important -- I'm Gen X and keep thinking about all the ways I've allowed the algorithm to creep into my thinking, and I'm not even on FaceBook. We've basically let the algorithms program us, already (yes, including the YT algorithms...). Gonna unplug and ponder this deeply.

This is a truly great interview with an intriguing guest. No fluff, just honest and thoughtful answers to Jordan's questions. He reminds me of Carl Sagan in the way he dictates his thoughts.

Ahhhhhh like a brain pallette cleanse, listening to Yuval, ❤❤❤

Ari Melber did a lengthy interview with Yuval on MSNBC which is worth checking out too. Fascinating writer.

Cesar Millan , the Dog Whisperer , always said that a dog jumping around , all excited was not happiness but craziness . A truly happy dog is a calm dog . In the wild the pack would " check " the one acting crazy .
