This video's music is kind of quirky, slightly syncopated and easily draws my attention away from the verbal content. The overall repetitiveness of the melody slightly dulls my mind into a stupor relieved only by clicking off the video. I figured I was the only one who couldn't handle it but there are a few of us apparently. I don't have the opportunity to sit and read the subtitles of the video, so it's listen or nothing. Maybe if there was an app where I can get the subtitles read out loud by some AI voice.....that would be kind of funny.

Ants are not cognitive beings. They respond solely to chemical cues in their environment in order to cooperate. There is no such thing as an innovative, aspirational, rebellious, or deviant ant. Therefore, there is a significant difference between narrative driven human cooperation and evolutionary programmed action by ants. Humans can cooperate in large numbers because narratives effectively transit and translate abstract ideas, concepts, and perspectives across vast distances, languages, cultures, and time.

Humans are not superior to other life forms, just differently adapted. Our idea of superiority is misinformed, in that we use our egotiscally created yard-stick to judge superiority - it goes like this, other life forms are inferior because they cannot do or achieve the things of humans, and yet seen from other life forms, there are many things they are capable of that humans cannot do. Still sticking to ants, as example of the latter, they can lift and carry weights many more times heavier than their own body weight, which is not the case with humans, they build sophisticated nests (their cities) with roads, tunnels and other structures more complex and sophisticated than humans. They have not built weapons of mass destruction that has the potential to wipe them and other life forms from earth. There cooperative organisation abilities are unparalleled in human organization.

Science is a fiction too and works as a religion. It is called scientism. The core belief is that humans can solve everything with reason, through science. Will not happen. We can't fix things on a global level, not even on a national level either, really. As a mass we need a collapse every so often. It is built into our essence. The downfall of the Roman empire was one such collapse where just about all achievements of technology and social organization were abandoned. It was a gradual process. It is through collapse that (human) life truly renews itself. Same on an individual level. You will not discover your core essence without hitting rock bottom.

I do think there is a danger in taking a strong po-mo argument against truth, ie: it is all power-based and subjectively biased. To complicate matters, facts, like fictions, must also be assessed according to their values and dangers. Things get fuzzy pretty quickly.

Why though during the 1960s and 1970s were people healthier or, at least, lower in weight? Maybe they over-ate; after all, there'd have been plenty of food in the refrigerator. But, at least, the food they ate was less unhealthy. The combination of food companies, developing cheaper, less healthy food items and the advertising that promotes those foods, is to blame. I recall during the 1970s there'd only be one main meal of the day: dinner. That would be as much a way of bringing the family together as it was eating. And the food would be, usually, two types of vegetables, potatoes and a protein. I think I've answered my own question: it's the proliferation of garbage food, peddled by food companies that want to lower costs and maximise profits and, of course, advertising agencies are complicit in this as it's easy money.

That seems to be an American thing? I know that tons of lobbying from food manufacturers has repealed many laws about food content there, something that doesn't exist nearly to the same degree in many other countries. I've had American versions of some food we have here in Canada, and whoa..... more sugar, fat and salt! Also, for the first time in a century, average American life-span has decreased from what it was a few years previously, and even then it wasn't ramping up as fast as it once did. That's not the case for most other countries.

Professor Harari, you have clearly articulated the issues related to human and societal behaviors. I enjoyed listening to your comments and gaining insight into current global events. However, I believe that demonizing large corporations such as Google or others is not constructive. Their contributions to science, technology, and health are immense. While I acknowledge your concerns, it's important to recognize that these corporations facilitate our ability to listen to and watch discussions like yours with great ease.

Truth!, authoritarian fascism is all about "belief" in the "perfect," "strong", "infallible" "dear leader". The hierarchical thinking (together with intelligence) in people, the tendency of some to just believe and obey a certain kind of person who flips the switches deep in their brains due to something in evolution, the Stalin's, Hitler's, Mussolini's, Orban's Trump's that should never rationally be given any power but just have that sick "charisma" that flips the switches in their followers brains.

AI is a hybrid, in that it can appear like human intelligence and much of its output would be indistinguishable from a human with good vocabulary, grammar and punctuation (and enough time come up with it). However, the grotesque errors that happen with it are "alien" in the sense that no human that stupid would be smart enough to come up with it in the first place, if that makes any sense. And it's in this "appearing intelligent" part of AI that makes it the most dangerous. The problem with AI isn't that it will become sentient or conscious or "alive" or anything remotely like that. Rather, it's that a critical mass of humans will bestow upon it these attributes which don't exist. That's why I think public education about HOW the AI does its "trick" is very important. Once you understand it at a certain level, you're only impressed with how clever the algorithm is, not at how clever AI itself is. It's a bit like psychics, faith healers and magicians etc. who claim what they're doing is real. If you really believe them, bad stuff can happen. But once you learn how the trick can be done and stop believing it, you can still be damn impressed with the knowledge, talent, skill and "algorithm" involved in the charade.

he said most peaceful era . not an absolute peaceful era.. there is no time that is absolute peaceful .. when nations were not created as it is today and only kingdoms were there, there was constant invasions for resources. when nation were created and global rules were establisted, different UN bodies were created. For the 1st time in the history of humanity global human rights were written. and certain level of healthcare, human rights and democracy were enforced. before that you can can be killed if you belong to cretain group of people in certain area. for example black people in america, red indians in america, Australia, British in India can kill anyone without any consequences. And World War I, II, Cold war ect in just 100 years. definitely not the peaceful time. He is talking about 8.1 Billion humans and on a time scale of human civilization.

Cassius: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings." We are underlings to our evolutionarily developed behaviours, and our rate of technological power increases exponentially while the rate of change via evolution is very slow by comparison. Hence we are faulted by what we are, and the rate of adaptation that is possible versus the rate at which our power has and continues to increase. We do not have the ability or the will to get off of this treadmill, and so we are doomed by ourselves. If - a big if I will grant you - AI becomes AGI and does so faster than our trajectory towards annihilation - there may be some possibility that we become benignly constrained. I really think that this may be our only real hope, since we do not possess the capacity to slow ourselves down, and we get into games theory behavioural traps such as "race to the bottom" and "chicken" repeatedly. We underestimate the slower build problems of climate change and react through anxiety and chronic stress in increasingly irrational and dangerous ways. Our cooperative social behaviours have - as Harari points out - amplified our power, and without any compensating ability to constrain the irrational evolutionary drivers that compel our behaviours. (The stories we tell ourselves create cooperation and give us far too much power without the wisdom to constrain ourselves. We always reach for the one ring of power.) This is our Fermi Paradox problem, and if we are extremely lucky, an AI - whether you call it Artificial or Alien Intelligence - must be a necessary and benign governor on our destructive and non-adaptive evolutionary biases. We simply do not have the time to evolve out of these behavioural traps, so we had better hope that an AGI emerges soon, and that it is not burdened with anything akin to our evolutionary biases. Otherwise, between a human created climate catastrophe and nuclear weapons, we will annihilate ourselves, and there may not be enough time after that for a benign intelligence to evolve before the sun expands and makes life on Earth not possible. (That leaves about a billion years, - and the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old - for another intelligent and less dangerous species to evolve, so let's call it two mass extinct events worth of time.) Who knows, we may get lucky, but I would not count on it.
