The Future of Education - Yuval Noah Harari & Russell Brand - Penguin Talks

Yuval Noah Harari spoke with 350 young people in South London together with comedian and presenter Russell Brand. In this first-ever Penguin Talk, Harari shared his thoughts on the future of humanity in an honest conversation with Brand and the young audience about the challenges facing the next generation (and how they might be overcome).

[@harshitmalhotra4845]

Russel Brand did a really good job here. He made the interview light and enjoyable, and at the same time probed Yuval to go deeper into his ideas than I've seen him go in other interviews.

Brief summary: - Rather than being "exploited", most of the people could be "irrelevant"to the monetary part of the society (such as currently homeless humans) - If Artificial intelligence will know you better than you it can predict and/or shape your moves - Philosophical questions (such as: "what is human") have a sort of urgency to address. - If you want to have an impact, joining or creating some organizations could be helpful (human animal is stronger when they co-op) - Focus is the key (distraction distorts your reality) - Learn how to learn. The question is "how do I find my way in enormous amount of information"? -Start with a question relevant to your life (such as: Why men dominates woman in most of the societies in the last 10.000 years?; or why most humans eat other animals?). Let questions lead you into an interdisciplinary and exciting path. - Can we create a situation that we would not use the words like "irrelevant humans"? - The difference between "prophecy" and "possibility" is important. You can create better future(s)

[@jonnyholmberg]

I agree. Fun fact: I taught 16-19-year-olds for more than 40 years. I always cringed at the inflexible system, but did everything in my power to focus on the only thing that matters: guiding young people into the wonderful realm of thinking for yourself as free, responsible, critical, curious, flexible human beings. There are, and have been, many of us teachers who have done this through the the years. Not all soldiers in the army of indoctrination have only obeyed orders, but we have used school as a platform to do what is possible. If you haven’t met teachers like this, I feel sorry for you. It IS possible to do a lot of good from within a system. A bit tricky, perhaps, but hey, everything that matters is. At least people should try to do what they can while waiting for some better educational system to arise. The points they made in this video about lifelong learning focused on your own deep questions was brilliant, imho.

It’s one thing for me to understand who I am through an algorithm, it’s quite another thing for POWER to have this information.

[@zisananter]

I was born in 1952 . I had redesigned my life over and over again perhaps 15 times. And at the time I had no idea about AI and adapting to new conditions. I still think all the adaptations I had to come up with was nothing personal. It was not about me. If any individual finds adapting to the new circumstances I do not have the heart to tell them that they do not have what it takes. I do not think not everyone has to be that flexible. I do not think that We have any right to demand ways to treat everyone as if they have to change at any given moment of their life. No. I feel that some people cannot change that fast and we have to find ways to create a system that is kinder and more gentle to some of the people if they cannot adopt fast enough. This is the critical point. Let's not forget we humans care for children, physically sick or handicapped , mentally not ready, psychologically fragile. We have to find ways so we do not push them around. This is a humane way. Disadvantaged groups of any humans or any other organic life must be treated with this in mind.

Why is "adapting to new circumstances" a good thing? Far too vague. Is it a handicap to refuse to "adapt" to the hacking he is describing? I can think of a way to resist algorithms -- it may not work every time, but I already know it works many times: do NOT function in a single language. That alone builds your resistance to manipulation.

[@64jcl]

I am sure people will participate in the rat race in varying degrees of interest and no doubt reap the benefits from it accordingly. What's important is there to be a system to handle those who are unable to take part of it for many different reasons. The problem I think is that those people are often tossed in the group of people who don't want to participate out of sheer laziness which makes e.g. UBI (Universal Basic Income) quite impossible to get through any government. But the fact that the future will have so much automation that it will be hard for many to find jobs, means people need some kind of security through UBI types of programs, and the acceptance that some people find their own way to participant through sharing creative work or social work. I am sure as the amount of work people actually need to do in order to have a normal life falls to zero, these things will be impossible to ignore unless governments actually want half of their population as homeless people. It will however be interesting to see what the psychological effect will be for people who are trained in the old "work for pay" model we all live by now.

He’s leaving things out of his discussions. He’s talking to some anti-freedom people, to put it simply.

Russell is a good moderator 🔥🙌🏿

[@chuongtruongphamhoang8213]

The MC is really funny and lead the talk smoothly!

[@DaveYoungcoachandmentor]

Great discussion! Thank you. Yuval said early in his talk that we should look to our governments to ensure that the youth of today receive the kind of education they need to survive in the future. I would suggest that national politicians are likely to be the future 'useless people'. My government (in Africa) has done nothing to help the people. All it has done is line the pockets of the politicians. Education is already being re-engineered today by the private sector - Udacity, Coursera come to mind. There are huge changes taking place through these and other similar organisations and their association with universities around the world. So the future of the youth of today depends on THEM. Thomas Friedman in his book 'Thank You for Being Late' suggests that the previous 'digital divide' between the educated and the lesser educated has gone and the new divide is the Motivational Divide. The youth of today need to be intrinsically motivated (and overcome the natural laziness that Yuval tells us about) and learn, and keep learning. What they need to know is WHAT to learn, then learn it with the help of the Internet, organisations like Udacity, Khan Academy, Coursera and coaches and mentors (teachers in the world of yesterday). Schools also need to embrace these changes.

I've often found people who that either brought up in an elite school or those who leave an area (due to lack of opportunities) and goto a place with opportunity , or those with authoritarian parents from low income backgrounds - grab opportunities, work hard and often do well (often times , fair better than the indigenous population (eg many polish who go to the UK).

The true motive of this man is to hack people. 👿

[@dennte9637]

The question around 28:09 about “useless people” became incredibly pertinent during the pandemic. Essential vs non-essential workers. What profession was deemed essential was at times quite interesting e.g. florists (not saying they shouldn’t be).

[@edelweissdupreez3034]

I find it strange in the context of the Great Reset that they intend to tell us who we are and that we are useless. I’m also starting to feel Brand is a part of this movement.

It was the largest upward transfer of wealth in history. It had nothing to do with safety.

Great explain

[@belahatvany]

Being aware of where awareness goes is useful.

Self governance rather than impulse gratification.

[@kikiandco1899]

Great conversation. I'll get my teenagers to sit and listen and discuss. This needs to be shared with the youth (under 18) of today. Thanks

[@adamadappa]

Same thought here, being sharing Harari's lectures and talks with my nieces for the last two days. Really hope to start a conversation and hear their thoughts on all of this

[@centurion6378]

Yeah get them to take light from a person who likes to get it in the back door, where there is no light.

[@CreatingChaos]

Feel free to chsnge your mind. Time and again

[@scorpionformula]

Yeah show them this to warn them of the digital Dictatorship that is heading our way and the likes of Yuval affiliated with the World Economic Forum who keep simulating our reality are the ones and more who are behind it. Show them to follow the money because that's the way the world works. I have a PDF of all companies who invested in the clot shot .. they all should be held ACCOUNTABLE for their crimes over the last 2 years.. But hey ho.. the masses love to have a saviour other than having to do anything themselves for even themselves.

[@reenatai75]

Wonderful interview... the host was excellent

[@lynnrosadudani529]

As I am not a greek historian, I must inquire as to whether dear Socrates , walking barefoot through his city, posing questions to passerbys, formulating opinions based on various conversations and generally spending his days running away from his wife and enjoying his day posing questions and engaging in discussions with people, if he was one of those " useless" people? We certainly know from history that many artists (Van Gogh for example) were not considered " valuable" to his political or economic surroundings. My point..there is a place for those misaligned within their society and I think we must constantly be reminded of this in light of " efficiency" glorification in our present day lives.

[@aashansolangi6348]

Very well explained...!!!

[@zanetaleonidi4780]

I ve seen hundrends of interviews on youtube, I m happily suprised to see that the best questions are posed by young people, by far. There is hope.

[@jenniferjennifer9612]

Big love for this talk. Another important point to consider is to learn skills to be more self-sufficient: gardening, sewing, carpentry etc. It is absolute soul food to create for ourselves. Self-sufficiency directly decreases our individual carbon footprint. And no algorithm will be able to sew your child, or best friend a blanket that will keep them warm in body and spirit. Food for thought.

[@michelleobrien6996]

100% agree. I feel now is the time to ensure we have the means to do these things - buy quality tools, have a plot of land, buy water tanks, etc.

[@cheryllewis3059]

Ummm technology will have an algorithm - have you not heard of printers creating 3D objects ? Hello ? So YES technology will see your best friend a blanket !!!

[@rosabw]

​@@cheryllewis3059 Yes...the 3D printer will sense your friends need, obtain the goods to create a blanket, and manufacture them on it's own initiative, like magic.

[@rosabw]

Also...it was called Distributism in the 1920's. It allowed each of us to use our gifts for each other. Without monetary dependence on a government, each could use their abilities in lieu of cash. A little piece of land, independence...we will take care of ourselves and be happy.

[@collettebrynes1075]

The elite and rich have more carbon footprints than we do they have mansions with large electrical usage in their 20 bedrooms and gardens with Elaborate fountains and lighting 10 cars Private jets summer houses winter houses so they that preach to us about global warming but they have all this carbon footprint and they preach to us from their yachts and private parties drinking expensive champagne flying all their friends in for the party on their private jets 🙄

[@belahatvany]

Humanity’s main strength is the creation of massive systems of trust.

[@joz3568]

The algorithm from computer can predict human in many aspect as you said. But they still rely on another human being to input all the data set and observe all the sequential action of an individual. rely on other human being to exude the consequential act. in a sense, hack human is manipulated to target certain group of people or individual who’s is either in a vulnerable position or leadership position. And what about data analysts, are they safe from hacking? And how individual protect themself from hackers in modern life? What’s the evolve really means for an individual? Thank you for your talk!

I am listening what you are understanding. I am listening what you are talking and speaking. I am listening what people aware while listening what you are speaking about our planet who is quiet suffering from Human's behaviour. I am listening what the river is silently. flowing down without water. I am listening what the mountain is patiently without saying. I am listening what is our tropical forest closing eyes for human destroying everyday. I am listening when you are answering my inviting you to another part of our earth (Southeast Asia where there are many tribal now is suffering and calling for help).
