I feel there is one crucial question that was not asked in this interview; Yuval's ideas ring a warning bell for tyranny yet he is associated with WEF which is implementing some very clear authoritarian influence on governments- why? I believe it is a fair question that most people would like an answer to.

WHY SHOULD WE TRUST OUR GOV OUR MEDICAL INDUSTRY AND CORPORATIONS-- SPECIFICALLY DRUG CORPORATIONS? THE POWER TO LIVE HEALTHY LIVES ALREADY EXISTS. IT IS IN OUR HANDS, BUT IT IS NOT BEING REALIZED FOR ONE OBVIOUS REASON: BIG PHARMA AND THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY GET RICHER AND RICHER ON PEOPLE WHO REMAIN SICK AND DEPEND ON PRESCRIBED DRUGS. THE DRUG CARTEL DOESN'T WANT HEALTHY CITIZENS. THE QUESTION IS WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM TECHNOLOGY THAT READS OUR INTERIOR LIVES, MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY ? IT WOULD CONTINUE TO BE THE PEOPLE WHO CAN AFFORD "GOOD" HEALTH INSURANCE. GOOD HEALTH INSURANCE IS UNAFFORDABLE TO MOST OF US. [ IT'S NOT ONLY ABOUT HAVING HEALTH INSURANCE BUT ABOUT HAVING GOOD INSURANCE. WHO ELSE WOULD BENEFIT? BIG PHARMA. ANOTHER Q TO ASK IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE POOR AND AVERAGE WORKING CLASS WHO STRUGGLE ? ---- I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD BE DEEMED SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THE FUTURE WORLD HARRARI DESCRIBES HERE. THEY [THE LESS AFFLUENT CLASSES ] MAY JUST DO THE UPPER & ELITE CLASSES A FAVOR AND VANISH. THEREFORE, TO REITERATE: WHY SHOULD WE TRUST A GOVERNMENT THAT LIES TO US AND A MEDICAL / DRUG INDUSTRY THAT SEE US FIRST & FOREMOST AS $$ VALUE FOR THEIR OWN PROFIT?

His point isn't about the emotional response, but the physical response: exploitation can lead to coups and revolution, policy change and justice. Uselessness cannot lead to revolutions, because it is the definition of powerlessness.

It's funny to hear Harari warning of the devices totalitarians use, especially when they describe his life and work to a T. It seems the best disguise is to warn people of others doing the thing you're doing to them. They won't suspect you'd be the one carrying it out.

[@wayneworkman3436]

Harari envisions a world were if Granny is dying in a LTC home, AI will reassure her that the family is watching virtually but are not allowed to be by her side because of an algorithm that prohibits visits for (fill in the blanks) reasons. He thinks that humans will be known better by AI than they know themselves. This particular narrative takes away the possibility of talking to another human, discussing things such a books that have been read ( if allowed in this NWO).

What this guy begins talking about somewhere around the 40m mark. This is EXACTLY what is coming, except it will not be in the way he describes, companies and other groups will soon be able to have ABSOLUTE CONTROL over your finances and basically everything and it will be driven by a new system of algorithms that make the decision for you in the end, you will connect with someone and say "i want to sell everything in my portfolio or I want to withdraw this much money or I want to buy this item", you WILL BE ASKING if you can do this and then they will decide if you can or not. It will NOT be an advisory algorithm, it will have complete control over everything you do. Just like ANY new technology, once it is developed it is ALWAYS considered for weaponry, ALWAYS. Likewise this new technology will ABSOLUTELY be used against you, it will NOT be used for YOUR BENEFIT, it will be used to place more power in the people's hands who own it, PERIOD. ALL of human history proves this will be the outcome, ANY TIME a new technology comes about it is ALWAYS used to empower the few and enslave the many, this technology will be NO DIFFERENT and if you believe it will be, then you are COMPLETELY naïve.

"People think that the future doesn't need me." This quote from the discussion struck home with me as an explanation for the disillusionment that many people are feeling in the modern world. Here is a quote from Marshall Vian Summers with a radical reinterpretation of what the future of our world needs from people. "The world is poor but you are not poor. Regardless of your circumstances, this is true because you are reclaiming the wealth of Knowledge. Understand then the meaning of impoverishment...the meaning of wealth. Do not think that those who possess more objects than you are in any way wealthier...for without Knowledge they are impoverished and will acquire things only to offset their misery and uncertainty. Thus their impoverishment is compounded by their acquisition. The world is poor but you are not, for you have brought Knowledge with you into the world where Knowledge has been forgotten and denied. Thus, in the reclamation of your own wealth, the world will reclaim its wealth as well, for you shall stimulate Knowledge in all, and their wealth will begin to reveal itself in your presence and in the presence of Knowledge which guides you. Therefore, do not ask anything of the world save what few material things you need to fulfill your function. This is a small request in light of what you have come to give. And if your demands are not in excess of what you need, the world will gladly render them to you in exchange for a greater gift which you possess." (Steps to Knowledge, MVS)

Question how do you know for sure, the ainchients didn't have such things? How do you know we aren't building something that was destroyed? How long did that take? How can you produce goods, when your soul means of life, is simply to survive? This is why it is fragile, just as humanity. Question is, which do you truly favor? Do you speak of humans leaving the planet, as if you never were one? Because that's what this man does. He considerers folk as "super thinkers" hitler did the same. It's called eugenics, and you my friend, are as low as anyone you try to get the upper hand on in the KZbin world. Mr. Harari here is lower than all of us, because the world is upside down, or backward. I'll leave with a quote..... "No MAN survives when freedom fails, the best men ROT in filthy jails. And those who cry APPEASE, APPPEASE, are hung by those they tried to please....... I think we can see what you are friend..... your character is showing. I would be embarrassed, but that the difference between me and you.

[@coltonbrassie8579]

Disruptive technology changes everything. When people were developing guns, some people stuck to their trusted bows and arrows and got left behind. The people with guns eventually dominated and killed those who failed to adapt to the new system. Meanwhile, if Hitler had first developed the atomic bomb, we’d live in a different world. Technology runs the show and there is no way off. Anyone who unplugs faces inevitable conquering and certain defeat. We can only hope technology is in the right hands and goes in the right direction for humanity. If the singularity is built chasing N+1 dollars - humanity is doomed to certain algorithmic slavery.

Hypnotised not to say mangled to our smartphones, unwilling to exchange eye-contact with others in our so-called public places, binging on endless Neflix series and beholden to ego-massaging social media platforms etc., where is the visceral day-to-day life that existed before high-tech hijacked our shared lives? The nostalgia you refer to is not for the undeniably difficult conditions of life in the past, it's a yearning to recapture some of the simpler, less technology- driven pleasures of life in pre-21st century societies.

An interesting interview of C.O. maybe with moments of truth? I started following the interviewee way back before he was who he is today. Likewise with TED, I even shared and recommended following what I thought could be the way showers of today. How little did I really know and understand! Today I can be thankful for my own discernment in recognizing that there is no "guru" other than my own inner-standing of myself. I continue on my path of learning and evolving. Listening to conversations like these in the knowing that part may be truth and part may not be so. And so my inner journey continues. "Know thyself" is maybe the biggest takeaway here, as we can see the one finger pointing outwards, and very humbly tackle instead the NINE fingers pointing inwards. It's a long journey in this physical human costume we call LIFE. Time to take off the masks and do the inner work required. Thank you TED for helping me see the uncomfortable (as an avid follower since the start I signed out when I saw the one way narrative) and thank you Yuval for helping me further reflect and witness my own triggers as areas of work I need to still do on myself....

Another thought: money just represents human labor. So, if there is an abundance of available labor; then, there is an abundance of money to do whatever we like. It will be a very long time into the future before automation will displace all human labor (like forever); so, we just need to balance the profit making segment of the economy with the expense segment (research, education, infrastructure, public service) into order to have full employment.

Love and ethical options against intolerance and hate. To use freedom as a term which means unregulated business practice, perpetuating wealth inequality, protecting discrimination - is to carry baggage we don't think about when someone says "freedom". We think of individual, personal freedoms and the ability to live life safely. Using "freedom" in this way is unintentionally manipulating our judgement of whether this "freedom" is worth the cost of inequality. Whatever outcomes of "equality" exist is a state of the present which should be considered independently as a potential issue to be addressed, and is not some direct negative yardstick for the "freedom" of your country. That makes it look like to more "unequal" we are, the more "free" we are. The terms of the discussion are manipulative. If you outline your goals and change the frame of view, you can achieve personal freedoms and a high base quality of life, even if the population still has some inequality.

[@luciodere3117]

A long way to say that freedom is not to be equally applied. Who decides the "how"?

[@darrenparis8314]

Semantically, it would be closer to say, "freedom is not restricted equally between acts which cause harm and all others." Freedom is not exactly given: It exists everywhere but where it is restricted, and the law offers protections for our rights. I think an important thought in my point is the difference between individual rights and freedoms and calling regulations of institutions a restriction on freedom in general. Another piece of lingual baggage is illustrative: When we say "unequal" we really mean two things: 1) Not all people are equal in ability, intellect, and other characteristics. 2) There is extreme wealth inequality, as well as low social mobility and unequal opportunities. 1) is true 2) Is an ethical concern A wealthy person has at least all the freedoms which a poor person has, but because a wealthy person has more abilities from their wealth, they have, within all those great new abilities, some new capacities to bring harm unto others through the flow of their money and their influence of institutional policies. This is a characteristic of the current system, unregulated, and of being extremely wealthy in the first place. If a poor person were to become rich, there would be the same concerns. The wealthy one has more abilities, and therefore more freedoms than a person without money, despite that they now have a greater ability to cause harm, and now may want to do something unethical which should be regulated. We do not make the wealthy and poor financially equal through regulation, nor free in ability, we make them less unequal by removing barriers to the disadvantaged (by 2, not 1) so that they can raise their abilities and QoL while the wealthier remain unaffected. Total freedoms ought to increase, even if regulations increase, just as QoL should increase regardless of equality. Total, not by percent of everything one might imagine. Inequality should decrease for the sole reason that a degrowth economy is necessary to avert the worst climate outcomes. That is reason enough quite aside from ethical arguments and that wealth inequality is symptomatic of larger socioeconomic and political concerns.

The interviewer asked for an example of brain hacking. There is a form of brain hacking that is so effective and so common and so old that we hardly think of it as brain hacking. The average woman spends close to a quarter of a million dollars over her lifetime on makeup and the like, which hack the primitive parts of the brain to improve her perceived value as a mate. A guy might, for example, consider a woman with makeup/bra/stockings/heels/shapewear/etc. a 7 or 8 rather than a 5. The bra holds her breasts where they would be if she were a decade younger; eyelash extensions make her appear to have high levels of hormones necessary for fertility; heels make her ankles appear slimmer, another indicator of fertility hormones; foundation hides imperfections in her skin, making her appear to have a better immune system; eye shadow and lipstick hint at fertility; and so on. These manipulations are subconscious and have a significant impact, ramping up libidos and messing with the mating marketplace. Brain hacking at its best! :)

[@chaitanyagaur7674]

[@NishanthSalahudeen]

@@chaitanyagaur7674 i never heard about ankles looking thinner, but heard about the posture of the pelvis (thus the butt) changing to be slightly tilted, especially with taller heels, which apparently makes the female more attractive as a mate to the male brain. Coming back to "how the thinner appearance "... I think it has to do with the perceived length of the thin part of lower leg. When viewed from front, there will be a relatively longer section of "narrow" part below the calf muscle if a high heel footwear is used as compared to what would be seen with flat footwear. Basically a portion of feet will be counted as part of shinbone unconciously.
