Kara Swisher & Yuval Noah Harari on Tech Bros, Witches & the Information Flood

[@bprLogos]

Interviews like these really showcase Yuval's class and patience.

[@samankalantari9802]

"Kara, please let Yual talk without interrupting him!

[@sedadogan116]

seriously...so annoying...and she says nothing of value and her sense of humor is really boring.

[@anthonytroia1]

She kept interrupting me, too!

[@Jamminn555]

Absolutely. Far too many little affirmative noises and words, between every single breath or tiny pause by Yuval. And interrupting so many times with quips and jokes and distractions, hijacking the attention and interrupting Yuval's train of thought. A great host gives the guest time to finish his/her thoughts, and even continue on to the next, not interrupting or saying anything until the guest really comes to a natural stopping point. Kara is clearly trying hard, but, as a host, at least here, SUPER annoying. After a certain point, I couldn't watch anymore.

[@sedadogan116]

I can't finish this video because of Kara....she wouldn't let Yuval speak..she has to insert her boring jokes and redundant comments....

[@jedser]

We get it, Kara. You're a wit. Now let the philosopher speak!

[@anastasiosp694]

The philosopher? Please spare me. Of course, he is patient. He is passing the enslavement agenda. His job is to tell the world while little monkeys are cheer him

[@liamatsutv]

I always liked Kara, but in this interview she's... I dunno... kinda unpleasant. Am I imagining it?

[@rapturebound197]

No.. you're not imagining. I'm not a huge fan of either.. Yuval has interesting insights.. but Swisher has this egotistical angry intellectual feminist edge thing going on that's repelling as it gets ❌️

[@olgagaisan5155]

She is very obnoxious

[@Gome.o]

Nah mate, she's insufferable in this interview. It's the constant need to correct Yuval by way of interrupting him, plus all the swipes at celebrities.

[@andybaldman]

She’s that way in every interview.

[@anthonytroia1]

I think she's on Adderal 😞

[@troylatterell]

Kara I'm doubtful that you're listening or following Yuval's points and discussions because your interrupting and asking unrelated questions because you hear a specific keyword you were looking-for. He's in the middle of his response to the last question. Really hard to follow at times because he isn't able to complete his response before you send him on another path....

[@akichler]

This woman thinks she is so smart that she can't hear anything he is saying. And is constantly interrupting Yuval. Which means she can't learn anything new, except only in the slowest ways possible. It is a real shame that we have people like this acting that are our Representatives which means the human race is in very deep trouble until these people are removed from the conversations. Lord help us.

[@Jamminn555]

Yes!!!

[@stevebonella1]

She's a woke idiot

[@Gome.o]

Look, Yuval's work is solid, but if you want to hear his ideas without constant interruptions, check out his interview with Robin Ince. It's way more eloquent and flows better. And hey, if you're after a truly great interview on a different topic, give Episode 79 of the Inner Cosmos podcast a shot. David Eagleman and Joel Pearson have this amazing back-and-forth that's both fun and enlightening. It's the kind of conversation that makes you feel smarter just by listening, while restoring your hope in humanity along the way.

[@hgoebl]

Robin Ince, not Robert, BTW

[@calebfranks3903]

I appreciate the heads up. I intend on looking for both of your recommendations. I listened to this whole episode, but I would say it was a terrible interviewer but a great interviewee.

[@thenosyhungarian]

My absolute favorite thinker being interviewed in a way that is painful to watch. The constant itch for interruption here on Kara's end is fascinating and typically provides little to no value. The conversation predominantly consists of Yuval sharing thoughts of critical importance paired with Kara's never-ending interjection of "HEY please look at and listen to ME".

[@Aowhvuzbwhcj]

one of my dreams is to meet this wise man!

[@lamira10]

What an appalling interviewer. Harari has done SO many fabulous interviews since the release of his latest book: this one isn't worth watching given the intrusive arrogance of this interviewer

[@bimfred]

Yuval spoke 99% of the time. If you need more, I suggest you read a book of his.

We are not here to listen to Kara’s uninformed bias. Please allow Yuval deliver his thoughts.

[@MooMooManist]

Kara - I know you have a lot of questions you want to get through, but please let Yuval finish his thoughts. If mansplaining is a thing, then so is Karanterupting.

[@bimfred]

she has a schedule. you don’t obviously

[@illiakailli]

timecodes please?

[@Gome.o]

No need for timecodes. Any reasonable person who isn't blindly obsessed with Kara Swisher can see the stark difference between this interview and the one with Yuval and Robert Ince. The contrast in enjoyment and overall vibe is clear as day.

[@illiakailli]

@@Gome.o oh, so by ‘reasonable’ you mean blindly swallowing whatever yuval says? Its not only about ‘vibe’, but it is also about logic. She made good points, but somehow you missed those parts.

[@Gome.o]

[@thimihudhra7901]

Great Yuval ! You are the best ...... !

[@anthonytroia1]

I took an online course from Harari before he was a household name. He ended the course with these questions: "What do we want to want? What do we want to become?". I wonder how he would answer these questions. I kick myself for not posing this query while attending his class.

[@laviefu0630]

I do enjoy very much with this interview! Tech Bros-terminator read out loud several quotes of Mr. Harari's new book; she does pay respect to the equivalent as a bestselling author. She does interrupt him quite often, that's her interview style, check out her history, please. I read Mr. Harari’s “Nexus” and this time he fully demonstrates his core ideas, no doubt about it. 100% match his new best-selling book. I'm fully satisfied with this interview, I believe I echo with the on site audience’s response.

[@laviefu0630]

From the Q&A, thought-provoking Qs: 1:03:55 I really enjoyed Sapiens, and there was one particular part that gave me pause, if I could read it. You say, “cognitive dissonance is often considered a failure of the human psyche. In fact, it is a vital asset. Had people been unable to hold contradictory beliefs and values, it probably would have been impossible to establish and maintain any human culture.” So I agreed with almost everything in Sapiens, and this one idea, it just completely flabbergasted me. It's the exact opposite of what I believe, and I was wondering, this was written a while ago, I was wondering if the political experience, especially in this country, if you've updated your opinion, or if you could elaborate. 1:10:33 I read about the vacillation in capabilities between platform AIs and individually controlled AIs that might even run on a gaming computer, say. What's that going to look like moving forward if individuals or affiliation groups can control their own agents? And what are the implications? Will it just amplify their tribal, they'll incentivize it to say, give me QAnon? Or will they, and what would it look like to say, give me the truth? 1:14:40 (This last Q is reserved for a female audience by the interviewer) Okay, I wrote this down because I'm a little shy about this. Would you agree that Europe has a lower tolerance for fake news and holds media professionals to a higher standard than the US, who is often criticized for the systemic spread of misinformation? If so, how do you think we can hold the media accountable and combat misinformation? Should there be rules that prevent certain news outlets from labeling themselves as news if they don't adhere to specific standards? Shouldn't there be requirements such as you're not allowed to tell more than 5% of verified BS?

[@rashidabaakza8554]

Superb conversation between Kara Swisher and Yuval Noah Harari. Both are brilliant, its really interesting and fun to watch them.

[@flyboyvik]

Omg. Her obsession with Musk🙄 Her tunnel vision and myopic viewpoints expose her limited intellect. Yuval just towers over her.

[@_sparrowhawk]

Yuval is great, but Kara is insufferable.

[@bimfred]

Why do you think that? It seems he would disagree with you. As would I.

[@illiakailli]

38:49 if this is the case, then why he is confused about what AI is?

[@davidfanning1600]

Yes, I enjoy listening to Yuval's ideas and thoughts but had to cut this short because of Kara. Too many interuptions. She's clearly not as bright as she thinks she is. The tattoo was a giveaway I guess, I suspect Yuval will need an hour ot two of meditation after this frustrating encounter.

Kara please also stop turning everything into a stab at Elon, it was really off putting when we are here to listen to Yuval on subjects that are bigger than just Elon being a dick.

Kara Swisher is just incapable to listen. To anyone. She comes across ridiculously arrogant. If I am invited to an interview on my book, regardless of how I personally feel about Elon Musk and the way he is managing twitter, I surely don't want to get dragged into that swamp. But since Kara Swisher is so blatantly self-centered, instead of ever listening, she just wants you to talk about the only thing she apparently has interest for: Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Very-very disappointing, to say the least.

This lady with her sarcastic remarks disguises trying to be humorous are ridiculous all they do is show her ignorance.

If anyone has 8 hours to spare at any point, get ahold of a documentary which mostly consists of a long interview with Marie-Louise Von Franz, one of the pupils of Carl Jung. They both knew Wolfgang Pauli. Basically these were some of the most fascinating people who've ever existed. The documentary is called "The Way of the Dream". As a contemporary guide for use with Jung's writings and those of his pupils and associates, there's also a book written a couple years ago called "Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism", bringing some necessary racial context to depth psychology. Anyway, the witch and her bird's nest made me think about what Marie-Louise Von Franz would have to say about the writers of witch hunting manuals!
