I read books of two professors in Korean. Now I am reading them in English. And, that is why I start to study English again at 42. I really envy people who are good at English. Because they can understand the professors efficiently. I assure you, next year I will make sure I understand 100%.

[@AA-rn9nw]

Good luck dear friend! I know that feeling! Some 20 years ago, I had thought the same….. how good would it be if I could exactly communicate my thoughts and feelings in English. Because non fluency kept me from saying several things I wanted to. And saying just the bare essentials isolated me from my colleagues; they thought I was no fun to be with. Reading English books by referring to dictionary all the time, also killed the continuity and pleasure of reading. But now I enjoy reading English books than the ones in my native language. Writing everyday has helped me a lot. It gave me the freedom to edit till I am happy with its construct and clarity, and time to find the exact words etc. Slowly that clarity reflected in my speech too. And…. I used to see movies too. Happy to hear your one-year-resolution. Hope you achieve it. Good luck!!! 💪💪💪❤️

I really liked when Michael asked Yuval about making Sapiens into a graphic novel, and why. This was quite subtle but highlights the problem Michael is trying to tackle. I highly respect both thinkers and admittedly have been following both down their respective rabbit holes at different times and forgot about the other. I'm going to take this and try to think of what both are trying to say and see how they overlap simultaneously.

As with all Americans no matter how brilliant, they somehow can’t seem to take the discourse beyond their country... And as with intellectuals from outside of America so wonderfully shown by Yuval’s discourse here, are more globally aware and encompass the US as part of a whole and not just treat it as a whole ...and Sandel was clearly lacking a bit there ... brilliant talk as always ..

[@RJay121]

They're both paradoxically missing the insight of what most historically and still promenantly drives American Capitalism, it's American culture, and that stems from a simple concept. America is for now and has been a place for "dreamers" from anywhere to gather and do their thing more openly, more freely, and with less tax and restriction than from anywhere else. This simple freedom to gather among fellow adventurers the desire for which 70 million not all white populist voters can still relate post election compels what on the surface to a globalist seems myopic, and narcissistic. But, for no better WHY is there in the American capitalistic archeological record than America's love of gambling and lottery, where everyday on some new and hopeful chance you're a new millionaire, not just for the wealth or fame of it, but the honor and respect as Yuval knows well that comes with the prize. And since politicians lay bedfellows to the promise of equality in democracy, with the hope comes the well paved downsides of capitalism''s wealth and consequential social inequalities levels below no Party leader or wealth tax can ever change in my view. We carelessly forget Las Vegas can make you rich, but it's still surrounded by a desert.

[@martycrow]

@@RJay121 I got lost in what you were trying to say. Then I read: "We carelessly forget Las Vegas can make you rich, but it's still surrounded by a desert." That's great. Perhaps you could have just said that?

[@wescolumbus621]

It's very possible that, rather than lack of perspective, what we're watching is very careful language from the brilliant American prof. in what is an increasingly silencing academy and culture.

[@RJay121]

@@wescolumbus621 OK I could agree. But what little sense to dodge away from a the most fundamental historical and initiating driver behind the secular colonial conquest of America. The 1619 Project debate today for example puts money and creed as founding fathers. Considering the contemporary issues little has meaningfully eliminated that view entirely, but like religion the book is always better than the movie. But who reads anymore lol.😂.

[@evanparker975]

This is indeed an excellent analysis. For over a decade I have been contemplating new concepts for an authentic democracy. This brings all sectors on board to help in defining an ethos and ensuing approach for governance of a nation. Power no longer resides with any individual or political party but with an assembly of genuine representatives who deliberate and ultimately vote on best policy. This has resulted in a recently completed book "Democracy - a new beginning" - deadly serious but for a general readership. I am an Emeritus Professor of Physics at a UK university and hopefully have been able to bring some new thinking to the dilemmas and weaknesses of Western democracy, that both of you articulate so well.

Thank you both for sharing this interesting conversation! I think that Michael's opinion about what caused the wave of populism very insightful. In my view, left-wing populism is also popular in some countries and is also associated with the feeling of resentment and lack of place in the neoliberal economy. For example, in Ukraine, we have a leftist populist government. Their popularity is based on leftist ideas such as fighting oligarchs, stopping the war, ending poverty, inclusivity for Russian-speaking population. They don't mention LGBT or migrants at all since it is not even part of the widespread discussion in society. But, otherwise, I think they play on the exact same feelings of the working people who feel robbed by wealthy oligarchs.

Thank you very much Yuval for sharing this excellent conversation with Michael! I'm from Brazil, and I partly disagree with what you said. I do not have pet parties or politicians, I do not believe there is a good side and a bad side, I believe that unfortunately there are people who are not looking for the good of the population (even if this is the "flag they carry"). I do not know how much Yuval you have been following the political scenario in Brazil, but I ask that you do not build your discourse based purely and simply on the press. I would like to suggest that you do conversations like this with Brazilians to better understand the sides and the real situation.

[@martycrow]

This is such an important conversation. I can only hope that 1 politician in 100 would listen and take note at very least. We cannot fix everything, and nor can politicians. What we need is for those who hold a mandate to act with accountability and with care. They are paid by the public to make certain decisions on our behalf, not based on our 'consumer-style preference' but taking a long-term view and dealing with what is urgent. It goes beyond party politics.

Am I missing something?

No. Yuval is more of a philosopher than Sandel is so takes on an Everyman perspective. I wasn't impressed with Sandel, to be honest, but I think Yuval has it exactly. His last two points were spot on.

[@funwithuzbek8381]

@@rainmanjr2007 I have listened to Sandel's lectures on political philosophy. He does consider himself as a philosopher, but I definitely agree on the fact that Yuval has better touch with what's going on globally and makes very relevant points.

[@waldenli9232]

Big fan of both here. I have Sandel’s picture on my wall and Yuval’s books on my shelf. Two points: 1. The first part of the conversation from Sandel’s position was rooted in the American society, and since Yuval hasn’t been immersed in this situation much, this big system of problems was a bit hard to convey. 2. A lot of what the philosopher and the historian are talking about are about psychology, or the human mind. For example, why could resentment of foreigners possibly be traced back to social/economic inequality? Why tribal agreement on solidarity could come before agreement on facts and science (Sandel’s point)? These are nowhere near rational problems, because we are dealing with the human brains where rationality only takes a small part. We need to bring Kahneman and Sapolsky here.

Thank you Yuval and Michael, for this very good discussion cum political lesson. Both of you obviously have brilliant, well intended minds, especially given that you both want to inform and thereby empower the average person. From my international socialist (Trotskyist) perspective you both affirm the need for and validity of a political science, the likes of which was made available to humanity some time ago thanks to a scientific, revolutionary Karl Marx. The point Yuval makes at 35:45 about nationalism is just as relevant to the concept of internationalism and probably a lot more appropriate, given our recently globalised world. The answer to a lot of the pertinent questions raised is international socialism and the formation of federations of united socialist states throughout the entire planet ie; forms of governance and productivity that place meeting the social and cultural needs of society over and well above the need for profit and privately owned wealth.

Dr. Sandel says center left’s emphasis on education to succeed combined with income / economic inequality is driving people to the right. However, I found him avoiding Harari’s question on entanglement of other elements like anti-immigrant, anti-lgbtq, race bias, and other sentiments that are more prominent among center right. And to Harari’s point, it’s not just an American phenomena. This is true with most of the nations he mentioned - Brazil, Israel, Turkey, India…..
