QUOTES
“We Are Now Hackable Animals”
“When infotech merges with biotech what you get is the ability to create algorithms that understand me better than I understand myself.” [5:20]
“Maybe the most important thing in life is to get to know yourself better. But for all of history this was a process of self-exploration which you did from things like meditation, sports, or art, and complementation. But what does it mean when the process of self-exploration is being outsourced to a big data algorithm? The philosophical implications are mind-boggling.” [12:34]
“The story of your life is made of bits and pieces and it only makes sense" [23:50]

27:40 - The "useless class." There is no such thing. Our purpose in the world is not to serve an economy. Our purpose is to explore life. To be ourselves. To discover things, and share those lessons, good and bad, with others. We work to live - we do not live to work.

32:15 My answer: "Study/train the absolute hardest and most challenging things you're able to study now. Because that will give you the best chances and ability to keep learning and adapting to the new things that'll come up in the future. Educational facilities should be seen as a gym for our brain."

Heraclitus once said : you cannot put your feet in the same water twice. The only thing that is constant in our cosmos is the change itself.

An Israeli professor of economics says this: The most valuable skill for everyone today, is to improve their self learning abilities. Be able to learn new things on your own, at all times. This should answer the challenge of an ever changing world at a rapid pace.

I have seen several interviews with Harari. Many conducted by high-profile individuals. This might be the best job of interviewing available. Congrats to Impact Theory.

when you are in a path of self growth, these videos are always great content. Thank you. Edit: 3yrs later, I came here to say I can’t believe I have listened to this horrible of a human. It’s so important to educate yourself so you won’t get deceived into thinking all of this is for your own greater good.

Practice for the mark of the beast!

When the World Wide spider Web was taking off in the early 90's I started doing fulltime application development. My boss at the time pointed out to me that, if it's on the internet and it's free, then YOU are the product.

Most of us are so all over the place and our emotions change from minute to minute..they may be able to get close but not completely change us. We are multidimensional beings..🙌

Wow, this guy was so easy to understand, so fascinating. Ive been reinventing my whole life with out even understanding. My dad immigrant from Italy, with only 3 years education, was given a trade to learn when he was 7 years old. He came alone USA @ 16. Worked in that trade for 60 + years. In order for him to keep a 6 day work week until he was 80 years old he had to re-invent himself with in that trade because it was physically demanding. He did it naturally because he absolutely loved what he did. He went from building homes to building cabinets when he was 55 years old. Learning something new IMO is the key to happiness.
