On Today's Episode:

The future of jobs, democracy and humanity are constantly changing and constantly being threatened with the rise of technology. With the rise of social media, biotech, and infotech covering everything from your social life, your online life, to your healthcare, algorithms and artificial intelligence are inescapable and highly influencing your decisions, thoughts and emotional state.

Yuval Noah Hariri is best known for the profound and influential work he did giving a complete overview of human history in his bestseller, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. Yuval looks at how technology and cultural beliefs impact human progress.

Yuval is a historian and professor of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the co-founder of the social impact company Sapienship. In this episode with Yuval, we’re forced to question, what are the real issues we’re facing as humanity?

Even more importantly, are you prepared to survive and thrive in this world shaped by data, biotech, algorithms, and corruption?

Understanding power and how it corrupts
3 principles you need to thrive future

Yuval Hariri thoughts:

“It’s the first time that we invent something that can take power away from us, [...] every previous invention in history gave more power to humans.”

“Somebody that has all the information of all the people, they basically control everybody.”

“Humans don’t really fight about objective biological things, [...] they fight about fantasies in their mind.”
“When info-tech merges with biotech what you get is the ability to create algorithms that understand me better than I understand myself.”

“Our identity is really just a story which we constantly construct and embellish. The entire human mind is a machine that constantly produces stories, and especially one very important story, which is my story.”

“Fantasies often shape history and cause people to do terrible things.”
