The Pope's first encyclical about the importance of human dignity and the threat posed by A.I. is causing a stir. Some secular journalists are celebrating Leo's moral clarity, while Trump administration officials are saying the Pope should stay in his lane. Historian Yuval Noah Harari has his own warning about A.I. and explains how we are moving from an "attention economy" into an "intimacy economy."

It's Fun Day Monday on The Majority report. *Fun Day is not in any way a promise of fun in any shape or form. On today's program: Once again, Iran has ended negotiations with the U.S. as a result of Israel expanding operations in southern Lebanon. Wali Khan, a multimedia journalist covering state violence, joins the show to discuss the protests at Delaney Hall Ice Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey. Jose Luis Granados Ceja, journalist covering Latin America at Drop Site News, joins MR to discuss updates on the U.S.'s blockade on Cuba and the potential of a military invasion. In the Fun Half: Senator Chuck Schumer speaks at the Israel Day Parade in NYC, where he unironically argues that a Jewish state is necessary because of the fear of Jews being violently expelled from their homes, even as Israel carries out the same policy against Palestinians. Historian Yuval Noah Harari says if after 2,000 years the "Jews simply become the Romans, what was the point?". Dave Rubin fails miserably on his Jubilee Surrounded episode. All that and more.

Historian Yuval Noah Harari says AI is the first technology that is not just a tool, but “an active agent” doing things we didn't anticipate and might lose control over. The bestselling big thinker spoke to Matt Galloway in front of a live audience in Toronto this September about AI's possible consequences, and why humans are smart enough to put a man on the moon but too stupid to achieve peace on Earth. Listen to the rest of the conversation here and here.

Historian Yuval Noah Harari says that we are at a critical turning point. One in which AI's ability to generate cultural artifacts threatens humanity's role as the shapers of history. History will still go on, but will it be the story of people or, as he calls them, ‘alien AI agents'?In this conversation with Aza Raskin, Harari discusses the historical struggles that emerge from new technology, humanity's AI mistakes so far, and the immediate steps lawmakers can take right now to steer us towards a non-dystopian future.This episode was recorded live at the Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

Yesterday's action by the ICC action targeting both Israeli and Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity has prompted furious condemnation from Israel and the United States, but France and Belgium have broken with these allies by supporting the court. Bestselling Israeli author and historian Yuval Noah Harari has been thinking deeply on his homeland and the possibility of peace between Israelis and Palestinians even now, asking in a Financial Times op-ed "Is there a way out of the Israeli-Palestinian trap?." He joins the show in London.   Also on today's show: Chef Fadi Kattan, Author, "Bethlehem: A Celebration of Palestinian Food"; Steven Johnson, Author, "The Infernal Machine"  Learn more about your ad choices.

Historian Yuval Noah Harari wrote a book back in 2015 that looked at the entirety of human history; from hunter-gatherers to space exploration. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind packs all of this into a mere 400 pages. Harari noted to NPR's Arun Rath that humans have done a great job cultivating power – but where we tend to fall short is translating that power into happiness.

Historian Yuval Noah Harari's work shows how to interpret the COVID-19 crisis as part of the global struggle between liberal elites and the rising populist right.

Seventy thousand years ago, our human ancestors were insignificant animals, just minding their own business in a corner of Africa with all the other animals. But now, few would disagree that humans dominate planet Earth; we've spread to every continent, and our actions determine the fate of other animals (and possibly Earth itself). How did we get from there to here? Historian Yuval Noah Harari suggests a surprising reason for the rise of humanity.

Historian Yuval Noah Harari has taken the world on a tour through the span of humanity, from apes to rulers of the world. Harari became an international sensation when he argued in his best-selling book Sapiens that humans conquered the world through our ability to believe in collective myths about gods, money and freedom. In this excerpt, Harari discusses the authoritative role of big data and algorithms. Series: "SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind" [Humanities] [Show ID: 34534]
