Humans, it turns out, are pretty decent. That's according to Dutch historian Rutger Bregman, whose book "Humankind: A Hopeful History" was praised by our very own Daniel Pink for making a "bold, sweeping argument" — one you'll hear pieces of today — "[that] will make you rethink what you believe about society, democracy, and human nature itself." • Subscribe to Michael's newsletter • Download our app • Join our club (and use code DAILY for a special discount)

People on many sides have long since decided where they stand on the debate of climate change, regardless of the science it seems…Almost equally absolutely, people have also decided what they think of environmental activists, whether they remember the activism of the 1970s and 1980s or the more modern forms of climate awareness.There is a lot to unravel and deconstruct as Lilek puts it and she's right, climate denial is not a simple mechanism to be dismissed or randomly insulted, it needs to be understood and debated intelligently and with understanding. In this first episode, we look into some of the background problems that climate justice faces.During the podcast,Lilek refers to the following book: Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman.

I've been reading Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman. You'll probably remember the story I'm going to share with you.  Researchers wanted to study the effects of teachers demonstrating high expectations with a group of students who had been “tested” and shown to be of higher than average intelligence.  Researchers encouraged the teachers to pay more attention to these students, encourage them more if they struggled, and of course, praise their efforts and achievement often.  It's called the Pygmalion effect.  And it isn't only for students.  Beware: The effects of low expectations are exactly what you'd expect.  This is called the Golem effect.  If we have low expectations of someone, we are going to distance ourselves from them, we are not going to smile at them. If we don't believe in what they can do, how can they believe it themselves?  Due to the ethics of this type of research on humans, there isn't much.  But it JUST MAKES SENSE.  Online phonics diagnostic @whamphonics.comAdditional elementary resources @ https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Whamphonics

What is Marxism? Is Capitalism really that bad? Does communism have anything to say about the climate struggle? Can we really hope for a transformed communist future? Rayne and Mika chat with their favourite lecturer, Associate Professor Dr. Chamsy el-Ojeili. Chamsy is a sociologist and lecturer in the School of Social and Cultural Studies at Te Herenaga Waka - Victoria University Wellington. Mika, Rayne, and Chamsy chat about capitalism, ecosocialism, and what Marxism says about our contemporary struggles. Chamsy offers honesty and hope in being both a Christian and a communist.

The interests of the bourgeoises (aka ruling or capitalist class) are centred on increasing profits. Proletariat: a social class comprised of workers without access to the means of production, and therefore are dependent on exchanging labour power for a wage. Marx believed the working class is fundamentally exploited and oppressed to produce profits for the capitalist class, and will ultimately overthrow the bourgeoisie creating a classless society. Gramsci: Antonio Gramsci was an Italian Marxist thinker, 1891–1937. He moved beyond the classic Marxist materialist approach to consider the place of ideas, culture, morality, feelings, and values in shaping collective will and influencing social reform. Fukuyama: Francis Fukuyama wrote The End of History and the Last Man in 1992. He believed liberalism had won the struggle for power through the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. He claimed that history has ended with global, liberal, democratic capitalism as the final form of economic, social, and political governance. -- This podcast is associated with Chaplaincy VUW.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Author Rutger Bregman about effective altruism and philanthropy, published by Sebastian Schwiecker on September 20, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Rutger Bregman, historian, and author (including Utopia for Realists and Humankind: A Hopeful History) describes his personal view on philanthropy in a conversation with Effektiv Spenden here (German here). In the Effektiv Spenden post donation survey he was mentioned more than any other person (e.g. more than Will MacAskill and more than Peter Singer). Our explanation is that he particularly good at reaching people from outside the existing EA community. Some quotes: On effective altruism: "Sometimes people can get the impression that “Oh, so you know what all the effective causes out there are and you are very dogmatic about that?” That's not the case at all. Effective altruism is a question. It's not an answer. It's all about continuously asking yourself the question, is this the best use of my time, resources, and money? That's what it's really about. And I think intellectual humility is a really important value, and I think that's also quite present in the movement." On systemic change vs. individual change: "There's now this discussion going on amongst progressives and people on the left like: “Oh, we shouldn't talk about individual change because that's neo-liberal. We should all talk about system change”, but obviously we need to do both. If you look at the most impressive reformers and prophets and campaigners and activists throughout history, they all did it both. I'm now reading a book about Anthony Benezet who was one of the most important abolitionists, he's called the father of abolitionism. He led the fight against the slave trade and slavery in the 18th century. If you would have said to him: “Oh, it's all about the system. It's not about the individual”. He would have said: “You're a hypocrite.” Of course, it's also about the individual, because he knew that he would be much more convincing if he actually did what he preached." On why he signed the Giving What We Can Pledge: "Because human behavior is contagious. We're not individuals, we're not lone atoms, but we influence each other all the time by our behavior. It's just contagious. Giving can be like that as well. That's why I think it's important to be public about your giving, not to show off, you need to be a little bit careful there, but that's also why I signed the Giving What We Can pledge to say. Look, people, if you like my work, this is what I find really important and it has made a big difference in my life to donate at least 10% of my income to highly effective causes. I think that actually, as a best seller author, you can go a little bit higher than 10%, but 10% is a good place to start."

Are humans naturally good? Should we trust others? In this episode, Dr. Jordan discusses how we overcome negativity bias, and lead us to believe that humans are naturally good. We are naturally inclined to solidarity and cooperation. Let's join Dr. Jordan in understanding humans better. Show Notes:v How we view our fellow humans affects the way we treat them. Human's natural inclination is cooperation, connection, kindness, & empathy. If you believe the best, you'll experience their best v Dr. Jordan speaks about the findings in the book Humankind by Rutger Bregman.v Disasters bring out the best in us, as we like to be part of groups & communities. Dr. Jordan cites examples such as the 1940 blitzkrieg bombings of London and Hurricane Katrina.v Explains the origins of myths that humans, by their very nature, are selfish, aggressive, and quick to panic, as well as the concept of original sin and god.v Dr. Jordan describes the mean world syndrome, negativity bias, availability bias, the bystander effect, and the Rosenthal effect and how it pertains to our views about mankind's goodness.v Thomas Pettigrew's massive review of 515 studies from 38 countries provided overwhelming support that contact with people perceived to be different from us works to engender more trust, solidarity, and mutual kindness, helps people see the world through others's eyes, and makes people more tolerant of strangers. Contact is contagious and helps us rethink our biases when we see others act differently. Final thoughts:v Human's natural inclination is for solidarity and cooperation. So, let's start with a belief that people are good, cooperative, empathetic, and helpful by nature.v We can overcome our negativity bias by reminding ourselves to assume the best in others, believe that most people mean well, and assume that we will be cheated occasionally. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't or can't trust everyone. Dr. Jordan concludes with the concept of Ubuntu as described by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.Humankind: A Hopeful History, by Rutger BregmanDr. Jordan's website: www.drtimjordan.com

In 2019, when Rutger Bregman published his book “Humankind: A Hopeful History” and made a case for the decency of human nature, the world had yet to experience a deadly pandemic. But what does the historian think of humanity now, amid protests against coronavirus lockdowns as well as the climate crisis and the rampant spread of misinformation?“What I see is a world where billions of people radically adjusted their lifestyle to stop the virus from spreading further,” he says.In this conversation, Kara Swisher invites Bregman to make a case for taking our capacity for goodness more seriously, even in anxious and uncertain times. But she stress-tests the theory, using examples that range from atrocities like the Holocaust to widespread apathy about the climate crisis. And they discuss what Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook got wrong about human behavior, his case for societies' moving toward a 15-hour workweek and why he decided to publish a clip of Tucker Carlson blowing up at him.This episode contains strong language.You can find more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

Over Thanksgiving weekend, Bradley read 'Humankind: A Hopeful History' by Rutger Bregman and came away with big questions about his own worldview. Though there's one thing Bradley refuses to be hopeful about: The New York Mets.

Author Rutger Bregman discusses "Humankind: A Hopeful History," now available in paperback.

This week I'm joined by Christina Nielsen, the founder of the Metavision Institute of NSW, Australia. Metavision is where I received my training in Process Oriented Psychotherapy - a holistic style that combines the understandings of reality from Quantum Physics with Jungian Psychodynamics.Our conversation weaves in the idea of the life-myth of the individual having a secret connection with the mythic themes of the times. We visit Christina's childhood memories with Bilbo Baggins the dog, as well as an early childhood dream, to see how the seed of Metavision was expressing itself from her very earliest moments on earth.Christina is a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and experience. She has extensively studied Chinese Medicine, Steiner's Spiritual Science and Arnold Mindell's Process Work. Her life and work display what's possible from a holistic perspective when it comes to the health of ourselves and our connection with our living planet.An old teacher of mine once said to me, 'your message to the world is the life you live.' On reflection from our interview I was most moved by the living theme in Christina's life of the importance of combining cleverness with wisdom, and how the two are neither mutually exclusive nor intrinsically implied.Find out more about Christina here.And Metavision here.There's a moment in the interview where Christina doesn't quite remember the name of a book that explores the antithesis of 'Lord of the Flies'. That book is Humankind: A Hopeful History.Thanks for listening in. If you enjoy this and want the podcast to continue doing its thing, please consider becoming a Patron for just $5 a month.

Everything you know about human nature is a falsehood, but maybe that's a good thing.'Humankind' by Rutger Bregman is an argument for why humans are good at heart (and in action). He presents this as a dichotomy between the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes & Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Much of the book is spent debunking commonly cited examples of our innate cruelty (Milgram Shock/Standford Prison experiments), but also has anecdotes from history and more trustworthy statistics.I summarised the book as follows. "It's a crazy amount of condensed critical thinking. It burst a couple of ideas that were too simplistic but also might be refuted in the future for the same reason. It's well presented and contains elements of Rutger's personality (which matches my own) that made me like the book even more, although this obviously clouds my judgement as to the absolute 'truth' of his arguments. Nevertheless, being hopeful is fun!"I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

I had to slow down my reading pace to about 1 x book per week due to focusing on some new goals. I also think my average page length might be slightly increasing which also is a reason for the slow down. So only 3 x reviews for me from this month. The real highlight (which I forgot to mention) was Juan's review of Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari which he reckons is the best book he's ever read.

I recorded this episode after replying to a YouTube comment about good and bad types of change (Episode 61: Change is Hard, but Resisting Change is Wrong). The commenter made a good point that sometimes we change in a bad direction instead of making a positive change.I agreed but in doing so realized I had a bigger point buried under that. Perhaps another assumption I had failed to realize or express. Which is that I believe the Are motivation is essentially driving GOOD change, and that many SHOULD motivators drive a bad kind of change. But an even BIGGER point was buried even deeper about good vs. evil.I believe that humans are essentially good. We start out good, and any evil we develop is learned through Should type processes. This might have to do with a book I just finished about whether or not humans are essentially good or evil called Humankind: A Hopeful History, by Rutger Bregman. Rutger argues that we are essentially good, and I'm on that side - at least for now.So another assumption I have made, perhaps subconsciously, with respect to the Are vs Should Problem is that living from our Are is on the good side whereas living from the Should is leaning toward evil.HOWEVER, the commenter ALSO made me realize that some shoulds are better than others. Sometimes we tell ourselves we Should eat better, be nicer, be more responsible, get a better job, or whatever. Sometimes these shoulds HELP us move forward. So I had to break this down a bit:Ares are intrinsic motivations that come from within us and generally encourage us to be better and come from a good place.Shoulds can be intrinsic, or appear to be, OR extrinsic.Intrinsic shoulds are mostly Are, but have some external motivations sprinkled in. Kind of like when I internalized my dads job motivation by conceding that I should change my major so that I could get a job. I internalized an external should, made it my own, and was fooled into thinking it was an Are. And, arguably, it was as it did achieve the goal. Of course, in HINDSIGHT I choose to see that as an extrinsic should that became internalized.So most Shoulds come from external sources and can be misleading, bad, and downright evil. Shoulds serve to destroy the Are, but the degree to which this is intentional can vary from close to none to entirely. So three basic choices: Are, Should, Internalized Should that is confusing.While discussing the multiple types of Shoulds in this Episode, as you will see (or hear), I started formulating what I think will become the next phase of development in the Are vs Should Problem. I hit on the good vs evil elements already, but also posited whether or not we need to look OUTSIDE ourselves to better understand the Ares. I even suggest we learn to love people FAR outside our realm of attention. People that oppose our views or make us angry. I am wondering if we apply what we've discussed so far to people at opposite ends of the field if we might learn some new things.

The dawn of civilisation is the moment from which we believe everything could only get better. In his latest book though, Rutger Bregman argues this might not be the case. Since then we've innovated war, extreme poverty, food and water inequality, and we've become so densly populated that we harbour and spread diseases across the globe. The catalyst, he argues, is that we assume the worst in others, which effects our behaviour towards them.ABOUT RUTGER BREGMANRutger Bregman is a popular historian and author who's been described as the “Dutch wunderkind of new ideas”. He first went viral after scolding an auditorium of economists at the World Economic Forum in Davos, over tax evasion and it's impact on global poverty. He has published four books on history, philosophy, and economics, including the international bestsellers, Utopia for Realists, and the topic of this episode's discussion, Humankind: A Hopeful History.***For suggestions and questions, WhatsApp the producers on +44 773 539 4284Follow us on Social @jaxandmartinpodJoin our online community: www.jaxandmartinshow.comWATCH the full interviews on YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCdSIrHS7Lz3whqqKyTVziUA/videos Hosted on Acast.

Historian and bestselling author Rutger Bregman chats with Trey Elling about HUMANKIND: A HOPEFUL HISTORY. Over the past few decades, many scientists have become much more optimistic on human nature. Did you know that a real life version of the fictional book Lord of the Flies happened in the 1960s with drastically different results? Or that the Stanford Prison Experiment was not the pure process its head scientists led us to believe? Or that a Norwegian prison which allows it inhabitants a shocking amount of trust and freedom creates law-abiding citizens? Trey and Rutger discuss these things and much more.

Humankind: A Hopeful History pushes the revolutionary theory that “most people, deep down, are pretty decent”. Written by Dutch historian Rutger Bregman (@rcbregman), he takes us through centuries of historical events and challenges the beliefs of Machiavelli, Freud and Dawkins, using plenty of research to prove his point – that humans aren't inherently selfish. Humankind gives an alternative understanding of history, and made me think that maybe, we need a new optimistic lens when looking at humanity... to give us hope for the future.

In this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about… * the inability of the US to deal with gun violence * Scott's very personal experience with gun violence * Scott's trip to a gun range * young Jacob's 12-inch Bowie knife * that time Jacob shot a squirrel, and a robin * taking ownership of our hypocrisy * the Avatar-vibe to hunting and raising animals * Jacob's plant-based diet (don't call him a Vegan though) * feeling called versus feeling pressured * the impossibility of caring about everything * listening to and trusting your heart * Jacob's 30-day complete news detox * one way to make a real difference in our world * the importance of focusing on what's within your arm's reach * honoring the deepest call of your being * anti-racist, et al. activism * the body's immune system as a metaphor for activism * how love = joy = life * the power of love to create real, healing change * resisting the call to hate and dehumanize * being intentional with how we show up in the world * maintaining empathy and compassion no matter what * moving beyond perceived truths that are no longer accurate * the slow crawl to evolution, and acknowledging the progress * being with our feelings of heaviness and overwhelm * feeling empowered by our open connections with others * Jacob's experience with his son's mental health * how inner health adds beauty to every aspect of life * destigmatizing mental illness and autism * how it's never too late to create change in our lives * being there for someone without trying to fix them Books that Jacob mentioned: Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman Freedom: Medicine Words for Your Brave Revolution by Jaiya John Movie mentioned: Nomadland, directed by Chloé Zhao (we talked about it last week, too, but it's that good) Here's the poem Scott read at the end of the show: A Prayer by Clarissa Pinkola Estés Refuse to fall down If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down. If you cannot refuse to stay down, lift your heart toward heaven, and like a hungry beggar, ask that it be filled. You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising. But no one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heaven only you. It is in the middle of misery that so much becomes clear. The one who says nothing good came of this, is not yet listening.

This one got a little heated in so many ways. That just goes to show how passionate we are when it comes to certain subjects. It started off with the big question of Why do we even try? Sounds pessimistic, and it is, but we do drops bits of gold as to why we try...maybe they'll resonate with you as well. We made a ton of tangents in the conversation and talked about the "trust" factor in all things we do, including scientific studies. Of course we ended up with ways you can change yourself and your mindset so that together we can start moving humanity towards a better path.

Rutger Bregman memberikan perspektif baru tentang 200.000 tahun terakhir sejarah manusia, yang membuktikan bahwa manusia pada dasarnya berhati baik. Ia membuktikan bahwa naluri yang positif ini memiliki dasar evolusi yang kuat bahkan sejak awal Homo sapiens. Bregman menunjukkan kepada kita bahwa manusia memiliki kemurahan hati dan cenderung bekerjasama saling membantu bahkan ketika dihadapkan dalam kondisi tersulit. Buku ini membuka perspektif positif saya tentang masa depan umat manusia karena harapan yang saya miliki kini punya dasar yang lebih kuat, yakni dari studi dan riset yang dilakukan oleh Rutger Bregman. Music by www.bensound.com

Sebenarnya umat manusia ini dasarnya baik apa jahat? Bregman mengajak pembaca membaca ulang sejarah dan penelitian sosial soal ini.

Senator Kamala Harris is named as the first Black female candidate for Vice President. It’s a historic choice for America, coming at a historic moment for the country. Christiane Amanpour is joined by Valerie Jarrett, former Senior Adviser to Barack Obama, to assess the presidential race, and the Biden-Harris ticket. Law enforcement issues have played a fundamental role in Harris’ career, and her presidential campaign. Civil Rights Activist DeRay Mckesson has previously challenged Harris on her record, and he discusses his take on Joe Biden’s new vice-presidential pick. Then, at this time of social upheaval and hyper partisan politics, perhaps it’s time for some lessons in “hopeful history”. Author Rutger Bregman joins Christiane to chat about his new book "Humankind:A Hopeful History”, and why believes that humans are innately good. And our Walter Isaacson speaks to journalist and author Kurt Andersen about the absence of fairness in America today. They talk about his new book "Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America: A Recent History” and the threat of hyper-capitalism in America.

If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It's a notion that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. Human beings, we're taught, are by nature selfish and governed primarily by self-interest. But what if it isn't true? International bestseller Rutger Bregman joins UNSW Centre for Ideas Director, Ann Mossop in the first of a three-part series of conversations to provide a new perspective on the past 200,000 years of human history, setting out to prove that we are hardwired for kindness, geared toward cooperation rather than competition, and more inclined to trust rather than distrust one another.

Rutger's new book, Humankind: A Hopeful History ... Debunking the "veneer theory" of human nature ... Are violence and war intrinsic to human nature? ... The human self-domestication thesis ... Why Bob doesn't like the idea of people "deserving punishment" ... Is it bad to emphasize the dark side of human nature? ... What the debunking of the Stanford Prison Experiment can teach us ... Giving money to rich people: Why the U in UBI? ... Would UBI turn us all into couch potatoes (or worse)? ...

Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld. This is a novel which starts with the premise that in 1977 Hillary Rodham met Bill Clinton (true); he asked her to marry him several times and every time she refused (true) until she didn't (true) – but the book is about the life she could have had if she'd stuck to her guns and never hitched herself to him. It's a clever idea and the author really does seem to have got right into it. Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman. This is an extraordinary, uplifting and very welcome history of the human capacity for kindness. Contesting the idea that we are innately self-seeking and chiefly driven by egotistic goals, Rutger Bregman offers a very different, optimistic interpretation of the last 200,000 years of human history.He shows how believing in human kindness and altruism can be a new way to think - and act as the foundation for achieving true change in our society.

Mikkel Sinding, a postdoctoral fellow at Trinity College Dublin, talks sled dog genes with Sarah. After comparing the genomes of modern dogs, Greenland sled dogs, and an ancient dog jaw bone found on a remote Siberian island where dogs may have pulled sleds some 9500 years ago, they found that modern Greenland dogs—which are still used to pull sleds today—have much in common with this ancient Siberian ancestor. Those similarities include genes related to eating high-fat diets and cold-sensing genes previously identified in woolly mammoths. In this month's book segment, Kiki Sanford talks with Rutger Bregman about his book, Humankind: A Hopeful History which outlines a shift in the thinking of many social scientists to a view of humans as more peaceful than warlike.

Dutch historian and commentator Rutger Bregman joins the Prospect Interview this week to discuss his new book, Humankind: A Hopeful History. It's a book with an optimistic thesis at its heart: that people are—despite all the doom-mongering, disasters, and political conflicts that rage on in our headlines—at their core, decent and well-intentioned. Arts and Books editor Sameer Rahim talks to Rutger about making a case for hope in the time of Covid, what makes people embrace hate, division and prejudice—and how he went about writing his viral story of the real-life Lord of the Flies.

I had an engaging conversation with Schalk Engelbrecht. We discussed ethics in the time of COVID-19.  Schalk is an ethicist, the Chief Ethics Officer at KPMG in South Africa, and a student of philosophy. He is responsible for KPMG's internal ethics programme, and assists client companies to identify ethics risk, develop Codes of Ethics, design ethics management programmes and facilitate ethics training. Schalk is also a research associate with the Centre for Applied Ethics at Stellenbosch University. In 2010 he completed his PhD in Philosophy with a thesis on the need to revive utopian thinking in an anti-utopian age. He has presented papers at national and international conferences on topics that include "radical business ethics", "the problem of the commons in organisations", and "ethics and utopian thinking". He is published in academic and popular journals and has been an invited speaker at conferences and provincial Anti-Corruption events. Before joining KPMG Schalk lectured Philosophy and Ethics at the University of Stellenbosch and North-West University. He has lectured Business Ethics as part of the University of Stellenbosch Business School's MBA programme, and was the previous editor-in-chief of the African Journal of Business Ethics. Notes & Resources: Defining Ethics: “Rules for the human zoo” - Peter Sloterdijk Dictionary definition: “the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation”, “a set of moral principles: a theory or system of moral values” - Merriam-Webster Dictionary. The Framework: Key point: Context matters. The framework for being ethical has stayed the same, but the content has changed (changes over time) – for example, comparing ethics in the Victorian era and the era of climate change.

There's only one problem with the widely-held belief that humans are fundamentally amoral and selfish, says Dutch historian RUTGER BREGMAN: it's rubbish. His new book Humankind: A Hopeful History argues that the record shows humanity's superpower is its unique aptitude for altruism and co-operation. He tells Andrew Harrison why everything from Lord Of The Flies to the story of the Blitz is teaching us to draw the wrong conclusions about the human race – and explains who benefits from spreading the myth of human selfishness.“Catastrophes bring out the best in people”“Individual humans are not all that smart or strong – but we can cooperate on the level no other species can match.”“The idea that most people are pretty decent is actually a revolutionary idea.”“Cynicism is a form of laziness.”Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison.

With a bold re-interpretation of humanity, Rutger Bregman is changing our perception of the past in order to re-invent the future. Videos of him taking on the elite of Davos and US talk shows, have been viewed over 24 million times and his recent article, uncovering the "real Lord of the Flies" sparked a bidding war in Hollywood. Fans and admirers include Stephen Fry and Yuval Harari and his new book is being hailed as the "Sapiens of 2020." Humankind: A Hopeful History, challenges the belief long held by society that human beings are selfish by nature and instead that we are predominantly good animals, designed by evolution to co-operate with kindness, rather than survive and prosper through cruelty.
