Podcasts about sapiens a brief history

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Priya, Ava, and Anaid dive deep into the roots of our toxic culture. Together, they explore the roles that disconnection, collective trauma, and survival-driven conditioning play in shaping the way we live and relate.  Is our detachment from nature part of the problem? Could it be that our nervous systems — biologically wired for survival — are still operating in modes of protection, fueling cycles of fear and burnout? Or is there a missing piece we've yet to uncover?   Relevant links and resources:   Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind  by Yuval Noah Harari The Molecule of More by Daniel Z.

Is the journal publishing process and the “game” around journal publishing forcing us to give up on big ideas and instead work on small ideas about trivial matters? We are not so sure. We think that science needs many different types of academics, and they have all sorts of different ideas, big and small, and we need outlets for expressing every single one of them. But outlets, like ideas, are not all equal. Journals are an incremental genre leaning toward rigor and thus risk type-2 errors. Book are an expansive genre learning towards big ideas – and thus risk type-1 errors. So the question is rather what type of scholar you are and whether you can handle the very different processes and mechanisms – those associated with big ideas that take a long time to develop, versus the production of smaller ideas and insights that incrementally push our knowledge forward.

Share this episode: https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/386-information-social-order Sam Harris speaks with Yuval Noah Harari about his new book, Nexus, and its application to current crises. They discuss humanity’s capacity for self-destruction, democracy and dictatorship as information networks, the “naive view of information,” the advantages of fiction over truth, trust in institutions, self-correction in a democracy, truth vs. power, truth vs. order, the suicide of conservatism, fixing social media, algorithms as editorial choices, efficiency vs. inefficiency, threats to democracy, the authoritarian character of Trump’s candidacy, the need for patriotism and nationalism, Israeli politics, the peaceful transfer of power, Putin and the war in Ukraine, the vulnerability of world order, the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, antisemitism and anti-colonialism, religious fanaticism among Israelis, the status of Arabs in Israeli society, biblical and post-biblical Judaism, whether a wider war in the Middle East is necessary, the danger of spirituality without ethics, and other topics. Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and the bestselling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, the series Sapiens: A Graphic History and Unstoppable Us, and, most recently, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI. His books have sold over 45 million copies in 65 languages, and he is considered one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals today. Website: https://www.ynharari.com/ Twitter: @harari_yuval Learning how to train your mind is the single greatest investment you can make in life. That’s why Sam Harris created the Waking Up app. From rational mindfulness practice to lessons on some of life’s most important topics, join Sam as he demystifies the practice of meditation and explores the theory behind it.

Well, look, of COURSE I was intimidated. Yuval Noah Harari is one of our most revered thinkers - a philosopher for our age and a bestselling writer of books that have redefined our thinking about humanity. You will probably know him as the author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (25 million copies sold and counting). Now, he tackles AI in his latest work, Nexus. Yuval joins us to talk about the potential of AI, as well as its dangers (I was actually left feeling more positive than negative, so it's a great antidote to all the doom-mongering out there). We also discuss his childhood, his sexuality and his one big regret about not ‘coming out' earlier - not to others, but to himself. He gives an extremely considered response to the terrible crisis in the Middle East and talks about how his critical stance against the Israeli state has lost him friendships. Plus: why he thinks he fails at meditation despite doing it for two hours a day. And if you're a Failing With Friends subscriber, you'll get to hear me ask the really BIG questions: his favourite karaoke tune and whether he gives cat or dog energy. These were such enlightening, important conversations, filled with hope and explained with such clarity. Thank you, Yuval. PS. You're totally a cat. Have something to share of your own?

What's one piece of advice you can give us this Monday morning? Uche: Well, it was all a concept of, I really see the myth of fitness, the myth of exercise, the myth of taking care of yourself. Most people think of it as something as when you reach a rock bottom, right?You're 45, someone had a heart attack or you're 15. You've had some bad news about your GI tract and you need a PPI. Few people think of fitness as something else other than just to look good for high school reunion or a college reunion. But you start looking at it as the ability to add productivity to give you mental clarity.And the minute you sleep deeper, one of the benefits of being physically active is you sleep deeper. But all people who sleep deep Uh, better memories, which translates into, you know, better interaction, better communication, but also better sleep helps you process emotion. So the minute you process emotion, you have higher emotional intelligence, which also then allows you to be able to better communicate and not be stalemated.Interesting. Michael: So then what's the first step here when we, when we want to have like, I guess, better sleep, is it getting better with our nutrition or our fitness? Uche: You know, it's everything. You'd be surprised. There's a thing called Zeitgeist. So Zeitgeist are cues that switches your circadian rhythm. The number one is light and dark cycle.So the minute someone doesn't get outside in the morning and they just have darkness around in the room, part of the brain thinks you're messed up. And you start going down in your physiology, become more insulin resistant. So the whole idea being is though, depending on what kind of quality of sleepy ones and everyone wants top notch quality is to start having them a dimmer light as the evening goes on.The worst thing you could do, um, after two hours after sundown is to have bright overhead lights. And the more successful the dentists are, the more pot lights they have, the more pot lights you have, the more your ancient brain thinks it's daylight. Which means you don't sleep deep, the media don't sleep deep, the memory worsens, and you're not able to process emotion, so emotional intelligence goes down, less able to impact people emotionally during conversations.Michael: Interesting. Okay, so in the morning, we want to seek daylight or sun. Immediately, when we wake up, Uche: almost any light, you got to think, and there's a book called Sapiens by, uh, Harari. He's a New York times bestseller. So Sapiens S C P I E N S. And he said, you and I are more like cavemen and cave women. You think you're, I'm a modern guy.You're wearing my Prada, but really our physiology is as a 2 million year old physiology. So in the morning, if we were a tribe of 10, 15, 50, 15 or 50, 60, 70 people, the first time, left the cave. The only people that stayed inside the cave were the sick or the dying. The sick and the dying stayed inside the cave.But on first light, everyone leaves. So that being said, if someone works from home, or if someone goes down to their, you know, their four car garage, takes their, you know, their Lexus to work, they park in an underground garage, the body gets no sunlight on them. They get no natural daylight. The body, our caveman brain then, thinks you're near death.Near death is not a good physiology. It's not a good way to, you know, Get your nervous system getting ready for a big morning of crown preparations or a big morning of surgery. So first light in the day is ultra important. Almost important is getting a good night's sleep. That first light resets your circadian rhythm.There's a part of your brain called the super charismatic nucleus. It's about 20, 000 neurons. And it's deep inside the brain. And when you get light on your skin or light on your eyes, that information goes through the optic nerve into those, into that brain region. And the brain goes, Oh, another day around to go around the sun.And it starts pumping out alive hormones. Michael: Okay. So those are the first things we want to do as far as when it comes to improving our ourselves is making sure sleep is good. Now, when it comes to the fitness part, where do we go with that Uche: massive. This is massive. I think dentists realize, we see patients oftentimes from age 2 to 102, and I see people who look good.They're 85, 90 years of age, they walk independently, they're into the chair, they can get up easily. They don't have aches and pains that are asking for the third pillow to keep their neck up as you're working on them. They don't ask to be propped up because they don't have post nasal drip. And if dentists are smart, if you're watching out for it, you start asking people, Hey, what do you have for breakfast?How can you look good at 90 or at age 80? How can you be still owning those four restaurants? And you start realizing physical activity is one of the best predictors of a healthy lifespan and a healthy health span. So exercise scientists have now said more important than nutrition. Being physically active.There's hundreds to thousands of studies to show how being physically active gives you a longer health span. Most people think of lifespan, which is basically how long you live. Few people think of health span. That's how long you live without having a disease or disability. So basically you want your health span to be as long as possible.And if you are going to leave the planet, it's two or three days and then you're gone. Or, at 95, hella skiing off of Whistler and then you, then you go. That'd be a great way to go in a blaze of glory at age 95. Michael: Yeah, that's true. So then, with that being said, with the fitness part, right? Cause I think it's easy to be like, okay, we're going to do this with our sleep, lower the light.Right. And that's pretty instructional. And then, okay, we're going to get light immediately. But when it comes to fitness, I feel like there's so much, right? There's that strength training, there's cardio, there's anaerobic, aerobic, there's many, many different things we can do. And then we get injured too.Right. And then that stops us. And so how can we, I guess, come up with something that will improve our life, but a specific plan. Uche: Okay. And that's, those are legitimate complaints. You know, people, a lot of dentists are all or nothing. A lot of them think I was a great college athlete. I played hockey. I played lacrosse.I played football or I was a power cheerleader. Unless I can train three hours a day, I'm not doing anything. So 77 percent of dentists, 77 percent of the general population are physically inactive. And mainly them being either they're on or off. They don't have a dimmer switch. The dimmer means, even though you might, you know, might own four practices, you might have a 12 chair office, you might have 52 staff, the body actually now, the exercise signs are now shown, exercise bites, which is basically two to three to four minutes of activity, could be as good or better for you than a 30 minute or 45 minute steady state program.So they're called exercise bites, and that's basically using the new signs of interval training to tap into how the physiology is best strengthened, and you can get fit faster. with exercise bites where you have intense, then you relax for five minutes to an hour. So, you know, with that, that means, you know, going out to your car to get your lunch that you've been purposely misplaced or go outside to move your car for the parking lot or going upstairs to text someone at during a coffee break instead of staying up and looking at, you know, insurance reports.And there's many ways to do that. So exercise bites, it's a little burst of activity with some spaced recovery in between. Michael: Interesting. Is that what you do? Okay. Uche: No, yeah, I really haven't worked out for an hour since I was like 28. I think I competed in a bodybuilding competition in Spain back then, but since that time, the last almost 30 years, I work out maybe 30, 45 minutes.Sometimes it's as little as 20 minutes. I'll take three exercises. So if I'm doing legs, back and biceps, I will do three exercises. And rotate them and do about five or six sets each. And it'll take me about 15 to 18 minutes. And that's enough to get a full body pump. And if you're doing exercises with a full range of motion, you can really get an incredible workout and then you're done, you don't need this hour, two hour marathon of fitness.You know, they've actually shown that steady state workouts are like MC hammer pants. They were cool back in the nineties, but they're very dated. Steady state exercise is a very dated affair. Michael: Interesting. And do you have like a day for rest or anything like that? Or no, it's every single day you do this.Uche: Good question. I think a lot of dentists and we're guilty of it, right? Smart people. I think a friend of mine calls it intellectual disease. We overthink exercise, we overthink nutrition, we overthink everything, and then you get what's called paralysis by analysis. A lot of dentists don't realize that we know more about nutrition than physicians.We do about 30 hours in our four years. Average physician does zero. Michael: Like, Uche: I think 25 percent of medical schools have any kind of nutrition criteria for the graduating from medical school. One dentist one time was sitting in my lecture. He texted his son who just graduated from medical school. And he said, Hey, some, some dentists just told me That you guys didn't do any nutrition in medical school.He goes, son, tell me something different. And the son said, dad, I did zero hours of nutrition in the last four years. Zero. So we know enough, we know enough nutrition to coach people chairside. my big thing is though, you really can't take patients on a journey. You yourself haven't been on. So you really got to look the part, you know, you can't smell like a drive thru and be very convincing chairside.You know, if you're getting your fingertips are yellow from smoking instead of turmeric, then guess what patients are going, Hey, that disconnect. You're guiding me on this total patient journey and you look like John Candy or Elvis Presley the night before he died. Michael: Interesting. Okay. So then that's the fitness and then the nutrition part real quick.If you can let us know, because Ushi, I know you've heard this many times, right? Hey man, fruits at night are bad or carbs are bad or hey, well only the, you know, Mediterranean diet, all these things. And I feel like sometimes I see you and you're, you're eating what you want, whatever you want. Uche: For sure. Um, a calorie is not a calorie.food affects people very differently. there's a new device now called CGM, Continuous Glucose Monitoring. And if I eat a hot dog and you eat a hot dog, your blood sugar may not rise and might go up. And that depends on your age, genetics, how physically active you are, how rested you are, if you just had some physical activity beforehand.If the hot dog is eating with some vegetables. What's your state of mind when you eat? If you're nervous and anxious and eating, the body responds very differently to the foods that you're eating. If you, if you're feeling guilty and you're eating fries, your body responds with a higher blood glucose spike than if you're feeling chill and relaxed, and I deserve these fries.I just came back from an hour of skiing. So, it all depends on age, how much muscle you have, how well rested you are, what else you're pairing it. So, a calorie isn't just a calorie, it depends on who's eating it, when you're eating it, what you just did before, and your state of mind when you're eating it.And that's why this, this can get very confusing, but my whole program is moderation rules the show. It's not just about looking great for eight weeks. inch by inch fitness is a cinch, but most people do such hard, uh, mega goals and activities. They fall off the wagon or as you said earlier, um, they get hurt.So the only reason why I've been training now for over 40 years is because I haven't had any big injuries. But I do do the physio though. I do get the massage. I do get some acupuncture, you know, I take care of myself. You know, I have the red light therapy. I got a grounding mat. I got the SAD light. I do all of these things, take care of this, you know, high performance formula on a race car called the dentist's body.Michael: Okay. Interesting. So if we could just three takeaways that we can do tomorrow, our listeners, and we start seeing our lives improve. What would those three things be? Uche: I would say first thing in the morning, within an hour, I would say get outside and get some daylight. It's the best way to reset your brain.And if you reset your brain first thing in the morning, you'll sleep deeper and better. You sleep deeper and better, you'll have a better brain, better memory, better, better mental processing. you can't get outside, I would say get yourself an SAD light. It's a 10, 000 lux light, which you plug in, they're about 100 to 200.plug it in and have it on your, on your island as you look at your texts or your answering emails first thing in the morning. So I would say get some morning light. Second best is artificial light to get some physical activity in the day. It doesn't have to be an hour. It could literally be a coffee break.Go down and walk to the Starbucks and get your coffee instead of having the Uber Eats send it to you at lunchtime. Go out to your car, do a little, you know, a 10 minute meditation, some quiet time at lunchtime and then walk back. Those little exercise bites is my number two. strategy for my busy professionals to take away third, I'd say nighttime have a sleep hygiene system where you slowly as the evening wears on you dim the lights because anytime you have really bright lights, the brain thinks the daylight at 11 o'clock at night.If you're a successful dentist, you have 10 offices. We just did a full mouth rehab. You have 200 pot lights going on. Your ancient caveman or cavewoman brain says it's noon. And you might fall asleep because you're exhausted and you're still chewing on a retraction cord. Okay. What happens is you don't sleep as deep and your, your body makes 25 percent less melatonin.So you have a weaker immune system. And because you don't sleep as deep, you slowly age at a more accelerated fashion each night. So morning sun, exercise bites, and dim the light as the evening goes on to treat this body like a high performance Formula One race car. Michael: Beautiful, Uchi. I appreciate your time.And if anyone has further questions, where can they find you? Uche: Um, I'm on Instagram. If you go to at Fit Speakers, and you go, you know, Fit Speakers is the way to find me. If you just Google Uchi, U C H E, fitness dentist, I'm the only guy. Out of 260, 000 dentists in North America, there's only one Uchi fitness dentist.So just Google Uchi fitness dentist. Direct message to me. My phone's available. I'm here to serve. It's my desire to help my colleagues live a more elegant, more physically fit life. And to make their health span as long as their lifespan. So they can leave the planet by hella skiing at age 97, 98.Michael: Wonderful. Thank you so much, Uchi, for being with us. It's been a pleasure. And so much for coming with me on this Monday Morning episode. Uche: My pleasure, Michael.

Julia King Pool joined us last season to talk about the psychology behind the concept of burning in rather than burning out. In this episode, she continues that conversation by sharing specific strategies for approaching some difficult scenarios you might have encountered. Hosts Juliana and Marlys ask Julia several questions about stressful scenarios educators often find themselves in. These include difficult conversations with a student's parent, balancing creativity and autonomy with a scripted curriculum, and not feeling supported at school. Julia provides research-backed steps for these situations and also talks through strategies to help educators' wellbeing all around. She references Sabine Sonnentag's work around recovering from the workday in talking about how educators can work toward balance. Sonnentag outlines four aspects to help recover from a workday, including psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery experiences, and control. Julia talks with Juliana and Marlys about the variety of ways those might look for an individual. This episode also references this RAND research report and also Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.  Learn more about Julia King Pool's work at BurninMindset.com or by connecting with her on LinkedIn.

Sam Harris speaks with Yuval Noah Harari about meditation, the need for stories, the power of technology to erase the boundary between fact and fiction, wealth inequality, the problem of finding meaning in a world without work, religion as a virtual reality game, the difference between pain and suffering, and other topics. Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in history from Oxford University and is a professor in the Department of History at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He specialized in World History, medieval history and military history, but his current research focuses on macro-historical questions: What is the relation between history and biology? What is the essential difference between Homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in history? Does history have a direction? Did people become happier as history unfolded? He is the author of two blockbuster books, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow.   Episodes that have been re-released as part of the Best of Making Sense series may have been edited for relevance since their original airing.  

In this episode, I begin a series of conversations with my best friend, Steve Watkins, about pursuing happiness, wholeness, and healing.

Sean Illing talks with evolutionary anthropologist David Samson, whose new book Our Tribal Future delves into how tribalism has shaped the human story — and how we might be able to mitigate its negative effects in the future. Sean and David discuss how and when tribal organization came on the scene, what changed in human organization when it did, and how taking advantage of some positive aspects of tribal alignment could provide a path toward inoculating humanity against stubborn, regressive divisiveness.

Yuval Noah Harari (@harari_yuval) is a historian and the bestselling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. His latest book, Unstoppable Us, Volume 1: How Humans Took Over the World, is out now. What We Discuss with Yuval Noah Harari: At a time when information is unlimited, has the idea that "knowledge is power" become obsolete? It all depends on how careful we are about ingesting the right kind of information — and knowing which kind to avoid. Religious texts and nation-defining constitutions are only as useful as their human interpretations — which can shift radically over the course of generations. In what ways might technology like artificial intelligence and genetic engineering threaten a humanist-centered approach to the future? How algorithms that guess new ways to sell us things we don't need can be modified to put us on the hit lists of authoritarian governments. What humanity really needs to do in order to avert climate crisis and World War III. And much more...

SapiensSapiens Full Book Introduction Homo sapiens were once an inconspicuous group in the corner of Africa. How did they eventually make it to the top of the biological chain and take over the planet? Where did money and religions originate from? Why did the empires created by humankind rise and fall one after another? How did science and capitalism become the most crucial tenets of modern society? This book will help you sort out the journey of humankind from ancient times. By uncovering the origins of cultures, religions, laws, nations, and credit, humankind can reexamine itself. Author : Yuval HarariBorn in Israel, Yuval Harari is a history professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is a world-renowned historian and a rising star in the field of history. His focus areas incorporate history, anthropology, ecology, genetics, and other academic disciplines. From a macroscopic point of view in his research, he frequently yields perspectives that are innovative and can afford much food for thought. Hence, his works are highly sought after by readers from all walks of life. Once published, his Sapiens became an international hit and gained popularity in dozens of countries. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. East Africa, 2 million BC. It was a stretch of lush grassland, covered by a sea of bright greenness after the rainy season. Above the distant horizon were a few pale cumulus clouds scattered across the azure sky. A gutted giraffe lied underneath a tall Acacia tree, while a pride of lions gnawed on it. In a secluded spot in the grass next to the tree, hounds and jackals waited quietly. By the time the lions had left the area, hounds and jackals swarmed and feasted on the giraffe until all that's left was a skeleton, then they departed contentedly. At this moment, another group of creatures, very humanlike and somewhat chimpanzee-like, walked out of the bushes a little further. The group of creatures had arms and legs but walked upright. After carefully gathering around the giraffe skeleton and vigilantly surveying their surroundings, the creatures chiseled the giraffe's bones with several sharp stones. They dug out the only edible tissue that remained: marrow. The surface of the moon, 1969. The plains and plateaus composed of Plagioclase and basalt were dotted with meteor craters of breccia. Since the atmosphere was thin and almost nonexistent, the sunlight shining onto the grayish-white pitted ground was directly reflected into space. It not only resulted in considerable land surface temperature difference but also turned the sky pitch black. For billions of years since its birth, this place had been dead and quiet. Until this day, there had been no sign of life except for occasional visits by meteorites. A strange metallic device appeared in the distant sky and landed after quickly approaching. Two creatures in white but outlandish attire descended from the machine above. They bounced clumsily on the ground, inserted flags, and erected a metal tablet on this patch of land. Then one of them made a footprint in the ground and said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." At this point, it should be clear to everyone that both stories are about ourselves as humans. Not so long ago, we were just weaklings on the prairie. We lived a life of fear and anxiety, feeding on raw, bloody meats. But in a short amount of time, we created a colossal global civilization. By what force did we as a species rise to power? Where did humankind originate? And how was civilizations born? How did we stick out from...

21 Lessons For The 21st Century21 Lessons For The 21st Century Full Book Introduction Artificial intelligence has already entered our lives. While we enjoy the convenience it brings us, we are also worried that it might take our jobs, access our data, and make decisions for us. Given the numerous challenges we will be facing in the future, how do we make sure we can stay at the forefront of time and survive? Following Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, as the finale of the trilogy, the book 21 Lessons for the 21st Century will bring you to a significant discussion about human destiny in the twenty-first century. Author : Yuval Noah HarariThe author of this book is Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli writer, also known as “the young geek“.

Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book: 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. According to statistics from the Internet Data Center (IDC), the amount of data generated globally in the year 2008 was zero point four nine zettabytes (ZB). If we assume that a book has 200,000 words, that amounts to an equivalent of fourteen hundred trillion books, which can fill two hundred and eighty thousand libraries. By 2011, the amount of data had increased by two point seven times, which equals to an average increase of 250,000 libraries per year. Fortunately, artificial intelligence (AI) can process a great amount of data, and allows us to enjoy the technological advancement it brings to our lives. However, when we benefit from technology, have we ever thought about the possibility of AI taking our jobs, accessing our data, and even making decisions for us? When it comes to this point, how will we survive? The book, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Harari discusses this exact question. Not only does it take a historical perspective, but it also covers a wide range of knowledge areas: biology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and religion. The author believes that individuals can have a direct influence on the world. Known as the young geek, Yuval Noah Harari is a historian who obtained his doctoral degree from the University of Oxford. Besides this book, he has published another two global bestsellers, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, completing his trilogy. Unlike the other two books, the one we are going to discuss today is more instructive. It focuses more on the challenges people are facing at the present moment. It gained enormous popularity and wide attention around the world since it was published, and has so far been authorized for publication in over twenty countries. This book has selected twenty-one significant topics on the solutions relevant to the future of humans. This Bookey will divide them into three main parts. Part One talks about the challenges the information explosion era poses to human beings; Part Two is about how individuals can find the truth; Part Three looks at how individuals can prepare for the future.

The real difficult thing will be the transition.” “Almost all people are liberal. Even the conservatives…”“The ideological differences are small on the ground, but they are very big in people's imagination. People have fantasies about what the other side is planning to do which are completely divorced from reality.”“Fantasies often shape history and cause people to do terrible things.” “Instead of leaders who are trying to heal the national community you see leaders that try to destroy it and get power by kind of leading just one tribe.”“I think the big narrative is the biological narrative that we are all homo sapiens, that we all have the same basic experiences, [...] these are things that are common to all humans.”“A sacred place is a place plus a story about the place, and this is at the bottom of most conflicts in the world.”“On the level of the body, we can relate to every other human being in the world because biologically we are all the same. What creates this huge distance between us is the fantasies that the mind imagines and produces.”Follow Yuval Noah Harari:Website: https://www.ynharari.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/harari_yuvalFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Prof.Yuval.Noah.HarariInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yuval_noah_harari/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@YuvalNoahHarari
