But let's move on to the presidential race and the voters the politicians never forget every time they need to win an election. African Americans aka black people. In twenty twenty, Trump only got twelve percent of the black vote, but this year polls showed that that he could double that number. And now that might be a way for him to win over black voters without actually having to meet any There.

But seriously, I.

But seriously, I.

Can believe these photos would actually swing some votes. I mean, if we're going to be this easily manipulated by AI, let's just let AI vote for us instead. I mean, at this point, we need to be smarter. I mean, I'm not going to vote for Trump just because I saw a picture of him with a bunch of Asian guys. Although I mean they do look like they're having fun. I mean, I wonder what they're talking about. I mean, damn, maybe it does help a little, but still, I know people are worried about misinformation, but it's pretty easy to tell if a picture of Donald Trump is AI generator.

Okay?

How about how about this one Trump with black people having a good time at a party. It's pretty normal human activity. Therefore, this is AI. But Kanye in the Oval office shoving his phone into Trump's face. I mean, what the is even happening here? This is too insane to be real. And that's how you know it's real. There's also other tells, like, you know, check the skin tone. Does his face look like a normal human, that's probably ai. Does his face look like a dish sponge after the chili night, then it's real. So that's the rule. Is he smiling in front of three thousand hamburgers, you see staring directly into a solar clips, you see touching or going off with Middle East dictators, then it's real. I hope that clarifies things. But while Donald Trump is trying to get the vote of black people, Joe Biden is trying to get the vote of cheap people. I mean, have you been to a grocery store lately and notice your bag of chips has had two fewer chips than it used to?

Shrinkflation is when companies make the size of their products smaller without cutting prices. The size of some Oreo cookies has decreased by six percent since twenty nineteen, and a family size of wheat thins has dropped twelve percent in weight. Even some Sharman toilet paper rolls now have twenty fewer sheets.

But really it's actually eight rolls. Again, just tell me tell me how many rolls there. It's not going to do math at CBS. And look, I do think it's a good political issue for Joe Biden to focus on, because do you really think Americans will go to the polls to protect democracy? Hell no, but if you promise to restore another sprinkles on the popcots record turnout. And luckily for Joe Biden, he's now getting help from an ally who speaks to young voters, and I mean really young voters.

Please welcome.

Please welcome.

You've out Noah Harari, all right, you are.

Thanks for joining me.

Thanks for joining me.

I think you know, watching your stuff for the last like over ten years before I came to America.

I think you know, watching your stuff for the last like over ten years before I came to America.

Love it.

Love it.

You kind of specialize in dealing with the history of humanity and the rise and falls of civilization. What made you think that was appropriate topic for children? This is some very heavy stuff, man.

You kind of specialize in dealing with the history of humanity and the rise and falls of civilization. What made you think that was appropriate topic for children? This is some very heavy stuff, man.

Yes, but you know you need to understand history to know even the most basic things about yourself. Like when I was a kid, I was I often woke up in the middle of the night afraid there is a monster under the bed, which happens to a lot of children.

Yes, but you know you need to understand history to know even the most basic things about yourself. Like when I was a kid, I was I often woke up in the middle of the night afraid there is a monster under the bed, which happens to a lot of children.

Yes, and you call your mom, but you.

Yes, and you call your mom, but you.

Also want to know why is it happening right? And history actually holds the answer. What is the answer, Because this is really a memory from hundreds of thousands of years ago when humans lived in the savannah, and they're actually monsters, cheetahs, lions that came to eat kids in the moment.

Also want to know why is it happening right? And history actually holds the answer. What is the answer, Because this is really a memory from hundreds of thousands of years ago when humans lived in the savannah, and they're actually monsters, cheetahs, lions that came to eat kids in the moment.

So is that something you want kids to know? Yes, that these monsters were once real and they killed kids in their sleeve.

So is that something you want kids to know? Yes, that these monsters were once real and they killed kids in their sleeve.

It's important to know that because you then understand your own emotions and feelings better. You know, you understand that I'm not crazy to be afraid of these things. Or for instance, you know, lots of kids, like adults, they wonder why do I like to eat so much stuff that isn't good for me?

It's important to know that because you then understand your own emotions and feelings better. You know, you understand that I'm not crazy to be afraid of these things. Or for instance, you know, lots of kids, like adults, they wonder why do I like to eat so much stuff that isn't good for me?

It's something wrong with my body?

It's something wrong with my body?

And again history holds the answer what is Because all those hundreds of thousands of years ago, it actually made sense. If you walk along with the savannah and you find something sweet, like sweet fruits, it makes sense to each as much of it as quickly as possible, because if you eat just one or two fruits and go away, by the time you come back, the baboons ate everything. So it makes sense under those conditions. Now today it doesn't make sense when you open the refrigerator and find a chocolate cake to all.

Of it, but your body doesn't know.

Of it, but your body doesn't know.

Your body basically follows the program of evolution from all those years ago.

Your body basically follows the program of evolution from all those years ago.

Yeah, it's programmed. So if you can't do it, there, stop it.

Yeah, it's programmed. So if you can't do it, there, stop it.

And you can't, you stop it.

And you can't, you stop it.

But understanding yourself better is an important step. Okay, well, having greater control of your life.

But understanding yourself better is an important step. Okay, well, having greater control of your life.

Those are good examples. But I'm gonna quote your book here.

Those are good examples. But I'm gonna quote your book here.

Yes, please, let's get to the chapter in the children's book called Diarrhea Days where I quote someone who got diarrhea, couldn't keep down any food or water, and sometimes they died from it. It is this something you really want kids to know?

Yes, please, let's get to the chapter in the children's book called Diarrhea Days where I quote someone who got diarrhea, couldn't keep down any food or water, and sometimes they died from it. It is this something you really want kids to know?

Yes, because you know it actually explains where most of the epidemics and infectious diseases came from. Hunter gatherers suffered from no epidemics. They lived in very small bands. If somebody had the arhea, then immediately all the band moved to another place, and in any case, only.

Like a few people could get it.

Okay, But once once people switched to agriculture and we had the big agricultural revolution, then.

You have thousands of people stuck permanently in.

The town, the first humans air low berries and share their pants and move.

On and ja, Yes, how do you tell that to kids?

On and ja, Yes, how do you tell that to kids?

Though? Like, what's your approach to telling you know? How do you even everything you just told me? As an adult? I'm fascinated by or when you tell a kid, are they you know, they're like, okay, give me more berries?

Though? Like, what's your approach to telling you know? How do you even everything you just told me? As an adult? I'm fascinated by or when you tell a kid, are they you know, they're like, okay, give me more berries?

You know what I mean? Like, how do they you know?

You know what I mean? Like, how do they you know?

How do they absorb the lesson you're trying to tell them?

How do they absorb the lesson you're trying to tell them?

I hope that it's written in such a way that even somebody who is eight or nine is fully capable of understanding it.

I hope that it's written in such a way that even somebody who is eight or nine is fully capable of understanding it.

It's actually more difficult.

It's actually more difficult.

To write for kids than for adults, I agree, because with adults, if you don't know something, you just use these complicated words and long sentences, and they think they don't understand you because they don't understand.

To write for kids than for adults, I agree, because with adults, if you don't know something, you just use these complicated words and long sentences, and they think they don't understand you because they don't understand.

With kids, you have to speak very simply.

With kids, you have to speak very simply.

Yeah, like sometimes we died from diarrhea.

Yeah, like sometimes we died from diarrhea.

Yeah.

Yeah.

See, so this is what I think. This is what I think I think you wrote. You've written Sapiens before, which is a great book for adults, and I think that there's too many dumb people who couldn't understand what you're saying.

See, so this is what I think. This is what I think I think you wrote. You've written Sapiens before, which is a great book for adults, and I think that there's too many dumb people who couldn't understand what you're saying.

So you wrote this not for kids. You wrote this for dumb adults. That's really what this is.

So you wrote this not for kids. You wrote this for dumb adults. That's really what this is.

This is a book you took it that you put some pictures in there. There's an illustration of someone dying from diarrhea. This isn't from kid, this is for dumb adults. Right, that's planation, right, and you want and like you know, I feel like a lot of what you're telling us is the message of what history is trying to tell us.

This is a book you took it that you put some pictures in there. There's an illustration of someone dying from diarrhea. This isn't from kid, this is for dumb adults. Right, that's planation, right, and you want and like you know, I feel like a lot of what you're telling us is the message of what history is trying to tell us.

Now.

Now.

I feel like that's what you're trying to decode right now, a lot of it. And I guess what is the message that history is trying to tell us?

I feel like that's what you're trying to decode right now, a lot of it. And I guess what is the message that history is trying to tell us?

Now? Many messages.

Now? Many messages.

I mean, one thing is to be aware of unintended consequences of what we do.

I mean, one thing is to be aware of unintended consequences of what we do.

Like again, the agricultural revolution. People thought it was a good idea.

Like again, the agricultural revolution. People thought it was a good idea.

It brought about epidemics, so same lesson for the big revolutions of.

It brought about epidemics, so same lesson for the big revolutions of.

Right now, like AI.

Right now, like AI.

The more important message is that the world in which we live have been created by humans, and therefore humans can change it if something is unfair. It's not the laws of nature that created you know, our economy, our nations, our religions, they're all created by human beings, right, And.

Yeah, you see, that's that untopeful. But if you think about you're like, oh, no, humans did all this?

Yeah, you see, that's that untopeful. But if you think about you're like, oh, no, humans did all this?

What hold do we have? No?

What hold do we have? No?

I know, but like what do we have of changing things? I mean how much? I guess what I'm saying is how much of this is inevitable? You know, like when you study history, you go.

I know, but like what do we have of changing things? I mean how much? I guess what I'm saying is how much of this is inevitable? You know, like when you study history, you go.

History is never terministic. I mean, like you think about the technology.

History is never terministic. I mean, like you think about the technology.

Every technology can be used to create very different societies. You think about I don't know, North Korea and South Korea exactly the same technology, but the US electricity in a slightly different way. One place they produce kpop and just up north big hats and missiles.

Every technology can be used to create very different societies. You think about I don't know, North Korea and South Korea exactly the same technology, but the US electricity in a slightly different way. One place they produce kpop and just up north big hats and missiles.

So okay, am I supposed to just take that? Or okay, fine, Well.

So okay, am I supposed to just take that? Or okay, fine, Well.

On the most serious level, again, people have a lot of fears about technology, what it will do to our politics. But again you think about South Korea and North Korea, so the same people, same history, same technology, and you have a liberal democracy on once in a totalitarian regime on the other. So it's not a technology that is shaping our politics of our regimes. It is what we decide to do with the technology.

So it's not a technology that is shaping our politics of our regimes. It is what we decide to do with the technology.

Sure well you say that, you say that we are in charge of the technology in a way. Yeah, but you know, the kind of one of the thesis statements of your book is that we're all going to get replaced by technological being.

Sure well you say that, you say that we are in charge of the technology in a way. Yeah, but you know, the kind of one of the thesis statements of your book is that we're all going to get replaced by technological being.

The wrong decisions.

The wrong decisions.

I mean again, it's it's not inevitable AI like electricity, like you know, the earliest I don't know writing when people invented writing. So you can do many things with the technology of writing. The you can write poetry, you can write taxes.

I mean again, it's it's not inevitable AI like electricity, like you know, the earliest I don't know writing when people invented writing. So you can do many things with the technology of writing. The you can write poetry, you can write taxes.

You can write you can say, well you can write.

You can write you can say, well you can write.

Like a you can. But again it's a choice of people.

Like a you can. But again it's a choice of people.

Actually, interestingly enough, the first person that we know his name, he was not a conqueror.

Actually, interestingly enough, the first person that we know his name, he was not a conqueror.

He was not a big prophet or king. He was a geek. He was an accountant. Like we have these.

Stones and clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia with accounts of payments and receipts and salaries and stuff like that, signed by these ancient geeks, and they are the first people.

Okay, So.

Okay, So.

You keep calling these people geeks, and I'm like, do you like them or you don't like them?

You keep calling these people geeks, and I'm like, do you like them or you don't like them?

I don't are they good or they're bad?

I don't are they good or they're bad?

They're good. I mean, Jesus said the geek would inherit the earth.

They're good. I mean, Jesus said the geek would inherit the earth.

No, all right, So back on that topic. So you keep saying, you know, stories are the superpower of humans in a way, right, everything we kind of do if you think about it, from culture, the politics, even money.

No, all right, So back on that topic. So you keep saying, you know, stories are the superpower of humans in a way, right, everything we kind of do if you think about it, from culture, the politics, even money.

Money, Money is the greatest story ever told. It's the only story everybody believes. And you know it's when you look at it. It has no value in itself. The value comes only from the stories we tell about it, as every cryptocurrency guru or bitcoin in.

Food the US.

Food the US.

No, it's all about the stories. There is nothing else. It's just the story.

No, it's all about the stories. There is nothing else. It's just the story.

Okay, So is it real? Is a big cooin? You telling me investing big poins right now?

Okay, So is it real? Is a big cooin? You telling me investing big poins right now?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Is there a good thing or bad thing?

Is there a good thing or bad thing?

I think it's it's kind of a cyclical thing. If enough people believe in it, then you can go to the supermarket and buy whatever you want. If people lose faith in the story, then it's worth nothing. And that's true of the bitcoin, It's true of the dollar and of every other currency is that people ever invented?

Okay. You see when you talk about these things, you're always very objective. You always be like, hey man, I'm just I'm just telling you how it is.

Okay. You see when you talk about these things, you're always very objective. You always be like, hey man, I'm just I'm just telling you how it is.

I'm not.

I'm not.

What do you think do you think you know? What makes you go for this? You know, because because when you talk about history always like you know, the humans came out and then some of the eight berries, and you know you maintain this kind of academic objectivity.

What do you think do you think you know? What makes you go for this? You know, because because when you talk about history always like you know, the humans came out and then some of the eight berries, and you know you maintain this kind of academic objectivity.

But what what makes Yeah? But what actually do you go for this? Ship?

But what what makes Yeah? But what actually do you go for this? Ship?

This is awful? What makes you go? Because you seem to be okay with everything like she is? It's a tool. We don't know, you go like, AYI this is bad? Like what what makes you go?

This is awful? What makes you go? Because you seem to be okay with everything like she is? It's a tool. We don't know, you go like, AYI this is bad? Like what what makes you go?

Now?

Now?

The question about every story, whether about money, ai, whatever, is whether it increases or decreases the suffering in the world.

The question about every story, whether about money, ai, whatever, is whether it increases or decreases the suffering in the world.

See, this is a non answer. Just tell me what you hate, Tell me what you.

See, this is a non answer. Just tell me what you hate, Tell me what you.

Hate, what I hate? Yeah?

Hate, what I hate? Yeah?

Okay, So okay, can we tell this right now? So you think that, uh you're openly atheists?

Okay, So okay, can we tell this right now? So you think that, uh you're openly atheists?

Yes?

Yes?

Yes, So can you clarify right now that God is just made up?

Yes, So can you clarify right now that God is just made up?

Okay? So God has made we had it here?

Okay.

Okay.

Can you say to the camera please mean that.

Humans created God?

Okay, great, that we settled it. That's great, this guy, we solved it.

Okay, great, that we settled it. That's great, this guy, we solved it.

Again, it should be emphasized just because human created it doesn't mean it's bad, it can also do good things.

Again, it should be emphasized just because human created it doesn't mean it's bad, it can also do good things.

Stop hatting this, just let it right, just go it sucks. We need more see this is my this is my problem. I think we need more people with kind of objectivity, calmly discussing things. I don't think that's you know, is anything in what you've seen with humanity telling you that we can, you know, pull ourselves out of you know, all these downslides in history.

I don't think that's you know, is anything in what you've seen with humanity telling you that we can, you know, pull ourselves out of you know, all these downslides in history.

Absolutely, I mean humans have enorm I mean, all the problems we face, we also have the resources to deal with them, whether it's climate change, whether it's the rise of AI.

Absolutely, I mean humans have enorm I mean, all the problems we face, we also have the resources to deal with them, whether it's climate change, whether it's the rise of AI.

We have the resources.

We have the resources.

What we usually lack is the motivation and the ability to cooperate within another. But I mean, you know, some people think that to solve the big problems you always need to use violence, like you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. But when you look at history, it's absolutely not true. You think, for instance, about the feminist revolution. After thousands of years of a huge injustice, feminism made a huge change in the social structure of humanity without starting any wars, without assassinating anybody.

So that's one of the hopeful examples of how people can just by changing the story also change the world. I mean the idea that stories.

I think you're converting people to your religion, the idea.

I think you're converting people to your religion, the idea.

That the story is kind of fuel history. There is a positive promise there that, you know, if it's all about power, the only way to change power structures is with violence. But if it's really, at least in part about the stories people believe, then potentially by talking with people and changing the stories in which in which they believe, you can change the world.

Okay, that's very optimistic, but I'm not over so I mean, one last question. What I really enjoyed by your work is that you like to tie kind of current modern behavior to like our evolutionary beginnings. For example, you know, like you said, we ran, we wake up in the middle of the night when we're kids because we ran from actual monsters children. So I just like to know, why is it that whenever I pe, I shiver, like, what was the evolutionary Maybe.

No, I'm asking you, mister expert.

No, I'm asking you, mister expert.

I'm not an actual from everything.

I'm not an actual from everything.

The last thing I found very interesting is you said that, like, right now we have humans composing things and AI amplifying it. That's our current situation. You say, in the future, we're going to have AI composing things.

The last thing I found very interesting is you said that, like, right now we have humans composing things and AI amplifying it. That's our current situation. You say, in the future, we're going to have AI composing things.

And what is the images you saw before of AI generating fake images?

And what is the images you saw before of AI generating fake images?

Yes, this is basically a kind of art.

Yes, this is basically a kind of art.

So it's still the first steps, right, but AI is still a baby. It's like, you know, ten years since the start of the of the major AI revolution, so we haven't seen anything yet, and it is very likely between a couple of years of decades, much of our many of the stories we believing in religion, will be increasingly created by this alien intelligence and not by human intelligence.

Okay, see that's bad.

Okay, see that's bad.

That's a bad thing.

That's a bad thing.

Well you just said that.

Well you just said that.

That's not a very dangerous thing. Yes, absolutely, Okay.

That's not a very dangerous thing. Yes, absolutely, Okay.

So are you gonna say that? Can you at least say that's bad?

So are you gonna say that? Can you at least say that's bad?

Yeah, that's bad.

Yeah, that's bad.

Okay, I finally got to say something bad. Okay, I don't know.

Okay, I finally got to say something bad. Okay, I don't know.

I guess I'm equal parts hopeful and pessimistic about the future.
