In this long-form discussion with an audience of young readers and educators, historian and author Yuval Noah Harari explores the stories that have built and united humankind over tens of thousands of years.

Drawing from the words and illustrations in his new children’s book, ‘Unstoppable Us: How Humans Took Over the World’, Harari decodes the big stories of today (nations, money, gender roles, religion) to empower young readers to question our shared history and change the future.

    Fantastic quote: "The ability to admit I don't know takes honesty and courage. The first step to knowledge is to admit that I don't know..if you pretend that you know then you'll never learn anything new."
  • @soliniv1411
    Just imagine for a second the whole world if instead of churches we had this kind of lectures
  • @centaur7607
    I just love this partial quote by itself "the big scientific revolution which launched modern science was a discovery of ignorance. For thousands of years people thought they knew everything. That some holy book or some holy person knew everything. ... And science began when some humans admitted that we don't know everything. There is no book in the world that knows all the answers."

    What strikes me about Yuval is that he's intelligent, yes, brilliant even, he's a great storyteller, but apart from that he comes across as a genuinely nice guy. I find myself listening to him a lot longer than I had in mind.
  • @HD.369
    Girls over there in the audience group are like Angels listening to Yuval and asking worthy questions 👌🫡
  • From India... we(family) feel, your lecture enriched us, thank you professor...
  • @MusaShinwari
    This man is very underrated, especially among Muslims. Most of the Muslim community rejects him just because he's an atheist from Israel, and that's very sad.
  • @Luqman.Khawaja
    I listened to the full episode. Very well done. At the end I must say, sitting in Pakistan, Clapping 👏 for you for sharing such an honest wisdom 🙏 Thank you, Youval Noah Herari ❤❤
  • Absolutely phenomenal! I just love that Yuval wrote this book for principally young children, preteens. Their lives will be most affected by the 3 threats to humanity that he described, but also they have the most power to change those threats (because they don't know the "limiting stories" that adults have already inculcated). Bravo! He is a superlative thinker, and communicator.
