The Future of Education - Yuval Noah Harari & Russell Brand - Penguin Talks

Is no one gonna point out that Russell's a way better moderator than 99% of journalists and academics that interview him nowadays?

Russel Brand did a really good job here. He made the interview light and enjoyable, and at the same time probed Yuval to go deeper into his ideas than I've seen him go in other interviews.

Oh how I love Russell Brand. Listen to him praise the students for the quality of their questions. He is such a great example of raising each other up!

not sure why I didn't like Russell Brand in the past - this man is a brilliant interviewer! Respect.

Ironic that Youtube's algorithm hacked my mind to help me find this amazing this video.

Brief summary: - Rather than being "exploited", most of the people could be "irrelevant"to the monetary part of the society (such as currently homeless humans) - If Artificial intelligence will know you better than you it can predict and/or shape your moves - Philosophical questions (such as: "what is human") have a sort of urgency to address. - If you want to have an impact, joining or creating some organizations could be helpful (human animal is stronger when they co-op) - Focus is the key (distraction distorts your reality) - Learn how to learn. The question is "how do I find my way in enormous amount of information"? -Start with a question relevant to your life (such as: Why men dominates woman in most of the societies in the last 10.000 years?; or why most humans eat other animals?). Let questions lead you into an interdisciplinary and exciting path. - Can we create a situation that we would not use the words like "irrelevant humans"? - The difference between "prophecy" and "possibility" is important. You can create better future(s)

I’m much more youthful and physically flexible at 63 years than I was when I was in my 30s / 40s. Please realise we may become more youthful as we gain wisdoms through life experiences 🙏💕

To become a self-guided learner: start with Plato's dialogues on education. How do you know what you need to know, until after you've learned it? How can you tell what is true? These were considered crucial questions then, that needed urgent answers.

If you allow young people to be inquisitive, creative and self-reliant, they will educate themselves throughout their adult lives. Childhood should be seen as a sacred phase of development and education as a means of the individual to empower themselves, as and when they choose to; not a punishment to be inflicted upon the unwilling until they are ready to enter the ranks of workers, bureaucrats and managers.

Oh I wish I wasn’t old already...I’m so curious about the future.

"You know philosophers are very very patent people,they can argue for thousands of years about some ethical dilemma without resolution."🤣🤣🤣

Other than how much i enjoyed this lecture, i just cant get enough of how pleasant the stage illumination is. There is something very meditative about the colors present in that room.

Great moderation by Russell brand he steered the conversation so well

I would like to see you on Joe Rogan as a 3 hour discussion

Coming to this in 2020 - isolated and away from my kids thousands of km away.....My son chose to read Theology. I had read Law, Politics and Economics and retain a keen interest in these areas. I had discouraged his choice and questioned it. I was probably wrong.

This guy Harari is nuts! Just nuts!

Some jobs are not worth saving!👍 We should start learning how to live meaningfully in the future!🤔

I like watch you. I training my English and learn new things about past, present and future of humanity. Greetings from Brazil.

It seems to me that the purpose of life is to contribute to Society, and do good things. And the purpose of education is to learn how to interpret and understand the World. Students need to learn the "language" of the World. They need a good, solid, understanding of the basics. Then they can adapt to anything, and be better prepared to contribute.

53:28 The way Russel Brand raises the energy in the room is fascinating!
