Our emotions and animal instincts are part of who we are. How can we make sense of it better? How can nations be aware of this to sustain humanity?

From the perspective of history, neuropsychology, and philosophy — Yuval Noah Harari and Mark Solms discourse on the cause of the flooding rage in society, the ''hidden'' missing piece of the advancement of science and technology, and the future fate of humanity. Moderated by Gita Wirjawan, an entrepreneur, educator, and currently a visiting scholar at Stanford University at the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC).

Professor Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and bestselling author. He is considered one of the world's most influential public intellectuals today. His books ("Sapiens," Homo Deus," and "21 Lessons for the 21st Century) have sold 40 million copies in 65 languages, including Bahasa Indonesia. He just released the first volume of ''Unstoppable Us", a brand new children's book series aimed at "liberating our future generations from our past."

Professor Mark Solms — the Director of Neuropsychology at the Neuroscience Institute of the University of Cape Town. His latest book, "The Hidden Spring: A Journey to the Source of Consciousness," takes us on a journey to solve contemporary neuroscience's most giant unsolved puzzle: our emotions. He is the authorized editor and translator of the forthcoming Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud.

    Saya salah satu penonton setia channelnya pak Gita dari Papua. Dari Sesi awal sampai saat ini selalu saya mengikutinya dengan saksama dan terus dapat menimbah ilmu disetiap topik pembahasan. Salut sekali untuk topik kali ini pak Gita, tetapi saya merasa harus ada sesi tersendiri dengan Prof Yuval. Kami menantikan gebrakkan selanjutnya di channel pak Gita ini. Salam sukses pak dari kami di tanah Papua.
  • @pisaukaratan
    Now this is a world class content that Indonesians desperately need more of! thank you pak Gita 🙏🙏
  • gila, ini channel youtube indonesia terkeren, mestinya channel youtube kayak gini jadi contoh, bintang tamunya kelas dunia, topiknya sangat berbobot, salut untuk Pak Gita
  • My dear father who passed away before YouTube, would love this conversation, and would not believe that I am able to access if for free. Thank you for uploading this important discussion.
  • Salah satu yang spesial di episode yang juga spesial ini buat saya adalah Episode Notes-nya. Benar-benar membantu saya yang masih kesulitan untuk mencerna isi obrolan ini. Jadi setelah menyimak obrolan, saya punya sedikit gambaran soal apa aja yang baru aja diobrolin (terutama di topik-topik yang memang saya tertarik), tapi gambaran-gambaran itu masih dalam kondisi yang "scrambled" dan belum terlalu jelas juga. Nah, episode notes ini membantu untuk merunutkan gambaran-gambaran yang acak tadi; jadinya lebih memperjelas gitu. Melalui episode notes ini saya jadi mereka ulang apa yang baru aja diobrolin, dan karena bahasa dari episode notes ini lebih sederhana (tanpa mengurangi esensinya) dan terdiri dari point-point pentingnya saja, saya yang kapasitas otaknya masih terbelakang ini jadi lebih bisa mengerti apa-apa aja yang pembicara sampaikan. Terima kasih tim endgame buat episode notes-nya, auto saya duplicate ke notion saya sendiri. Satu lagi, mungkin ke depannya episode notes ini bisa dihadirkan lagi? Or maybe I'm asking too much here?!? :')

    Gita Wirjawan, when observing your initiatives and the topics you address, I am deeply impressed! Thank you so much! I told my 13 year old grandson: the future of mankind lies in mental development. Meditation is one approach: everything positive we need is there. It‘s just covered by layers of undigested and unaware emotions.
  • @Itsonlyme43
    This awesome interview and discussion shall be spreading across the world ! 🌍
  • @redemptus77
    As long as we as humans fail to come up with stories that we can agree upon, we will continue to destroy each other. The tragedy of humankind is that we somehow find ways to advance and improve our external circumstances, yet, after thousands of years, fail to improve within.
  • So interesting. Beautiful that I can just watch this from my chair at home on a random Sunday afternoon.
  • @zhenlim4422
    unless a talk makes you question reality and takes on a rollercoster ride of perspectives it aint worth the time, simply Awesome.
  • Brilliant and heart-connected. It is amazing and also frustrating that there is an absence of women, but how thrilling to witness these men speak with heart as well as mind. . A return to wisdom through the consciousness of Yuval in words could not be better expressed, possible for almost anyone to understand. I love how he reminds us over and over of our animal nature. Mark Solms has the grace to acknowledge the vital statements of Yuval. This is rare and extremely appreciated by this listener, as peers and forgone masters are too often ignored. There is not a person present who has not gleaned his knowledge from books, written by others, including the ancient others who were far superior in consciousness and language.
  • Great interview. Yuval is a wise extraordinary speaker. The power of his words can take us to a new world if we really listen to him.
  • @kdshak4904
    46:30 Democracy is conversation. Wow. Thank you Dr. Harari. 👏
  • @jlvandat69
    These are truly priceless conversations and very much appreciated. As Einstein said, we cannot solve problems at the level of awareness in which they were created. Harari & Solms are providing the higher level of understanding we need to actually, sustainably resolve serious challenges in these incredible times.
  • Excellent discussion: Taking Responsibility of oneself through knowing thyself is the highest form of Compassion. In turn we can reciprocate Compassion and live up to high Moral ideals, enhancing Morality and improving the world. Going within ourselves in meditation brings us to Nirvana which brings us to a balance i.e homeostasis. We can learn from History and STOP the cycle from reinventing itself, with tools like democracy e.g discussing different view points with others and being able to listen to each other. Awesome conversation 👏👏👏👏👏 thank you all very much.
  • I’m thrilled to see these two brilliant men together: thank-you so much for making this happen! Congratulations.
  • @Mrgoofyoops
    A brilliant conversation with fantastically insightful descriptions of the human condition, today, and throughout history.
  • @budawang77
    What a privilege to listen to these world class minds.
  • History and neuroscience is my favorite topics, thanks for doing this conversation
  • @isalutfi
