We're in part or and whole, culpable for writes we we have invaded places. I think there are some obvious disanalogies there. Part of the global order of the last few generations was that civil wars are part of the game,. But invading and conquering other countries and wiping them off the map is not. And this is now what is at stake.
Sam Harris speaks with Yuval Noah Harari about the wider implications of Russia’s war of conquest in Ukraine. They discuss different forms of war, Putin’s miscalculation regarding the internal divisions of America and the EU, the problem of misinformation, international norms of behavior, the role of China, the civilizational importance of trust, globalization and de-globalization, existential risk, the role of India, Ukrainian leadership, the danger of nuclear war, regime change in Russia, and other topics.
