Episode notes

We need a world where the technologyis serving us, not where we're serving the technology. Each human mind as a human home that is for maximum sale to some other party. We are debasing in a system that's optimized for profiting off atomization and comodification instead of air. And i think we really do want move to ok, so if we all recognize this, what would it look like to become the kind of culture, the kind of democracy,. the kind of society that maintains a pluralistic view?

Yuval Noah Harari is one of the rare historians who can give us a two-million-year perspective on today’s headlines. In this wide-ranging conversation, Yuval explains how technology and democracy have evolved together over the course of human history, from paleolithic tribes to city states to kingdoms to nation states. So where do we go from here? “In almost all the conversations I have,” Yuval says, “we get stuck in dystopia and we never explore the no less problematic questions of what happens when we avoid dystopia.” We push beyond dystopia and consider the nearly unimaginable alternatives in this special episode of Your Undivided Attention.
