vue - Bananas in heaven | Yuval Noah Harari | TEDxJaffa
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. TEDxJaffa partnered with The British Council [http://www.britishcouncil.org.il/en], which connects people with learning opportunities and creative ideas from the UK. BIRAX [http://www.britishcouncil.org.il/en/programmes/science/birax] (the Britain Israel Research and Academic Exchange Partnership) is a £10 million initiative of the British Council and British Embassy in Israel that funds cutting-edge research using stem cell therapies to tackle some of the world’s most dreadful diseases. Prof. Yuval Noah Harari (http://www.ynharari.com/) lectures at the Department of History of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He specializes in World History. His most recent book is the international bestseller "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" (http://www.ynharari.com/sapiens-the-book/short-overview/). The book surveys the entire length of human history, from the evolution of Homo sapiens in the Stone Age up to the political and technological revolutions of the twenty-first century. Harari's central thesis is that Homo sapiens rules the world because it is the only animal that believes in things that exist purely in its own imagination, such as gods, states, money and human rights. Starting from this provocative idea, his book goes on to retell the history of our species from a completely fresh perspective. It explains that capitalism is the most successful religion ever invented; that empire is the most fruitful political system ever created; that the treatment of animals in modern agriculture is probably the worst crime in history; that humans are in the process of upgrading themselves into gods; and that even though we are far more powerful than our ancestors, we aren’t much happier. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

,,,,,,, True that Human minds works with objective reality and virtual reality.... But we have invented Mathematcics Geometry , algebra Equations ,,, all these things are virtual reality ....becase they are based on ideal shapes and concepts which doesnt exist in realworld....But these concepts works in reality very much as we expect .....other wise it would not been possible for human beings to be able to advance in technology so much...
-
then humans force other humans to believe the stories or kill them.
-
he is too city to know about animals. actually the animals are not that different from human. the differences are...
-
I guess the beauty of humankind is the fictional creation of our self-believed world. We set our own rules and manage to live on them.
-
Sapiens is a must read book before you die
-
The lack of intellect in this pseudo intellectual pontification is astounding. I can't believe this guy actually has an audience. Not to mention that much of the "facts" in his surface level ideas are simply false. This is probably really fascinating to twelve year olds.
-
This guy is a genius as in he managed to make Ted talks by talking about facts. Humans are intelligent. Intelligence is the reason we are where we are as humans. Intelligence leads to imagination and laws and coordination.

Si quelqu'un de sympa et compétent peut sous-titrer en français,
ce sera avec plaisir pour ceux qui ne pratiquent pas l'anglais. Merci. -
And the only way to progress further in our development is to rid ourselves of these fictional stories/beliefs/setbacks..
Of-course the back lash of these lies will render our current situation a bit grim till we over come it and erase the lies.
I think it is time people deserve the truth..and it is a disgusting situation to wake up from, why do we even do that? think about it growing up people said santa was real... y would you do that to your supposed loving child, if you loved them why did you lie to them.
Being able to lie a little is damaging cause a little lie becomes a bigger lie over time.
Like in the Matrix, Free your mind, I can only show you the door, you have to walk through it.
I woke up and never felt good about religion perhaps i am only part of a few but seriously if you want to venture planets and to stars and distances currently unimaginable you have to rise and believe we can continue this venture and progression together without these lies. -
At least he ends well... that doesn't mean he means well. However. Entities like the United states and world bank only exist in our collective imaginations....and it's up to us and US to make sure our fictionalized networks of people the U-humans, to make sure the lions, the penguins, and chimps are well feed and turning ......more human? I guess there lies the beauty of what he is saying... Lions and lambs lie down and read me my daily Yuval please. hahaha

Osama Bin Laden....likes our money. Ok buddy, I think you're on to something huge here.
-
depends who's playing the Yankees at Yankee Stadium...organized chaos too not just "amazingly sophisticated networks of creation"... all he does is overstate the obvious, never a genius. flexible co-operation in large numbers UHMANS, using language to create new realities. he says nothing new in new ways that's all.
-
not genius. sorry your wrong. Religion changed us. It's that simple. he's a fucking non-genius. no contribution to knowledge of humanity... "Kaizer Draco"? Hail Hitler and the 25 retards who thought so.
-
i am reading his book 'Brief history of humankind', human's unique cooperation comes from our imagination and common belief on fictional reality, it's 100% true, belief is the very first step we can do anything.
-
Interesting until he mention the holocaust, jewish propaganda...
-
we are not the rulers of planet earth = we are really vulnerable mostly water, blood and bones - we seem to have the infinite intelligence to imagine the vanishing of many species including our own the earth won't really notice that much, its probably busy trying to absorb yet another interplanetary marbles game

very inspiring!
