Making Bureaucracies Sexier with Yuval Noah Harari | What Now? with Trevor Noah Podcast

Trevor Noah

271,174 views

Christiana and I speak with Yuval Noah Harari, whose latest book, Nexus, asks, if humans are so smart, why do we do so many stupid things? The three of us interrogate truth vs. fact, the threats and promises of AI, and how these questions connect to global issues like the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

My admiration of Trevor Noah has grown with this podcast. Not only did he do the homework for the conversation but he has the talent, background and intelligence to be able to present the right (and deep) questions not only about the book but also about the author to put everything in context. I hope this conversation is seen and heard by millions of people. I think I am now ready to read the book

If there wasn’t so many things going on in the world right now this podcast would be the standard of all other podcasts. Real people discussing real issues.

My two favorite people in the same room. Trevor was the reason I began reading in my late teens. Yuval solidified my decision to be a history major.

I am a 65 year old poliglot, have lived in 4 countries, spent the 1st 28 yars of my life in communist soviet occupied socialist Hungary. About half way trough watching this podcast, I started to send it to friends, about 2/3rd of the way I realized, that I would have re watch this many more times, (same as I did listen to my copy of "Born a Crime" CD set, that I bought when it came out from Barnes and Noble). Now, I have to go back and Google the work of that lady in the middle of the conversation, as she is new to me. she does not say mutch, but when she does, oh boy, she is sharper than anyone I know, and every tines turns, and twists the conversation, onto an unexpected new direction. posing questions, that neither of these 2 Noahs never thought of.... WOW!

So many podcasts are boring. This is the kind of conversation that you dream of hearing as you move through your day. Definitely not boring!

Best "What Now" podcast guest yet! I love both Yuval and Trevor... what a joy listening to both of them.

When Trevor was able to talk about Arafat and Rabin, as well as quote what the Go player said after he lost to AlphaGo, I knew this podcast series will be my favourite!!!

It is very rare to find podcasts with hosts that can discuss a topic at equal level with the expert they are inviting. Sometimes I’m just so disappointed by podcasts hosts inability to ask the right questions on our behalf.

But this is the kind of Q&A I have been hungry for. Thanks Trevor and team for making this happen!!!

Today I was an un-productive worker bacause of this video and I am proud of it. Thank you for share this wonderful conversation with us <3

When u learn more from the podcast than from reading the book itself, trevor and the lady were sharp, their questions were deep, the conversation seemed authentic, and went in unscripted directions, they could pull things out of yuval in a way that no other interviewer did. Thank you all

I almost never comment and THANK YOU! For making content and giving your platform for helping people think, reflect and hopefully broaden their horizons. You, your voice and platform are a gift.

@Vaultchild32 1 year ago

Heard many interviews with Yuval Harari, this is the only one that seems in spots to try and get past Nexus and more into the man behind it. Well done Trevor! That's a skillset that is more instilled in your character than learned later in life.

That trust part added a new perspective to me. Ungratefulness is one main root cause for pessimism.

@aleksandrachudobska5233 1 year ago

Impossible to overrate Yuval! Every single argument and even a sentence he delivers is so well thought-out and articulated that you'd like for all people to adapt the same perspective. As ever, a delight to spend some time with!
