“The world in which we live has been created by humans, and therefore humans can change it.” Historian and bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari joins Ronny Chieng to discuss his new children’s book, what evolutionary history can teach us about human responses like fears and cravings, and his concerns about AI and religions eventually being created by alien, non-human, intelligence. #DailyShow #YuvalNoahHarari #History #RonnyChieng
Evo Devo psychology is a very soft science with limited to no evidence to support its claims, many of which are unfalsifiable. Most of the claims are akin to “just-so stories” that use scientific language and concepts instead of the supernatural explanations that were used to explain phenomena. I don’t disagree with some of his points regarding human psychology, but it is important not to attribute them to our evolutionary development when there is no way of acquiring evidence that can support or refute those claims. TLDR: Here’s a story explaining why we behave in certain ways that is internally consistent and comports with our scientific understanding of our evolution, but has no evidence to support it.
ReplyUSA wants the China dream? Welcome to full on Hunger Games USA isn’t this amazing of course I’ll answer for you since you probably have a mask over your hands.
ReplyTwo people really worth listening to!
ReplyThere is little hope when humans still believe in mythical gods after 2500 years… and churches are allowed everywhere in the USA tax free
ReplyI generally don’t dig the interviews but this was superb. It was so Ronnie.
ReplyInteresting mix of science meets childish pessimistic humor.
ReplyThis is the face of soft Zionism 🤦♂️. He will moralize everything including genocide. Glad Jon Stewart isn’t doing this propaganda interview. Guess he knows better or at least I hope so
ReplySuffragettes were violent dude. The feminist movement didn’t even start peaceful. Don’t diminish the struggle.
ReplyThis trouble we’re seeing at the moment is not accidental. Dark forces are trying (and failing) to maintain the power they once had. They’re using fear to do it.
ReplyGreat job Ronnie to get Harari’s humorous side into the open. Didn’t know he had it! 😂
ReplyRonny is hilarious, but he needs to up his skills interviewing. That was a failing grade interviewing a very difficult guest, but on what could’ve been one of the most impactful guests on the program this year.
Ronny was in over his head; you could feel it.
And don’t get me wrong, I think Ronny is hilarious, an incredible comedian. But in this format, with this unique of a type of guest…he fell very flat.
I wish we could’ve seen Jon Stewart talking with Harari.
Colbert’s interview with him Monday night was (much) more insightful.
ReplyConnect the dots rationally.
ReplyI don’t enjoy many interviews, RC makes me watch the ones he does 😂😅😂
Replythese are probably the only circumstances in which I like comedy to be sparse, when a smart interesting person is saying things. Ronnie does navigate that well, though. And Yuval is a great sport.

ReplyTwo AuDHD’s having an intelligent conversation about something they are BOTH passionate and knowledgeable about.
Make no mistake. Mr. Harari calls them geeks, but only because game recognizes game.
ReplyThat’s absolutely interesting: Now he had to do the hard part and explain why some foods ‘needs’ to be kosher or if it makes sense to separate milk and meat.
ReplyI usually really love Ronnie, but this was a painfully long neverending slow death. This was just missing the big reveal at the end of: “ha ha! I was tasked with a secret mission to always pretend like I disagree or I don’t understand, no matter what he said!”. That’s the kind of task you can be given in improv class. This interview, without that reveal, made Ronnie look(?) really dumb and ignorant. I’m surprised TDS would even air this. Yikes. Embarrassing Fail.
