In this podcast episode, Trevor Noah chats with Yuval Noah Harari about his new book, "Nexus." Harari explores the peculiar contradiction of human intelligence and our tendency towards self-destructive behavior. He argues that the real issue isn't human nature itself, but rather the information we consume and how it is shared. The conversation delves into the complex interplay between information, truth, and the institutions that shape them in our fast-changing world, especially regarding AI development. They discuss themes of trust, the importance of understanding various viewpoints, and potential paths to peace in challenging situations like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, ultimately highlighting the need for self-correction and valuing the present moment.
