Join Dr. Marc Gafni as he critically examines the fundamental errors in Yuval Noah Harari’s assertions that stories, human rights, and human purpose are mere fictions, figments of our imagination With around 60 million books sold, Harari is celebrated by influential figures like Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Klaus Schwab as a leading philosopher of our time. In this enlightening discussion, Dr, Marc Gafni—in a fierce and funny tour de force—dismantles the grim assumptions presented in both Harari’s adult and children’s literature, aiming to set the record straight and introduce a new Story of Value. In Marc’s words, “ Value is Real, and, Value is Not Hard to Find, Value is Impossible to Avoid”. Embark on this profound exploration of both Gafni and Harari’s works like never before. This conversation is a game-changer, illuminating the fundamental principles and values that govern the cosmos and our personal lives. - In **Part 1**, Marc clarifies the concepts of meaning and value. - In **Part 2**, he exposes Harari’s perspective on human rights, artificial intelligence, and his claims regarding the authority of science. - In **Part 3**, Marc imparts the powerful insight that there are stories of value that are real, and that the most important one is a love story, and that reality itself is—at its core —a love story. **Watch until the very end and share your thoughts in the comments below!
