Why, despite being the most advanced species on the planet, does it
feel like humanity is teetering on the brink of self-destruction?
Is it just our human nature? Israeli philosopher and historian
Yuval Noah Harari doesn’t think so — he says the problem is our
information trade. This is the focus of his latest book, Nexus: A
Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI.
Harari explores the evolution of our information networks, from the
printing press to the dumpster fire of information on social media
and what it all means as we approach the “canonization” of
AI. In this episode, Kara and Harari discuss why information
is getting worse; how fiction fuels engagement; and why truth tends
to sink in the flood of information washing over us. Vote for Kara
