The War in Ukraine Could Change Everything

Share This

In this video, Yuval Noah Harari, a noted historian and futurist, addresses issues related to the War in Ukraine. He responds to questions on TEDs. Harari is not a politician and he characterizes himself as such. But unfortunately, he would not go beyond declaring that he is not a politician and stop talking about politics. While what he says about the implications of the war to the human community, he misses the cause of the war and hence would not be able to suggest any viable solutions. Harari is also wrong on how the war brought Europe closer – he could have drawn from his theory about technology to get it right but he did not. He should draw from cultural anthropology to see Europe’s cohesion depends more on evolutionary processes and factors than on Ukraine’s war.
