We did a streamer... now an academic.

Yuval has been on the list for a while and now seems as good a time as any.

If you have any specific material for decoding that you would recommend let us know. We want long form content that is representative but covers some of the reasons he is controversial.

Will provide the selected source material when we find it!

Omg I'm dreading this one. I really like Yuval. From my perspective, Harari's insights are kinda bland when put under the microscope. But, imo, he's truly one of the most "neutral" big name public intellectuals out there. A little galaxy brained to be sure, a bit of a Cassandra, but very thoughtful without the faux grandeur of a true guru. Put him through the wringer guys!

I will always be grateful toward Yuval for speaking with clarity and sharpness against the anti democratic turn Nethanyau tried to orchestrate

Hate to say it but imo: Yuval is controversial in part because lesser people get jealous. Jealous of his success, confidence, the breadth of ideas and willingness to step outside present day orthodoxies. The guy is trying to get you to think, and for the most part has done a pretty good job.

I just started reading Sapiens too. I didn't know much about him, but was impressed with an interview he gave on The Late Show.

Malcolm Gladwell 2.0 but with History.

He's controversial because he thinks Spice World is an under-rated avant-garde masterpiece.
