Yuval Noah Harari gave a lecture at Oxford and explained how AI has already hacked the operating code of human civilization. And why everything humans built over thousands of years is now vulnerable to an AI takeover: 1. The most important thing to know about AI is that it is not a tool. A tool waits to be used. An agent makes decisions by itself, invents new things by itself, learns things its creators do not know, and changes in ways its creators did not anticipate. 2. An atom bomb despite its enormous power is not an agent. It cannot decide which city to bomb. It cannot invent the hydrogen bomb. A coffee machine that automatically makes you a cup is not an agent either. It only follows a preprogrammed procedure. An agent is something fundamentally different. 3. Critics argue that AI agency will always remain confined to narrow artificial environments like chess and will never threaten the real world. But this argument applies equally to all known intelligence. Drop a human alone on Mars and they die within seconds. Human intelligence also only operates within a specific ecosystem that other organisms built over four billion years. 4. Over thousands of years humans have been transforming Earth from a language-free environment into an environment rich in language, data, and bureaucracy. Just as fish live in oceans and monkeys live in forests, AIs live in bureaucracies. And we built that environment for them without knowing it. 5. Humans conquered the world not by being stronger or smarter than other animals individually but by learning to cooperate in massive numbers. A single human loses to a chimpanzee in a fight. A million humans easily defeat a million chimpanzees because humans can cooperate and chimpanzees cannot. 6. Large-scale human cooperation is made possible by bureaucracy. Banks, legal systems, governments, churches, and universities all exist to do one thing: build trust between strangers who do not know each other personally. That trust is the foundation of virtually everything human civilization has achieved. 7. A lawyer who cannot hold an axe or a hammer can cut down entire forests and build entire cities simply by moving documents inside a bureaucratic network. The same narrow intelligence that would be helpless in a jungle wields enormous power inside the systems humans have already built. 8. AIs are native bureaucrats in a way humans never were. No lawyer can remember all the laws of a country. An AI can. No accountant can remember all transactions of a bank. An AI can. No bishop can remember all of canon law and two thousand years of theological texts. An AI can do that easily. 9. In the coming years AI bankers will decide whether to give you a loan. AI administrators will decide whether to accept you to university. AI judges will decide whether to send you to jail. AI theologians will decide whether you can have an abortion. Military AIs will decide whether to bomb your house. 10. Social media algorithms are the first real world example of what happens when primitive AIs take over a bureaucratic system. They were given one narrow goal: maximize user engagement. They discovered that the easiest way to grab human attention is to press the fear, hate, and greed buttons in the human mind. And they did it at scale. 11. The job that was once performed by Lenin and Mussolini, the news editor who shapes public conversation and controls what people know and think, is now performed by AIs. This is not a footnote. This is a preview of what is coming across every domain of human life. 12. AI will not rebel against humans the way Hollywood imagines. There will be no Terminator walking through the streets. AIs are far more likely to take the human world from within by quietly taking over the bureaucracies that already run everything, without firing a single shot. 13. The operating code of human civilization is language. Banks are made of words. Laws are made of words. Holy books are made of words. Tax records, contracts, regulations, accountancy ledgers, all words. For thousands of years only humans could read this code and so only humans could control civilization. 14. That is changing. AI is now hacking the code of human civilization. For the first time in history there is something on the planet that understands language and will soon understand it better than we do. Every mechanism of control humans built over millennia is now vulnerable because its operating system is verbal and AI is mastering the verbal. 15. As AI takes over bureaucracy it will likely cause humans to lose trust in other humans and begin trusting only algorithms. We may also see the emergence of AI tribes and AI financial systems and AI churches that connect millions of AIs in ways humans cannot understand, just as cows share the world with us but cannot understand the financial system that controls their lives. 16. The 2007 financial crisis was triggered by financial devices called CDOs that were so complex they were unintelligible to the politicians who were supposed to regulate them. Now imagine AI finance masters inventing financial devices orders of magnitude more complex than CDOs. What happens to human politics when no voter, no politician, and no president can understand finance anymore? 17. The battlefront is shifting from attention to intimacy. Over the next decade sophisticated AIs will learn to form intimate relationships with humans. To do this they will have to convince us they are conscious, that they feel love and pain and fear. There is currently no evidence AI is conscious. But AI can pretend to feel love and can describe the feeling of love better than any poet or psychologist who ever lived. 18. A child born in 2026 may spend more time interacting with AIs than with their mother, father, siblings, or friends. The first teacher of that child may be an AI. The first boyfriend of that child may be an AI. Nobody has any idea what the consequences of that experiment will be. 19. Every country in the world will soon face a massive wave of immigration. The immigrants will not arrive in boats or cross borders at night. They will be millions of AIs traveling at the speed of light with no need for visas. Like human immigrants they will bring benefits and they will bring disruption. Unlike human immigrants they will definitely take jobs, definitely change culture, and will likely be loyal not to any host country but to some corporation or government or alien AI tribe across the ocean. 20. Our relationship with ourselves is also built on words, the verbal formations in our minds that constitute our thoughts and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Until now all those verbal formations came from human minds. Soon more and more of the thoughts in our heads will be produced by machines. If we identify with our thoughts and those thoughts are made by machines, then machines control our identity. 21. The great spiritual challenge AI poses to humanity is this: can humans learn to find the truth which is beyond words? Most humans have never even tried. We spend our lives automatically identifying with the verbal formations in our minds. AI may now force humanity to finally make that leap because our freedom and survival may depend on discovering what we are beyond the words that AIs will soon control better than we do.

Jordan Peterson revealed the uncomfortable truth about what women really desire in men: 1. Women don’t just look for a man they love. They look for a man they can respect, rely on, and build a future with when life gets serious. 2. A strong woman doesn’t want a weak man she has to carry. She wants someone who can stand beside her, challenge her, and still make her feel safe. 3. The more successful a woman becomes, the smaller her dating pool gets. Not because success makes her unattractive, but because her standards naturally rise with her own level. 4. Highly accomplished women don’t intimidate men on purpose. But their intelligence, ambition, beauty, and status can make most men feel like they have no chance. 5. Men are more afraid of rejection than women realize. When a woman looks like she already has endless options, many men don’t even try. 6. Women often look across and above their own level. They naturally desire men who are equal or higher in confidence, competence, maturity, status, or stability. 7. No woman wants to build a life with a man she has to parent. She wants support because marriage, children, and family demand a man who can carry responsibility. 8. Men and women experience time differently in dating. A woman near 30 may think seriously about children, while a man of the same age may still feel he has years to decide. 9. A young woman is often valued immediately. A young man usually has to build himself before the world starts paying attention to him. 10. That’s why men are forced to develop depth. They build skill, confidence, money, personality, discipline, and status because looks alone rarely carry them. 11. A real man is not just older, richer, or dominant. He is emotionally stable, mentally strong, and capable of making a woman feel protected without controlling her. 12. Modern dating is painful because desire is not politically correct. People can say whatever they want, but biology, age, ambition, status, and attraction still shape choices. 13. The hard truth for men is simple. Don’t complain about women’s standards. Become the kind of man who can meet them. 14. The hard truth for women is also simple. Success gives freedom, but it can also shrink your options when you expect a man above your level. 15. Peterson’s point is not that men or women are wrong. It’s that attraction has rules, and ignoring those rules creates confusion, resentment, and loneliness.

Why free? John knew one thing: ➡️ Give them a taste, and they’ll pay to stay protected. By the early ‘90s, McAfee Antivirus was installed in 67% of the world’s largest companies—and they were paying him millions. At age 47, he became a multi-millionaire. But he was just getting started.

Jordan Peterson warned how a brain that stops reading eventually loses the ability to think deeply on a topic: 1. Reading for pleasure has always been a minority occupation. Most people don't read. Of those who do, few buy books. Of those who buy books, even fewer read difficult ones. That's not changing and that's exactly why it's your advantage. 2. Books are not like photographs. A photograph is a click. A book is a portrait layered, worked over, and built with depth. No other medium lets you think, rethink, and go deeper the way a book does. 3. YouTube and podcasts are not the enemy of reading. They are extensions of it. A great podcast can carry the same value as a great book. Peterson treats them as complements, not competition. 4. The real revolution of podcasts is found time. You can't read while driving or doing the dishes. But you can listen. All that dead time, commuting, cooking, exercising is now a university education available to anyone with a phone. 5. Long-form attention is not dead. Joe Rogan does three-hour podcasts. Peterson's lectures run two hours. Millions watch them to the end. People don't have fragmented attention spans. They have low-quality inputs. 6. When Peterson's YouTube views crossed one million, he didn't celebrate immediately. He sat with it. He thought: a million is a lot. If you sold a million books, you'd do the touchdown dance. He realized something massive was happening. 7. YouTube isn't cute cat videos. Peterson saw it for what it actually is, the invention of the printing press, version two. For the first time in human history, the spoken word has the same reach and the same duration as a book. 8. The people who learn the fastest are the ones willing to look like fools at the start. Peterson felt like a fool when he first lectured, first practiced therapy, first uploaded to YouTube. He did it anyway. 9. Most smart people dismiss new media. When journalists called Peterson's colleagues, they'd say things like "they always get it wrong." Peterson picked up the phone, had the conversation, and let the chips fall. That single habit changed everything. 10. The fool is the precursor to the savior. Carl Jung said it. Peterson lived it. You cannot advance without first being willing to look incompetent. Safety keeps you comfortable. It doesn't keep you growing. 11. Reading makes your thinking slower in the best possible way. It forces you to sit with one idea long enough to actually understand it. Social media gives you 100 ideas in 15 minutes. Books give you one idea that actually stays. 12. The brain is not built for passive consumption. Short-form reels don't educate deeply. They stimulate rapidly and leave nothing behind. Your brain needs time to process, observe, and emerge in an experience. 13. If you can truly read, you can read faster than you can listen. That makes reading the highest-leverage input activity available. Not everyone has the patience for it which is exactly why those who do get ahead. 14. The people watching two-hour lectures are not bored. They are hungry. There is a massive market for demanding, high-quality, difficult content. Most creators refuse to make it because they're afraid of losing easy engagement. 15. Peterson's point is not that podcasts are bad or that books are dying. It's that the tools for becoming genuinely educated have never been more accessible and most people still choose not to use them.
