Yuval Noah Harari TED Dialogues 2017
Nationalism vs. globalism: the new political divide (transcript)
Summary
The reason that l love his thoughts is that he straightly says what humans are for is for nothing, we might not be able to live disturbingly, though.
Although audience's laughed, l thought that's the truth.
It's because we, humans, only say that our own side is right, we don't see our separated world, and there is no compromise or conversation with people having different opinions.
The side of nationalism tries solving only countries problems while ignoring neighboring countries.
The side of globalism wants to tackle about world problems though there are no leaders and no big money.
We have to know about our real division. It’s not between liberals and conservatives but between global and national.
It can be said that it needs for us completely new political model and completely new ways of thinking about politics.
The solution the speaker suggests is not to globalize the economy and turn it back into a national economy or globalize the political system. It really needs high-level loyalists and commitments beyond the nation. It must not stop on the national level but be misled by identities.
We are struggling with the fictions that we have created and it's important to be liberated from it.
