Video Description
What does it mean to be human in an age of artificial intelligence? In this video, Steven discusses the conversation between historian Yuval Noah Harari and mindfulness teacher Jon Kabat-Zinn. He posted the dialogue separately entitled AI and Human consciousness. In it they explore how digital technology, social media, and AI are transforming our consciousness, our relationships, and even our sense of reality. They discuss the rise of algorithms that are “always on,” shaping behavior by exploiting fear, anger, and craving—while humans, as biological beings, need silence, rest, and reflection. What happens when we lose touch with our inner life, our embodiment, and our analog nature? Harari shares profound insights on consciousness, suffering, and the rejection of reality, while Kabat-Zinn offers meditation and presence as antidotes to digital overload. Together, they explore the growing mental health crisis, especially among young people, and ask: Can mindfulness, compassion, and inner awareness meet the challenges of this accelerating world? This is not just a critique of technology—it’s a call to wake up, to know the mind, and to reclaim our humanity in the face of rapid change. 👉 Topics explored include: AI as alien intelligence and its ethical implications How social media algorithms hijack attention and emotion The roots of suffering and the rejection of reality The importance of embodied, analog awareness Why mindfulness may be the most radical act of our time The possibility of a new kind of collective story—grounded in truth, compassion, and presence 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on consciousness, ethics, and the future of humanity. #YuvalNoahHarari #JonKabatZinn #AI #Mindfulness #Consciousness #SocialMedia #DigitalWellness #Meditation #TechnologyAndMind #Wisdom2.0
