Yuval Harari & Jon Kabat-Zinn
New Event
Dear Friends,
Our world is on the brink of major changes, and humans' chances for survival are not that good. We are facing wars, political division, climate change, emerging AI, and more.
We are the most “intelligent” species to ever walk the planet, yet in many ways, we are on a path of destruction.
How do we move forward in this new chapter?
NEW EVENT
Join us live in NYC September 12th or via livestream to explore the “invitation for humanity” in these times with YUVAL HARARI, JON KABAT-ZINN, and others.
Most of you in the Wisdom 2.0 community know author and mindfulness teacher, Jon Kabat-Zinn.
Yuval Harari is a historian, philosopher and the bestselling author of "Sapiens," among others. He is also a very committed meditation practitioner and author of the forthcoming, NEXUS.
Along with Jon and Yuval, we will have a day of speakers on Mindfulness, AI, and The Future of Life. Others will be announced soon.
We have limited space in person, and attendance is by application.

I question why you have invited Yuval Harari as a speaker... given his known biases, which we as a mindful community are attempting to get less trapped in. I know he is still, valued in certain intellectual communities... yet I suggest you take a deeper look at who he is, and which political circles he is aligned with.
“As far as we can tell from a purely scientific viewpoint, human life has absolutely no meaning. Humans are the outcome of blind evolutionary processes that operate without goal or purpose. Our actions are not part of some divine cosmic plan, and if planet earth were to blow up tomorrow morning, the universe would probably keep going about its business as usual. As far as we can tell at this point, human subjectivity would not be missed. Hence any meaning that people inscribe to their lives is just a delusion.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
Wow, quite an interesting choice of speaker.
