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.”
