<p>I sat down with Yuval Noah Harari at the World Economic Forum in Davos and we ended up covering everything from why Christianity's core story is essentially "you are loved by an omnipotent God" to why Greenland might just be the world's most expensive real estate play. He walked me through how algorithms were handed the job of managing public conversation and optimised for hate because hate drives engagement, how AI is about to become the new rabbi because it can read every religious text ever written, and why the friendship between Europe and America — built over generations — is being thrown away for a bit of ice. He also told me that the biggest political achievement in human history was governments spending more on healthcare than military for the first time — and that it's being deliberately destroyed.</p><p><br></p><p>Footage courtesy: WEF | CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 | Source:  • <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eq5mK2OrWw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Davos 2026 Highlights | World Economic For</a>...  [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0S048D2tj4&t=29s" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">00:00:18 -
