so it is that this global coronavirus pandemic is revealing truths about humankind. we balance self—protection against the collective interest. my guest today is the dutch writer and historian rutger bregman, whose book humankind: a hopeful history is making waves across the world. do we humans underestimate our capacity for doing good? theme music plays. rutger bregman, in the netherlands, welcome to hardtalk. thanks for having me. we are all living in this time of covid—i9. it is a global health emergency and in times of emergency, perhaps we learn more than usual about the nature of human beings. what do you think this pandemic right now is showing us about humanity? i think it is showing us that most people are actually pretty decent and that, especially in the midst of a crisis, people — most people, at least — show their better selves, you know? and you see this explosion of cooperation and altruism — i think that is one of the most important lesson. "an explosion of altruism" — i'm just wondering what you then make — how you process some of the other scenes we

really interesting to see that the entire life of humankind is a very very tiny blip in the history of the universe. they're filmed of gas the sun is safe like a bull so it's the end of. our world is full of nationally occurring shapes passions and symmetry both below and above water. it may seem random but native has its own intrinsic geometry. feeling fear it from sydney wants to know more about one shape in particular. one are so many things in nature around could it be some kind of panda lacked a code the stars the planets including our own everywhere you look spheres and circles are inches coconuts round lentils tomatoes to our eyes blood cells drops of water fear of the ground across the universe there is no getting around the round thanks to fundamental physical phenomena. first gravity this is what enables large bodies like planets or stars to hold other objects in their orbit. but the larger the mass the greater the gravitational force and gravity pulls everything towards the center of a mass so when an object has a lot of mass people tend to form a sphere where all points on

not only humankind but we all live in one planet and with that existential crisis to shut yourself offrom others and isolate yourself fails at least with this virus it has clearly fight one - - clearly failed.tr . . . . this pandemic is something like a natural disaster but only once in a century. our flaws and weaknesses in our social system. we want to address merely weaknesses. maybe we should look at what germany has learned. i can say there's something we could rely on the fact that so many people stepped up to the plate and sewed a sense of community. in spite of all the physical things you have when you have a federal makeup of the state,fi it's also having its advantages. it brings responsibility to a lower level and we've also seen germany as part of europe. made difficulties, mistakes because we were shooting ourselves off against each other than we learned the lesson. our processes have been bureaucratic but they take too long and it's something we need to address. there's one good thing, foundation in good standing, solid and found financials. we were able to help our compa

others contributed to enabling us to now have a vaccine only 12 months after, well, it shows that humankind is capable of such great scientific feats, is capable of doing ground breaking research, and i think this shows the way out of this pandemic, although this is going to be a very or dues road, much of an uphill battle and much more difficult than many think. biontech, pfizer has developed vaccines. biontech was a startup. people from 60 different nations work in this startup, and it's a clear illustration also of the shared value of international cooperation and of what you can actually do with this kind of cooperation. the pandemic has left deep imprints on our societies and our economies, and it is safe to say that i think it's going to determine in many ways the way we live, the way we do business over the next few years. hundreds of people -- hundreds of millions of people have actually become infected. millions have died. there's certainly also -- certainly only the official figures, and in many ways davos is the right place to discuss how we can get out of this pandemic and how w

just heard from our reports that there's possibly over 800000 different viruses in animals in fact humankind now that sounds very scary. yes it is believed there could be more than that number. so what does this mean i mean are we doomed not exactly we have to be proactive in this situation is that each species. have their own verus is common to their needs and will we still keep our distances this way as we circulate within each but will we be in there and not cause they were exposed to all that or else we can jump into us and the closer we have to the more intimate our relationship the easier it is for the person to jump in jaws ok and our definitely not want an intimate relationship with a virus so what does this mean. we just stop eating wild animals like bots or is there a way to go around it i think one of the things that groups like the group of project is doing is to have a free knowledge of what type of viruses there is there and we studied them within the image a new head of time how to prevent people getting infected ok so in terms of people that already eat a lot of wild animals

it shows humankind is capable of great scientific feats, is capable of groundbreaking research, and this a way out of this pandemic. although this is going to be a very arduous road, much of an uphill battle, much more difficult than many think. biontech, pfizer, companies all over the world have developed vaccines and biontech went from a startup, 60 different nick nations -- people from 60 different nations working in this start up, so it shows international cooperation and what you can actually do with this kind of cooperation. the pandemic has left deep imprints on our societies and our economies. it is safe to say that is going to determine in many ways the way we live, the way we do business over the next for years, hundreds of millions of people have become infected, millions have died. these are certainly only the official figures. in many ways, davos is the right place to discuss how we got duct of this pandemic and forge a future-looking path. any pandemic is not good for the health of the people, the social and economic possibilities, the cultural possibilities. do we really n
