Euronews should choose their interviewers more carefully.. he is not qualified to make an interview with Varoufakis..
-
Yanis is a very patient man!
-
Yanis is fascinating to listen to. Especially when he's not being interrupted by someone who needs to know when to listen and not to try and compete
-
When the interviewer made Yanis explain the meaning of "cloud" I knew it was over.
-
The interviewer lacks the intellectual depth to discuss ideas and issues with Mr. Varoufakis.
-
This interviewer is insufferable
-
Apart from everything else, what a great listener Varoufakis is. He always answers the question, unlike virtually every other person who runs for public office. That capacity to establish an intelligent conversation through close listening and replying is one sign of a genuinely democratic individual.

Mate, as a third generation Aussie Greek, I have come to fully admire Yanis Varoufakis. What a smart mate, and he gives me cultural bragging rights. His views on the processes at play with current global economics is laser sharp and provides astounding enlightenment. His particular views on Technofeudalism is out of this world. Leaders of all countries need to study his work before they end up in a cesspool of economic, no return. The Leaders of countries have a responsibility for providing a minimum of a middle class life-style for ALL their citizens.

Very good observations from Varoufakis. As a game developer I am very well familiar with these techno feudal lords who are producing nothing but taking 30% of every transaction.

Yanis "If one person owns their algorithm that controls billions of people, then we have something worse than 1984. We are shifting towards a Brave New World, opening up access to algorithms. In 1984, the problem was surveillance, but in Brave New World, the issue is that we become happy little slaves who love our slavery. This highlights the dangers of a single entity controlling a powerful algorithm with widespread influence, creating a society where people are unaware of their subjugation."
-
Excellent interview, and Yanis Varoufakis proved himself to be far above the interviewer's league. Ironically the YouTube algorithm brought me here, so it's not entirely evil!
-
My one Philosophy professor once said that a good question gives birth to the best answer. Yanis takes this a step further: he turns out excellent answers from even the weaker questions, to put it kindly. In essence he is opening our eyes to develop a much more critical view of the new trading system that is framing the economic landscape of the world. Nonetheless we still need to eat, work, live, develop, etc.
-
Perfect host. He shows how society has bought that fantasy of the world. Yanis Varoufakis shows the reality. Host read book and got upset, unhappy. He was upset at reality.
-
As Yaris said, this interview was trying to be hyper intelligent and come across as a total idiot. He interrupted him, talked over him. He was dreadful as an interviewer.
-
Here is the action plan: take responsibility for your own life first...set yourself up so that you are not reliant on the government or large corporations. Next, build a local community of support.
-
The interviewer lost it... The logic, the manners, and ALSO the microphone connection. Of course be wasn't aware of all those things... What a joke! 🤣
-
Ironically the algorithm sent me here and now I want to read his book. Fantastic interview.
-
As a tech person, Mr. Yaris has very good knowledge about the subject. Amazing.
-
Oh, dear! The interviewer is such a reflection of the prevailing culture in the UK today, woefully under-educated and under-prepared. The brilliant Varoufakis, so patient.
-
"that takes an incredible degree of naivity to be optimistic about the future" Varoifakis -- indeed it is! we are in a very dangerous moment in the world, horror times and risks for the future.
