Neev: why humans believe
From 70,000 years ago to a hundred years ahead. Five episodes, each one ring deeper.
Neev is a five-part Hinglish video series by Venkat Rao on YouTube. It tells the Two Point Singularity idea through stories: why humans believe in stories, who holds us, and why coherence has to come before machine intelligence. Each episode ends on the question the next one opens with. English captions and transcripts come with every episode.
Premiere: Friday 8 January 2027, 7 pm IST, with the introduction film Neev · Ek Parichay (about 5 minutes 30 seconds) and Episode 1. A new episode follows every Friday at 7 pm IST.

Questions
What language is Neev in?
Everyday Hinglish, the mix of Hindi and English spoken across urban India, with English captions and a transcript for every episode.
Do I need to read the books first?
No. Each episode stands on its own. The books go deeper if you want them.
Is Neev the same as the Neev app?
They share a name and an idea. The series tells the story; the free Neev app is where you draw your own map of the people who hold you.
