Yuval Harari & the Metawealth Miniverse
Why shoot the messenger? YNH tells it like it is--and we should run the other way
Yuval Noah Harari is the philosopher providing the rationale of The Great Reset, and the top advisor / justifier / minion of Klaus Schwab, depending on your perspective.
The controversy continues over Russell Brand & YNH: was Russell fooled or is he part of the plot? I analyze an interview Yuval did with Daniel Soylesisi on superfluous people, medicine as body upgrades, drugs and computer games for the masses, the degradation of family and happiness, and the market as a replacement for "the intimate community." I have to wonder if Yuval is a 'truth double agent' because his warning is so clear. I end with a plan to send the oligarchs into space in Elon Musk's 'cockrocket' so they can get their food from a lab and live forever while all us superfluous people can live our short, brutish lives on the land.
Here is a synopsis of my video with links and quotes. Both are recommended for the full experience:
A viewer named Maria Sangiorgi was concerned to hear a rumor that Russell was friends with Yuval, even though he didn’t seem to support the New World Order. In Meaning Is All There Is, I address the photo of Russell kissing Yuval on the forehead that’s been cited as “proof” that Russell endorses Yuval’s point of view. I support their open and even affectionate dialogue and feel I have much to learn from Russell in having conversations with people with whom I disagree.
I have two episodes on Yuval from these interviews Russell did a few years back: Legal Shamans and Economic Witches and Alien Nation. In the first, I agree with four things he says and challenge four others. In the second, I categorize people Russell has interviewed by their sense of superiority, and say that it’s more important than their belief or non belief in God. I still agree with my point but it turns out that Yuval is the exact opposite of believing in equality and self-governance, as I categorized him.
In this interview with Daniel, however, it’s easy to see why I would think that. Yuval paints such an alarming and repugnant image of the Great Reset that he seems to be warning us against it. At the same time, he points clearly to the solutions we need to take control of our own lives—upgrading the health of our bodies rather than intervening after they break down; producing our own food in active, energetic ways rather than being passive consumers; having family and ‘intimate community’ to whom we’re responsible rather than government and the market; using our labor to serve our own purpose rather than serving the rich, to whom we’re “useless, superfluous, worthless and meaningless,” in his words.
As the spokesperson selling us The Great Reset and transhumanism, I have to wonder if Yuval is a ‘truth double-agent.’ He states that people were healthier and had easier lives when they were hunter-gatherers before agriculture forced them to work harder and for the owners of the land. He speculates that people were likely happier in the 1700’s when they were surrounded by large families in groups of around 200, to whom they mattered, rather than being “isolated and alienated”—again, his words! But, he says, it happened and humans are malleable and survived.
In my video I broaden the horizon of possibilities, as Yuval does with his technotopia, to include a network of small, sovereign, interconnected communities. I show how their own rationale can be flipped to provide the tools we need to take back our lives.
From Dr. Joseph Mercola’s Another Layer of Scandal in the Opioid Corruption Revealed (now archived behind a paywall):
In a 2015 interview (video above), Yuval Noah Harari, a history professor and adviser to WEF founder Klaus Schwab, discussed what Schwab refers to as The Fourth Industrial Revolution (i.e., transhumanism), noting that we’re now learning to “produce bodies and minds” (meaning augmented bodies, and cloud and artificial intelligence-connected minds) and that one of the greatest challenges we face will be what to do with all the people that have become obsolete in the process.
How will unaugmented people find meaning in life when they’re basically “useless, meaningless”? How will they spend their time when there’s no work, no opportunity to move up in some kind of profession? His guess is that the answer will be “a combination of drugs and computer games.”
This raises a disturbing question. Was the opioid crisis the result of an intentional plan — a conspiracy in the literal sense of the word — to hook the masses on an addictive drug? This is purely speculative, of course, but it surely fits in with The Great Reset agenda as a whole.
If people are addicted, the drug and medical industries make money (and they’re without doubt part of The Great Reset network), and if people die, well, that’s in accordance with The Great Reset plan too, as they insist there are too many “useless eaters” on the planet, and they either must be managed or eliminated.
Here are my previous two videos on Yuval and the clues he provides:
Legal Shamans & Economic Witches: In Russell Brand's interview, Yuval looks at nations as spells cast by legal shaman. I answer that we need economic witches to take back the commons. I look at how nations prevent people from feeding themselves in India and profit from climate change at the COPs. Yuval states that nations make us care about the stranger but I find Israel negates that point. I imagine California breaking into 4 Swedens or 100 Icelands to be a manageable size for matrix government. Nuclear disaster, climate change, and runaway technology can all have small solutions more effective than the patriarchal pyramid of power.
Alien Nation : 'Connectualizes' Russell Brand's interviews of six atheists: Yuval, Yanis Varoufakis, Bret Weinstein, Heather Heying & Edward Snowden, with four theists: Iain McGilchrist, Alister McGrath, Ben Shapiro & Sadhguru. Looks at moral superiority as a more important dividing line than religion. Quotes Yuval in saying that money is the most successful story ever told, and Yanis that democracy is a fig leaf for oligarchy. Explains the 'truthish lies & legal fictions' of nations, corporations & money as stories that normalize both physical and economic violence.
Quite a few people view Harari as working on behalf of the World Economic Forum, promoting its agenda. I have watched videos of his WEF presentation and read his books. I have the distinct impression that he is warning AGAINST the intrusion of technology on our humanity and AGAINST a global world directed by a few at the top. For example, here are a couple of quotes from his book "21 Lessons for the 21st Century":
"If we want to prevent the concentration of all wealth and power in the hands of a small elite, the key is to regulate the ownership of data." (page 77).
"If we want to prevent a small elite from monopolizing such godlike powers [biometric sensors combined with AI], and if we want to prevent humankind from splitting into biological castes, the key question is: who owns the data?" (page 79).
[I apologize in advance for the length of this comment and for it being so untimely. Please feel free to treat my many questions as hypotheticals.]
When I first read Harari’s books “Sapiens” and “Homo Deus,” I was completely enthralled. At the time, I was on the verge of accepting trans-humanism as inevitable, and Harari really knew how to glorify our empire in unassailably logical if not magical terms. But after watching many of his online conversations and going over his books again, my mind slowly changed. And that was years before I even knew about his association with the WEF and Klaus Schwab. Now, this discussion with Kahneman is just the last straw. It’s going to sound like over-the-top hyperbole, but at this point I’m starting to wonder if Harari is a danger to humanity.
I’m an absolutist about free speech (and academic freedom), but what about speech in devoted service to empire? I’m not quite ready to think of Harari as a Goebbels working for Schwab, but I am increasingly feeling alarmed. In comparison with Russel Brand’s demonstrations of Christ-like acceptance (if not sincere love) of Harari, I suppose I should feel a bit ashamed. But I don’t.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but from what I’ve gathered about your personal philosophy, you tend to blame bad human behavior mainly on bad systems, and I agree with that…to a point: Poor slobs forced by a bad system to do contemptible things (mainly to other poor slobs) are forgivable (at least partially). But I don’t extend that forgiveness to those people who are the architects, leaders, and promoters of the bad system, especially when that system is imperial in scope and scale.
So, what if Harari is consensually serving as an imperial propagandist of the highest rank? What if he actually is nefarious? Can Russell-Brand-like trust in human goodness cause us to be so intellectually inclusive and forgiving as to make us self-destructively pacifistic and irresponsibly complacent?
