How very reminiscent Yuval Noah Harari is of Jacques Attali, the most hidden, bipartisan economist consulted by left and right in French Politics to the very top levels.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Attali

Attali has been widely misquoted for saying in the book "L’Avenir De La Vie" (the coming world): a fake disease will be very useful to help the idiots of society "self select" themselves for a vaccination that kills them. Turns out, the actual quote he used was:

QUOTE: "...as soon as a person gets to be older than sixty or sixty-five, and his productivity and profitability begin to slip, he costs society dearly..... Actually, from the viewpoint of the cost to society, it is much preferable that the human machine abruptly stop functioning than that it deteriorate very gradually." ENDQUOTE.

What is it about certain thinkers that leads to SUCH arrogance...? Hmmm.... Must be the same type of thinking that engages war after war after war for profit, perhaps.

All very dystopian. The chutzpah to talk about humanity like they were beads at a pawn shop!

Don't feel too bad about Twitter banning you. Hopefully it will drive others to leave on their own. I don't use Twitter. I don't understand why thinking people spend any time on it. Looking forward now to reading the full text of your postings here. Thank you for your work.

I call Harari Harakiri. I see His Holiness Harari, this secular Dalai Lama of Jerusalem, as a genius. What's more, the extraordinarily intelligent man made himself intellectually unassailable; after all, how dare anyone, today, contradict an Israeli-Jewish fragile-looking homosexually-married best-selling-author doctor of philosophy via Jesus College of Oxford?! One may be tempted to quote from Hölderlin's ADVOCATUS DIABOLI:

Deep in my heart I abhor the nexus of rulers and clerics,

Yet more deeply I loathe genius in league with that gang.

("Tief im Herzen haß ich den Troß der Despoten und Pfaffen

Aber noch mehr das Genie, macht es gemein sich damit.")
