Harari: What Do We Do With The Useless Eaters?

Yuval Noah Harari: Once we know how to PRODUCE bodies and minds, what do we do with all the useless people?

[JohnDoe-jtlb]

I read his book Homo Deus. I thought he was insightful, now I realize he's a psychopath.

"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them drugs to take away their unhappiness." - Dr. Theodore J. Kacinsky

They cancel people for saying innocent things, but they are fine with the evil shit he spouts.

[karasteinberg]

Harari's the walking dead, and he wants to make the rest of us in his image.

[plokijun]

The spiritually dead can only find meaning in a set of physical functions they consider useful.

In all his intellectual quests, he must have missed one of the greatest writings, "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." It's always sad to see someone this far gone into their own nefarious and myopic vision of humanity. These types usually end up being what they wanted to destroy. Perhaps he can't imagine he may someday be a very old man who has trouble eating and needs help.

*Highly accurate, but I have specific knowledge on this issue. I'm a "disabled" army veteran. For years I played video games and watch TV and didn't have to do a single thing.... I STILL DON'T HAVE TOO.*
*There comes a time when YOU realize how much time has passed and how much you've wasted. You start striving to do something more with your life and eventually you walk away from it all and realized how mind numbing your life was before you woke up. Eventually you wake up and never want to go back to that place. Even though it was easy.*

A homosexual man talking about how people in the future will have no meaning in life.... hmmm...

[josephpasquarella]

Is this um, man, not a useless eater?

[atlanta]

There's a place deep in hell with his name on the seat. With a spike in the chair, just to make it complete. FU Harari, FU!

[ricardosantos]

I bet he counts himself and his buddies as some of the useful people.

[neoneherefrom]

Throw in the anime weebs and that’s the present in a nutshell.

[onelegkahn]

Yuval thinks he will be useful to advanced AI.

[abbi]

Guys don't focus on him, focus on the future, whether we like it or not it's the current path we are heading in

[MrVanillaCaramel]

He said useless people not useless eaters.

Does someone have the full video link from where this is taken, I think its important that we have that

[volgantifriebus]

We are succeeding in this opiate addiction and video game raised unsociable human beings are becoming increasingly popular media will do their part

[unfried_]

Is there maybe a (original full video) link I could find outside of Youtube, in case this gets removed? Thanks if you have

[sylviamoller]

He Just observes what has already happened, is happening right now… and all you need is a Bit of Common Sense ( which sadly is not at all common) to predict the future. This is simply what he does. We may not like his prediction- it is not his fault. Don’t shoot the messenger

[rocketman]

Not a task assigned to him.
If he wants the job of making life meaningful to people he first must get their agreement to appoint him to attempt the task.
If not, he'll have to try applying his solutions through deception and force.
The time at which he injures or kills a person illegally is the time he needs to face a jury and be the subject of the peoples judgement.
