The 'Guru' Of The WEF:

Yuval Harari — The WEF Guru

BOOM Finance and Economics

YUVAL HARARI — A WEF GURU:  Yuval Harari is a “guru” of the World Economic Forum — the WEF — the group of transhumanist, corporate technocrats who meet in Davos Switzerland each year to decide what direction the world should take in regard to whatever matter they choose to discuss.

They believe that corporations and their selected leaders should rule the world rather than elected representatives of the people. They clearly wish to bypass sovereign, national governments, both democratic and communist. The gathering is led by the mysterious Klaus Schwab and many billionaires are invited to fly in on their private jets. Workers are not invited.

Harari is becoming influential and is listened to by many people anxious for thought leadership. Thus, it is important for BOOM readers to carefully consider what he is saying.

He is especially known as a promoter of “inorganic life” which seems to mean robots or the robotization of humans. That is transhumanism — the merging of humans and machines, guided by the philosophy that humans themselves are nothing but machines, some being “useful” and others “useless eaters”.

Three months ago, in early August, he gave an interview which is available on YouTube and is titled “Yuval Noah Harari Reveals the Real Dangers Ahead: The TED Interview”.

In the interview, Harari warns the world of what may be coming and starts by referring to the plural “We” whereby he represents himself as the (unelected) spokesman for the entire human race. That is hubris writ large at the very outset of his many explanations.

Harari’s views appear to reflect a world view that is heavily US-centric. For example, he says “when people in the US feel miserable, the entire world shakes”. Again, a deeply simplistic view of a world that contains 8 Billion people. In fact, he says that most of those 8 Billion people are “no longer part of the story of the future” because they don’t listen to the big ideas of “smart people who are planning an amazing future” to be found in listening to TED talks.

He then says “We just don’t need the vast majority of the population” (presumably because they are not listening to the “smart people” on TED talks) “because the future is about developing more and more sophisticated technology“. “This technology will make it possible to replace the people“.

Indeed, “hacking humans” seems to excite him greatly, saying that “it will be worth Trillions and Trillions of Dollars …. not just Billions”. He defines this as “understanding human beings better than they can understand themselves” so that “their choices can be predicted better than they can predict and allowing them to be manipulated in their emotions. Being able to make decisions for them.”

Harari then moves on to discuss “so what’s new?” and he answers that question by stating “the borderline is now the skin”. He says “the future is about going under your skin and looking directly at what is happening in your brain“.“This can be done by invading your body with electrodes” or by using clever external technologies to observe you more closely such as very clever cameras.
