Yuval Noah Harari ve Daniel Kahneman Söyleşisi

In this 2015 interview, which I suspect is before Harari became the darling futuristic spokesperson for the WEF, the historian reveals what made him so appealing to a self-assessed Übermensch like Klaus Schwab. Mid interview, Harari exposes his concern that society must address the problem of what to do with the "unnecessary" or "useless" man on the future--the one who used to be a worker or soldier but in the future society no longer is or can be such, so he has become, though the very Hebrew Israeli Harari stops short of uttering the words, a "useless eater." Harari proposes to solve the problem with drugs and computer games; in later videos it is drugs and computer pornography. The elite need not be concerned with such matters because the future of medicine will be directed at giving them an approximation of eternal life and all the pleasures and activities that come with great wealth and unlimited resources.

Some effort from the viewer is required at times to ignore the unseemly flirtation of the interviewer, to which Harari responds with demurely interlaced and placed fingers.
