Are we the last generation of free-will homo sapiens? Meet Yuval Noah Harari, a professor in the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His books have sold over 35 million copies in 65 languages, and some people consider him one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals today. Prof. Yuval Noah Harari has a Ph.D. in History from the University of Oxford and lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in world history. He is an atheist and very popular among the intelligentsia. His writings take the reader on a wild ride through history and explain how humanity is at the forefront of significant biological and political change. What kind of change? Nothing less than the transformation of all of humanity. According to Harari, we enter a world devoid of free will as the system attempts to control our thoughts.
In my blog post #81, METAVERSE and TRANSHUMANISM, I discuss the Metaverse. The Metaverse is a collection of virtual shared spaces on the Internet. In the Metaverse, you will be able to talk to unicorns and have coffee with dead relatives. On October 28, 2021, Facebook officially changed its corporate name to “Meta” to reflect its broader ambitions. In this virtual world, cyber companies will teach children the spiritual beliefs of the establishment. We are on the cusp of a spiritual revolution where technology is the religion. In my blog post #67, WHAT IS TRANSHUMANISM?, I begin with this statement: A few years ago, parents were shocked when their son or daughter announced that they were gay or transgender—now, some young people want to exist as data. Transhumanism is a cultural and intellectual movement that believes we can, and should, improve the human condition through the use of advanced technologies.
Yuval Noah Harari explains how technology will soon understand us more than we know ourselves. In a video, he talks about the power behind human data and how humanity as we know it may be a thing of the past. He starts his speech by saying, “we are probably the last generation of homo sapiens.” In the coming generations, science will engineer people’s thoughts and actions. The people who control data will control civilization by hacking humans. By controlling inputs, the masters of the universe will control events. In this brave new world, intelligent design replaces natural selection. This transformation will bring humans from the organic realm into the inorganic realm where free will plays no part. The hive will replace freedom of thought. In regular times people will tend to resist change, but in a crisis, such as a pandemic, people will accept authority even to losing their freedom. The coronavirus pandemic ushered in a period where a new surveillance regime began to dominate human existence. The goal is to replace God’s design with human design.
