I've read three of Harari's books, Homo Deus, Sapiens, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. I finished 21 Lessons right about the time COVID made its appearance into our daily lives.

As discussion of digital IDs, digital currency, vaccine passports, and novel vaccine technology became a daily thing, it was clear where Harari stood in all of this. While I am impressed with the breadth of Harari's knowledge, his abilities as a writer, and his academic credentials, your "technofascist futurist" characterization is right on the money.

In summary, his vision of humanity's future is frightening.

Dr. Zelenko made an interesting point about him: he believes he hates himself bc he is a Jew that can't go to heaven due to his sexual orientation and as such wants to take everyone out with him.

I like that analysis on some weird level. Why is this fucked up individual (based on his world view, not sexuality or being a Jew) having such sway in our collective future?

bc he is pushing the WEF agenda, not as function of quality of his ideas, which are totally hackneyed at this point.

this sounds bad enough but it's possible it's even worse than that, Harari could be a Tikkun Olam guy.

a true believer (and it seems to me he's one of those) and in a position of power can do all sorts of ugly things.
