This may sound stoooooopid, but ever since I picked up malware about 6 months ago (hell to get rid of it), I’m extremely reluctant to click on any link that I’m not familiar with. Can you elaborate? Is it Alexa-related?

Not important and I understand. Funny clip, maybe?

Got in my inbox - looks good!

The False Prophet Crashes and Burns
For a guy who thinks he’s so smart, Yuval Harari is a bozo

LARRY SCHWEIKART

Today the False Prophet of the Apocalypse is already among us. At least, the World Economic Forum says he’s the “prophet,” and since he’s entirely wrong, he is indeed the False Prophet. No wonder Bill Gates likes him. His name is Noah Yuval Harari.

In his book Sapiens, Harari does as good a job as any in showing why evolution is wrong, and he, in particular, ain’t so bright.

Trying to argue that there is no justice in history, Harari says of the Great Declaration

“Despite its proclamation of the equality o f all men, the imagined order established by the Americans in 1776 also established a hierarchy., [All orders do, even the imagined evolutionary order]. It created a hierarchy between men, who benefited from it, and women, whom it left disempowered. It created a hierarchy between whites, who enjoyed liberty, and blacks and Indians, who were considered humans of a lesser type and therefore did not share in the equal rights of men. Many of those who signed teh Declaration of Independence were slaveholders. They did not release their slaves upon signing . . . .[because] In their view, the rights of men had little to do with Negroes.”

This from a guy who just spent the previous 130 pages telling everybody that men themselves were subhumans who just happened to outlast Neathderthals and other “sapien” like creatures.
