WEF Adviser Yuval Harari: ‘We Just Don’t Need the Vast Majority of the Population’ in Today’s World

Yuval Noah Harari, historian, futurist, and World Economic Forum (WEF) adviser, said, “We just don’t need the vast majority of the population” in the early 21st century given modern technologies’ rendering human labor economically and militarily “redundant.”

Harari’s remarks were made in an interview with Chris Anderson, the head of TED, published on Tuesday. He assessed widespread contemporary disillusionment among “common people” as being rooted in a fear of being “left behind” in a future run by “smart people.” Such fears are justified, he added, given his projection that emerging technologies will displace economic needs to many categories of existing work:

A lot of people sense that they are being left behind and left out of the story, even if their material conditions are still relatively good. In the 20th century, what was common to all the stories — the liberal, the fascist, the communist — is that the big heroes of the story were the common people, not necessarily all people, but if you lived, say, in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, life was very grim, but when you looked at the propaganda posters on the walls that depicted the glorious future, you were there. You looked at the posters which showed steel workers and farmers in heroic poses, and it was obvious that this is the future.

Now, when people look at the posters on the walls, or listen to TED talks, they hear a lot of these these big ideas and big words about machine learning and genetic engineering and blockchain and globalization, and they are not there. They are no longer part of the story of the future, and I think that — again, this is a hypothesis — if I try to understand and to connect to the deep resentment of people, in

In the part of Texas I came from, walking around talking about how someone needed to die was a good way to get your own lamp blowed out.

I can think of one historian, futurist, and World Economic Forum (WEF) adviser “we” can do without. It’s a start.

The 20/80 society is a concept that has been discussed by Hans-Peter Martin in his book: "The Global Trap",[1][2] that was published after he visited the convention that took place in 1995 at the Fairmont San Francisco, which was sponsored by the Gorbachev Foundation.[3][4]

He was one of three invited journalists at this conference where he overheard global business leaders discussing how much, or less workforce they actually need to keep their companies going.

The book is known for defining a possible "20/80 society". In this envisaged society of the 21st century, 20 percent of the working age population will be enough to keep the world economy going. The other 80 percent live on some form of welfare (while not explicitly mentioned, likely Universal Basic Income) and are entertained with "tittytainment", a term uttered by Zbigniew Brzezinski, which aims at keeping the 80 percent of frustrated citizens happy with a mixture of deafeningly predictable, lowest common denominator entertainment for the soul in addition to nourishment for the body.[5]

Veggies, bugs, games, virtual reality and streaming.

20/80 - kill enough people and it could be 20/30 aka Agenda 2030 which would be much more manageable.

“We just don’t need the vast majority of the population”

Well, a$$hole, we certainly don't need useless bureaucrats like you! How 'bout you all just leave first. I'm quite sure the rest of us can muddle through without you.

Exactly, you go first and set the example for the rest of us, do it live on all Media, read your manifesto then do it. I will be watching Maverick reruns, but you go right ahead.

Evacuate the planet? After you Harari. Your carbon footprint is bigger than mine, so you need to do the honorable thing ASAP!

So let’s stand Yuval against a wall and he can be the first example.

Ah yes: the future belongs to purple haired cubicle rats who chase pixels for a living, eat tofu and don’t know what sex they are.

“World Economic Forum (WEF) is a Cult”

It is about time for them to do the decent thing—and drink the Kool-Aid in a televised ceremony.

Gaia will thank them.

If they do a mass suicide we guarantee to build statues to honor them—promise!

(not our fault if Antifa tears down the statues later :-) )

That's rather the point of Biden's policies.

Create a fuel shortage.

Food shortages will naturally follow...(exacerbated by direct attacks on food production).

Fight for survival will follow.

The rest of the world will crash if America falls.

Alrighty then, you and your WEF butt buddies go first. Step up to the plate and show us how it’s done.
