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

The Lear jet leftists expect to form the core of the global Inner Party. There they will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.

If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat - and air conditioning on a rationed basis.

The rest of us will eat insects and swelter — for the good of the planet.

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

And this is where leftist thinking goes in the end.
Many on the left who we might talk with, likely don’t overtly believe this, but the people they follow on Redit and TikTok believe this.
It’s as bad as Hitler or Pol Pot.

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

Maybe just 500 million, eh, Harari?

A replay of The French Revolution is the most likely outcome.

Chilling.

And telling.

“Now, fast forward to the early 21st century when we just don’t need the vast majority of the population,” he concluded, “because because the future is about developing more and more sophisticated technology, like artificial intelligence [and] bioengineering, Most people don’t contribute anything to that, except perhaps for their data, and whatever people are still doing which is useful, these technologies increasingly will make redundant and will make it possible to replace the people.”

For what purpose?

Most leftists used to posit policy decisions were made "for the common good", or "for the greatest good for the greatest number".

This educated fool is changing that to "the greatest good for the ruling class". Because, the ruling class will not need a large population for industrial power or to make war.

They are openly admitting the purpose behind the recent seemingly stupid moves by world leaders: Population reduction, genocide.

Will the World Economic Forum (WEF) pick who lives and who dies ? How will they get China and India to exterminate 1 Billion each of their citizens

So that’s why the WEF is trying so hard to start WWIII - reduce the population.

And yet their lives, the lives of the enlightened and privileged, are to be extended by technological means no matter the cost or how immoral the research to achieve it might be.

Massively expensive research is being done to enable neurological systems to interface with digital systems to enable data to flow both directions.

What is the point of such research?

What would it profit someone to live forever if the extended life was to be lived in greater isolation than Helen Keller?

The digital side of this research is clean and not really all that complicated.. the biological side is not something most would want to know about.

We are not far from the time when the technology for this will be developed and available, for a price. It presents, for some, a vexing problem of how to survive long enough to avail themselves of such technology.... managing to bridge this gap is where the immorality enters in...

It’s pretty clear that to this guy “we” means “me but not you.” But “need”? Need for what? If he means survival of the species then we’re doing pretty well at the moment inasmuch as the 2 billion that were supposed to drain the planet’s resources were exceeded before he was born. If he means a happy life for everybody that’s not counting the 95% of us who will be corpses in order for the “we” to attain it. If there’s some Greater Good operating here it certainly doesn’t seem to be greater and it certainly doesn’t seem to be very good.

Will the real Nazis please stand up? At least one just did.
No doubt he counts himself among those "smart people".

Is would be nice if those technological advances could liberate people from long, grueling hard labor, without sending the "common people" to extermination.

Many years ago C.S. Lewis wrote a response to a man who claimed he could be a “good person” without being religious. C.S. Lewis conceded he, the atheist, might have some decent notions about what is “good” but pointed out that, in the long run, his mindset would make him diverge drastically from “religious values.” He wrote that if a person did not value mankind as a creation of God, eternal and invaluable in its own right, then the godless would inevitably seek to preserve the most permanent creation they could see, which was civilization and its monuments. Hence decisions would always favor preserving cities, machines, sciences over the value of human life. It is idolatry at its peak.
