The so-called "intellectuals" loved the ideas of Yuval Harari's, the WEF adviser, professor in philosophy and historian from Israel.
And many of them probably like his ideas about "human gods" - homo deus, and hoped that they could become part of this elite group of people.
They swallowed his presentation of the human race as narrative builders (that we love the concept of shared myths and that it's this that separates us from other species), and of the history of our civilization (where he don't make any attempt at explaining the enormous dfference between monetary freedom and monetary monopoly) and his ideas about economics (including that it's not enough resources for everyone, and that a two-class system therefore is both natural and necessary).
This messed up many people's belief systems, and I think it hampered their ability to think critically and logically.
Even many bitcoiners still admire Harari's writings.
So I thought, this is so wrong, and why hasn't Harari been seriously challenged?
His stuff if IMO just some New Age deconstructionist shit on steroids, and even smart people seem to fall for it.
In the end this led me to write a little book that we called UNBAR. I did it, because it's necessary that we rebel up and try to win the battle of the ideas.
I think my headline would have to include something with the battle of ideas, and possible the key concept of rediscovering the cost of freedom.
