Tamás Fricz: Transhumanism and Homo sapiens

According to the vision of the chief adviser to the president of the World Economic Forum, the prophet of our time, in liberal neo-communism controlled by artificial intelligence, it will be possible for the first time to hack people and thereby manipulate them to an unprecedented extent. "Artificial intelligence will really turn us into Gods", work in the traditional sense will be redundant, we will not even have property and we will finally be freed from the past in this beautiful new world.

46-year-old Yuval Noah Harari, who is a lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is increasingly called "The Prophet". He is the author of several volumes, several of his books have been translated into Hungarian, and is at the top of the bestseller lists. He is incredibly starred, gives lectures all over the world, and is interviewed in the leading international press and media. If we here in Hungary don't really see this, it is a fact that he is currently one of the most popular historians and philosophers in the world, who is listened to and paid attention to by many people, and his influence on international public opinion is enormous.

But what does this man know, where does this huge success come from? My answer: nothing is accidental.

Harari is none other than the chief advisor of the president of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Klaus Schwab, who announced the Great Reset to the world. Do you know what the Great Reset is? In short: the announcement of world governance, in which a world society controlled mainly by technocrats of multinational companies and gigabanks is created, in which nations are permanently pushed into the background and property ceases. I myself would mostly call this a liberal neo-communism, in which "I will have no property, but I will be happy" - as the WEF proclaims the beautiful future.

I think this explains Harari's unheard-of popularity.

Great things like Bill Gates, Barack Obama or Mark Zuckerberg say beautiful things about his work and books, he is praised by Stanford and Harvard University, and almost the entire mainstream media, led by the New York Times, have praised him.

From now on, I will do nothing more than quote some of Harari's statements, so that we can get to know who is the hero and defining "prophet" of our time, thus the harbinger of the future.

Harari, like his boss, Klaus Schwab, talks about the fourth industrial revolution, and the essence of this is seen equally in the connection of humans and computers. In his book Homo Deus, Harari discusses in detail the creation of the transhumanist man of tomorrow (I would rather call him a robot man), who is manipulated in his genes, who carries nanorobots in his body, who is controlled by artificial intelligence (AI), who is bred in a laboratory and is not born by a mother. One of his comments on this: “Covid is critical because it is what convinces people to accept to legitimize their full biometric surveillance.”

This would be the transhumanism that Klaus Schwab has been talking about a lot lately. But let's quote Harari in this regard: "A new alien intelligence has invaded our lives, but not from a distant planet, but from the laboratories. Artificial Intelligence. And this is something new.

It is changing the world because, unlike any previous information technology, it is able to make independent decisions. He can analyze us. He can hack us. For the first time in history, it becomes possible to hack people and thereby manipulate them to an unprecedented degree. And we don't know how to deal with that." (I'm afraid someone will know.)

And does he say more nice things about the beautiful future - or the present? "Harari." He says, “You are a puppet. [The algorithm] can manipulate you; can affect you emotionally. For the past twenty years, the smartest people in the world and the best technology in the world have been working on the problem of how people can be hacked [this is his favorite word, "hacking" - FT] and controlled through screens, smartphones."

And what follows from this? His answer is not exactly reassuring: "This will be the last generation of Homo sapiens." So the XXI. In the 20th century, the intelligent person can go to bed, more advanced "transhuman" beings - i.e. robotic humans - will take our place. Long live! So far, we can still say that he is trying to face the 21st century in a frightening but somewhat realistic way. century future, however, it does not stop there. He has a strong opinion about what artificial intelligence means and where it can take us. From here we are already on marshy ground. Our hero makes interesting - or rather: intolerable and unacceptable - findings.

The next ones:

"Artificial intelligence is really turning us into Gods." This is the thought that exceeds my tolerance limit. The idea that man can take the place of God comes from the Enlightenment, the cult of reason, the conquest of nature, we thought we were over it, and lo and behold: here we are again with this idea in its full life size.

But Harari goes beyond this and goes into the Bible as well:

"If it succeeds and there is a very good chance, we will soon be beyond the God of the Bible."

But Christ cannot be left out of the equation: "We don't have to wait for the second coming of Christ to solve death. A couple of cubes can do it in a laboratory […] you can create completely inorganic life forms. This will be the latest revolution in biology.” The reporter asked at this point, "Are we still going to be human?" The answer: "Not in the sense that we understand societies today."

Harari's other "big" thought is that

artificial intelligence makes work in the traditional sense redundant, and thus the vast majority of people will simply not be needed.

In short, he put it this way in one place: "We don't need the vast majority of the population." He explained in more detail:

“The biggest question is what to do with these useless people. The problem is more boredom and what to do with them when they are worthless. My best guess is a combination of drugs and computer games.” “Most people will be economically useless and politically powerless. […] we are beginning to see a new class of people. The useless class.”

But Klaus Schwab, the WEF, and of course the entire global elite, who have been working on the creation of this beautiful new world for years now, will surely have an even more "advanced" idea to entertain or appease the useless class. For example, what the WEF reports in its propaganda materials, in which they say that they will take care of everything that useless people need, and even if they don't own and rent everything, their every wish will be fulfilled by Big Brother and delivered to their apartment by drones (for their rented apartment) meat-free, artificial foods (see the relevant part of the old Mézga Géza cartoon series), they don't even have to leave home.

Yuval Noah Harari's views earned him the opportunity to become Schwab's consultant and, as a result, to participate in the WEF's annual forum in 2020 and 2022. In 2020, for example, he talked about how to hack millions of people, all you need is their data. Hacking data means that we will know more about them - that is, about individual people - than they know about themselves. Bravo, I now understand why Mark Zuckerberg (also) congratulated Harari.

Finally, what I think is a very ugly argument from Harari, which he made on March 23, 2022 at the Bologna Book Fair, where he talked about his new series of books for teenagers, and stated that

wants to free the children from the past. "For me, the point of learning history is not to remember the past, but to get rid of the past, and as a historian I say that this is my main job, I try to free them from the past."

We've come to the bottom line: take away a person's past, and you've taken away their humanity. Without past consciousness, we truly become controllable, identityless robots. The circle is closed, this is pure communism, we know, the past must be erased. Klaus Schwab's bookshelf is also decorated with a statue of Lenin. Harari is a cunning fellow, because he pretends to enlighten, but in fact he influences, accepts and gets used to. Something the Schwabs talk about, if not everything honestly, because they obviously keep a lot of what they're planning from us.

Do they remember? Thirty-two years ago, there was a philosopher named Francis Fukuyama who became a star with his statement that the time of liberal democracy had arrived, and that history was over. He wasn't right. Now here is the new prophet who says: the time of transhumanism has come, the end of Homo sapiens. Man is finished. I'll tell you right now: he won't be right either.

You just have to do something about it so that it is not right.
