Dear Yuval,I am being accused of uselessness. Just like that. With a few general strokes I am painted over. Now I love me a bit of bodypainting now and then —both ways— but here I draw the line. When being accused and convicted without trial, put on the list of the to be deported something stirs in me.
Haha, I was more referring to Yuval and friends as a whole....but when he starts a Ted Talk with the words; 70.000 years ago our ancestors were insignificant animals, and he ends that talk with: but now a new class of useless people is forming, then to me it is clear I have been listening to a new style of fascist. The kind that as a next step to the godlike state, will start suggesting ways to get there sooner. It always starts with a list.....
In the title of the talk there is one letter missing to make it a lot more accurate:
Why humans run the world...suggests a false truth, because we don't, why humans ruin the world, would at least be a better topic.
There is also a logic flaw: only a single homo deus would be able to run the planet as he sees it, every other form of shared government is only 4 percent effective, which sounds more like being run over. I think the natural world does that a lot better, without any form of governing based on imposing power. But so much now is so staggeringly left brain perspective it feels useless to even debate this....
Hahahaha. “Every list has a four percent rule.”Take that Yuval!

Which article or book are you referring to, Bertus? Something by Yuval Harari? I don’t follow his writing (or other utterances).

For me, I'd say Yuval would be one of the first to go on the 96 list ... useless... going, gone...
BuzzFeed could not handle this. ❤️
It’s 69.
