  1. RE "'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari"

    Harari, affiliated with Schwab's WEF's [https://archive.md/vrZGf] and one of WEF's frontman psychopaths [https://www.bitchute.com/video/Alhj4UwNWp2m] and who is sold as an intellectual "genius" or "prophet" by this crazy world, is the person who called you and me and all other commoners “useless people” [https://archive.ph/KlOKx].

    Harari's MISDIRECTING "Cognitive Revolution" (Homo Deus) propaganda notions on homo sapiens is meant to normalize the sick scheme of transhumanism among the endlessly ignorant/foolish public.

    The SELECTIVE narrative Harari choses in his writings (STEERING and CONTROLLING what you should believe [https://www.bitchute.com/video/Alhj4UwNWp2m & https://www.corbettreport.com/harari]) to describe and categorize homo sapiens' “cognitive revolution” omits the key human elements (ie self-delusion, grandiosity, manipulation, deception, lunacy -- all of which shine thru for any lucid reader of his 'Sapiens' book and other works of his biased propaganda (that serves to normalize transhumanism and psychopathy), and that he himself engages in and manifests!) that has led humans to be largely destructive and therefore not being wise (sapiens) at all.

    Instead, manipulative Harari's self-serving focus has been for many years on humans' capacity to believe fictional stories and therefore can be controlled via narrative, fictional or not, as long as everyone believes the same story -- the official story, the authorized narrative, such on 9/11 or on Covid, etc. This interplay of human capacity to trust and follow "official" narratives AND the major controllers of these authorized narratives, ie the psychopathic authorities in power, is coherently explained by the reality-based theory of “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room” (see https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html) that curates the human condition and the crazy world we always have lived in.

    “COVID is critical because this is what convinces people to accept, to legitimize, total biometric surveillance.” --- Yuval Noah Harari, WEF Forum member [https://archive.md/vrZGf]
