The two most recent essays trace how a philosophical idea from the 1600s became the operating system for global coordination — operating simultaneously through your wallet, your conscience, and your sense of who you are as a person.
This could be summed up in Harari's words: "Congratulations, you are now hackable animals." And we are nothing more than "Pavlov's dogs," responding only to internalized, undetectable injunctions, driven by a principle of integration (not being rejected, belonging to the group), through various means such as our habits, our upbringing, our culture, hyperconnectivity, submission to authority, learning by "mirror effect"... In short, we are conditioned, predictable, and malleable, following a collective script.
ESC, you've laid the groundwork for a discussion on a truly robust firewall. ^^
i've spoken of harari a fair bit, incl in 'Second-order Cybernetics' and 'A Digital World Order'. cannot be bothered writing specifically on him, because he's a symptom, not a cause.
Its pure evil, and the vast majority of humanity have no idea how badly they are being manipulated. Hopefully people wake before its too late. We knew the Catholic Church was infiltrated and corrupt back in the 90's when it became obvious they were protecting pedophiles. Yet people still belong to this group. Eventually there will be a reckoning, there always is.
Yeah I used to think so too. In 2020, I thought the mainstream would catch on.. but nope. And actually, I think they have regressed even more since then.
Thanks for a more concise version today. It's the first time I read the entire post without scrolling through. I agree with most everything you've said always, just much easier to consume in this post. Thanks again esc.
Off topic but any idea when your Delingpole interview will be available? Also you did an interview a while back which I missed - can't remember who you said interviewed you - is that available now? I listened to your Doc Malik and UK Column interviews and I would really like to listen to more.
Depends on YOU lol Stand up and be counted man, Raise yr head above the parapet, don't be a Jellyfish, Use yr backbone, It's not more than yr Jobsworth..! (Yes one word)

Planet earth, Mother Nature and Father Time will be jumping for joy when the last human has perished. No global theories are worth moose piss.
Are parents happy to lose their children? ^^
