prophet or not Yuval Noah Harari
Yuval Noah Harari is not a great prophet, as some on the Left would attest. His ideas about data and dataism are nothing new. His basic concept that tomatoes, humans, or fish, are method of data processing is a slippery version of atomism. We must remember the basic laws of physics as it applies here. That is the principle that when something is measured it is then changed = the uncertainty principle. The other thing to keep in mind is that things are always in flux, the universe (or multiverse) is change, and everything changes, even change itself. When one attributes a position or nature of something, then the realization that change is happening. Yuval, your data is not in some packet (atomism), but rather is changing. Someone enlighten me on where I may not understand Harari. I will accept any criticism. I will even entertain a defense of Harari’s doctrine.
