To mark the occasion of his new best selling airport book, we take a deeper look at Yuval Noah Harari\u2019s impoverished thought and intellectual style via a great review essay by Daniel Immerwahr. We see how Harari\u2019s doomsday scenarios are based on an extreme form of technological determinism + a romanticized humanism-as-critique + a disinterest in material analysis of political economy + an ironically chatbot-esque style of intellectualism. \n\n\u2022\u2022\u2022 Yuval Noah Harari\u2019s Apocalyptic Vision https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/10/yuval-noah-harari-nexus-book/679572/ \n\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \n\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.x.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).
