A Study on the Abolition of Man<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By Cynthia Chung<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018 Yuval Harari delivered a presentation to the World Economic Forum titled “Will the Future Be Human?” In his presentation, Harari seemed to be confirming our very worst fears of a dystopic future right out of a sci-fi movie. That we risked annihilating ourselves if we continued down the path we were already on as we progressed into an age of advanced technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These stark predictions by Harari were received almost as if he were a prophet, his visions of the future he was certain would come about, but he was unclear as to any detail concerning such a future, when it would come about, how it would come about and most importantly exactly how do we avoid such a fate? When Harari was questioned after his presentation and in another Q&A session at the same WEF meeting, all Harari could repeat was his own algorithm for a very general doomsday prophecy. To all other questions that pertained to specifics or mechanics of how such a dystopic future would play out, he would answer that he did not know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This should strike any thinker as problematic. That is, are we supposed to listen to Harari as if he were a scholar or a prophet? If we are to take Harari as a scholar, that has developed insight into the subjects he discusses from the studies he has made,  then it is a problem that he cannot discuss such specifics but rather entirely avoids them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, as we break down Harari’s own algorithms that he uses to form his vision for such a dystopic future, we see them riddled with personal assumptions, judgements and conclusions masked as objective algorithms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Note: For those who may not be aware an algorithm is a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before we look at some of these biological algorithms of Harari, which have purported his theory that humans are hackable, we should quickly review how such a mathematical and evolutionary viewpoint came to be accepted in the first place, within academia, in defining human nature and the universe we live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
