YUVAL NOAH HARARI: The Academic God of the 21st Century





I was so excited that the new released book of Mr. Harari is available already in our favorite bookstore Asia Book. The book is published 2018 under Penguin UK and it is now available in any bookstores in the International market.  In terms of my thesis, I address Yuval as an academic God not as a sarcasm or to humor my reader but to show how academic experts and knowledge will address the political problems of the future of humanity.  Yuval’s expertise in civilization related to economics and politics will reveal the holistic academic opinions based from his concrete data evidences used in the text. From the brief highlights of his first and second book Sapiens & Homo Deus, it shows to the academic readers the emphatic flow of how humans improve in their civilization and governance related to politics, business, and specifically economics.  In the book Sapiens Yuval conveys how humans survive in cognitive revolution that the history of such is still vague knowing that the data during that time still lacks concrete evidences.  The pulp fiction of the story of the “Flood” I should say, will give a hypothetical question to the modern day scientist and any academic researcher.  


But during the time of the Agricultural Revolution men started to create farms to double or triple their produce for the ever increasing population.  In my previous blog article the Empire’s Gluttony (http://ryansinnovativeideas.blogspot.com/2018/08/empires-gluttony.html) I emphasize how Agricultural Revolution made the earth population feel comfortable in their homes by not to hunt their everyday food outside the jungle.  Farming created the business of food that during the time of the Egyptians huge storage for food was created to sustain their civilization of a longer period of time.  Technology later and until today sude the modern technic to preserve the food to a more longer shelf life.  Thus, sugar, salt, & fat are the leading requirements of food preservation ingredients.  At the last part of the book “Sapiens” Yuval emphasized the importance of human’s intellect as part of the power for humans to survive.  Man has the capacity to think and use logic and reason to outlast other species in the planet.  Yuval noted that mankind can be Gods in a sense that being God is more powerful creature compaired to other beings in the planet.

THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE AND THINKING rules the world when mankind embraced the ENLIGHTENMENT.  During the era of SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION when humans are bored to believe in “WITCH CRAFT” and “FAITH HEALING” many monks during the DARK AGES (http://ryansinnovativeideas.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-renaissance-and-scientific-religion.html) instead of closing their minds in the beliefs that  can’t cure the civil ailment like famine, sickness, and war they try to explore more of the cosmos interaction to embrace the physical nature of the outer universe.  During the time of the SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION many crisis and civil instability around the world are started to be solved through scientific observation and case analysis with a concrete scientific conclusion.  Because of the power of humans to be like Gods as wht Yuval mentioned in the last part of his book “Sapiens”, the second book tells its reading about the brief history of tomorrow that humans in the near future can be “Homo Deus”.  With the power for humans to think and analyze any problem and process with the use of reason and logic, men can be Gods.   The book “Homo Deus” relates more of maximizing the full power potential of humans which is the “POWER OF KNOWLEDGE” of you humans to analyze dilemmas and the fundamental problems of  society.  But the set back of all of these powers is HOW HUMANS SEE THE GOODNESS FOR EVERYONE.  

When religion was tested as the benchmark for moral standards for humanity many are desatisfied knowing that religious beliefs are so diverse that it created more bloodsheed during the time of the Christendom. After religion we have the many philosophical concepts of ideologies that came out of the public for every nation to follow.  Political ideologies are like commercial product that you can buy and follow the political machinery that sometimes it is not  fitted to a given nation’s culture and habitat.  Like religion, Idiologies like communism, capitalism, totalitarianism and the like still made the world populace more confused and eager to create and start a war.  Thus, the war in world war 2 clearly defines THE WAR OF IDEOLOGIES. Capitalism and communism at that time thought that their theories of running the earth can achieve the utopia of life for the humans to  survive civilization. Moreover, during the cold war the continued rivalry of the many ideologies made the world to a point of shock when both Soviet and United States are capable of their nuclear arsenal.  THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH to be used as the testing place for the power of the HOMO DEUS (the humans). The UNCONTROLED POWER OF HUMANS started to kill its own species.  Relatively, we can physically see that the cravings of humans for the raw materials from its habitats is starting to experience scarcity.

Man started to explore the galaxy and send man to the moon.  In fact, during the scientific exploration of US and mankind to land on the moon gave a huge controversy not only to the scientific world but also the general media news that it is not the americans who first step foot on the moon but the Russians.  The EGOs OF IDEOLOGIES still continue outside the universe.  Thus, Russian space exploration gained publicity to the world that even if you use google space you can see the borderlines of the Russia and United States in the moon and other planets.  The spirit of Columbus still continue until the human ego still in the hearts of every human and the population of the world is far more richer compared to its ailing natural resources.  To give a concrete example of the equation of humans and natural resource, by using the power of knowledge humans is now able to expand the value of the natural resources to the advance scientific products that we enjoy in our public markets today.  Many products today are not 100% natural but rather synthesized with other chemicals that are much affordable in prize to achieve a higher number of output.  Thus, Homo Sapiens loses control of its power.  

The universal problem of nuclear weapons, religious egos that every religion thought that they are right, ideology egos that until today capitalism and communism is still showing their effectivness to WORLD ORDER will all fail that humanity will end up in a great chaos and DISORDER.  What about the dream of Henry Kissinger about the WORLD ORDER.  Can we still achieve the WORLD ORDER or we will be eradicated by our own human ego and HOMO DEUS power.  Remember because of our power to think and to pursue our religious beliefs and ideology backgrounds the power of the HOMO DEUS from a simple HOMO SAPIENS will explode double the power and triple the casualties.  The casualties that we are talking about are not only the victims of 9/11 and the war in Iraq and Afghanistan but also the people under the natural calamities that humans are experiencing everywhere around the world.  But still super power countries like England, China, and United States are still finding ways how to gather more resources to achieve the utmost power the mankind can ever imagine.  Fundamentally, these three great powers not to mention India is also a rising power, are all doubling their budget for the infrustructure for their SEA POWER or their NAVAL POWER.  To dominate the seas is the fundamental power struggle during the time of the conquestador until today in China Sea.  Mind you, if China Sea and the Indian Ocean will be in great conflict because of the oil resources then the frail international political relations will crumble in front of every human being in the planet.  All because of RELIGIOUS EGO & IDEOLOGY EGO.

Since humans has the capicity to think like Gods, the 3rd book of Yuval portrays the future of humanity and its excestence from 21st century onwards.  Still the dream of Henry Kissenger in terms of WORLD ORDER is still the dream of humanity that humans has no choice but to find the formulation and exact mathematical function of the so called WORLD ORDER. Since humanity has the uncontrollable power of the HOMO DEUS, Yuval discussed in his new book the “21 LESSONS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY” the ways and means HOW TO CONTROL THE HOMO DEUS POWER OF HUMANS.  Since humans at present are starting to integrate with machines and AI biotechnology is the future of humanity that by then HUMANITY MUST BE CONTROLLED ACCORDING TO THEIR HOMO DEUS POWERS. Biotech and infotech are the main ingredients of the WORLD ORDER that is being formulated by mankind today.  Sounds funny though, but what Yuval mentioned in his book  “21 LESSONS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY” that FACEBOOK is one of the new world order knowing that the power of the HOMO DEUS are now connected in the internet and AI in the near future WORLD ORDER can be controlled through the power of AI.  From religion, Idiology, and now AI.  Thus, we can conclude that indeed the future is with science.  The novel of Dan Brown “The Origin” will now reveal in the non-fiction book of Yuval “21 LESSONS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY” that science and AI will be the next formulation of NEW WORLD ORDER. When can we achieve the DREAM OF WORLD ORDER of Henry Kissenger? Is this WORLD ORDER always a dream for humanity?  Can AI and technology integration of humans achieve the next stage of WORLD ORDER?
