HARARI — SAPIENS, A BRIEF HISTORY OF HUMANKIND — 2011
My first remark is that the book
starts the history of humanity at 70,000 years BCE. At this time all the
migrations out of Africa have taken place and were practically finished. That enables
the author NOT TO CONSIDER the at least 230,000 years of Homo Sapiens’s
emergence before this date 70,000 BCE, and this emergence took place in Africa
and ONLY Africa. This is from my point of view a grave and sinister shortcoming
that is practically racist, de facto segregative against Africans. The author
can then forget to tell us we are all originally black and in the book this
black exclusion is systematic. Later on, when he speaks of the agricultural
revolution, he rightly connects this agriculture with cereals, rice, wheat,
corn, and some other like rye, oats, etc. And here again, since this
agriculture that emerged in Africa too is not based on cereals (except in Egypt
which is not officially black) but on cassava which is a root, the African
continent is entirely ignored. This then becomes a bias, a choice, a desire, an
intention: ignore Africa.
YUVAL NOAH
HARARI — HOMO DEUS, A BRIEF HISTORY OF TOMORROW — 2015
This is the too long
presentation of the various ideological, technical, technological and
scientific theories and at times pure dystopias produced today by the
Internet-of-All-Things in the WEIRD world, meaning the new upgraded old WASP
(White Anglo Saxon Protestant) into Western Educated Industrialized Rich and
Democratic. he never questions these elements either in meaning or legitimacy.
Why Western and not Asian. What on earth is an education valid for the whole
“global village” (never attributed to its author, Marshall McLuhan) as he says
so often? Industrialized is not elaborated upon and no question about what
industry is, what it is for, what it produces, what makes the value of these
products, how these products can bring in the added value they carry, where
does this added value come from, and above all could there be any industrialized
world without producers and customers? He easily envisages the total
disappearance of human producers but what would the customers these producers
are, become if they were no longer producers? Could the economy of a country
work if all customers disappeared because of their not being producers at all?
And there will always be a good mind, like Ron Hubbard to say that useless
people have to be liquidated in a vast war against parasitical organisms.
