As more I listen to Yuval Noah Harari, the more I am confident I wrote an illuminating book titled Digitalism vs. Capitalism. The Son of the Trinity Mr. Harari is a very good storyteller, but all he is doing is telling stories, mostly distorted, equal to Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio. All his books are full of “intersubjective reality” stories.
He does not know and mention about Herold Innis!
He does not know and mention about Marshall McLuhan!
He does not know and mention about George Gerbner!
He does not know and mention about Theodore Adorno!
He does not know and mention about Martin Bernal!
He does not know and mention about Jack Goody!
He does not know and mention about Arif Dirlik!
If he knew them, then he is plagiarizing from them all!
If he knew them, then he must have cited them properly, not twisted and upside
down.
He uses and distorts these scholars' conceptual analyses. He does not use any
causality in his narratives. All of these scholars and many more have an
independent variable to explain the social humanity.
The Son of the Trinity Mr. Harari does not have a cause-and-effect
relationship in his stories. Just a little example from his writings:
He claims that “information technology,” starting from newspapers, then radio,
and television, is the only thing that can sustain democracy among large
numbers of people. He asserts that the information technology has been created
by the people to have a large scale of democracy.
This implies that he is unaware of why James Madison penned the
1st Amendment or how Publius penned the Federalist
Papers.
