WEF - WE NEED TO GET RID OF ‘USELESS PEOPLE’
Yuval Noah Harari suggested a state redistribution of wealth on a global scale as a possible solution for economically "outdated" people.
The World Economic Forum's (WEF) top advisor Yuval Noah Harari recently declared that technological advances mean the world no longer needs the "vast majority" of its current population.
Harari made this bold declaration in an interview with Chris Anderson, head of the popular TED media group, echoing earlier predictions of a "useless class" of "unemployable" people, as LifeSiteNews reports.
In a departure from the 20th century, when the "great heroes" of the prevailing narratives of political systems were always "the common people," people in the 21st century have become "useless." Instead, Harari said, they have been replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) and displaced by a high-tech economy.
The author and lecturer posed the "hypothesis" to Anderson that fear of displacement in the future economy by AI and a highly skilled "tech" class is partly the cause of the "disillusionment and backlash against the liberal order" in the world.
"Part of what's going on is that people are realizing - and they're right to think, 'The future doesn't need me.' ... Maybe, if they're nice, they'll throw me some crumbs, like a universal basic income.' But it's psychologically much worse to feel like you're useless than to feel like you're being exploited," Harari said.
"Fast forward now to the early 21st century, where we simply don't need the vast majority of the population anymore," Harari continued, "because the future is to develop ever more sophisticated technologies, like artificial intelligence [and] bioengineering."
Harari added that "these technologies will increasingly make everything that humans still do that is useful obsolete," thus making it "possible to replace humans."
