Thank you for this review, still curious about what else there is to consider regarding this topic. Maybe democracy need to engage in and decide what content the algorithms pick up as worth spreading. Isnt the "threads" social media platform one such attempt to alter its algorithm to get a more friendly and respectful experience of interacting with?
Most people won't ever read Hararis books. I'd guess about 96% of the ones that do won't truly understand his super creative thoughts. You might be part of the 4% that do comprehend his powerful mind
I would point to the left wing critiques of harrari are out there as well. It's just hard to notice them above the din of people who think he is the devil incarnate. I also think that much of the criticism of him from academic comes from a very snobbish attitude towards "popular" writers from their field. I've been a fan of harrari before sapiens and have followed his trajectory pretty carefully.
Amazing comments. Very reasonable, thanks!

Even though most people don't read books, it's amazing how often he's called "Antichrist" online.
