RE: "Highly Recommended~ Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind - Yuval Noah Harari"

Harari's MISDIRECTING "Cognitive Revolution" (Homo Deus) PROPAGANDA notions on homo sapiens is meant to normalize the sick scheme of transhumanism (pushed by the ruling class of criminals) among the endlessly ignorant/foolish public.

"The book teaches readers to distrust myths, then builds its own myth-shaped narrative to carry them through 70,000 years." ---Davide Piffer, scientific researcher, on Harari's "Sapiens" book [https://archive.is/3XcqK]

Yuval Harari, affiliated with Schwab's WEF's [https://archive.md/vrZGf] and one of WEF's frontman psychopaths [https://www.bitchute.com/video/Alhj4UwNWp2m] and who is sold as an intellectual "genius" or "prophet" by this crazy world, is the person who called you and me and all other commoners “useless people” [https://archive.ph/KlOKx] --- while millions of those "useless people" have been buying and recommending his books like candy (to learn his "lessons"), serving him very usefully.

The SELECTIVE narrative Harari choses in his writings (STEERING and CONTROLLING what you should believe [https://www.bitchute.com/video/Alhj4UwNWp2m & https://www.corbettreport.com/harari]) to describe and categorize homo sapiens' “cognitive revolution” omits the key human elements (ie self-delusion, grandiosity, manipulation, deception, lunacy -- all of which shine thru for any lucid reader of his 'Sapiens' book and other works of his biased propaganda (that serves to normalize transhumanism and psychopathy, and that he himself engages in and manifests!).

Instead, manipulative Harari's self-serving focus has been for many years on humans' capacity to believe fictional stories and therefore can be controlled via narrative, fictional or not, as long as everyone believes the same story -- the official story, the authorized narrative, such on 9/11 or on Covid, etc. This interplay of human capacity to trust and follow "official" narratives AND the major controllers of these authorized narratives, ie the psychopathic authorities in power, is coherently explained at https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

Even just somewhat more coherent intellectuals as psychopathic Harari have also recognized Harari's ethics-empty "extremely dangerous" propaganda (while still naively, self-foolingly and falsely believing Harari is "brilliant") [https://archive.ph/zFwwH]. The production of such "persuasive" but extremely dangerous propaganda a la Harari is of course typical of psychopaths.

Anyone still not capable of seeing that Harari is an insane psychopath? Perhaps this will do it...

“From a biological perspective, nothing is unnatural. Whatever is possible is by definition also natural. A truly unnatural behavior, one that goes against the laws of nature, simply cannot exist, so it would need no prohibition.” --- Yuval Noah Harari, in a Tweet on August 24th, 2023 (https://archive.ph/pC6L2)

Author Walker Larson exposed “the horror” of that insane statement: “If something can be done, it is natural; whatever is natural shouldn’t be prohibited; therefore, anything that can be done should not be prohibited.” & “For people like Harari, everything is morally neutral because nothing has an objective purpose and everything is just another glob of molecules.” & “...all manner of malevolence and brutality becomes justifiable in the minds of the perpetrators—as 20th-century history has taught us.” & [Harari's sentences] if acted upon, are the harbingers of tyranny, terror, and torture.” (https://archive.ph/pjixD)

How can the masses get out of this whole mess? First, EVERYONE needs to learn, and teach others, what true morality is (it's NOT the same as religious morality): https://www.whatonearthishappening.com/news/988-mark-passio-interviewed-by-axel-dahi-2026-04-16

Book Review: Putin's People by Catherine Belton

Image
Putin's People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and Then Took on the West  - Catherine Belton Putin's People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and Then Took On the West by Catherine Belton | Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended Catherine Belton’s Putin’s People  is less a conventional political biography and more a forensic examination of how money, power, and state institutions fused to produce modern Russia under Vladimir Putin. For readers seeking to understand Putin not just as a man, but as a system, this book is essential reading—even if it leaves you uneasy about where responsibility truly lies.  Origins: Perestroika, Collapse, and the Intelligence State Belton begins the narrative in the early 1990s, just before the Soviet Union collapsed. Russia lagged far behind the West technologically, while Dresden - where Putin served as a KGB officer- had become a hub for smuggling and covert intelligence networks.  During Perestroika , KGB closely monitored the Soviet Union’s...

80s–90s : जब अनुशासन का दूसरा नाम था चप्पल, बेल्ट और मुरगा

Image
चेतावनी / सूचना:  यह कथा सत्य घटनाओं पर आधारित है। इसे गल्प मानना हमारे बचपन के अनुभवों का अपमान होगा। 80s–90s के भारतीय बचपन की एक सामूहिक स्मृति इतिहास कहता है कि पीछे मत देखो, लेकिन यादें कहाँ किसी की बंदिश सुनती हैं। वे अपनी मर्ज़ी से लौट आती हैं—कभी किसी पुरानी कॉपी की बुरी लिखावट में, कभी स्कूल के स्टील वाले स्केल की चमक में, कभी घर के दरवाज़े के पास पड़ी चप्पल में, और कभी पिताजी की उस नज़र में, जिसे देखकर आत्मा कांप जाती थी। हम उस पीढ़ी से आते हैं जहाँ बचपन केवल खेल, कॉमिक्स , VCR और गर्मियों की छुट्टियों का नाम नहीं था। वह अनुशासन, डर, शर्मिंदगी, बचाव-प्रयास और माँ की अंतिम अपील का भी नाम था। आज यह सब लिखते हुए हँसी आती है, लेकिन उस समय हँसी नहीं आती थी।  और सच कहूँ तो यह केवल मेरी कहानी नहीं है। 80s–90s के भारतीय बच्चों ने स्कूलों की मार, स्केल, बेंत, सार्वजनिक शर्मिंदगी और घर के डर को अपने बचपन का हिस्सा बताया है |उस दौर में काउंसलिंग नहीं थी, पॉजिटिव पेरेंटिंग नहीं थी, और "चाइल्ड साइकोलॉजी" तो शायद शब्दकोशों में ही मिलती थी। अनुशासन के अपने तरीके थे—घर के और स...

Kanpur Coaching Gurus

Image
Memories of coaching days at Kanpur are inseparable from me. I have done a separate post on Kanpur coaching mandi only. The most remembered image of my coaching days was the advertisement of Ankush Bhatia by Pran classes, and it was pasted on each wall of Kanpur. His photo was spread at distant corners of the city, showing All India Rank 51. Never seen any local marketing campaign like this. Sometimes, I recall the rush of students from one coaching center to another for seat capture, xerox copying of assignments, and 'out-of-course' study material. The JEE course was never completed on time in the Kanpur coaching mandi. At the end of March, the mad rush to complete the course began with various test series taking place simultaneously. I could not forget that pressure till now. I will never forgive Anish, Pankaj, and Vishnoi sir for combining their individual treats into 1 party for JEE-qualified students. For information on the pre-2000 AD days of coaching mandi, check this l...

कानपुर की बिजली कथा: केसा, कटिया और कुपित पिताजी

Image
90s के कानपुर की गर्मी का अपना अलग ही साउंडट्रैक था—दूर कहीं जनरेटर की घर्र-घर्र, गलियों में बच्चों की आवाज़ें, छतों पर बिछी चारपाइयाँ, हाथ से झलते पंखे, और अचानक पूरे मोहल्ले में उठती एक सामूहिक घोषणा -  “ बत्ती चली गई!” आज बिजली जाना एक असुविधा लगता है, लेकिन तब वह रोज़मर्रा की जिंदगी का हिस्सा था। जैसे शाम होगी, खाना बनेगा, मच्छर आएँगे—वैसे ही कभी न कभी बत्ती भी जाएगी। और बत्ती जाते ही घर का पूरा भूगोल बदल जाता था। पंखा रुकता, कूलर लोहे का डिब्बा बन जाता, ऑल आउट बेअसर हो जाता और फिर कछुआ छाप कॉइल या मच्छरदानी की बारी आती। 90s में बत्ती जाती थी तो मनोरंजन का आखिरी सहारा अक्सर रेडियो होता था । कभी विविध भारती, कभी क्रिकेट कमेंट्री, कभी समाचार, और कभी पुराने गाने| अगर रात में सुसू लग जाए, तो अँधेरे में टॉर्च ढूँढना, भूतों के डर से हनुमान चालीसा याद करते हुए बाथरूम तक जाना और वापस आना अपने आप में एक छोटी-सी एडवेंचर फिल्म जैसा लगता था। कानपुर की बारिश का अपना अलग ही स्वैग था। बादल घिरते ही हवा में मिट्टी की खुशबू फैल जाती, गली के लौंडे चिल्लाने लगते —“ अबे पानी बरसिहै !” लेकिन 90 के ...
