Yuval Noah Harari - Israeli intellectual and author - at the World Economic Forum stated:
“The most important thing to know about the future is that humans will soon be hackable animals, animals that can be hacked. There is a lot of talk these days about hacking computers and email accounts and smartphones and bank accounts, but we're actually entering the era in which it will be possible to hack human beings.”
Humans cannot be hacked the same way computers are hacked, but we can be manipulated, brain-washed, and mentally enslaved – this after all is what Social Media and big tech are seeking to do.
Harari went on to say “….You will not be able to hide from amazon, or from the secret police, or from coca-cola, as you surf the web or watch YouTube, or just walk down the street. The algorithms will be discreetly monitoring you and hacking you in the service of the government or a corporation or some organization. Maybe you still don't know that you're gay, but coca-cola already knows it, so next time they show you an advertisement they choose to use the version with the shirtless guy, and not the version with the girl in the bikini. And next day when you go to the shop you choose to buy coke and not pepsi and you don't even know why you think you did it from your free will.”
A very important subject. And what is the “yogic” perspective?
