00:00:00.000 We've done a couple of shows already on this individual named Yuval Noah Harari,
00:00:04.760 a thinker, historian, majorly involved with the World Economic Forum. Most of his talks
00:00:09.680 come from there. He's been called one of the key advisors to Klaus Schwab, head of the World
00:00:15.060 Economic Forum. You've seen many popular personalities just guffaw over the guy,
00:00:22.180 like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, the most brilliant person on the planet, etc., 0.99
00:00:26.520 he spoke about useless eaters. And he's talking about useless human beings. He uses the term 1.00
00:00:35.020 himself, useless human beings. What he's talking about is about people who aren't able to... 0.98
00:00:42.700 Well, you know what? I'll get into that in this show. This is the John Henry Weston Show.
00:00:47.160 You're going to want to stay tuned.
00:00:56.520 Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father,
00:01:11.360 and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:01:15.880 Before we begin, let me tell you a couple of things. First of all, if you can hit the subscribe

00:01:47.040 which are starting now. Happy Easter, everyone. And as we continue to look at Yuval Noah Harari,
00:01:53.720 I think it's really fascinating. This is Yuval Noah Harari talking about useless human beings. Let's have a look. 0.97
00:02:00.920 In the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, what humanity basically learned to produce was all kinds
00:02:09.940 of stuff like textiles and shoes and weapons and vehicles. And this was enough for very few countries
00:02:18.060 that underwent the revolution fast enough to subjugate everybody else. What we're talking about now is like a
00:02:26.140 second industrial revolution, but the product this time will not be textiles or machines or vehicles or even
00:02:34.220 weapons. The product this time will be humans themselves. We are basically learning to produce bodies and minds.
00:02:41.980 Bodies and minds are going to be, I think, the two main products of the next wave of all these changes.
00:02:50.060 Okay, so let's stop right there. He's talking about producing bodies and minds. Now,
00:02:58.140 you have to remember this is coming in the context of products. So many people think, oh yeah, we're
00:03:05.160 already having, you know, people being born and maybe he's talking about a little bit of genetic editing
00:03:10.140 so that we have a better population born, people who aren't prone to diseases. No, no, no, no, no.
00:03:15.980 No, everybody, he knows that already. He's talking about a future whereby we're producing bodies,
00:03:22.720 producing minds. And when you produce something, you are then the owner of that thing. So you're talking
00:03:28.760 about a slave class. So this is already something super bizarre, but let's hear what else he has to say.
00:03:35.180 And if there is a gap between those that know to produce bodies and minds and those that do not,
00:03:42.360 then this is far greater than anything we saw before in history. And this time, if you're not part of the
00:03:49.160 revolution fast enough, then you probably become extinct. Once you know how to produce bodies and brains
00:03:56.100 and minds, so cheap labor in Africa or South Asia or wherever, it simply counts for nothing.
00:04:01.600 Okay. So a gap between those who have what for Yuval Noah Harari are the essential skills,
00:04:10.960 knowing how to produce these bodies and minds, and then those who don't. So for him, this is the
00:04:16.540 whole of the future. And check this out. He actually calls those who won't know how to do this technology
00:04:23.580 useless. Listen. Again, I think that the biggest question in maybe in economics and politics of
00:04:30.340 the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people. So there you heard him say 0.94
00:04:37.300 it for himself. Now, it's very interesting because he's picking right away on those countries in Africa
00:04:44.880 and Asia and Asia and so on. So this comes from a mindset, whereas, you know, he mentions too,
00:04:52.580 you had these large populations and this was good for the second industrial revolution. But for now,
00:04:59.840 in the third industrial revolution, but now this is not the case. It's useless people now and what to
00:05:07.720 do with them. Well, he's got some ideas. Let's listen up. 0.92
00:05:10.500 I don't think we have an economic model for that. My best guess, which is just a guess,
00:05:17.080 is that food will not be a problem. With that kind of technology, you will be able to produce food
00:05:24.960 to feed everybody. The problem is more boredom and what to do with them and how will they find some
00:05:32.480 sense of meaning in life when they are basically meaningless, worthless. My best guess at present
00:05:39.520 is a combination of drugs and computer games.
00:05:43.640 Okay. There's a very short clip, but it's hugely powerful because let's unpack what he said.
00:05:51.600 Boredom is the real problem. What are they going to do with themselves? What is the meaning in life?
00:05:58.240 These are useless people. So, wow. You have to remember where he's coming from. In the video I did 0.99
00:06:05.200 before about Yuval Noah Harari. Notice that he talks often about his homosexuality. He has a 0.99
00:06:11.320 homosexual partner and from there comes a lot of his ideas. He is very anti-Christ, anti-God. He talks 0.99
00:06:18.140 about, as we showed you clips in our first video on him, that he doesn't believe in God at all. In fact,
00:06:24.120 he calls it, you know, someone's made-up story and that there really is no God and the only intelligent
00:06:30.220 design is intelligent design of human beings. And so, really, man is God in his sort of vision of
00:06:38.180 things. But then, of course, there is these massively different classes. One sort of the divine human
00:06:43.840 being, I'm sure, of which he counts himself. And then this whole useless class that he's speaking 0.74
00:06:48.740 of now. So, finally comes his solution to alleviate the boredom, his solution to deal with these people.
00:06:57.600 Because, again, they will have food for them, but what are they going to do to alleviate their
00:07:02.160 boredom? Well, of course, if we recognize that man is a child of God, if we recognize that he has
00:07:08.560 intrinsic worth because he is a child of God, then the value of man is there in and of itself.
00:07:16.160 People are not bored when they're pursuing Almighty God. People can be living as hermits, 0.97
00:07:23.480 even, by themselves contemplating the greater reality, which is God, and learning about him.
00:07:30.160 To know, love, and serve God is the purpose of every human being on earth. But what about the
00:07:37.740 example of the useless class which predecessors to Yuval Noah Harari talked about? What about those
00:07:46.320 with brain injury or developmental disorder or so on who don't have the ability, then, to be able to
00:07:52.200 think and know themselves? Are they useless? Could we not just abort them anyways? Could we not just 0.99
00:07:56.680 help them to rid themselves of the misery of being alive by medically assisted aid in dying,
00:08:04.860 as they call it in Canada? Horrible things. Why would we never do that, though? Because they're useless
00:08:09.700 human beings, right? Wrong. Every person is made in the image and likeness of God. But what does it 1.00
00:08:16.920 mean for those people who are disabled in this way, mentally disabled? It still means that they are 0.98
00:08:22.960 made in the image and likeness of God. It still means that they have intrinsic worth because they
00:08:26.940 are children of God. But what does it mean for us? The saints have always explained it's a gift to us.
00:08:33.060 It's a gift to us to be able to serve them, because in serving them, what did Jesus say? He said,
00:08:40.240 whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me. In serving our brothers and sisters,
00:08:48.800 made in the image and likeness of God, who are impaired in various ways, we are serving Christ
00:08:55.380 himself because those are the least of his. And so we have an amazing opportunity to be able to serve
00:09:03.640 Christ in these little ones. That's exactly what Mother Teresa saw in helping the poor, the destitute,
00:09:09.720 the dying in India, when she picked them up from the sewers and cleaned off their feces and their smell 0.95
00:09:16.000 and their maggots on their bodies and gave them beautiful care. And she kissed their wounds and she 0.96
00:09:22.100 helped them, even though they were dying, because she saw in them Jesus Christ. This is what we have
00:09:31.260 as Christians. This is what we have, knowing our faith, knowing that there is a God, and knowing
00:09:37.080 that each and every human being is a child of God and has intrinsic worth. No, Mr. Harai, there are no
00:09:46.700 useless people, not even you, but we have to pray for your conversion, without which you will not enter 1.00
00:09:55.380 the kingdom of heaven, which I know you don't believe in, but is very, very real. It is the ultimate
00:10:01.240 purpose. That's why we're here. We're here for a very brief window of time, and you should know that
00:10:08.020 because you see human beings. I know you're hoping that we're going to be able to out, you do believe,
00:10:14.520 as you've said in videos yourself, you believe that we'll be able to extend our lives into perhaps
00:10:19.240 infinity, who only knows. But it's never going to happen. You're never going to be able to, as they
00:10:24.620 do in the Marvel comics, project your consciousness onto some computer somewhere and last indefinitely.
00:10:30.560 That's all nonsense. So, yes, Yuval Noah Harari talks about useless people who will be controlled by 0.62
00:10:40.280 what? By drugs and video games. It should give us an indication of what drugs and video games are all 0.97
00:10:47.840 about, and know to avoid them as completely useless. Not human beings, but drugs and video games.
00:10:54.820 For LifeSite News, this is John Henry Weston, and may God bless you.
