Robert Malone on yuval-harari: what the evidence says · JRE #2454
SUBJECT: YUVAL-HARARI
The short answer
Malone claims Yuval Noah Harari believes and has said that humanity no longer needs God because humans have become gods. Robert Malone attributed to historian Yuval Noah Harari the verbatim claim that humanity 'no longer need[s] God' because 'man is God now.' Harari's actual published argument, developed most fully in his 2016 book Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, is that advances in biotechnology, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence are giving humans increasing god-like technical capability, such as pursuing radically extended lifespans and control over biological processes, framed as humans becoming 'self-made gods' through capability rather than as a personal theological assertion that God does not exist or is unneeded.
Not a true/false call. Every claim is logged with its sources; read the exhibits below.
We have these individuals, I mentioned Yuval Harari, believing that man is God now. We no longer need God.
What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
Robert Malone attributed to historian Yuval Noah Harari the verbatim claim that humanity 'no longer need[s] God' because 'man is God now.' Harari's actual published argument, developed most fully in his 2016 book Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, is that advances in biotechnology, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence are giving humans increasing god-like technical capability, such as pursuing radically extended lifespans and control over biological processes, framed as humans becoming 'self-made gods' through capability rather than as a personal theological assertion that God does not exist or is unneeded. A description of Harari's own 2017 public conversation about the book, hosted by Harvard Law School's Petrie-Flom Center, characterizes its central question as being addressed to humanity 'as the self-made gods of planet earth,' concerning what technological quests humans will pursue, with no indication of a literal renunciation of God or religious belief. No reachable, allowlisted source was found in which Harari states, in those or equivalent words, that humanity 'no longer needs God.' As phrased, Malone's statement compresses Harari's metaphorical argument about technological capability into an uncharitable direct quotation Harari is not shown to have made.
