Yuval Harari: “Don’t need the vast Majority of the Population”

Writes Tim McGraw:

Hi Lew,

Yuval obviously doesn’t know dick about machines. It takes people to make machines, but it also takes people to fix them. No one thinks about maintenance or waste products for that matter. I’ve worked as an aircraft mechanic and a caterer. No one accounts for how much it costs to put an airplane in the air and keep it there safely, or what to do with the waste after a catering event. No one completes the circle on an airplane or a catering event; or anything near as I can tell.

The planes don’t maintain themselves. Never will. They may fly themselves, but no machine is smart enough or maneuverable enough to fix them. Machines are stupid hunks of metal and plastic. The more complicated they get, the more they break down and the harder they are to fix.

Yuval probably doesn’t even know how to change the oil and filter on a car. See here.
