Continuing this post, Harari gives a tech talk on the topic. The blurb:
"In a profound talk about technology and power, author and historian
Yuval Noah Harari explains the important difference between fascism and
nationalism -- and what the consolidation of our data means for the
future of democracy. Appearing as a hologram live from Tel Aviv, Harari
warns that the greatest danger that now faces liberal democracy is that
the revolution in information technology will make dictatorships more
efficient and capable of control. 'The enemies of liberal democracy hack
our feelings of fear and hate and vanity, and then use these feelings
to polarize and destroy,' Harari says. 'It is the responsibility of all
of us to get to know our weaknesses and make sure they don't become
weapons.'"
