“Congratulations, you are now hackable animals” Harari

Professor Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli historian, professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and author of best-selling science books 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, and Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (2018).
His works explore the concepts of free will, consciousness, intelligence, happiness, and pain.
In Davos 2020, Yuval Noah Harari delivered keynote talks on the future of mankind on the main Congress Hall stage of the World Economic Forum where he said ” Alongside inequality, the other major danger we face is the rise of digital dictatorships, that will monitor everyone all the time.”
This danger can be stated in the form of a simple equation, which I think might be the defining equation of life in the twenty-first century:

B x C x D = AHH!

Which means? Biological knowledge multiplied by Computing power multiplied by Data equals the Ability to Hack Humans, AHH.” Harari said.
Harari delivered another a speech in June 2020 stating that humans are ” Hackable animals”
