Question
Hello and greetings.
What is the Rabbi’s opinion of this critique, https://www.knowingfaith.co.il/%D7%99%D7%94%D7%93%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%95%D7%97%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9D-%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%93%D7%A8%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%A8%D7%91%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%9E%D7%97%D7%A9%D7%91%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%91%D7%9C%D7%91-%D7%94%D7%A8%D7%A8%D7%99, by Moshe Rat on Yuval Noah Harari’s latest book?
And has the Rabbi written a critique of Harari’s ideas?
Answer
I haven’t written a critique. In the past, when people asked me, I referred them to critiques by Nadav Shnerb and Tomer Persico.

Shnerb’s critique was written about Harari’s first book. In the later books Harari only became more and more full of himself and riddled with embarrassing contradictions. What Moshe Rat wrote is very precise.
