Personally I think you might be reading some stuff into this which you see but isn't there. I don't see anything political, ideological, or religious motive in Graham's analysis at all (Like I see in your response), he is simply questioning what he sees is misplaced faith with bad outcomes which are getting progressively worse. Do you think the world is a better place for having such a thing as a world bank, which has the ultimate power of life and death of the humanity of the entire planet as its subjects? Is that evolution? What is it actually doing about the global energy and environmental problem? Prolonging it, as long as possible, since it fundamentally depends on ownership of everything that can be scarcified and witheld from any party not assisting it to maintain control. That is an incredibly negative and destructive force at work, it seems to me. Of course Harari obviously has faith, even if he doesn't admit it, but because his faith is based on mistaken scientific beliefs, which are themseelves a product of historical egos, rather than pure science, his faith is actually in his own ego, rather than physical reality. No-one is disputing that there is evolution, just that there is more going on, something driven by human faith. To me it seems obvious faith and belief plays a very large part, good beliefs and faith have good outcomes, bad beliefs and faith have very bad outcomes. Faith like Harari's are obviously resulting in some very bad outcomes, but Harari doesn't acknowledge he has any faith, or that faith even exists, deciding instead to believe he only acts on impassionate logic, it seems to me, but his argument is flawed down to the foundations of the standard scientific interpretation of the findings of the study of evolution being themselves based on similarly mistaken historical ego driven faith.

Nature might be random, and progressive, but if we acknowledge the part played by faith, we should see there is more going on in human development than just evolution alone.
