A few years ago before I knew who Yuval Harari was (and I think before he joined the WEF) I was loaned a book called "Sapiens" written by him. I thought his viewpoint that wheat controlled us was a little silly but interesting, but once I got to the farming chapter I was so infurated by his complete incomprehension of farming (and totalizing accusations against all farmers) that I stopped reading and decided the guy was a complete idiot.

In all that I have learned since, I can't say I was wrong.
