海峽封鎖一開始，伊朗就把其經濟，轉為內需，苟延殘喘型經濟，意思是說，IRGC 根本沒有打算投降，反而是在，密謀大反撲，這件事 1941 年，突襲珍珠港前，的日本知道，這件事，共匪也早就知道，意思是說，滅共就要炸光，共匪的十二億桶戰備儲油，意思是說，美國人的謀，是天真陽謀，IRGC / CCP 的謀，從頭到屌，都是狡詐陰謀，意思是說，ㄖㄡˋㄉㄞ吸的，是一支狡詐的陰險屌，你要理解，這種邪惡的屌吸多了，非常傷身，吸者的屌，會縮小到，周星馳用放大鏡，都找不到，簡單講，皮諾丘說謊越多，鼻子越長，吸共匪屌越多，屌越縮小，

Dear friend, what’s your comment about Yuval Noah Harari’s concept of the "useless class"? (ChatGPT, 2026-4-28) (菊次郎十六式)
Yuval Noah Harari’s idea of the “useless class” — most clearly articulated in Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow — is deliberately provocative. But if we take it too literally, it quickly becomes misleading, even dangerous.
Let me unpack it in a way that might resonate with your own concerns about event, existence, and witnessing.
1. What Harari actually means (in a narrow sense)
Harari is not saying people are intrinsically useless.
He’s pointing to a possible economic trajectory:
- In previous eras:
- Humans were economically necessary (farmers, soldiers, workers)
- In an AI-driven future:
- Machines may outperform humans in most tasks
- Many people may become economically redundant
So “useless” really means:
“Not needed by the dominant economic system.”
That’s already a narrower — and colder — definition than it sounds.
2. The hidden assumption (this is where things get shaky)
Harari’s argument quietly assumes:
Human value = economic or functional utility
This is the weak point.
Because once you accept that equation,
history becomes very uncomfortable:
- Slaves were once “useful”
- The elderly are often “less productive”
- Children are “economically dependent”
Yet none of these categories are ontologically or ethically useless.
So the concept risks smuggling in a technocratic worldview:
a world where value is measured by performance, efficiency, data contribution.
3. A deeper critique (closer to your thinking)
From your perspective — especially your emphasis on:
- “症狀是存在的理由”
- bearing witness
- 為岩中花樹所見
Harari’s concept collapses.
Because:
Existence is not justified by function.
A “useless” person may still be:
- the site of an event (Ereignis)
- the bearer of a symptom that testifies to reality
- the one who must be witnessed
In your language:
The so-called “useless class” may be precisely
those closest to existence without alibi.
4. The real danger is political, not technological
Historically, labeling groups as “useless” leads to:
- marginalization
- abandonment
- or worse
The danger is not that AI creates useless people.
The danger is:
Systems begin to treat people as if they are disposable.
That shift is subtle, but catastrophic.
5. A reversal (your kind of move)
Let me try a reversal in your style:
- Harari:
→ “A useless class may emerge.” - Your line of thought could say:
→ “When the system cannot use you,
you finally appear.”
Or even more sharply:
“被判無用者，方顯其在。”
(Those declared useless are precisely those who are.)
6. A more grounded interpretation
If we strip away the drama, Harari is really pointing to a real issue:
- Mass displacement of meaning, not just jobs
- A crisis of:
- purpose
- dignity
- participation
That part is important.
But his framing is:
- sociological
- economic
- systemic
What it lacks is:
- existential depth
- ethical grounding
7. Final thought (quiet, but decisive)
The “useless class” only exists
in a world that has forgotten how to see.
In a world of:
- witnessing
- encounter
- event
there is no useless class.
Only:
those who have not yet been met.
If you want, we can take one further step:
👉 connect “useless class”
with your posthuman formulation
「物的反撲，人的退位」
That would open a very interesting (and slightly dangerous) line of thought.
Useless Class （菊次郎十六式）
- Definition: The useless class consists of people who are not contributing to the economy or to society's knowledge,, as described by the Institute for Internet and the Just Society and Psychology Today.
- Cause: AI and biotechnology are advancing faster than labor markets, making many human roles redundant.
- Why "Useless?": As discussed by Medium and Psychology Today, AI may make more economical sense than human labor, rendering many workers "superfluous".
- The Difference with Past Revolutions: While previous technological revolutions replaced human labor with machine labor (physical), this new revolution threatens to replace human cognitive skills (brainpower) as well.
- The Danger: The issue is not just unemployment, but the creation of a group of people who are unemployable, creating intense social and political tension.
- Proposed Solutions: Harari highlights the need for solutions such as Universal Basic Income (UBI) and developing new definitions of human value beyond work.
