A typical post picks up 832 interactions against 662K followers, an engagement rate of 0.126%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 75% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 48K times each, and 1.72% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.32% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Of the 9 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 56% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.8K interactions, about 3.4x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Yuval Noah Harari's engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 67% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

The Bible has no descriptions of Jesus’ appearance, yet his face is the most replicated and recognizable image in the world. What does that tell us about the nature of information? Watch the whole @BigThink interview: https://t.co/4mlCx8pZcV https://t.co/ZxrK0oh8gf

Yesterday I had the privilege of attending Marc Bloch's reburial ceremony at the Panthéon – Paris' monument to the most outstanding citizens of France. Bloch was honored not only as one of the greatest French historians, but also as a man who chose resistance over safety when his country fell into darkness. Bloch fought in two World Wars, and received multiple awards for bravery. By the time the pro-Nazi Vichy regime came to power in 1940, Bloch was already recognized as perhaps the preeminent historian of medieval France. He continued to teach history, and during that time wrote 'Strange Defeat', a book explaining the French defeat in 1940, and 'The Historian’s Craft', a meditation on history and historiography. Bloch also joined the Résistance and became one of its leaders. On March 8, 1944 Bloch was captured during a crackdown on the Résistance by the Nazis and their French collaborators. At the time, collaborationist French newspapers celebrated Bloch’s capture. They highlighted his Jewish identity, and referred to the historian as a traitor to France, describing the Résistance as a Jewish-Bolshevik terrorist organization. Bloch was imprisoned and tortured at the Gestapo headquarters in Lyon, and was executed on June 16, 1944, ten days after the Allied landing in Normandy. I am a medievalist by training, and have been deeply influenced by Bloch. What moved me most about Bloch is his uncompromising commitment to truth. For him, history was never nostalgia or mythmaking, but a discipline of honesty – a way of resisting propaganda, prejudice, and the comfort of convenient fictions. For Bloch, truth was not just an intellectual position, but a spiritual practice. Anticipating his death at the hands of the Gestapo and the Vichy regime, the Jewish historian and freedom fighter left behind detailed instructions for his burial. He wrote: “I have not asked to have read above my body those Jewish prayers to the cadence of which so many of my ancestors, including my father, were laid to rest. All my life I have striven to achieve complete sincerity in word and thought. I hold that any compromise with untruth, no matter what the pretext, is the mark of a human soul’s ultimate corruption. […] That is why I find it impossible, at this moment of my last farewell, when, if ever, a man should be true to himself, to authorize any use of those formulae of an orthodoxy to the beliefs of which I have ever refused to subscribe. But I should hate to think that anyone might read into this statement of personal integrity even the remotest approximation to a coward’s denial. I am prepared, therefore, if necessary, to affirm here, in the face of death, that I was born a Jew: that I have never denied it, nor ever been tempted to do so. […] A stranger to all credal dogmas, as to all pretended community of life and spirit based on race, I have, through life, felt that I was above all, and quite simply, a Frenchman. A family tradition, already of long date, has bound me firmly to my country. I have found nourishment in her spiritual heritage and in her history. I can, indeed, think of no other land whose air I could have breathed with such a sense of ease and freedom. I have loved her greatly, and served her with all my strength. I have never found that the fact of being a Jew has at all hindered these sentiments. Though I have fought in two wars, it has not fallen to my lot to die for France. But I can, at least, in all sincerity, declare that I die now, as I have lived, a good Frenchman.” By his request, a Latin epitaph was carved on Bloch’s grave: dilexi veritatem (“I have loved the truth”). Watching Bloch's memory honored at the Panthéon yesterday did not feel like a tribute to the past as much as a challenge to the present. As dark clouds gather once again, how many of us today can demonstrate Bloch's level of integrity and fearlessness?

We simply do not know what will be required by the job market in the coming decades. What matters most is the capacity to remain flexible, and to have a wide range of skills – intellectual, physical and social. https://t.co/6FtKwGYkWv

When we stop force-feeding our minds, we have the opportunity to digest and detoxify. We should also be careful about the quality of information we consume. A bad diet is bad for you in more ways than one. https://t.co/BHQmVl3Qqw

We don't know if the repercussions of AI will be good or bad, but we do know disruption will happen, and we know that it will happen much faster than in previous generations. The important thing isn't to panic or be frightened, but to understand the magnitude of the change we are facing.

As the famous maxim goes: change is the only constant. But change in itself is neither good nor bad. The outcomes of today's social and technological upheavals cannot be known to us; what we do know is that change will happen, and that we must be flexible to deal with the change itself.

- What is Yuval Noah Harari's engagement rate on X?
- Yuval Noah Harari (@harari_yuval) has an engagement rate of 0.126%, based on the median interactions across 9 original posts from the last 30 days against 662,298 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.126%, Yuval Noah Harari sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @harari_yuval have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @harari_yuval post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.8 posts per day across the measured window.
