We are probably headed for TEOTWAWKI...
but not due to overpopulation,
but due to overgovernmentation.
Between his population explosion garbage and global warming we have spent a whole lot of money and time chasing ghosts.
I wish this cr@p would never have been brought up.
Our standard of living would be considerably higher than it is today.
The damage those guys have done is breath taking....
You beat me to it.
If you read the words of Paul Elrich the worst thing to give humanity in their opinion is empowering technology.
Paul Elrich spews a lot of stuff that is most certainly evil or will result in evil towards humanity.
He is cut from the same cloth that would want humanity to stay on this rock till the sun explodes because they view Humanity as a “plague” on the cosmos.
[tinfoil happy time]
From the stuff people like this spew it almost makes one think that there ARE aliens here and they are influencing or controlling people like Elrich to keep humanity on the planet so they can dominate the space in our neighborhood.
And if not aliens, maybe demons of a sort.
[tinfoil happy time]
I estimate that there is 100% chance of Erlich being wrong since EVERY other prediction he has made has been wrong.
That is one of the reasons I no longer read Science. I think that earlier this year they had an article about the coming crisis due to Nitrogen free radicals. Involved a lot of money for research and correction.
At least Popular Mechanics tries to get the science right.
There’s no such thing as “global civilization”.
There’s Europe and her progeny, and a bunch of savages, barbarians, and Chinamen.
This guy or people like him don’t need to be right; they just need to convince enough powerful people in government that they are right.
I pray I am wrong, but I firmly believe that there is at least a plan to unleash a biological agent that would kill 90 percent of the worlds population IF the powers to be were convinced it were necessary to set things in balance.
I am under no illusions on who would be innoculated. GS 10s and above...
Wow, the solution isn't more world socialism this time but to become a conservative!
A big war wouldn't entirely be bad for America. We would temporarily gut welfare spending and invest heavily in robotics. When the war is over anyone with a backyard can have a robot tended micro-farm.
If civilization collapses it will be from the usual causes.
War, pestilence, disease, starvation.
Most of these have nothing to do with population density and everything to do with governments.
You are 100% correct. Europeans and their progeny are in demographic decline, while Moslems are going to triple their numbers in the next 50 years. Assuming they don’t use the bomb before then.
