I think the "the scientist"... uh, a professor of marketing, is either trying to virally market himself, Greta style.. or there's something darker going on about him, at a very personal level... or both.
- nobodyandproud 7y agoRead about the start of eugenics a hundred years ago. There were people who really believed in instituting some really dark policies “for the greater good.

The same social democratic party that is currently ruling Sweden was deeply into eugenics before WW2. b) I think this guy's motivation comes from a completely different perspective though. He's teaching at the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_School_of_Economics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_School_of_Economics - I can't really imagine anyone with social democratic tendencies wanting to work there. Given the current debate climate in Sweden my thinking is that he simply expected to be celebrated for having a radical solution to the climate change issue. Or he just wanted to market himself. Or he is a cannibal. Or a combination of the above things. It will be interesting to see what the Stockholm School of Economics end up saying about him after the dust has settled.
- nobodyandproud 7y agoAh, you’re right. He’s an expert in marketing and gauging reactions. It’s much harder to see what his motives are then.
