Everyone is so angry at Michael Moore because they are terminally anthropocentric. The point of the film is that we need to achieve fewer humans, and this makes the anthropocentrists rabidly angry.
Moore makes an excellent point: creating solar panels and wind farms requires fossil fuels. Doing so in such a way as to accommodate perpetual growth is unsustainable.
We need to prune the human species to a sustainable level and keep it there.
We need forced sterilization, now. We need to limit waste and useless economic activity, now. Or else we will become extinct.
COVID-19 is clear and unequivocal evidence that population density has reached unsustainable levels. We are looking at The Great Filter.
We can have innovation, technical progress, and a good life. But we can only do that on a smaller scale.
- mythrwy 6y agoGot any ideas besides forced sterilization? Because I don't see a chance of that one being adopted.

- morninglight 6y agoMillions have viewed the video, yet so few understand its message. "Growth is Good", but population growth without limits is suicide. Forced sterilization is not the only answer. Fifty years ago, Paul Ehrlich explained the problem in considerable detail, and he has offered numerous solutions. Today, most people have never heard of him. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_R._Ehrlich https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_R._Ehrlich ) Perhaps Covid-19.is too tame. Just wait. If we are unwilling to live in harmony with nature, the problem will soon be resolved - one way or another. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWMyWr9_CVo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWMyWr9_CVo )

"Today, most people have never heard of him. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_R._Ehrlich)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_R._Ehrlich)" For good reasons, since he failed miserably at his grand predictions and his anti-humanistic "solutions.

- mcswell 6y ago"COVID-19 is clear and unequivocal evidence that population density has reached unsustainable levels. We are looking at The Great Filter." You are aware of course that there have been other plagues in the past, going back to at least the Roman Empire: the Plague of Justinian, shortly after the fall of the Western Empire; and nearly a millennium before that, the Plague of Athens. Just how small does the human population have to get, in your opinion?
