I’ve never seen so many trees die as I did this past summer. I live in South Texas where it used to be uncomfortably hot and has become more dangerous in the last decade; I never saw so many dead animals on the road as I did this last summer either.
I didn’t need a merchant to sell me despair; just looking around and feeling the air is all that was needed.
- RecycledEle 3y agoI will repeat this because people want to launch off-topic attacks: The more dense the population, the higher the per-capita GDP. The more man-lives we have records of, the more technology we have access to. Inventions are directly correlated to man-lives (or man-years) we have records of. Mathus' and the Club of Rome's claim that food production and wealth can not scale with the population is absurd. History shows us that that is not the case. As our population increased over thousands of years of recorded history, we did not become poorer or unable to feed ourselves. Instead, as our population went up, our per-capita GDP increased and the percentage of our income we spent to feed ourselves decreased. Please, prove me wrong. Read the first chapter of Merchants of Despair and prove Dr. Zubrin wrong.
