Comment Crackpot societal theories and politicians (Score 1) 185
Malthusian Theory, The Population Bomb, Limits to Growth, Tragedy of the Commons, Social Darwinism / Eugenics and now this.
All crackpot theories that believe humanity can be predicted with as a steady state linear variable where no other component ever changes..
And what's worse, politicians and billionaires get into the mix to add their own brand of validity, laws and policies based on this nonsense.
I can guarantee you with absolute certainty (100%) that the latest "unlimited immigration" and other brain dead policies of the 2020s onward can be traced to the theories above or a science fiction writer like Asimov, Clarke, Doctorow, and many, many more.
Choose your favorite science fiction writer, sprinkle in some "Club of Rome" from above and formulate a policy that unwittingly kills 10 million people and causes suffering to populations you thought you were trying to help.
God help us with idiots.
