A Message from Jared Diamond - Conservation International (CI)

[HaemonAK]

I am currently reading one of Jared Diamond's works about Agriculture and it being the "Worst Mistake" man has ever made. I seriously think that Jared lacks the understanding to think in the long term.. sure its had a negative effect NOW... but in the future if implemented correctly could lead to multitudes of benefits. Just because hunter gathers have their benefits doesn't mean farmers don't have theirs. Narrow minded.

"The Worst Mistake In The History Of The Human Race" by Jared Diamond"

@HaemonAK I am not familiar with this book but I believe that Dr Diamond applies the comparative method to investigate the environmental factors that affect our societal present as well the long term catastrophic consequences if our civilization doesn't change it's survival values according to existing environmental problems. Am I missing something? I don't find him narrow minded at all. On the contrary...At least in his latest book "Collapse"

Conservation has little to do with donations and more to do with rethinking.
