@meadowfabricsdotcom Years from now, when the Apocalypse has finally begun, Stanford University will look back and say, "That man was right."

@uwmbigb

you mad bro? it's alright you don't have to cry kid.

which book did you supposedly read?

Try checking his "Human Natures" page 304 before you talk again please.

@1iguerra I read his book, in no uncertain terms in plain english he advocates the sterilizing of people forcefully. Fuck outta here talking to me troll

@uwmbigb

I think you should learn to read before you talk about "reading between the lines". Furthermore, where has he gone on record saying this? Also, what "involuntary depopulation methods" was he talking about (violent, non-violent)? Think before you speak, and spout some smear campaign.

[uwmbigb]

I concur, what hes advocating if you read between the lines, is frightening -  hes gone on record saying he advocates involuntary depopulation methods. WTF.

This man is dangerous. Years from now Stanford university will be ashamed to admit that he was on their staff

@barbaralovesblack It's all about money and power. I never said that the earth is finite. I never implied that. That is entirely your projection. Mount Pinatubo emitted more greenhouse gases than humans have emitted in our entire existence. The earth uis not infinite as you would seem to have me say, but it's it's a lot bigger and a lot less fragile that the doomsayers would have us believe. "The world is going to end if you don't do exactly what I (we) say" . Yeah, right.
