Is the Human Population Unsustainable? (with Dr Eleanor Shaw)

Описание: Episode 100 - Thomas Malthus. A discussion with Dr Eleanor Shaw about the influence of the cleric Thomas Mathus, who devised a theory relating population to resource use to argue progress was fundamentally unsustinable. We discuss the man and his ideas and how it informed British imperial policy during the Irish Famine. We then discuss how the ideas morphed into environmentalist ideology and formed the basis of the birth control movement. We discuss the Malthusian influence in Paul Ehrlich's 'Population Bomb' and organic farming. We discuss the political causes of famine and discuss whether anti-WEF protesters have some awareness of this. We also talk about Barry Josephson's expressed intent to 'get rid of poor people as a whole' in correspondence with Jefferey Epstein.
