Trump's cabinet is a peace offering, so just live and let live.
Oligarchs have shit for brains, just saying.

Every day that passes without a "Malthusian catastrophe" disproves his theory more and more.

In addition, even if we assume such a catastrophe will some day befall humanity, the notion that technocrats can stave it off in a fair and ethical manner is incredulous.

So... until the catastrophe happens, I'm content reminding you that there are many valid criticisms.

You think I just fell out of a coconut tree?

I think you used google to support your values, an instance of motivated reasoning.

modern fertilizer, pesticides, and machinery

You want to ban google and wikipedia now too? Some technocrat you are!

God forbid you try to support your arguments... that would actually require clear thinking and real work.

If people act that way, society will be sent back into the stone age.

That's lazy. Read.

Possibly..

1798 if I recall Malthusian published?

No more lazy as you not promoting your own ideas. TBH, I don't think you've thought them through that well, so I'm not tempted to fish for something that is still a work in progress. But if you point them out...

The argument that ecological overshoot theory is flawed because Malthusian predictions haven't materialized on a global scale is a non-sequitur.
