William Shatner: We Won’t Make It To The 23rd Century
Trek Today ^ | July 20, 2021 | T'Bonz

Posted on 07/22/2021 9:19:55 AM PDT by White Lives Matter

In an interview with The Big Issue, William Shatner spoke about mankind’s future, his love of danger, and his own mortality.

Many fans of Star Trek drew comfort from the fact that humans made it to the future without destroying themselves, but Shatner doesn’t think this will happen. “Fifty years ago, I read Rachel Carson‘s Silent Spring,” he explained. “I remember vividly. What she said was going to happen has happened.

It's hard to believe he's going strong at age 90.

Rachel Carson‘s “Silent Spring” has been thoroughly debunked, only the most gullible believe it.

A climate alarmist. I like and respect him, even if he’s wrong on this.

“I’ve seen maps of what the ocean is going to do to Bangladesh. There’s sixty million people in Bangladesh! It’s going to be underwater! Where are those people going to go? India already has too many people. Pakistan, are you kidding me?

“That’s going to be the way it’s going to affect the world. And it’s going to be awful.”

“The real reason everything is happening is there’s too many people,” Shatner added. “The planet can’t sustain seven billion, let alone ten billion. It’s such a complex problem. And nobody’s dealing with it. Nobody! It is going to be, not the end of mankind, but it’s going to be the decline of mankind.”

Don't worry. Plenty of viruses and the cures will fix everything

Back in the 1980s, a guy named Lester Brown was the enviro-prophet-du-jour.

He predicted massive famine in Africa and particularly China. Civil war in China due to food riots, massive drought across the globe.

total nonsense - and he’s still putting garbage predictions.

“I remember vividly. What she said was going to happen has happened.”

BS. I read it in High School around 1967 and she did not predict the future. Capitalist societies have done an outstanding job protecting the environment (unlike communists).

What’s going to get us are people like Fauci and his ilk who create new life forms in the laboratory and let them escape...or turn them loose on us. Just look at the speed at which this coronavirus swept the globe and reached into every nook and cranny of the entire earth. If you could gather up all the coronavirus from the entire globe, it would weigh only 1/4 pound to 20 pounds. That is all the mass it takes to bring the entire planet to heel.

Queue the morons talking about how they ran in streams of DDT fog, and how it has little effect on humans (in other words the dolts who never read the book).

On Star Trek, Captain Kirk would have already broken the prime directive and eradicated the Covid, with McCoy’s help of course.

Well, I guess we’ll have to explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilizations.

Nah, don’t you know it’s utterly Satanic to infer that we Special Humans are not subject to population pressures like mere ‘animals’? If you don’t want a planet with a population of 200 billion, you can’t possibly be a Christian, or a Conservative. Every sperm is sacred!

Shatner seems like he would be a pretty cool guy to have a beer with, but believing he has some insight into the future of mankind is like assuming Stephen Hawking would have been able to pour us the beers at the bar without spilling any.

Just watched the mule, and wow did Eastwood look and act old in that movie. Shatner, while,old, stil, is pretty spry. Maybe Eastwood was just ‘acting the part’ for the movie, but even his voice sounded strained and old
