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.

And if he’s going to have his panties in such a wad about overpopulation then maybe he shouldn’t live to be so damn old.

Me thinks Captain Kirk has consumed to much Terrollian Iced Tea and has finally gone loopy. Or he could just be trolling. He is a master troll.

The 22nd century is also a gamble considering the present regime.

Hell, don’t place your bets on tomorrow unless you’re an illegal invader of our border.

Bill, Bill, Bill....

Rachel Carson was a crazy dying lady, and the idiots who took Silent Spring as serious science and banned DDT are responsible for literally millions of malaria deaths in the Third World.

As far as the human race is concerned I wouldn't bet against us. We are amazingly resilient and adaptive.

But we can’t boldly go where no man has gone before. Now we have to be politically correct and boldly go where no one has gone before. We don’t want to hurt the self esteem of anyone to suggest that only a man, or males, are the ones doing space exploration.

DDT is still manufactured and exported by China, India and N Korea.

Yes,

And the Star Trek with him are still the best.

I won’t address the rubbish he speaks of. Not worth mentioning and a 90 year old cool guy gets a pass on criticism.

Think about it.

Because of the part he played, people think he is smarter than someone like Max Baer Jr. Really?

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?

India has one billion people; what is sixty million more? But seriously... They sure as hell aren't going to Pakistan... I seem to remember a war about that sometime ago... which led to Bangladesh (as opposed to East Pakistan).

“The real reason everything is happening is there’s too many people,” Shatner added. “The planet can’t sustain...

Maybe Bill should off himself? Personally I think we don't have enough people... or at least enough of the right kind of people.... but I don't want to get into a discussion of eugenics....

Max Baer Jr. made a fortune after The Beverly Hillbillies.

Did Rachel tell you that she was responsible for the death of 10s of millions of people due to malaria caused by the DDT ban she caused.

Just watched the mule, and wow did Eastwood look and act old in that movie.

I don't know.... he seemed in pretty good shape for a ninety -year old. We had to take away my Dad's license when he reached 91.... stop signs and red lights became a real problem for him. He once drove around a traffic circle... in the wrong direction (without and mishap Thank God).

Capitalist Society:
Three Mile Island, a Nuclear Power Plant that avoided a Meltdown when there was a system disruption and had a Reactor encased in a Containment Dome just in case. There were no direct or indirect Fatalities when the Malfunction occurred.

Communist Society:
Chernobyl, a Nuclear Power Plant (designed to produce Weapons Grade Plutonium) experienced a Reactor Meltdown. The Reactor was only covered with a porous Metal Structure, not a Containment Dome. The ensuing Radiation Leaks caused numerous direct and indirect Fatalities and turned an entire swath of surrounding Land into an uninhabitable wasteland.

Additionally, the Radiation Cloud drifted over Europe, causing panic and forcing the affected Countries to take actions to prevent any harm to their Populations.
