Meeting Doctor Doom (Envirnazi advocates wiping out 90% of humanity)

Meeting Doctor Doom

Forrest M. Mims III

Copyright 2006 by Forrest M. Mims III.

Recently citizen scientist Forrest Mims told me about a speech he heard at the Texas Academy of Science during which the speaker, a world-renowned ecologist, advocated for the extermination of 90 percent of the human species in a most horrible and painful manner. Apparently at the speaker's direction, the speech was not video taped by the Academy and so Forrest's may be the only record of what was said. Forrest's account of what he witnessed chilled my soul. Astonishingly, Forrest reports that many of the Academy members present gave the speaker a standing ovation. To date, the Academy has not moved to sanction the speaker or distance itself from the speaker's remarks.

If the professional community has lost its sense of moral outrage when one if their own openly calls for the slow and painful extermination of over 5 billion human beings, then it falls upon the amateur community to be the conscience of science.

Forrest, who is a member of the Texas Academy and chairs its Environmental Science Section, told me he would be unable to describe the speech in The Citizen Scientist because he has protested the speech to the Academy and he serves as Editor of The Citizen Scientist . Therefore, to preclude a possible conflict of interest, I have directed Forrest to describe what he observed and his reactions in this special feature, for which I have served as editor and which is being released a week ahead of our normal publication schedule. Comments may be sent to Backscatter . Shawn Carlson, Ph.D., Founder and Executive Director, Society for Amateur Scientists.

Pianka hammered his point home by exclaiming, “We're no better than bacteria!”

Pianka should speak for himself.

This Environazi (the word fits for this person) advocate kill 5 billion people with an airborne form of Ebola, and the Texas Academy of Science gave the speaker a standing ovation.

Forrest Mims should get a medal for telling us about this.

And the speaker and those in Texas Academy of Science who support the speaker should be executed for supporting crimes against humanity through genocide with biological weapons.

I wouldn't mind trying out his theories,-- he should volunteer first.

Saw this earlier today. The guy is a loon. What's unfortunate is there is an audience somewhere that would give him a standing ovation.

One of Pianka's earliest points was a condemnation of anthropocentrism, or the idea that humankind occupies a privileged position in the Universe. He told a story about how a neighbor asked him what good the lizards are that he studies. He answered, “What good are you?”

Pianka hammered his point home by exclaiming, “We're no better than bacteria!”

Pianka then began laying out his concerns about how human overpopulation is ruining the Earth. He presented a doomsday scenario in which he claimed that the sharp increase in human population since the beginning of the industrial age is devastating the planet. He warned that quick steps must be taken to restore the planet before it's too late.

Seems like he holds two contradictory viewpoints:
1. All species have equal worth
2. The human species is 'ruining' the planet.

If (1) is true, then we humans are just fulfilling our biological role of spreading over the earth and adapting it to our purposes (think of office towers as just our species' version of beehives), which means (2) doesn't apply. Survival of the more aggressive and adaptable species, y'all.

Every college or university has at least one of these characters. And to the best of my knowledge, none of them has volunteered to "take one for the team".

This is just the next logical progression of the anti human enviro wacko movement.

He's just advocating being more direct about it.

It is not only that every college and university have this type of nut-job but that most of the faculty support him.

What's unfortunate is there is an audience somewhere that would give him a standing ovation.

And as the author points out, what's frightening is the possibility of some Pianka-worshipping former student becoming a professional biologist or physician with access to the most deadly strains of viruses and bacteria.

don't know about specifically 90%... but it will happen someday.

Matthew 24:21, 22

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

This makes absolute sense in this manner: those who have been behind the mass murder of the past 100 years have been the academics and the intellectuals. Communism, fascism, eugenics, making a thousand flowers bloom, creating an efficient system for genoicide, systematic terror against your own population, attempting to create a new socialist paradise by killing everyone with farm implements, disinformation for the purpose of agitation propoganda... all these ideas and many, many more have had the explicit support from academics and intellectuals. It is not a surprise that a professor, a person who is, by definition, living in a world of ideas and concepts, can come up with the ultimate expression about the way to get to his ideal world population.

Stuck in a classroom, this guy is simply the ur-Nazi or the ur-Communist. Now imagine this same guy as a trusted advisor to a powerful political or an oligarichical clique.

We should mail him (Pinaka?) a suggestion that if he really believes in such things, he should go smear himself with honey, stake out on the nearest ant hill and give the ants a fighting chance in survival of the fittest. Do it for the team, yeah!

heh-heh. surrre he would.

Finally, an honest environmental activist.
A lot of environmentalists simply take up the old existentialist slogan
of "hell is other people".
In the moment of candid reflection, they reveal their real goal.
Get all those other people out of the way so they won't be bothered by
them in their new utopian paradise.
