This Ishmael philosphy involves topics like: “Food Production And Human Population Growth.” “Human population numbers as a function of food supply” “The oil we eat: following the food chain back to Iraq - Essay, by Richard Manning” Twenty years ago, I was a freshman biology student at a major university and I switched my major because I couldn’t handle all the doom and gloom about Non-Sustainable Population Growth. The conclusion was always that we were doomed and it was all our own fault. Human population must decline according to the professor. What we have here is a real life, home-grown leftist terrorist!

I haven't read the whole thread, but what you said is interesting. Is there anything more written on that angle, was he one of those people who believed that stuff?

There’s a lot of leftist ranting at those links - the last one is the Amazon reviews for the original book by Daniel Quinn.
