Explaining Ehrlich's failed prediction, Indian Economist Gita Sen told The Times, “There's a tendency to apply to human beings the same sort of models that may apply for the insect world.” The difference? We’re not insects. “[H]uman beings are conscious beings, and we do all kinds of things to change our destiny.”

Perfect explanation.

I read a book on Lennon by one of their house helpers in the last few years of John Lennon’s life, that JL also commented on the well known book “Sugar Blues” too was interesting, “Sugar Blues” of course, being a book talking about sugar in full. I’ve read it too and probably because Lennon talked about it, I thought I’d search it out.

He was a thinker, a lot of people have the proverbial wildness in their youth. Rebelliousness and all that.
