      From: imbibe@mindspring.com              History was rewritten to delegitimize population concerns:       we need to reassert the truth.       In the old fable of the Emperor’s New Clothes, people denied        the emperor’s nakedness because they wanted to be seen as smart.        Today people deny overpopulation because they want to be seen as        moral. It is a form of virtue signaling: are you for justice and        equity and families and being nice to refugees, or are you one        of “The People Who Hate People”? Few look at the data to see        whether their position actually favours those goals, or whether,        indeed, they are having the opposite effect, obstructing progress        toward a fairer, more peaceful and sustainable world. How did it        come about that so many people became so passionately misinformed?       by Jane O’Sullivan       https://overpopulation-project.com/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
