I find especially distasteful efforts like this to deceive and manipulate the uninformed into participating in the destruction of their life-support systems:
This is not the first time in history some profound wisdom was conveyed by a carpenter. Erik Lindberg is not a professor, reformed Wall Street financier, economist, physicist, or even Tibetan monk. He’s just a carpenter with a Ph.D. in English and Comparative Literature, and a guy who has taken the time to sit back and ponder what the fuck we are doing here on Earth in the 21st century.
Can you believe it? This is getting to be a routine occurrence – media coverage of young women reconsidering bringing children into a world already so overpopulated we’re damaging the Earth’s life-support systems we depend on.
