Basically, he's an environmentalist misanthrope. Fun times.

I'll wager he stopped taking his meds a few weeks ago.



Edit: Dr. Sniper cured him.

 

[canucklehead]

so let's save the planet so no humans can exist anymore? he says he want no more humans but all other things should exist... (as well as all the other stupidity, like dismantling an economy would eradicate unemployment and give everyone houses that they can use to not reproduce in...)

 

[winos5]

He's not saying anything now, all quotes are post-humous from here on. At least he made the ultimate sacrifice for his beliefs.

Basically he was advocating for the extinction of the human race.

 

[jakobeast]

He was saying the shows like "Kate Plus 8" and "19 and Counting" are harmful to the environment. I spose, but I agree that shows like that a ridiculous and are dumb.

 

[Tater]

He was a big follower of Al Gore according to his website.

Basically says Inconvenient Truth was his turning point.

LOL



I actually LOLed reading that list of demands, thanks for that!

He made a couple interesting but misguided points. Certainly at some point the human population has to max out or it will well consume the entire planet but his ideas about it are well...off.



See even getting rid of the economy isn't exactly a terrible idea but it just doesn't work. If modern economics was done away with it would naturally resume into trade and barter which over time again would develop into our modern economy. Nobody does shit for free. the whole pay it forward on a small scale is realistic and a great thing but just doesn't work en masse.



It would be great to have some guys come over and build you a house and you in turn help them with whatever trade skill you have but it really just won't work.



As for humans being parasites. I can almost buy into that, I don't think the species itself is parasidic but I do feel that certain people in power do not take into consideration of the responsibility of being caretakers of this planet.
