On the burden of prognostication, and failure therein

[catsidhe]

In tomorrow's lesson: if you don't make precisely the same mistakes as Malthus did, then you're not worried about Malthusian conditions (you're just waving his name around for hysterical, even religious, scare purposes), and if you do make the same mistakes, then you made the same proven mistakes as Malthus did, and are therefore not only wrong, but stupid.

Therefore there is no such thing as Malthusianism. Keep passing the Soylent Green.
