I Am Not A Scientist. I Am,

Overconsumption And Overpopulation Underlie Every Environmental Problem We Face Today

Our Society Is Turning Toward More And More Needless Consumption. It Is A Vicious Circle That I Compare To Cancer . . . . Should We Eliminate Suffering, Diseases? The Idea Is Beautiful, But Perhaps Not A Benefit For The Long Term. We Should Not Allow Our Dread Of Diseases To Endanger The Future Of Our Species. . . . In Order To Stabilize World Population, We Need To Eliminate 350,000 People A Day. It Is A Horrible Thing To Say, But It's Just As Bad Not To Say It.

The Road To The Future Leads Us Smack Into The Wall. We Simply Ricochet Off The Alternatives That Destiny Offers. Our Survival Is No More Than A Question Of 25, 50 Or Perhaps 100 Years.

The Idea Of A Group Of Elders Is That, In Past Civilizations, They Have Linked Worlds; The Other World Was Also Present In This One. There Is Also The Argument That Elders Have "experience." The Problem Is That Experience Teaches Fear Of Change. Experience Kills Imagination. Experience Makes People Conservative. What We Are Facing Tomorrow Requires The Force Of Imagination, Not Wisdom From Yesterday.

Water And Air, The Two Essential Fluids On Which All Life Depends, Have Become Global Garbage Cans.
