POPULARITY
For centuries, the work ethic was used to justify inequality, but it also fueled a powerful movement for justice. In the final part of this series, Elizabeth Anderson and Dart Lindsley explore the progressive work ethic, a vision of labor rooted in dignity, equality, and shared prosperity. They trace how thinkers like Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, the Ricardian Socialists, and Karl Marx inspired reforms in education, labor rights, and social insurance, laying the foundation for social democracy. The conversation then turns to the neoliberal revival of the conservative work ethic, where leaders like Reagan and Thatcher redefined work to cut protections, concentrate power, and suppress wages. This isn't just history—it's a framework for how we treat work today.Elizabeth Anderson is a political philosopher known for her work on democracy, economic justice, and the ethics of work. Her latest book, Hijacked, explores how the work ethic was distorted by neoliberalism to undermine workers and how it can be reclaimed to support fairness and dignity in the workplace.In this episode, Dart and Elizabeth discuss:- How the progressive work ethic reshaped labor- Why Smith and Mill saw work as freedom, not control- How Marx and the Ricardian socialists fought for justice- The rise of worker protections and education- How neoliberalism shifted power to corporations- The fall of social democracy and its effects today- Reclaiming work as a source of dignity and fairness- And other topics…Professor Elizabeth Anderson specializes in moral and political philosophy, feminist theory, social epistemology, and the philosophy of economics. She holds the positions of Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy and Women's & Gender Studies, and Max Shaye Professor of Public Philosophy at the University of Michigan. A MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, Elizabeth has written extensively on democracy, labor, and economic justice, including her latest book, Hijacked: How Neoliberalism Turned the Work Ethic Against Workers and How Workers Can Take It Back.

Send us a textGUEST: SETH GRUBER, Executive Producer, The 1916 ProjectIt's been said that “Ideas have consequences and bad ideas have victims.”Ideas are the causes of actions in the world, for better or for worse. And the Christian should know from God's Word that sinful ideas come from unregenerate minds. Romans 8 says, “the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:7-8).The depravity and death we see all around us in our culture, particularly millions of aborted babies, all manner of sexual and gender perversion, and suicide and euthanasia, are the direct result of ideas from minds that hate God and His truth and design.As shown in a new documentary film titled The 1916 Project by executive producer Seth Gruber, the wicked lineage of this God-forsaking worldview in America is built block by block upon well-known names like evolutionist Charles Darwin, abortionist Margaret Sanger, and pervert Alfred Kinsey and many other lesser known influencers like Thomas Malthus, Francis Galton, Havelock Ellis, and Emma Goldman.Gruber reveals how these men and women are the reason why abortion today is seen as “My body, my choice,” “love is love,” “gender is fluid,” and “children need to explore their sexuality at the youngest ages.”Seth Gruber joins us today on The Christian Worldview to discuss Margaret Sanger and the History of the Death and Depravity Revolution in light of The 1916 Project documentary film.-------------------------------The 1916 Project DVD
The work ethic began as a religious principle before evolving into an economic theory. But by the 18th and 19th centuries, it had taken on a new role: a justification for social inequality. Thinkers like Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill saw work as a path to dignity and opportunity, while economists like Thomas Malthus and Nassau Senior argued that keeping wages low and limiting aid would encourage self-reliance. This perspective had real consequences, especially during the Irish Potato Famine, when relief efforts were deliberately restricted under the belief that hardship would force people to work. In Part 2 of this series, Elizabeth and Dart explore how the work ethic shifted from a moral belief to an economic tool.In this episode, Dart and Elizabeth discuss:- How the work ethic became a tool for control- Work as dignity vs. work as discipline- The idea that poverty keeps workers in line- The fear of rising wages and worker power- The Irish Potato Famine as a test of forced labor policies- How unemployment became a moral failure- Reclaiming work as a source of empowerment- And other topics...Professor Elizabeth Anderson specializes in moral and political philosophy, feminist theory, social epistemology, and the philosophy of economics.

A l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de Darwin, le 12 février, BSG rediffuse une série consacrée au père de la théorie de l'Évolution.Dans L'origine des espèces, Darwin innove par sa logique, enchaînant des faits et des déductions logiques. Alors que le transformisme de Lamarck n'était qu'une hypothèse ouverte, Darwin pose la réalité de la transformation des espèces, dont il explique le mécanisme. La variation des animaux et des plantes est un fait prouvé par la sélection artificielle pratiquée par les jardiniers et les éleveurs. Par ailleurs, Darwin souligne la contradiction apparente entre la tendance à un accroissement exponentiel des populations et le fait que dans la réalité, les populations sont en équilibre avec leur milieu. Un facteur de régulation éliminatoire doit donc exister.Darwin se saisit alors du modèle de Thomas Malthus, qui prédit une lutte pour l'existence (la fameuse expression struggle for life). Les "vainqueurs" de cette lutte sont les individus les mieux adaptés (survival of the fittest, la survie du mieux adapté). Conclusion : chaque espèce se transforme au hasard, dans toutes les directions. Les variants les mieux adaptés sont favorisés et donc retenus par l'évolution. Le Darwinisme n'a jamais été refuté, même s'il a été affiné depuis. Il a été le point de départ d'autres théories, lesquelles ont eu une validité et un destin divers…Dessin ©Jonathan Munoz chez Glénat_______
On this episode of ID the Future out of the vault, host Emily Kurlinski talks with Michael Egnor, professor of neurosurgery at Stony Brook University, about the dire warnings, stretching back at least to Thomas Malthus near the turn of the nineteenth century, that overpopulation would lead to starvation and civilizational ruin. Egnor discusses this and other scientific claims once widely embraced by scientific experts and later shown to be off base. The lesson, Egnor says, is that when someone tells you to believe something simply because it's “the scientific consensus,” reserve judgment. Consensus, says Egnor, is “a political concept, not a scientific one.” And when much of the scientific community is held captive by a dogmatic adherence to materialism, Read More › Source
The holiday season is here, and with it a chance to read or watch Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Listen to learn the strange connection between Ebenezer Scrooge, "surplus population" and British economist Rev. Thomas Malthus. Purdue ag economist, Larry DeBoer, explains.
¿Por qué se vuelve más necesario que nunca INVERTIR? Porque si decides que tus finanzas dependan de los políticos de turno, te convertirás en esclavo del Globalismo y su Agenda 2030. Si quieres investigar por tu cuenta: el Maltusianismo es la teoría demográfica, económica y sociopolítica, desarrollada por Thomas Malthus durante la revolución industrial, según la cual la capacidad de crecimiento de la población responde a una progresión geométrica, mientras que el ritmo de aumento de los recursos para su supervivencia solo lo puede hacer en progresión aritmética (Wikipedia). ✅Si vas en serio «La Biblia del Magnate del Ladrillo» está AQUÍ: https://amzn.eu/d/6TzdlnB ✅
Robin te Slaa schuift aan om te vertellen over zijn nieuwe boek De Rapaille Partijen. De historicus schrijft daarin over de Rapaille Partij die in 1921 in de Amsterdamse gemeenteraad kwam, en laat zien dat het antipolitieke sentiment onze democratie al vanaf het begin kenmerkt. De onvrede achter de succesvolle campagne van straatschuimer Had-je-me-maar trekt hij door naar de onvrede waar Geert Wilders nu op inspeelt.Hij was de uitvoerende arm van Van Heutsz, liet in 1906 talloze vrouwen en kinderen vermoorden op Atjeh, en voldeed in alle opzichten aan het daderprofiel van de loyale militaire koloniaal. Anne-Lot Hoek bespreekt de biografie die historica Vilan van de Loo over de Atjeh-generaal Frits van Daalen schreef.Thomas Malthus wist eeuwen geleden al zeker dat de aarde overbevolkt was. Honger en armoede sloten verdere groei van de mensheid uit, verkondigde hij. Zijn gedachtengoed lijkt door de klimaatcrisis actueler dan ooit. In Historisch Nieuwblad leest u deze maand een portret van de vader van de bevolkingsbeperking.

If properties are empty from population decline, they'll lose value and rent. If this happens, then what's the timeline? Richard Vague, the PA Governor-appointed Secretary of Banking and Securities from 2020-2023, joins us. US and world birth rates keep declining. As population declines, per capita GDP often increases. Richard believes that inequality will widen. Most models show the US population increasing for several decades. A median model is 342M today up to 383M in 2054. Opposite of what the Fed thinks, Richard believes that lower interest rates can quell today's persistent inflation. The US has had 9 instances of high inflation. It's often spurred by wars, which create shortages. I tell Richard about GRE's Inflation Triple Crown and ask his opinion. Real estate values rise as debt-to-GDP rises. I point-blank ask Richard if an economic crisis is imminent.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. The phenomenon of population decline is spreading throughout the world. Will that come to the US and obliterate real estate then?

Corey Coates (00:01:30) - You're listening to the show that has created more financial freedom than nearly any show in the world. This is get rich education. Keith Weinhold (00:01:46) - We're going to drive from Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin to Mono Lake, California, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and you're listening to get Rich education. Real estate is obviously a strong, proven store of value. Now, what's interesting is that most economists agree that money should be three things a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. Well, please don't take offense here. This can sound a little crude, but there's one thing to call those that use dollars as a store of value, and that is poor. How is a dollar a store of value when you've had 20% plus cumulative inflation over the last three years alone, the dollar is a poor store of value. We're going to get into inflation with our other esteemed guest and gubernatorial appointee today. He has some opinions on inflation, and you may very well feel that I poke him on this topic today. Keith Weinhold (00:02:58) - I'll also get his input on our inflation Triple Crown concept, where real estate helps you win with inflation three ways at the same time. But first, he and I are going to discuss the specter of population decline. And well, it's not always a specter to people because some feel that the world is better off with fewer people, environmentalists and others. Japan's native born population is falling at a rate of almost 100 people per hour. Yeah, you heard that right. Well, is that coming to the United States and how bad would that be for real estate? Before we go on with those discussions about population decline and then inflation, here's something cool. Is your first language Spanish, or do you have any Spanish speaking family or friends? If you do, you're in luck! I'm proud to announce that our real estate Pays five ways video course is now available in Spanish and it is free. Yes, all five course videos leverage depreciation, cash flow, ROA, tax benefits and inflation profiting. All broken down by me in Spanish. Keith Weinhold (00:04:15) - You can see those five videos.

He's an economic futurist, keynote speaker, and popular author. He's the former secretary of banking and securities for the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Today, he runs a group that predicts financial crises called Tycho's. Keith Weinhold (00:05:40) - That's really interesting. Joining us from Philadelphia today. Hey, it's great to welcome back Richard Vague. Richard Vague (00:05:47) - Thank you so much for having me. It's real privilege. Keith Weinhold (00:05:50) - Vague is spelled vague u e just like it sounds. If you're listening in the audio only. Richard also has a YouTube channel where, among other things, he discusses topics like population decline and inflation. Two things that we'll get into today. But before that, Richard, how exactly do you get tapped by the governor of Pennsylvania to have been appointed his banking secretary? Anyway? How does that really happen? Richard Vague (00:06:16) - Well, I served under Governor Thomas Wolf, a superb governor here at Pennsylvania. We kind of were both very familiar with each other, and I had already written a number of books on banking crises, including The Next Economic Disaster and A Brief History of Doom. And he had read those, and so much to my surprise, he showed up in my office one day and asked me if I'd consider it. Keith Weinhold (00:06:40) - Wow, that is really cool. Keith Weinhold (00:06:42) - All right. You kind of led with your writing in your books for making that happen. Richard, here's a big question that I have for you. At 8.1 billion people today is Earth's overpopulated or underpopulated? Richard Vague (00:06:58) - Well, there's a lot of very valid points on both sides of that. You know, there are a number of folks who decry the level of population we have because of its destructive impact on the environment. And there's a lot of folks that note that it's population growth that really has made our economic growth so vibrant. So there's a real contention on that issue. We tend not to take a position, but what we do know is as world population growth is slowing, which it clearly is, that is going to make economic growth much more challenging in a whole lot of places around the world, some of which you're actually starting to see population declines, like China. Keith Weinhold (00:07:46) - I want to get to that slowing growth in a moment. We talk about overpopulation versus under population. Some in the overpopulation camp thinking the world has too many people they're referred to as Malthusian, was named for Thomas Malthus, who in 1798 he said the world would exceed its agricultural carrying capacity and there was going to be mass starvation. Keith Weinhold (00:08:09) - Malthus was wrong. He didn't consider technological advancements. So I guess my point is the future can be really difficult to predict. Richard Vague (00:08:18) - Yeah. Without question. You know, the big innovation came in the early 1900s when we figured out how to synthetically manufacture of things like fertilizer, which allowed arable land area to increase dramatically. It kind of took them out of this equation off the table. Keith Weinhold (00:08:36) - Yes. With the mechanization of harvesting and the engineering of foods, there sure have been a lot of advancements there to help feed more people. And yeah, Richard, you talk about population decline. Of course, the world population overall is still growing, but its rate of growth is declining. So before we talk about the United States, you mentioned China. Why don't we discuss population decline more in global terms, where even nations like India are already struggling to exceed the replacement birth rate of 2.1? Richard Vague (00:09:10) - Yeah, I mean, it's a phenomenon that, you know, we haven't faced or perhaps even thought of for a couple hundred years because population growth accelerated so dramatically with the Industrial Revolution. Richard Vague (00:09:22) - We've really not known anything but rapid growth. And frankly, it's easier to grow businesses. And the economy is old. But now we're seeing places like China, Japan, Germany that are facing population declines in places like India, which, as you said, is comparatively a younger country. Nevertheless, facing this prospect as well, then in 1980, the average age in the US was 30. Today it's 38. In Germany I believe it's 48. So the world is getting old in a way that it had not previously in the industrial revolutionary period. Keith Weinhold (00:10:03) - I think a lot of people are aware that many parts of Europe, Japan, South Korea are in population decline or they're set up for population decline. But yes, some of these other nations that we think of as newer nations or growing nations, including India, are not forecast to. Grow in, Richard. Are we really down? Of course. There are a number of outliers. Are we down mostly to Africa that still have the high birth rates? Richard Vague (00:10:29) - As the world has become more urban, the need for more kids has declined. Richard Vague (00:10:35) - It's in an urban environment, become an expense rather than a benefit. So that alone accounts for the deceleration. And then you have folks that are getting married later, having kids later, and you simply can't have as many kids when those two things are true. So it's a combination of events, and there aren't that many places left that have higher birth rates. And even in Africa it's declining or decelerating. So the world's just moving in that direction. Keith Weinhold (00:11:06) - Yeah. It's really once we see the urbanization trend in a nation, what lags behind that are slowing birth rates, oftentimes birth rates that don't even meet death rates in some places. It kind of goes back to the Thomas Malthus thing again, if you will. When you don't have a family farm, you don't need nine kids to milk the cows and shuck the corn and everything else like that. You might live in a smaller urban apartment. Richard Vague (00:11:33) - But we're all just has it been thinking about this issue? And it's upon us now, and it's going to change everything from governments to handling debts to infrastructure to growth itself. Richard Vague (00:11:48) - So we need to start thinking about this issue much more deeply than we have. Keith Weinhold (00:11:54) - Is there any way that an economy can grow with a declining population, and how bad will it get? Richard Vague (00:12:02) - An economy will obviously struggle to grow if the population is declining, but the per capita GDP and increase as population declines. And in fact, we might see that early on in a population decline situation. I think that's actually been true in Japan over the last few years. The population is down, but GDP per capita is actually increasing slightly. So I think it's longer term. When you talk about trying to service the debt that we have amassed with the smaller population, that we're really going to have issues. Keith Weinhold (00:12:41) - Talk to us more about that. The servicing the debt part of a declining population. Richard Vague (00:12:48) - The debt doesn't shrink on its own, you know, so it tends to grow because, you know, it's accruing interest. Keith Weinhold (00:12:54) - It always seems to go one direction. Richard Vague (00:12:56) - It always pretty much only goes in one direction. So it's pretty simple. Richard Vague (00:13:00) - If you have growing debt and I'm talking about public debt and private debt, and you have a declining base to service that, you have more people in retirement who are not paying as much in the way of taxes. It's going to increase the challenge, and it may in fact, increase it considerably. As we look at a few decades. Keith Weinhold (00:13:21) - We need productivity to pay down debt that's more difficult to do in the declining population. We talk about technological advancements, some things that we cannot foresee. Did you sort of lead on to the fact that some of this might help us be more productive, even in a declining population, whether that's machine learning or robotics or AI? What are your thoughts there? Richard Vague (00:13:45) - That's something that's been predicted for quite some time. You know, if we look back not too far ago, economists were wondering what we were going to do with all of our free time, right? Because, you know, automate. And this goes back to the 20s and 30s and 40s what we do with all our free time. Richard Vague (00:14:01) - So we again have conversations along those lines. You know, it's not inconceivable that we could all be sitting there, you know, sipping our Mai tais, and the machines could be doing all the work for us. And servicing debt might be easy in that scenario, I doubt it. I don't think that's what's going to happen. Keith Weinhold (00:14:19) - The more technology advances, the more complex society gets. That continues to create jobs in places where we cannot see them. I mean, case in point here, in the year 2024, we're more technologically advanced than we've ever been in human history, obviously. Yet here in the United States, we have more open jobs than we even do people to fill them. Richard Vague (00:14:39) - Yeah. And I think one of the things that all of this does is increase the march of inequality. You have folks that master the technology become engineers, software engineers and the like that are going to be the huge beneficiaries of these trends. But folks that don't have the skill sets aren't going to benefit from these trends. Richard Vague (00:15:01) - And even though in aggregate, we may continue to see per capita GDP increase, our track record over the last few decades would suggest that inequality will increase just as markedly as it has in the past, so we'll have some societal issues to face. Keith Weinhold (00:15:19) - That's concerning as inflation. Continues to exacerbate inequality simultaneously, which we'll talk about later. But population decline is of concern to us as real estate investors because of course, we need rent paying tenants. So this could be pretty concerning to some. You've probably seen a lot of the same models that I have, Richard, let me know. In the United States, population is projected to increase for several decades by every single model that I've seen, maybe even until or after the year 2100. Richard Vague (00:15:53) - The projection is by 2050, we'll have about 380 something million people, and today we're at 330 million people. So clearly the population is going to continue. It's just kind of the relative portion of those populations. And what I think we're seeing, and you as real estate investors would know this better than I, is a shift towards the type of real estate out there. Richard Vague (00:16:19) - Right? So instead of new homeowner development, it's retirement development that I think is going to be the higher growth sector with the real estate industry. Keith Weinhold (00:16:31) - And we're surely going to see fewer offices be built, something that may never come back. And then when we talk about things like birth rates and population growth rates here in the real estate world, I sort of think of there as being a lag effect. It's really not so much about today's births in the United States, because people often rent their first place in their 20s, and then the average age of a first time homebuyer is an all time record high 36. And all those people are going to need housing into old age as well. So to me, it's sort of about, oh, well, how many people were born from the 1940s to the 1990s? Richard Vague (00:17:10) - Well, there's a very useful tool that's pretty easily available called the Population Pyramid. You can find that on the CIA World Factbook site for every country and including the United States. And it shows exactly what you're talking about, which is the number of folks, you know, between 0 and 10 years old and into 20 years old and so forth. Richard Vague (00:17:32) - So you can kind of make reasonable projections about the near term based on the data that the CIA World Factbook is kind enough for by I believe the UN has this data as well, so you can make informed judgments about the very thing you're talking about here, which is how many folks are in their 20s to over the next ten years versus the last ten years. Keith Weinhold (00:17:54) - Yeah, that's reassuring to real estate investors to know that we expect several decades of population growth in the United States. However, it may be slowing growth. So we talked about births, I mentioned deaths. Well, you tell us a bit more about immigration, something else that can be very difficult to project here in the real estate world that we have a popular analyst called John Byrne's research and Consulting. Their data shows that we had 3.8 million Americans added to our population last year, much of it through immigration. That's a jump of more than 1%, an all time record in our 248 year history in one year alone. So can you tell us, at least in the United States, a bit more about immigration in the calculus for population projections? Richard. Richard Vague (00:18:42) - Immigration is a huge factor in the demographics of every country in the US, from a pure population growth standpoint as benefited by in-migration, including illegal and migration. That is a positive comparison versus a lot of countries that are either more restrictive art is desirable destinations for immigration and the life. So it has benefited us from a pure population standpoint. But what we clearly see is there are cultural ramifications that are difficult for us to deal with. We have the percent of folks that are in the United States that were born in another country. It's the highest it's been, I think, at least in a century or more and perhaps ever, that is really difficult for the general population to absorb. We see this in the headlines every day. We see it the concern, we see it in the political rhetoric. It's a real issue. So you have a very real conflict between the economic benefits of immigration versus the cultural divisions that that immigration creates. And that's not going to be easy to digest or to resolve. I think we probably end up continuing to compromise, but it continues to be a political lightning rod right into the foreseeable future. Keith Weinhold (00:20:14) - And there are so many factors here. Where's our future immigrant diaspora? Is it in places in Latin America like Guatemala? In Honduras, in Colombia. And are those people going to come from there? So there are a lot of factors, many of which aren't very predictable, to take a look at our future population growth rate in the United States. We're talking with economic futurist, author and Pennsylvania's former secretary of banking and Securities, Richard Moore, and we come back on the affliction of inflation. This is general education. I'm your host, Keith Weintraub. Role under this specific expert with income property, you need Ridge lending Group and MLS 42056 in grey history, from beginners to veterans.

You know, I'll just tell you, for the most passive part of my real estate investing, personally, I put my own dollars with Freedom Family Investments because their funds pay me a stream of regular cash flow in returns, or better than a bank savings account, up to 12%. Keith Weinhold (00:21:44) - Their minimums are as low as 25 K. You don't even need to be accredited for some of them. It's all backed by real estate and that kind of love. How the tax benefit of doing this can offset capital gains and your W-2 jobs income. And they've always given me exactly their stated return paid on time. So it's steady income, no surprises while I'm sleeping or just doing the things I love. For a little insider tip, I've invested in their power fund to get going on that text family to 66866. Oh, and this isn't a solicitation. If you want to invest where I do, just go ahead and text family to six, 686, six. Speaker 4 (00:22:33) - This is author Jim Rickards. Listen to get Rich education with Keith Reinhold and don't quit your day dream. Keith Weinhold (00:22:49) - Welcome back to get Rich. So we're talking with economic futurist, author and Pennsylvania's former secretary of banking and securities. His name is Richard Vague. And Richard, before the break we talked about how many more people are there going to be on this earth. Keith Weinhold (00:23:03) - We know for sure that there's also the growth of the number of dollars in this nation. So we're talking about inflation here. You talk an awful lot about the affliction of inflation and the history of inflation. And I think a lot of people when we talk about the history of inflation, maybe we should begin chronologically. They don't realize that inflation wasn't always with us. Since the birth of this nation. Richard Vague (00:23:30) - We haven't had that many episodes of inflation. We look at it pretty hard. We see nine what we would consider nine instances of high inflation. Most of those have come with war. So we certainly had that. The Revolutionary War right of 1812 and the Civil War and World War one and World War two. But inflation has been brief, contained and rare in the history of Western developed nations. We had our bout in the 1970s that related to OPEC and the constraint of the oil supply. It normally relates to the decimation or constraint of the supplies and the supply chain. We saw it again with Covid. Richard Vague (00:24:17) - A lot of folks consider it to be a monetary phenomenon. We just don't see that in the data. Keith Weinhold (00:24:24) - So we talk about what causes these bouts of inflation. You talked about nine of them. Well, he talked to us more about why wars often create inflation. Of course we're trying to create a lot of supplies during wars, but they tend to be only certain types of supplies. Richard Vague (00:24:40) - World War One is a great example. Probably, you know, two thirds of the farms in Europe were decimated. So for a couple of years, there simply weren't the kind of crops that are needed for nutrition being grown in Europe, we Corps and the like. So the US had to, frankly, export something on the order of 20% of its crops to Europe to prevent starvation. Well, it's pretty easy to see that if the US if the supply has been decimated in Europe, we're having to ship, you know, a huge chunk of our crops to Europe, that the price of wheat and corn would go up. Richard Vague (00:25:21) - And that's exactly what happened. It's also pretty easy to see that as those farms came back on stream and began growing crops, that the price of wheat and corn would drop. And that's exactly what happened. So you have this relatively short lived period of 2 or 3 years where the decimation of supplies caused inflation, and that's fairly typical. Keith Weinhold (00:25:45) - Supply falls, demand exceeds supply and prices rise much like what happened with those Covid shortages, as you mentioned, what are the other major causes of inflation other than supply shortages that have caused these nine bouts of inflation? Richard Vague (00:26:03) - Well, let's talk about major developed countries, which I would include Western Europe, the United States predominantly. That's pretty much the only thing that has brought sustained high inflation is supply constraint. We don't see instances of high government debt growth or money supply growth ever causing inflation. Now when you get to smaller countries where they are borrowing in a foreign currency, where they have a trade deficit and where they yield to the temptation of printing too much money, and I don't mean by printing, we use that term in the United States, and it's absolutely a fictitious term. Richard Vague (00:26:50) - We don't print money in the United States. We have it printed money since the Civil War. So in a third world country, they can actually go to a printing press and start paying with cash for government supply needs. And you can see it very clearly when it happens and it very quickly leads to high inflation. You know, this is in places like Argentina and the like. So that would be the big issue in these countries. It's they borrow at a foreign currency. They have a trade deficit. They yield to the temptation of actually printing currency. It can get out of control pretty fast. Keith Weinhold (00:27:26) - It feels immoral. As soon as more currency is printed, it dilutes the purchasing power surreptitiously of all those people that are holding that currency. What about Richard? The government printing. And we can put printing in quote marks, say, $1 trillion to fund a new infrastructure program. A technically that is inflation if we. Go back to the root definition of inflation, inflation being an expansion of the money supply. Keith Weinhold (00:27:54) - But talk to us about how something like that does or does not dilute the purchasing power to fund, for example, a big infrastructure program. Richard Vague (00:28:03) - Well, it just never happens in Western developed economies. And one of the reasons it doesn't happen is the government issuance of debt does not increase the money supply by a nickel. If the government issues debt, it actually withdraws or shrinks the money supply because folks like you and me would buy the government security that reduces the number of deposits in the system. The government immediately turns around and spends exactly that amount. So the size of the money supply from government debt projects remains exactly the same. It doesn't increase. Keith Weinhold (00:28:42) - Does that act, however, increase our total absolute amount of national debt, which is currently $35 trillion? Richard Vague (00:28:51) - Of course it does. Absolutely. But the increase in our debt is money largely played to the households. So what normally happens is when the government's dead increases, household wealth increases by that amount or a greater amount. So take the pandemic. In a three year period, government debt increased by $8 trillion, which means its net worth declined by $1 trillion. Richard Vague (00:29:18) - Well, households were the beneficiaries of that household net worth in that three year period increased by $30 trillion. So, you know, net net, of course it increases their debt, but it dollar for dollar typically increases household wealth. Keith Weinhold (00:29:33) - That wealth effect can feel great for consumers and families in the short term. But doesn't increasing their income substantially in a short period of time drive up prices and create this debase purchasing power of the dollar? Richard Vague (00:29:46) - If we got our little green eyed shades out and went to try to find examples of that, we got a database of 49 countries that constituted 91% of the world's GDP. We just wouldn't find examples of that. And in the US, it's very easy to measure that. The number you're looking for is GDP. And we don't really see big cuts in GDP. You know, a wild swing in GDP would be 3.5% versus 2.5%. That's not a factor in any observable way. And what happens in inflation. Keith Weinhold (00:30:19) - Richard, the term that I think about with what's happened the past few years in this Covid wave of inflation is the word noticeable. Keith Weinhold (00:30:27) - People don't really talk about it. Consumers, families, they don't talk about inflation much when it's near its fed 2% target until it becomes noticeable. And now it's so obvious with what you see at the grocery store. So it's really infiltrated the American psyche in a way that it didn't five years ago. Richard Vague (00:30:45) - Inflation, even moderate inflation, is a highly consequential thing to the average American consumer. And two things happened to increase our inflation. Covid supply chains decimated supplies and kicked up prices. And then a second thing happened that was even more consequential. And that is Russia invaded Ukraine. And you had two countries that were, if you add them together among the largest providers or suppliers of oil and wheat, and almost instantly the price of oil and wheat and other goods skyrocketed. It was those two things, Covid, plus the invasion of Ukraine that drove our inflation up to 9% in June of 2022. Now, in July, it dropped to 3% and it stayed at 3% ever since. But we had already driven prices up in the prior year or two. Richard Vague (00:31:49) - And those prices even though the increases have moderated, those prices haven't come down right. Keith Weinhold (00:31:55) - Nor will. Richard Vague (00:31:55) - They. Now we have, you know, the threat of war again. So, you know, the price of oil just touch $90. Again, I would argue that, you know, it's going to be hard to see inflation come down. Much for like that 3 to 4 range because of the geopolitical situation. And one other thing that I would suggest is holding up inflation. And that's the Federal Reserve's interest rate. You know, if inflation is a measure of how expensive things are, high interest rates make things more expensive, right? Keith Weinhold (00:32:27) - It's an irony. Richard Vague (00:32:28) - It's almost exactly the opposite of what the orthodoxy at the Federal Reserve studies or believed. For whatever reason, if you're at an in an apartment in the apartment owner has leveraged their purchase of the apartments by 50 or 70 or 90% and their interest bill goes up, guess what? They have to. Charge you higher rate. I think some meaningful component of the stubbornness of inflation relates directly to the Federal Reserve's persistent interest rates. Richard Vague (00:33:00) - I think the best thing they could do would be to pull interest rates down 1 or 200 basis points. Keith Weinhold (00:33:07) - Well, that's interesting because the fed funds rate is pretty close to their long term average, and we still got inflation higher than their target. So tell us more about what you think is the best way out of this somewhat higher inflationary environment that we're still in Richard. Richard Vague (00:33:22) - Well two things. I think the geopolitical impact on oil prices is you. And I think the interest rate impact, particularly on real estate prices, is huge. Those are the two things holding up inflation. So if you wanted to improve inflation, you'd lower interest rates and then you'd run around the world trying to calm down these hot spots. And you'd have 2% inflation. Keith Weinhold (00:33:47) - Coming from some people's point of view, including the Fed's. If you lower interest rates you would feel inflationary pressures. So then go ahead and debunk this because the conventional wisdom is when you lower interest rates. Oh well now for consumers, you don't incentivize them to save as much because they wouldn't be earning much interest. Keith Weinhold (00:34:06) - And if rates to borrow become lower, then you're incentivizing more people to borrow and spend and run up prices in fuel the economy. So what's wrong with that model? Richard Vague (00:34:16) - Well, there's no empirical support for it. In 1986, when inflation dropped to 2%, interest rates were in the highest interest rates had been coming down by, you know, almost a thousand basis points over the prior 3 or 4 years. Money supply growth was 9%. So the two things the fed says are most the biggest contributors to rising inflation were both amply present when inflation dropped to 2%. So I just can't find any data to support the Fed's theory. And by the way, that data is not esoteric. That data is really readily available. You and I can go look at it. It's not a complicated equation. But over the last 40 years, in what at the age I call the great debt explosion, aggregate debt and the economy in 1981 was 125% of GDP. Today it's 260% of GDP and almost that entire 40 something year span. Richard Vague (00:35:21) - Inflation and interest rates went down. Somebody, somewhere is going to have to show me the evidence for me to believe what the fed is canonical, which is almost a sacred balloon. Keith Weinhold (00:35:33) - Well, that's a good look at history. In fact, something I say on the show often is let's look at history. And what really happens over having a hunch on how we think that things should proceed. You mentioned some inflation figures there. Why don't we wrap up inflation? Richard was talking about today's inflation measures. We've got the producer price index, the PPI, the widely cited CPI, which I recognize what you were stating earlier. And then of course there's the Fed's preferred measure, the core PCE, the core personal consumption expenditures. Richard, it's also funny to me when any measure is called core, it's core when they remove the food and energy inputs because those things are said to be too volatile. And of course, not only is food and energy essential, but what's more core than that? So perhaps the core rate should be called the peripheral rate. Keith Weinhold (00:36:22) - But in any case, do you have any comments on the measures of inflation that are used today? Richard Vague (00:36:28) - It's like you say, it's everything you just mentioned and more, because they're not just core inflation. There's something called super core, which I think is probably even more peripheral. Right. And I like your terminology better than the Fed's, but there's a lot of things to look at right now. They're all kind of coalescing around this at a low to mid 3% range. We got a new number coming out. It'll probably, you know here in the next few days. And it'll probably be a little bit higher than the last number, but we're talking about the difference to a 3.3% and 3.5%. And to me there's no difference between those two numbers. We were at 9%, as we just said, in June of 2022. And we're at a moderate level of inflation now after having suffered a rise in prices. It's not going to disappear. It's not fun, it's not comfortable, but it's moderate rabble. Richard Vague (00:37:22) - It's not a big drought. Keith Weinhold (00:37:24) - What's the right level of inflation in your opinion? Richard Vague (00:37:28) - Okay. Anything fundamentally wrong with the the 2% number that the fed saw I think, you know, at 3 to 4% were probably on the high end of, of what might be considered acceptable. But again, it's not the fact that it's 3% that's the problem. It's the fact that it was 6 to 9% for a couple of years. Yeah, that's the problem. It'll get take a while for everything to adjust to that. In the meantime, you know, with all bets are all that you know, there's if these wars get further out of control and we see 90, $200 oil prices again, we're only about we're 50% more efficient users of oil today than were were in the 1970s. We're still a little bit over dependent. Keith Weinhold (00:38:11) - Here at gray. I espouse how in everyday investor they can do more than merely hedge themselves against inflation, much like a homeowner with no mortgage would merely hedge themselves. But you can actually profit from inflation with a term that I've trademarked as the Inflation Triple Crown. Keith Weinhold (00:38:27) - I'd like to know what you think about it. The inflation Triple Crown means that you win with inflation three ways at the same time, and all that you need to do in order to make that happen is get a fixed rate mortgage on an income property. The asset price increase is the inflation hedge. The debt debasement on your mortgage loan, that's an inflation profiting center. Is inflation debases that down while the tenant makes the payment. And then thirdly, now rents might only track inflation, but your cash flow is actually a profit center over time too because it outpaces inflation. Since as the investor your biggest monthly expense that principal and interest stays fixed and inflation cannot touch that. That's the inflation triple Crown. It's available to almost anyone. You don't need any degree, your certification or real estate license. What are your thoughts on that? Profiting from inflation the way we do here I think you're absolutely correct. Richard Vague (00:39:22) - And I think you put it very, very well. And that's not just a trend at the individual property level. Richard Vague (00:39:28) - We studied macroeconomics and we look at aggregate real estate values. And frankly, real estate values rise as debt to GDP rises. The more money there is, the more my dollars are chasing real estate and the higher real estate prices will go. So it's absolutely been the gin to put it into numbers in 1980 household. Well, this a percent of GDP was about 350%. Today it's almost 600% most household wealth that in the form of just two things real estate and stocks in somewhat equal measure, that's 80 or 90% of also. Well, so if you wanted to make money over the last 40 years and presumably over the next 40 real estate, one of the two places you could go. Keith Weinhold (00:40:24) - Well, Richard, as we wind down here, you run a group that predicts financial crises. So I'd be remiss to let you go without asking you about it. We've had a prolonged inverted yield curve, and that's been a terrific track record as a recession predictor. Is a financial crisis imminent? Tell us your thoughts. Richard Vague (00:40:41) - No, it's not. The predictor of financial crises is a rapid rise in private sector debt in ratio to GDP. We saw it skyrocket in the mid 2000 and we got a crisis in zero eight. We saw it skyrocket in the 1980s and we got the crisis in 87. We saw it skyrocket in Japan in the late 1980s. And you got the crisis of the 90s. We saw it skyrocketed in the 1920s and we got the Great Depression. That is the predictor. You know, we've studied that across major economies over 200 years. There really are exceptions to that as it relates to financial crises. Our numbers right now on the private debt side have been very flat, and they've really been very flat since 2008. They actually got a little bit better in that period, and they've been very flat over the last few years. We're not looking at a financial crisis in the United States. Other parts can't say that China is looking at a they're well into a massive real estate crisis there. We see companies there crumbling, declaring bankruptcy. Richard Vague (00:41:53) - That's because they've had runaway private sector debt in China for the last ten years. And there's a few other countries that are facing that as well. Keith Weinhold (00:42:02) - A lot of Chinese overbuilding there during that run up to, well, if you, the follower, are into using history over hunches to help you predict the future, Richard Baig really is a terrific resource for that, as you can tell. So, Richard, why don't you let our audience know how they can follow you and learn more? Richard Vague (00:42:22) - You're so kind to say those words. We hope we provide something of value. You can get our weekly video if you go to join Dot Tycho's group.org and Tycho's is spelled E, ICOs, ICOs group. Or we send out a weekly five minute video because if you're like me, you have a short attention span and brevity is the soul of wit. I also have a book that came out recently called The Paradox of Debt. Yeah. Which, you know, covers a lot of the themes we've talked about here. You know, it'd be an honor to have anyone to pick up either. Keith Weinhold (00:42:58) - Well, Richard, it's been a terrific discussion on both population decline and inflation. It's been great having you back on the show. Richard Vague (00:43:05) - You have a great show. It's a privilege to be part of it. Thank you very much. Keith Weinhold (00:43:15) - Yeah, big thanks to Richard Vague. Today he hits things from a different angle. With population decline perhaps not taking place in the US until the year 2100. Of course, we need to add years to that. Real estate investors might not have falling population growth in that crucial household formation demographic age. Then until the year 2125, well, that would be 100 more years of growth from this point. And yeah, I pushed him on our inflation chart somewhat. Richard isn't the first person, though I have heard others maintain that lower interest rates also lower inflation, where most tend to believe that the opposite is true, including the fed. In any case, wars drive inflation because they create supply shortages. That was true over 100 years ago when World War one and today with Russia, Ukraine. Keith Weinhold (00:44:17) - I mean, is there any one factor that drives price increases more than supply shortages? The short supply of real estate itself is what keeps driving prices. And Richard asks us to look where some don't. That is that real estate values rise as debt to GDP rises. In his opinion, there is no financial crisis imminent. We need to see a rapid rise in private sector debt in proportion to GDP first. And you know what's remarkable about this economic slowdown or recession that still hasn't come, but it's been erroneously predicted by so many. It's the fact that recessions are often self-fulfilling prophecies. People have called on a recession for the last year or two. And that mere forecast alone that tends to make real estate investors think, well, then I won't buy the property because my tenant might lose their job in a recession. And businesses don't hire when everyone says a recession is coming. That's exactly how a recession becomes self-fulfilling. And despite two years of that, it still hasn't happened. That's what's remarkable. Anyone sitting on the sideline keeps losing out again. Keith Weinhold (00:45:37) - You can follow Richard. Big Tycho's is spelled Tycho's. Follow a joint Tycho's group.org.

Over the last century, economic growth, as measured by increases in countries' Gross Domestic Product, has been the key indicator of success. And while GDP has skyrocketed in many countries, so has fossil fuel use, deforestation, and the destruction of natural ecosystems. On top of that, inequality has actually gotten worse in many countries and incomes, adjusted for inflation, have stagnated for many parts of these "growing" economies. It seems this relentless focus on growth has not created the kind of world that most people want to live in. Professor Giorgos Kallis is an ecological economist, political ecologist, and Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies Professor at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology in Barcelona. He's also the author of several books about degrowth economics - the field of economics that questions the insatiable need for growth and seeks an alternative societal structure that supports everyone, regardless of a country's ability to grow GDP. Professor Kallis joins the show to talk about degrowth economics and why it is critical to achieve the degrowth goals if we want to reduce the negative impacts of the climate crisis. We also discuss the role that 18th century philosopher and theologian Thomas Malthus had on modern economics, why he was so wrong about inequality and limits, and some of the ideas that get attributed to him that weren't actually his. Check out these two books by Professor Kallis: "The Case for Degrowth" "Limits: Why Malthus Was Wrong and Why Environmentalists Should Care" As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

Who is Thomas Malthus and why should you care? Well most of the nonsense that is widely accepted now for population control started somewhere. As always, if you want a large portion of a population to accept something there must be an ideological subversion first. Let's talk about how the elites have convinced women that abortion is empowerment and that corporations “care sooooo much” about women and health care. It's a hot take folks!As always, don't forget to spread the fire!!!

In this episode, we look back to the 1790's when the world's population had reached one billion and Thomas Malthus introduced his theory that the world was facing sever famines and starvation. Then we move to the 1960's when the world's population reached three billion and Paul Ehrlich wrote a book titled: Population Bomb.
Mr. Morial is the former mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana, and current President and CEO of the National Urban League. The National Urban League is a civil rights group that promotes equality, social justice, and economic empowerment. The National Urban League spearheads social programs, public policy research, and advocacy efforts in over 300 communities across the U.S. to shrink the wealth gap in underserved communities. Through a combination of education, entrepreneurship, and job training, the National Urban League looks to create self-reliance and reinvigorate small- and medium-sized cities. Many thinkers believe that the best indication of a society's development is its ability to increase population. If population is increasing, that means there are sufficient resources, from food, water, or income, to support life. In 1798, Thomas Malthus, a famous economist from the 19th century, published his seminal work, An Essay on the Principle of Population. Here, Malthus theorized how increased agricultural production led to a higher population, but not necessarily improved standards of living; this is known as the Malthusian Trap. To Arthur Lewis, a Nobel-winning economist from the 20th century, population growth was a necessary prerequisite for the improvement of living conditions. Once food production was capable of increasing population, people would begin flocking towards cities, which would then improve living standards as they became hubs of investment. Lewis termed this dynamic the Lewis Turning Point. Today, some thinkers, such as Esther Duflo, a leading development economist, are rethinking the Malthusian Trap or the Lewis Turning Point, trying to understand how people in cities grow out of poverty and advance their standard of living. Cities are economic hubs for the United States. They are often centers of population, jobs, resources, transportation, finance, healthcare, or even social services. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, small- and medium-sized metro areas, make up about 90% of the United States' GDP. When I say cities, everyone is probably thinking of Chicago, New York, or San Francisco; but these are just the biggest, most memorable ones. America is also comprised of hundreds of smaller cities that, taken together, are an important part of America's economic engine. As of 2022, there are 263 urban centers with populations between 100,000-300,000 people. These are places like Worcester, Massachusetts, Pasadena California, or Odessa, Texas. 59 urban centers have populations between 300,000 to 1 million. This includes cities like San Antonio, Texas, Memphis, Tennessee, or places like New Orleans, Louisiana, where our guest was born and raised. Needless to say, these cities can be forgotten when it comes to public policy or investment. Everyone thinks of those big flashy cities like New York or San Francisco, while the others are left behind. Our guest today spoke not just of the importance of cities, but how we can make them better places to develop better standards of living for everyone. Mr. Morial earned his bachelor's degree in African American Studies and Economics from the University of Pennsylvania and his JD from Georgetown University. Together, we discussed how living conditions in New Orleans changed since Mr. Morial's mayorship, how many cities across the US face similar deterioration, and how the country can produce transformative development for future generations.

In this episode, Michael speaks with Billie Turner II, Regents Professor at the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University. Billie holds other positions as well, including Distinguished Global Futures Scientist at the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory, also at Arizona State, member of the US National Academy of Sciences, and Associate Editor of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Billie is a geographer and human-environmental scientist who studies land use and land cover change from prehistory to the present, and he has also contributed to our understanding of the determinants of social vulnerability and resilience. He works on deforestation, primarily in Mexico and Central America, and urban design in arid environments, especially the American Southwest. Michael and Billie talk about two topics that Billie has written on, one being the reasons for the decline of a lowland Maya population around the years 800 to 1000, and the other being a long-standing debate between Thomas Malthus, who predicted that exponential population growth would inevitably outstrip linear growth in resources, and Esther Boserup, who argued that population-induced scarcity would motivate the necessary innovations to avoid systematic decline. The interview concludes with a discussion of the book that Billie recently wrote, entitled: The Anthropocene, 101 Questions and Answers for Understanding the Human Impact on the Global Environment.

This week David talks to science writer Meehan Crist about Thomas Malthus and the perennial question of overpopulation. Malthus wrote 225 years ago and was wrong about almost everything, yet his ideas still have a powerful hold on our imaginations and our fears. How many people is too many? What are the limits of population in the age of climate change? And why does Elon Musk think we should all be having more children?Thomas Malthus, ‘An Essay on the Principle of Overpopulation' (1798) Meehan Crist's 2020 LRB lecture, ‘Is it OK to Have a Child?'Sign up to LRB Close Readings:Directly in Apple: https://apple.co/3pJoFPqIn other podcast apps: lrb.supportingcast.fm Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of MSU Today, we're talking about agricultural innovation That's an area in which Michigan State University is a worldwide powerhouse. The world's population is growing, and climate change is continuing to impact the crops we need to feed that growing population. The world's population is expected to increase by 50 percent in the next century, and demand for agriculture crops is expected to more than double by 2050. Our panel includes three distinguished Michigan State University Professors: Felicia Wu, Bruno Basso, and Federica Brandizzi. (Photo credit: Nick Schrader, University Communications)Conversation highlights:(2:11) – “One of the goals is to help people benefit from the innovation we generate here at Michigan State and be able to scale it across the globe.”(6:49) – “It is generally projected that we will have about 10 billion people on earth in the year 2050.”(11:14) – “Especially working in the U.S., there's a strong demand by the farmers to be able to say that if there is a technology that I need to adopt to make a difference on the environment, that needs to be profitable.”(15:12) – “The grand challenge that the center (GLBRC) is trying to address is to produce plants that are fortified in a way that they can produce more biomass and high-quality biomass for subsequent processing and production of biofuels and bioproducts. We must make sure that we can produce feed stock for the sustainable bioenergy that doesn't come at the cost of production of food.”(17:30) – “One of the biggest challenges is to be able to see the technology developed at a pace that doesn't take a long time to be implemented and commercialized. We don't have that timeframe anymore. We have about a little less than seven years at this current rate of emission before we reach 1.5 degrees warming and about 24 years until we reach two degrees warming with the projection of detrimental impacts on the extreme events of deluge and high temperatures.”(20:58) – “We have been planting transgenic or genetically modified crops in the United States and around the world since 1996. Gene editing can be used in the future to create crops that are not only resistant to pests but might have higher concentrations of nutrients, might be resistant to high temperatures or to drought or to heavy rainfall, or they might be able to resist being planted, for example, in soil that has a high concentration of salt.”(23:34) – “The biggest challenge and opportunity is always to keep a focus on responsibility. We have the responsibility, I believe, to make sure that first, everybody on this planet has food available. We really must make sure that the priorities are always straight. We have the responsibility to make sure that basic human rights are protected and there is access to food and clean water. Science can influence so many sectors.”(26:14) – “Attempting to produce lab grown meat has gone on for about two decades. The problem is that right now to produce one fully sized hamburger costs $330,000 because of the sheer technological difficulties. But if there is a way that we could improve the economies of scale and improve the technologies, then there would be benefits in terms of animal welfare, ethics, and reduced climate change emissions because producing livestock and poultry does emit a fair amount of greenhouse gases. Right now, the costs are not there, but the potential promise is large.”(29:05) – We must be apologetic in the face of the next generation because we prioritized growth versus sustainable development. And that is changing.”(30:36) – “I think back to the philosopher Thomas Malthus in the 1700's who claimed that the human population is growing exponentially, but food production is growing linearly. So, over time we're not going to be able to feed our global population and human society is just going to collapse. And that Malthusian theory has been stated again and again over the last 200 plus years. And thankfully it has never come to pass. Human ingenuity has always come up with new ways to provide for our society. But it's not just about growing, growing, growing. Now we need to think about sustainability. We really do need to have that as a cornerstone of everything we think about in the space of agriculture, food production, and human health. We can't keep growing forever.”(32:03) – “I've found this to be the case that MSU is a very collaborative institution. I've been at other institutions before MSU, and it was wonderful to be at those places as well. But ever since having arrived at MSU 10 years ago, I've just found that people are willing to collaborate not just in my two departments, but pretty much all over the university. There's a lot of excitement around that. I'm part of multiple different projects across MSU and other institutions and I think that's one of MSU's greatest strengths, our collaborative nature.”(33:22) – “Michigan State gives us the tools to meet and work together. I know that I am backed by my university and have the institutional support that makes a world of difference. MSU fosters that collaborative ethos. Scientists in general want to collaborate, but MSU provides the means and the structure to make us collaborative.”(35:45) –Sustainability is a process. It's a process of making sure that the inputs match the outputs in a circular way. And so we can produce what we can eat and we shouldn't go beyond that. That is what makes us sustainable.”(38:40) – “Sustainability introduces the idea of time. Whether we make decisions as individuals or as companies or institutions, it's not just about what will be best for us in the short term, but how this would affect us five to 10 years or even longer down the road. How will this affect our children, our children's children, and generations to come?”(40:10) – “Trust science. Science doesn't have a second agenda. Climate change poses a real risk. We can't just think about our backyard. It's a serious threat. Because of the innovation that we constantly aim to produce and often deliver through MSU innovation, technologies, or the possibility of packaging these new ideas into something that is basically adoptable across the globe brings me a level of optimism.” (41:18) – “Because I'm a mom, I want to think about the fact that there is a good future ahead and I'm contributing to that. And my contribution wouldn't be possible without the collective help and input from everybody else in any scale from kids who recycle to the big corporations that stop thinking about the profit and more about mankind and sustainable future.”Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

Ginorio"Human life is special because we are the only as yet known self-aware beings in the universe. While on this world arguments can be made that certain whales, dolphins, chimpanzees, bonobos, elephants, octopi, ravens, hive insects, and even now a few computers possess some form of non-human intelligence, only we Homo Sapiens Sapiens are known to be fully sentient.By the principles that governs economics, scarcity confers value. One of gold's qualities, along with beauty, that makes it precious is that it is encountered infrequently. Uncommon items and services always command a great price in proportion to their rarity.In all the known universe, we have not encountered signs of life, let alone intelligent life. Could it be possible that, in all of creation, only we are awake to our own existence?!Perhaps, though I think this unlikely. The sheer scope of our own galactic spiral arm, let alone that of our Milky Way galaxy, its orbiting Magellanic Clouds, the rest of our local galactic cluster, and the near-infinite number of galactic superclusters makes this terribly unlikely.So, while I personally believe that we are not alone, I acknowledge that in this moment our civilization has no proof of this. As far as we can prove, our species may be the only thinking, remembering, and planning race of beings.That makes us precious, because we may be unique.Even if we eventually encounter nonhuman minds, they are likely to be so different from us that our uniqueness will persist. Set against alien mentalities, the particularities of our distinct human perspectives will still likely be unparalleled.We have actually already encountered this phenomena. Within the past six centuries, as our European and Judeo-Christian Western Civilization encountered the locally evolved cultures and civilizations that existed beyond Europe, unbridgeable gulfs of assumption sundered the Earth's scattered iterations of human society.Consider how fundamentally different were the habits, manners, beliefs, and institutions of Muromachi Japan from those of the Iroquois Confederacy; how the Khmer differed from the Incas. Even within regions, mutually exclusive cultural predispositions proliferated, as with the Mughals and the Ming, the Mongols and the Arabs, the Tahitians and the Aborigines.We human beings ARE alien to one another. It is our un-reflected-upon cultural values that determine the meaning of everything we encounter. As such, there is a value in preserving the stories, languages, and folkways of cultures that are in the process of being erased by contact with the wider world. Consider how thoroughly human cultures might melt in the presence of an interstellar civilization thousands of years more advanced than the Earth's apex culture.Unique human cultures and subcultures should be preserved because of their unique understandings of life, the universe, and everything. Without their insights, our shared understanding would be incomplete.However, we are increasingly beset by the sheer numbers of our fellow man. Human population has exploded since World War II, when the United States led the West in openly sharing modern medical and agricultural technologies with the undeveloped world. American and allied Universities have disseminated advanced knowledge as our government and businesses have shared sophisticated products.One result is that societies who never developed industrial and post-industrial resources now have them. These modern blessings are killing the Third World.For example, it took Europe centuries of slow growth, plus the first century of industrial development, to alter the size of the average family. The quantity of children was reduced as the chance for survival for each child increased. In the modern epoch, the West stabilized at a rate of slow population growth in accord with our society's growing wealth and expectations.On the other hand, many cultures around the world equate male value with the number of boys that a man fathers. More boys equates to higher status and to greater respect. Over the past eighty years, there has been no significant reduction in these pre-industrial birth rates to conform to changed circumstances.We are seeing the world's human population doubling itself in increasingly short intervals. Unchecked, this will finally outrun our technological advances in food production and medicine. If nothing changes, we face the apocalyptic overpopulation crisis predicted by Thomas Malthus centuries ago.As uncommon as humanity is in our universe, individual human beings are uncomfortably common. Just as rarity confers value, overabundance undermines it.Today, our would-be social engineers see this population crisis as the greatest threat facing our world. Their climate crisis language all adds up to their conviction that the uncontrolled proliferation of human life must be stopped.This is why Western elites like Claus Schwab's World Economic Forum advocate policies that must inevitably destroy human rights and freedom. If the West devolves into a new technocratic feudalism, the overpopulating human herd could be culled.Without liberty, enterprise withers. Without recognized inalienable God-given rights, the individual becomes subsumed into the mass. By restricting our food supply, our access to medicine, and the quality of our education, everyday people in the West will be reduced to the status of Serfs.A distinct West will dissolve into a new global dependency, where technocrats will rule over us without restriction. They will call all of this necessary for the sustainability of humanity; for the good of the planet.This all derives from pride, intensified to the point of hubris. These elites have sloughed off all humility, all reference to the lodestone of the transcendent values of the Judeo-Christian West.As they deny the existence of God, they can play at being gods. Without hope of heaven or fear of hell, there are no limits to the extent they will go in service to their ambitions. Without genuine connections by love and family to the rest of humanity, these elites increasingly see themselves as a natural aristocracy; as a people apart with a manifest destiny to rule.This disconnection from our shared humanity is coupled by their lack of humility before the imponderable mysteries of creation. Like Communists before them, today's elites are dedicated to the use of the structures of authority to remold human life. They have a solution to the problems of humanity. Their solution is control; control over speech, the economy, and over thought itself.What they lack is faith: faith that there is more in heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in their philosophies; faith in a God who is both loving and involved in history. They lack faith in the virtues of common human beings; faith in the unpredictable possibilities of unfettered human imagination.In their arrogant fervor to save the planet, they have stripped themselves of any real capacity to believe in mysteries of existence that are beyond their powers to identify, quantify, and control. They truly have come to see themselves as being apart from the rest of us, above the rest of us, and responsible for the rest of us.In separating themselves from other flesh-and-blood human beings beyond their circle of peers and servants, these wealthy, knowledgeable, and influential people have lost their essential humanity.We, who are beyond these elites, must not! We must each endeavor to revive the special status of human life. We must recall our rarity in the universe even as we contend with the cultural challenges of overpopulation.This should start with the most powerless among us. No unborn child should be seen as a mere extension of the mother's body. When we abandoned our insistence that the unborn were in fact human beings, we sowed the seeds of what could be our own destruction.Every human life matters! When the rights and dignity of anyone is diminished, we are all threatened. No one must be sacrificed in a latter-day blood-rite to serve the ambitions of another.We must face today's problems with faith in God, hope beyond reason, and trust in the possibilities of the unshackled creativity of free men and women. We must reject fear. We must not despair! We must each be prisoners of hope!***In Maine and then Idaho, Ralph K.

Strange and thought provoking episode today! In the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, animal behavior researcher John B Calhoun ran a number of experiments on rodents regarding how their behavior would be affected by increased urbanization if all their basic needs were made. The results were terrifying. Crowded rats and mice became increasingly violent and lost their reproductive instincts to the point that eventually, the utopia went extinct after enduring a final phase full of random violent attacks, apathy, cannibalism and more. Could the increased urbanization of humanity also lead to our species' extinction as Calhoun warned? Or are we humans too different from rodents to presume that what happens to mice and rat would also happen to humans? I found today's episode one of the most thought provoking we've done in quite some time. Hope you do too!

Nous sommes en 1792. Pierre François de Goesin, un Gantois, imprimeur de sa majesté pour le Comté de Flandre, sort de ses presses un volume de 162 pages portant pour titre « Mémoires sur les grandes gelées et leurs effets ; où l'on essaie de déterminer ce qu'il fait croire de leurs retours périodiques, et de la gradation , en plus ou en moins, du froid de notre globe ». L'ouvrage est signé par l'abbé Mann et il paraît à la suite d'une approbation et d'un privilège de l'Académie impériale et royale des sciences et belles-lettres de Bruxelles. Dans son travail, l'auteur évoque « le changement successif de la température et du terroir des climats », ce qui en fait un précurseur qui s'interroge sur les causes des phénomènes observés : naturelles ou humaines ? Mais qui est l'abbé Mann ? Théodore Mann, né en Angleterre, devenu moine à Nieuport et membre d'une vénérable et influente institution qui entendait « bannir l'ignorance et les suites qu'elle entraîne ». Nous sommes au siècle des Lumières et les sciences font concurrence à la théologie. Homme de foi, Théodore Mann est un infatigable curieux : il s'intéresse à la congélation de l'eau de mer, dénonce les pratiques destructrices de la pêche sur la biodiversité, développe des thèses démographiques qui annonce le contrôle de la natalité que prônera, plus tard, Thomas Malthus. Mais l'abbé Mann est aussi un homme dont la personnalité est nimbée de mystère. Il connaîtra la célébrité et aussi la suspicion. Pourquoi faut-il y prêter attention, aujourd'hui ? Invitée : Muriel Collart, collaboratrice scientifique de l'Université libre de Bruxelles. Co-fondatrice de la Société wallonne d'étude du XVIIIe siècle. Autrice de : « Théodore Mann, Savoir et Pouvoir – Un théoricien du climat à l'Académie de Bruxelles » ; éd. de l'Académie royale de Belgique, coll. «Regards.
Today, Dr. Veltmeyer addresses the population control and population-reducing schemes of the global elites who seem to worship at the knee of the long-deceased and completely discredited British economist Thomas Malthus. Dr. Veltmeyer brilliantly "connects the dots" between Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, "climate change," the COVID "vaccines," global famine, transgenderism, forced abortion and contraception policies and the elites' desire to radically reduce the world's population per Malthusian dictates.Support the show
Shoshana Grossbard, Economist, Professor, Editor, Becker's StudentI recently volunteered to teach a new class on the history of economic thought and it has been profoundly rewarding for me. I love economics but I also love the stories of its players, my tribe, the economists. This person critiquing that person, this idea twisting around that other persons idea. The idea I might get paid to study people like Adam Smith and Thomas Malthus? Pinch me — I must be dreaming. What's been interesting to me is how much I recognize. Even though I have never read Malthus theory of gluts before, it's somehow eerily familiar. But it's more than just seeing the traces of later theories in these early writers. Reading history is also helping reframe the broad story of economics itself — the story of capitalism, its tensions, the conflicts between people, the appropriation and division of surplus, and the organization accomplished through markets and exchange. Reading history helps makes sense of me and others when I see the full sweep of the times and the debates. But some people are remembered, some people aren't. Some ideas were dropped and some hung around. Sometimes they were omitted because the theories while useful and intriguing explanations then were not as useful as another explanation that would replace it. That process of what we remember and what we forget happens at all levels, big and small, and it too is part of the story of economics in a way. This idea that now long gone economists were once in their offices working earnestly on ideas we have collectively chosen to ignore and forget is not itself tragic, though. Nor is what was selected to persist glorious. Both simply are. Most of the things I have chosen or done in fact no one will ever know. Most of the words I have said, no one was present to hear. History has forgotten more than it has remembered. Nevertheless I want to know. I want to learn all the stories, all the people, all the ideas, all the ways that ideas are forged and changed and kept and passed around. I know that it sounds a bit dramatic to say “My people”. What a strange way to self identify. And yet it is genuine. I am an economist. It will say in my tombstone that I was an economist even. I am more an economist than I am almost any other thing. So perhaps that's why I care about the stories of the economists — the people and the ideas. I care about the people too. I care especially about the stories that for one reason or another would simply never be told were we not to ask and listen with open mind and accepting hearts, the hallmark of curiosity. I see my podcast as a way to collect the stories of people whose stories don't show up in the footnotes of our textbooks. I do it around topics I care about like causal inference, economists in tech, and public policy. And one of the series I have been doing I call “Becker's students”. I chose Gary Becker because it was Becker's Nobel prize speech more than any other intellectual experience I had that prompted me to get a PhD in economics. He has cast a massive shadow over me. And my series so far has included interviews with two of his former students from when he was a professor at Columbia University: Robert Michael and Michael Grossman. But this week I am talking with one of his students from the University of Chicago where he spent the majority of his career. My guest this week is Shoshana Grossbard, professor of economics at San Diego State University, and editor of Review of Economics of the Household. This interview was one of the best interview experiences I have had yet. Shoshana was honest, warm, and most of all very candid about her career, about the history of household economics, the things that had major impacts on her, but also the discouragements in her career. That she would share both the highs and lows as well as her thoughts about economics as a science and its practitioners so transparently with me of all people was deeply humbling for me. You will learn that Becker was an important figure for her, not surprisingly as he was her advisor, but like many important people to us who we've known for years, the relationship was also a complicated one. His influence cast a long shadow over who she chose to become, and I appreciated that she was so forthright. I hope you like this interview too. Please tell others about it!

Shoshana Grossbard, Economist, Professor, Editor, Becker's StudentI recently volunteered to teach a new class on the history of economic thought and it has been profoundly rewarding for me. I love economics but I also love the stories of its players, my tribe, the economists. This person critiquing that person, this idea twisting around that other persons idea. The idea I might get paid to study people like Adam Smith and Thomas Malthus? Pinch me — I must be dreaming. What's been interesting to me is how much I recognize. Even though I have never read Malthus theory of gluts before, it's somehow eerily familiar. But it's more than just seeing the traces of later theories in these early writers. Reading history is also helping reframe the broad story of economics itself — the story of capitalism, its tensions, the conflicts between people, the appropriation and division of surplus, and the organization accomplished through markets and exchange. Reading history helps makes sense of me and others when I see the full sweep of the times and the debates. But some people are remembered, some people aren't. Some ideas were dropped and some hung around. Sometimes they were omitted because the theories while useful and intriguing explanations then were not as useful as another explanation that would replace it. That process of what we remember and what we forget happens at all levels, big and small, and it too is part of the story of economics in a way. This idea that now long gone economists were once in their offices working earnestly on ideas we have collectively chosen to ignore and forget is not itself tragic, though. Nor is what was selected to persist glorious. Both simply are. Most of the things I have chosen or done in fact no one will ever know. Most of the words I have said, no one was present to hear. History has forgotten more than it has remembered. Nevertheless I want to know.

Around the year 1800, a man by the name of Thomas Malthus popularized a theory that would from then on be known as Malthusianism. The idea being that as population increases, the resources necessary to sustain it dwindle until you reach a population crash; ie: starvation, famine and death. People called this the "Malthusian Trap". But, modern PhD - Marian Tupy - has proposed an updated formula that counters Malthus' bleak predictions. And, actually makes a strong case for an optimistic future that doesn't require a population crash or depopulation at all! ----- This episode is made possible by: The Canadian Story podcast: https://www.thecanadianstory.com/ Take Back Alberta - TBA - : https://t.me/takebackalberta and BioPro+: https://bioproteintech.com/product/biopro-plus ----- Subscribe to the Social Disorder Substack to get all the links, extras and info for the podcast you just listened to: https://thesocialdisorder.substack.com/
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Rhodri Davies on why he's not an EA, published by Sanjay on August 18, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Rhodri Davies is a smart, reasonable, and well-respected commentator on philanthropy. Many people who follow charity and philanthropy in the UK (outside of EA) are familiar with his blog. He also has a background in maths and philosophy at Oxford (if I remember correctly) so he's exactly the sort of person that EA might attract, so it should be of interest to the EA movement to know why he didn't want to sign up. The critique that I most liked was the one entitled "Is EA just another in a long line of attempts to “rationalise” philanthropy?" I've copied and pasted it below. Rhodri has spent a lot of time thinking about the history of philanthropy, so his perspective is really valuable. Is EA just another in a long line of attempts to “rationalise” philanthropy? The dose of historical perspective at the end of the last section brings me to another one of my issues with EA: a nagging suspicion that it is in fact just another in a very long line of efforts to make philanthropy more “rational” or “effective” throughout history. The C18th and early C19th, for instance, saw efforts to impose upon charity the principles of political economy (the precursor to modern economics which focused on questions of production, trade and distribution of national wealth – as exemplified in the work of writers such as Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo). Then in the C19th and early C20th the Charity Organisation Society and Scientific Philanthropy movements waged war on the perceived scourge of emotionally driven “indiscriminate giving”. Charity Organization Society, by Henry Tonks 1862-1937. (Made available by the Tate Gallery under a CC 3.0 license http://www.tate.org.uk/art/work/T11004) This perhaps bothers me more than most people because I spend so much of my time noodling around in the history of philanthropy. It also isn't a reason to dismiss EA out of hand: the fact that it might have historical precedents doesn't invalidate it, it just means that we should be more critical in assessing claims of novelty and uniqueness. It also suggests to me that there would be value in providing greater historical context for the movement and its ideas. Doing so may well show that EA is genuinely novel in at least some regards (the idea of total cause agnosticism, for instance, is something that one might struggle to find in previous attempts to apply utilitarian thinking to philanthropy). But the other thing the history of philanthropy tends to show is that everyone thinks at the time that their effort to make giving “better” or “more rational” is inherently and objectively right, and it is often only with the benefit of hindsight that it becomes clear quite how ideologically driven and of their time they actually are. For my money, it is still an open question as to whether future historians will look back on EA in the same way that we look back on the Charity Organisation movement today. The other thing that historical perspective brings is the ability to trace longer-term consequences. And this is particularly important here, because efforts to make charity more “rational” have historically had an unfortunate habit of producing unintended consequences. The “scientific philanthropy” movement of the early 20th century, for instance (which counted many of the biggest donors and foundations of the era among its followers) had its roots in the 19th century charity organisation societies, which were primarily concerned with addressing inefficiency and duplication of charitable effort at a local level, and ensuring that individual giving was sufficiently careful to distinguish between ‘deserving' and undeserving' cases (as outlined further in this previous article). Over time, how...
Droughts in Europe, resource-wars and global warming got us thinking about Thomas Malthus and his observations about population. Can we square the world's finite resources with the demands of 7 billion wannabe consumers? We talk positive checks, why hunter gathers were taller and ate better than the first farmers, plus the big Malthusian warning from the past, the Irish Famine. In the past two hundred years ,the world prized itself free of the Malthusian Trap via technology; could we be about to fall back into the grip of Malthus?

On this ID the Future from the vault, catch the first half of a public talk by political scientist John West on how Darwinism has poisoned Western culture. In the lecture, delivered at the Dallas Conference on Science & Faith, West explores how Darwin's purely materialistic theory of evolution drained meaning from nature, undercut the idea of inherent human dignity, and fueled the rise of scientific racism in the twentieth century. West is author of Darwin Day in America: How Our Politics and Culture Have Been Dehumanized in the Name of Science. Source
Darrell Castle talks about the evil globalists who seem to have so much influence over governments and the organizations that are suppose to serve them and now appear to be intentionally inducing famine across the world. Transcription / Notes MALTHUS WAS WRONG BUT FAMINE IS STILL IN OUR FUTURE Hello this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. I will be talking about the evil globalists who seem to have so much influence in the world today. Influence over governments and the organizations that are supposed to serve them. Population reduction through famine, war, disease, and civil disorder seems to be all part of their plans for humanity. Only a small population of compliant people can be cataloged, monitored, and controlled like animals and that appears to be what the world is giving these monsters. Thomas Malthus was an English economist who lived in the late 1700's and early 1800's. He developed a theory about population and food and people who adhere to his theory are even today referred to as Malthusians. He predicted that famine was the inevitable byproduct of agriculturally successful populations. His idea was that as populations advanced in agricultural ability they would grow faster as they produced more food and inevitably, they would eventually out produce their food supply and starve. Malthus predicted this result was unavoidable though tragic. We know today that he was wrong because the population of the earth is many times what it was in his day and yet, here we are. Technology and modern agricultural techniques would allow the entire earth to be well fed if only the globalists and their toadies would leave us alone. I will call them globalists for lack of a better word, but that requires a bit of explaining. I use the word globalist to define a group of people who believe it is their right, their destiny to catalog, control and manage the world's population. To be able to do that the population has to be drastically reduced which requires and justifies the killing of perhaps billions of people. Population control has been an issue for decades at least, but the difference is that now they have the technology to finally do it. This is the generation, and the moment that the globalists have been waiting for. They are carrying out their agenda of population control at the same time they continue their goal of digital ID that allows tracking and monitoring of every person and every transaction on earth with the resulting control of entire populations as per the Chinese Social Credit System. You get a reward if you are a good little boy or girl, and you get punished if you are not. This allows the population to be killed off and still controlled if they object. Just a few examples of how the world is following the Chinese example which I believe is first because of its massive population already controlled by a small ruling elite. In Sri Lanka, which was food independent, but is now totally dependent because of changes in farming caused by those in control supposedly worried about climate change. Monster, I argue, is a perfectly reasonable word describe those who would starve their own populations. The starving people charged the government buildings forcing the resignation of government officials. The new president has enacted a QR code digital ID program to access fuel in an effort to ration it because they and others like them sanctioned fuel exporting nations, and so the people have no fuel, only the elite have fuel. The bottom line is that to buy gas for your car or any other use, you must first obtain government permission. This new system was set up in Sri Lanka by the World Economic Forum. Your national ID must be tied to an app the government provides in order to ask the government's permission to buy some gas. The Sri Lankan government is using armed military to enforce the QR code requirement. So, whose side is the military on in Sri Lanka but also in America.
Mental Efficiency and Other Hints to Men and Women by Arnold Bennett audiobook. In this light-hearted yet thought-provoking collection of articles, Bennett offers his thoughts on exercising the mind, organising your life, the advantages (and disadvantages) of marriage and other pocket philosophies. The book stands the test of time, and much is still relevant and amusing - perhaps even more so, with nearly 100 years of hindsight, than when it was originally written. The book "X" to which Bennett refers in Chapter 5 is An Essay on the Principle of Population by Thomas Malthus
Hope in Apocalypse, Part 3: Peter and Susannah talk with demographer Lyman Stone about falling birthrates and what humans need to thrive enough to have children. They discuss Thomas Malthus and the origin of the European demographic transition, as well as the origin of overpopulation fears, and about how those fears misunderstand the nature of human ingenuity. They cover the essential racism of so much “overpopulation” discourse, which even now is focused on “the wrong kind of people” having too many children. They discuss the issue of hard limits- surely there must be some point past which human population can't grow, some actual environmental catastrophe? What then are we aiming for? How long should we plan for? Then they talk about whether the need for limits and the need for ambitious vision in human endeavor are in conflict with each other. Then they discuss what it takes, spiritually and culturally, for a society, for individuals, to believe that the world they are in, the family they are in, is one worth preserving.

La versión sin música. Hola amigos, sean bienvenidos a otro podcast que saldrá de un programa en directo a través de Twitch donde les mostraremos parte de los documentos que serán citados por mi o por los otros participantes. Le he puesto la coletilla de otros simulacros mortíferos porque este tema de las pandemias mortales a las que yo denomino Tragipandemias son simulaciones llevadas hasta el final, mascaradas que se deberían realizar para salvar vidas pero que tragicamente sirven para acabar con ellas. Y es que la elite psicopatocratica que nos malgobierna esta obsesionada con reducir la población desde hace ya varios siglos, posiblemente desde antes del cobarde Thomas Malthus.Y le llamo cobarde porque se hizo célebre por la publicación anónima en 1798 del libro Ensayo sobre el principio de la población. Malthus es conocido por su teoría sobre el crecimiento poblacional y la producción de alimentos, que en economía se conoce como Teoría Malthusiana: el crecimiento de la población mundial se da en forma geométrica, mientras el aumento de la producción de alimentos en progresión aritmética. O sea, más tarde o más temprano todos estaremos muertos a no ser que algunos filántropos como el señor Puertas decidan tomar cartas en el asunto. El Covid fue el primero de los muchos recursos que aparentemente tienen planificados para reducir la población a esos 500 millones de personas que aparecen en las piedras guias de Georgia. Es interesante saber que los 500 millones que aparecen en las piedras Guía de Georgia representan aproximadamente la cifra de diferentes genomas posibles o lo que es lo mismo, una forma de controlar para siempre a todos y cada uno de los seres humanos que habitemos el planeta. En la wikipedia ni siquiera insinúan que la masonería o grupos pro NWO estén detrás de la creación de dicha escultura. Los textos tallados en las piedras no dejan lugar a dudas. MANTENER LA HUMANIDAD A MENOS DE 500,000,000 EN EQUILIBRIO PERPETUO CON LA NATURALEZA. Instaurar el miedo es uno de los objetivos de esta elite psicopata y lo vienen haciendo a través de simulacros que acaban en derramamientos de sangre. En un estupendo hilo de Daniel Alonso podemos leer sobre los tres atentados que más han conmocionado al mundo occidental, el 11S en Nueva York, el 7J en Londres y el 11M en Madrid. “Durante el11S el NORAD de USA estaba realizando simulacros de secuestros de aviones. El Mayor Kevin Nasypany( NEADS),comentó en una entrevista Vanity Fair: "Cuando me dijeron que había un secuestro, mi primera reacción fue 'ALGUIEN comenzó el ejercicio temprano'" El 7J de 2005,en plenos atentados de Londres,Peter Power (Director Ejecutivo de Visor Consultants y experto en terrorismo) declaró en ITV news: "Esta mañana estábamos ejecutando un simulacro de ataque terrorista (CMX05) con bombas en las estaciones de metro donde han sucedido las explosiones” ¿Y qué información tenemos de algo así en España? Pues nada más y nada menos que la OTAN en su página web tiene publicado el ejercicio CMX04 (El de Londres fue el CMX05) entre los días 4 y 10 DE MARZO DE 2004. ¡Sólo unas horas antes de los Atentados del 11M! ¡Qué casualidad! En ella se detallan ejercicios antiterroristas para proteger infraestructuras de atentados con bombas y coordinación de fuerzas militares y civiles, entre ellas en la red ferroviaria y concretamente en Madrid CASUALMENTE.” Ya lo veis, un simulacro lleva aparejado el horror, un simulacro sirve para apantallar por si “algo” entrecomillas sale mal. Y esto lo hemos visto ya en la pandemia del covid con el Evento 201 por ejemplo. Os vuelvo a dejar con un hilo de Daniel Alonso: “En Octubre de 2019 financió un ejercicio de simulación en NY dónde un Coronavirus procedente de un murciélago causaba una pandemia mundial de SARS: El Evento 201. ¿sabes lo que pasó 4 meses después verdad? Lo que quizás no sepas es que Bill Gates obtuvo 33.000 millones de $ en ganancias durante la pandemia gracias a sus inversiones en vacunas.” La filantropia del señor Puertas viene de muy lejos, de casta le viene al galgo que decían y su padre Willam H.Gates II fue abogado y presidente de la Planned Parenthood la planificación familiar norteamericana, y trabajo en grupos eugenistas. “En 2009 la fundación B&M Gates vacunó en la India a miles de mujeres por el papiloma humano:24.000 niñas tuvieron graves lesiones y cáncer,decenas murieron Entre 2007 y 2017 probaron vacunas orales para la Polio en India causando parálisis a más de 490.000 niños. Por estos hechos el Parlamento Hindú expulsó a la fundación Bill&Melinda Gates de la India. Lejos de darse por vencidos,el siguiente laboratorio para sus experimentos criminales fue África. En Sudán miles de niños fueron vacunados por Gates y decenas murieron de fiebre y diarrea,la mayoría eran menores de 5 años. La OMS asumió que se debió a un error humano y pidieron perdón, pero nunca hubo una investigación ni ninguna indemnización. El señor Puertas declaró en una entrevista a CNBC en 2019 que las Vacunas habían sido "La mejor inversión que he hecho nunca con un rendimiento de 20 a 1"habiendo invertido 10.000 millones obtuvo 200.000 millones de $” Les recomiendo mis dos entrevistas con Enrique de Diego tituladas “Cuestionario de Enrique de Diego sobre las vacunas y la actualidad” y “No desesperen en la era del bozal. Pasará” donde podrán leer largo y tendido sobre como un informático ha devenido en el mayor filántropo de las vacunas a nivel mundial. Este programa pretende ser un aviso a navegantes ya que parece que vuelven a ir en serio ya que tenemos otro simulacro patrocinado por los de siempre, incluido el señor Puertas, dentro del Open Philantropy un organismo vinculado a la OMS. Hablaremos detalladamente en este podcast sobre esto porque esta gentuza pronostica que en diciembre de 2023 la mitad de la población se habrá infectado de viruela del mono y casi 300 millones de personas habrían fallecido por esta enfermedad y sus consecuencias. A partir de julio de este año podremos apreciar si esta pantomima del virus del mono ha sido seleccionada como la nueva Tragipandemia o no. La cuestión es que si comparamos los países donde se ha iniciado a la vez la viruela del mono y el mapa de distribución de los países de la OTAN veremos que son como dos gotas de agua. Solo escapa la muy globalista Australia. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Participantes Yane #JusticiaParaUTP @ayec98_2 Médico y Buscadora de la verdad. Con Dios siempre!

Os vuelvo a dejar con un hilo de Daniel Alonso: “En Octubre de 2019 financió un ejercicio de simulación en NY dónde un Coronavirus procedente de un murciélago causaba una pandemia mundial de SARS: El Evento 201. ¿sabes lo que pasó 4 meses después verdad? Lo que quizás no sepas es que Bill Gates obtuvo 33.000 millones de $ en ganancias durante la pandemia gracias a sus inversiones en vacunas.” La filantropía del señor Puertas viene de muy lejos, de casta le viene al galgo que decían y su padre Willam H.Gates II fue abogado y presidente de la Planned Parenthood la planificación familiar norteamericana, y trabajo en grupos eugenistas. “En 2009 la fundación B&M Gates vacunó en la India a miles de mujeres por el papiloma humano:24.000 niñas tuvieron graves lesiones y cáncer,decenas murieron Entre 2007 y 2017 probaron vacunas orales para la Polio en India causando parálisis a más de 490.000 niños. Por estos hechos el Parlamento Hindú expulsó a la fundación Bill&Melinda Gates de la India. Lejos de darse por vencidos,el siguiente laboratorio para sus experimentos criminales fue África. En Sudán miles de niños fueron vacunados por Gates y decenas murieron de fiebre y diarrea,la mayoría eran menores de 5 años. La OMS asumió que se debió a un error humano y pidieron perdón, pero nunca hubo una investigación ni ninguna indemnización. El señor Puertas declaró en una entrevista a CNBC en 2019 que las Vacunas habían sido "La mejor inversión que he hecho nunca con un rendimiento de 20 a 1"habiendo invertido 10.000 millones obtuvo 200.000 millones de $” Les recomiendo mis dos entrevistas con Enrique de Diego tituladas “Cuestionario de Enrique de Diego sobre las vacunas y la actualidad” y “No desesperen en la era del bozal. Pasará” donde podrán leer largo y tendido sobre como un informático ha devenido en el mayor filántropo de las vacunas a nivel mundial. Este programa pretende ser un aviso a navegantes ya que parece que vuelven a ir en serio ya que tenemos otro simulacro patrocinado por los de siempre, incluido el señor Puertas, dentro del Open Philantropy un organismo vinculado a la OMS. Hablaremos detalladamente en este podcast sobre esto porque esta gentuza pronostica que en diciembre de 2023 la mitad de la población se habrá infectado de viruela del mono y casi 300 millones de personas habrían fallecido por esta enfermedad y sus consecuencias. A partir de julio de este año podremos apreciar si esta pantomima del virus del mono ha sido seleccionada como la nueva Tragipandemia o no. La cuestión es que si comparamos los países donde se ha iniciado a la vez la viruela del mono y el mapa de distribución de los países de la OTAN veremos que son como dos gotas de agua. Solo escapa la muy globalista Australia. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Participantes Yane #JusticiaParaUTP @ayec98_2 Médico y Buscadora de la verdad. Con Dios siempre!

The world's population is rapidly becoming older and older, with many developed nations seeing unprecedented proportions of their citizens in retirement age. Why is this taking place, and does this presage an era of economic stagnation or a utopia of stability? How have fears over demography shifted as fertility rates plummet across the world, and how can we avoid pitting the young against the ever more powerful old in bitter intergenerational conflict?

Dans L'origine des espèces, Darwin innove par sa logique, enchaînant des faits et des déductions logiques. Alors que le transformisme de Lamarck n'était qu'une hypothèse ouverte, Darwin pose la réalité de la transformation des espèces, dont il explique le mécanisme. La variation des animaux et des plantes est un fait prouvé par la sélection artificielle pratiquée par les jardiniers et les éleveurs. Par ailleurs, Darwin souligne la contradiction apparente entre la tendance à un accroissement exponentiel des populations et le fait que dans la réalité, les populations sont en équilibre avec leur milieu. Un facteur de régulation éliminatoire doit donc exister. Darwin se saisit alors du modèle de Thomas Malthus, qui prédit une lutte pour l'existence (la fameuse expression struggle for life). Les «vainqueurs» de cette lutte sont les individus les mieux adaptés (survival of the fittest, la survie du mieux adapté). Conclusion : chaque espèce se transforme au hasard, dans toutes les directions. Les variants les mieux adaptés sont favorisés et donc retenus par l'évolution. Le Darwinisme n'a jamais été refuté, même s'il a été affiné depuis. Il a été le point de départ d'autres théories, lesquelles ont eu une validité et un destin divers… Dessin ©Jonathan Munoz chez Glénat _______

How many eligible men can we send to fight France? Are there enough food supplies to feed the population for the next century? Until 10th March 1801, the British Parliament weren't sure - which is why they commissioned the first national headcount since the Doomsday Book. Unlike a modern-day census - which harvests data on religion, education and even sexuality - their first efforts only totted up the numbers of men and women, and their engagement in certain employment, such as agricultural work. Despite this, they still managed to balls it up - with some parishes never bothering to return the paperwork properly. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why birthplace and employment came to be introduced in later surveys; consider the problem of dishonesty in self-declaration; and reveal how suffragettes used the census as a clever tactic for protest… Further Reading: • ‘10 March 1801: Britain conducts its first census' (MoneyWeek, 2020): https://moneyweek.com/383334/10-march-1801-britain-conducts-its-first-census • ‘An Essay on the Principle of Population, as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society with Remarks on the Speculations of Mr. Godwin, M.

In this week's episode, we take a look at how Charles Darwin postulated the Theory of Natural Selection. We also look at what that theory was and finally finish the episode with some interesting facts about Darwin. Read our blog post Would you rather read about his biography? Click here: Charles Darwin. If the link doesn't work, copy and paste this URL into your browser - https://wisuru.com/biography/charles-darwin/ Summary Two theories of evolution existed during Charles Darwin's time. Darwin, who read these two theories, was motivated to find out how evolution really happened [Citation1]. Malthus' essay While Darwin was pondering over how evolution really happens, in 1838, he read an essay written by Thomas Malthus. In this essay, Malthus argues that, if left unchecked, all species have the ability to reproduce indefinitely and overpopulate the earth within a few hundred generations and outstrip food production. And yet, it doesn't happen. Every year, the populations of varied species remain stable. Natural Selection While thinking about what Malthus had written, Darwin realized that there must be some combination of natural factors that keeps the populations of different species in check. Due to these factors, many of the organisms in varied species must have died even before they could have had the chance to reproduce. Darwin named this combination of natural factors 'Natural Selection,' because he felt that these factors select which organisms get to reproduce and have children, and which do not. According to Darwin, Natural Selection was the force behind evolution. Thus, the Theory of Natural Selection originated. For example, in places where there was no grass, but only tall trees, giraffes with slightly elongated necks and front legs would have had a better chance of procuring food, while those that didn't possess these attributes would have died out, before reproducing. Thus, the next generation of giraffes would have longer front legs and necks. This process would have continued for hundreds of generations. As a result, the giraffes we see today have extremely long necks and front legs when compared to any other organism in this world. Reluctance to publish his theory But even though Darwin had come up with his own theory of evolution in the year 1838, he did not publish it then, because he was afraid that he might be ostracized by society for mentioning something like that. After all, he would be suggesting that human beings actually evolved from other organisms, and were not created by god. This would go against the beliefs of many major religions at that time. So, for the next two decades, he kept experimenting and gathering more evidence to prove his theory. (Darwin's drawing below is based on his belief that evolution would have begun with one organism (1 in the drawing) and then branched and rebranched, to produce the numerous varied species in this world). Wallace's essay On June 18th, 1858, Darwin read an essay [Citation 2] published by Alfred Russel Wallace, an English naturalist who had sailed to South East Asia and collected specimens there. Darwin was spellbound by the similarities Wallace's essay had, with his own theory of evolution. So, even though he had originally planned to write a big book on his thoughts about evolution, he hurriedly wrote an abstract, called 'On the Origin of Species.' Then, he had both his abstract and Wallace's essay read out in the Biological Society in London. Then, he started working on the big book he had always dreamt to finish. Sexual Selection In his abstract (On the Origin of Species), Darwin explains that natural selection is not the only catalyst behind evolution. There was one more catalyst, called Sexual Selection. Sexual Selection is the process in which, in many organisms, the female (mostly) chooses which male to mate with. The males, on the other hand, compete with each other, to attract the attention of the female. Sexual selection is another factor, which decides which members of a species get to reproduce and which do not. Able members of one sex (mostly males) can mate with many females and have lots of children, while less able males have the least chance of mating and reproducing. Thus, the next generation would have more individuals with the characteristics of the more able males, and fewer individuals with the characteristics of the less able males. Copley Medal Darwin finally finished the first part of the big book, which he had always wanted to write, in 1868. He named it, 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication.' But before finishing its second part, he died. Darwin also published other books, like, 'The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex' and 'The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.' Both these books became hugely popular, exceeding his own expectations. The Royal Society of London (Britain's national academy of sciences) honored Darwin for his lifelong contribution to science by awarding him the Copley medal (Britain's highest scientific honor) in 1864. (A picture of Charles Darwin in 1868 can be found below) Death In 1882, Charles Darwin was diagnosed with 'Angina Pectoris.' It is an illness that causes chest pain due to the insufficient flow of blood to the heart. Darwin died on April 19th of the same year. Finally, I end the episode by looking at some interesting facts about Darwin.
