Technology, good or bad
Paul Erlich predicted food shortages. When they didn't happen one had to ask why. Besides
technology allowing us to modify genes and make crops more productive, humans added CO2
to the atmosphere thus increasing crop production 15%.
Question: Is Paul Erlich is happy that he was wrong? Before you answer, please note that Paul
Erlich is a human and not a robot.
Question 2: Is Paul Erlich in favor of the increased amount of CO2 in the atmosphere which
has increased crop yield and help make his prediction wrong?
The answers to these questions indicate that people have irrational egos and in some cases
would rather starve than be wrong. Humans, you will recall, are a form of pre-intelligence
which is still dominated by their emotional selves.
