"C" stands for consciousness

Episode 54: Malthusian Memes



Guests



Prof. Albert Bartlett - retired physics professor and modern-day Malthusian. One way or another, argues Prof. Bartlett, we will achieve zero population growth. This is a long interview and is intended as a follow-up to his Exponential Function lecture.

Carol Ekarius is a return guest. She joined me for episode #6 and we talked about living off-the-grid and about keeping animals. She is the author of many books including Hobby Farm, How to Build Animal Housing, and Small-Scale Livestock Farming: A Grass-Based Approach of Health, Sustainability, and Profit.

Vincent Casspriano, Jr.:
Carl Sagan meets Carlos Castaneda meets Richard Dawkins meets the Buddha … Vincent Casspriano, Jr.'s The Simplest Path to Personal and Planetary Awakening, Step One: FREE YOUR MIND: 10 Keys for Unlocking Your Personal Potential, Achieving Spiritual Awakening, ... of Humanity's Ultimate Cosmic Destiny cuts through all the Traditional Religious and New Age mystic mumbo jumbo to reveal a simple step by step path anyone can follow to the attainment of personal enlightenment and the positive transformation of our world. An amazing achievement!

Albert Bartlet (bio cribbed from his Wikipedia entry):
Albert A. Bartlett is an emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA. Professor Bartlett has lectured over 1,500 times on Arithmetic, Population, and Energy. Bartlett is a modern-day Malthusian.

Professor Bartlett often explains how sustainable growth is an oxymoron. His view is based on the fact that a modest percentage growth can equate to huge escalations over short periods of time. He has famously stated that "The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."

He regards overpopulation as The Greatest Challenge facing humanity, and promotes sustainable living. Bartlett opposes the cornucopian school of thought (as advocated by people such as Julian Lincoln Simon), and refers to it as The New Flat Earth Society.

J. B. Calvert (1999) has proposed that Bartlett's Law will result in the exhaustion of petrochemical resources due to the exponential growth of the world population (as per the Malthusian Growth Model).


When I record the long interview with Prof. Bartlett, I will assume that the audience has already listened to his talk, : http://globalpublicmedia.com/lectures/461

I'll flesh this entry out a bit later, but just now, it's time for me to get on home.

Stay well.
