CACOR member David Dougherty wrote this description of a retired professor’s view of our near future.
The following is a stream of tweets that I encountered on 29 March 2023 in my work as operator of the CACOR Twitter account.
I was impressed by the facts and logic.
I requested and received permission to extract the text and share it. I have done some very minor changes in wording and punctuation.
The originator was Dr. Stan Willenbring, a retired professor of physiology, whose Twitter account is < @StanWillenbring >. His biographic information on the account is:
PhD, prof of physiology, climate realist, 365 hiker. Caution: disputatious. Southern Appalachia.
I have given the material this title:
“Our Genetics Will Determine Whether We Go Extinct.”
My observation is that Dr. Willenbring descriptions explain how libertarianism is even more problematic than even I had found it. It appears libertarianism will actually be the death of us.
Now, here are Dr. Willenbring’s observations, which I believe link directly to the global problematique that was so much discussed in the CACOR archives of late last century.
In my view, if there is something positive in our circumstances, perhaps it is the possibility that humans have had the intelligence to develop civilization and then refine it to the point where we know how we ought to behave toward each other and Earth’s ecosystems.
