Eat your own dog food
Paul Ehrlich wrote The Population Bomb in 1968. He essentialy predicted that the population explosion of the 20th century would result in massive resource overconsumption. As a result, he predicted that massive famine and social colapse would spread globally. He opens the book saying, "I have understood the population explosion intellectually for a long time." Yet he has a daughter, who Lisa Marie Ehrlich, who judging from the date of her PhD, must have been born right about the same time as his wife was pregnant with their her child.
I mean, I know that everyone is a hypocrite, but come on, predicting worldwide famine, becoming famous for it, making it the center of your public life and having a kid anyway?
Wow, that's hard to imagine.
