Escape Velocity: Hyperpopulation, Species Splits, and the Counter-Malthusian Trap (after ‘tipping points’ Pass)

Abstract

The ban today on “population talk” (Diana Coole) by the liberal western traditions as unethical has the inverse effect in a post-‘tipping point’ world defined by future population culls of peripheries. It turns out that this ban not only advances the outcome the liberal tradition would most avoid but blinds it from seeing what is now underway before its eyes—a ‘species split’ engineered by the hyper-elite with one eye to the coming climate catastrophism. It turns out that the ban conceals that the western anthropos had from the first been defined as arche-eugenicist and extinctivist. This in turn illuminates the puzzling non-response of global leadership to the prospect of irreversible ecocide.
