28 July 1971
“I’m scared,” the lean, intense scientist (Paul Ehrlich) told an interviewer. “I have a teenage daughter whom I love very much. I know a lot of young people, and their world is being destroyed – my world is being destroyed. I’m 37, and I’d like to live to be 67 in a reasonably pleasant world, not die in some kind of holocaust in the next decade.”
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

“I’m 37, and I’d like to live to be 67 in a reasonably pleasant world, ”
So not only was Ehrlich completely wrong about a holocaust before 1981, he was also completely wrong about how long he expected to live.
Did Ehrlich ever make one correct prediction?
Somebody should throw a net over this man and haul him away to the insane asylum.
Only the left would consider this man a ‘visionary’, or even a ‘thinker’.
