[FRIAM] [EXT] News Alert: Most young men are single. Most young women are not.

Yeah.  Bill Rees and Meghan Seibert want 90% of us to die
https://www.realgnd.org/people
(or a position paper somewhere in their writings).

On their people page, you can see what happy ecologists they are, and BIll is a friendly old grandfather with a beard.

I shouldn’t be snotty.  I think they are actually very tortured about their dictum that 90% of us should die.  And I think in some sense they are committed, good people.

But I put them up here, because somehow people collapsing under decades of frustration seem to develop a misanthropy that causes them to forget It’s Not All About You (and how tortured you are, being the only truth-teller in a lonely world).  If you really care about the thing you say, then it should eclipse your own self-importance enough that you just stay focused on the task.

I don’t know in how far their positions turn out to represent solid numbers.  Maybe some part of it.  But I have said that before.

I hope that as they enter their 30s their attitudes will change because of the realization that they are running out of time.
