On the Road to Irrelevance

Not content to be a simple advocate, Suzuki comes forward to demonstrate how little he really matters.

While I agree with alot of his points - his words reflect a deep misunderstanding of mankind itself. And his appeal to a utopian vision of humans and bunny rabbits playing peacefully in a pristine forest, is simply misanthropic.

Above all, it seems like sweeping commentary - across sociology, ecology, pschycology, and economics - from a guy who has a PhD focused upon the private parts of fruit flies.

Suzuki presents a dreamlike state which would require decades of structural changes to the economy, and demand change to taxation, laws, and extensive regulation and transformation of the monetary system to create.

To do any of this any sooner would likely bring sweeping change and impact upon Canadians, while we watch China & India continue on their unsustainable path ('eco' means 'home' friends).

I wonder if this Marxist actually understands the implications of what he is saying, or just doesn't care. From the quiet comforts of academia, one can pretty much say anything.

And while Suzuki advocates an appeal to science, he has demonstrated the selective hearing of a zealot when it comes to science that dares to contradict him.

The man is irrelevant.
