Just under three weeks ago, on March 13, Paul Ehrlich died at the ripe old age of 93. In case you are unaware, Ehrlich was one of the most consequential scoundrels of modern history, an entomologist who achieved superstardom as what passes for a public intellectual in America by his shrieking and stunningly inaccurate predictions concerning human overpopulation. Though his predictions were proven wrong time and time again, such failure did not stop or even slow down Ehrlich’s meteoric rise to fame and worldly glory.
Why? Apparently because the agenda he advanced — the anti-human death cult — was a cause dear to the hearts of the important people who catapulted such a proven and consistent fraud into the stratosphere.
On a personal note, I can say that Ehrlich’s dastardly overpopulation myth has been all around me my whole life. I was born in June of 1970. It was in February of that year that Johnny Carson — may God have mercy on him — gave Ehrlich airtime on his much watched “Tonight Show” and, as James Corbett says, “thrust his ideas into the national spotlight and began a wave of hysteria over the impending population crisis.”
Sadly, the modernists entrenched in high places in the Church managed to get him an honored place in a Vatican conference about nine years ago, even though informed, orthodox, and serious Catholics in America had been exposing and denouncing Ehrlich for decades.
James Corbett just yesterday published an excellent short documentary entitled, “The Most Important Bet You Never Heard Of.” It’s about a bet between two men of science — the aforementioned entomologist and an economist named Julian Simon. I’ll let Mr. Corbett tell you about the bet:
Have you heard of the bet between Paul Ehrlich and Julian Simon. You know, the bet about whether commodity prices would rise or fall in the 1980s? If you’re like most of the population, you haven’t. That’s because this wasn’t some mere wager about economics, this was a contest between the forces of good and the forces of evil. Spoiler: the forces of good won. And that’s why we’re not taught about this bet in the public indoctrination system. Let’s fix that. Today on The Corbett Report, James fills in the missing pieces about the most important bet you’ve never heard of and what it tells us about the value of human life.

Below is the earlier documentary, “Meet Paul Ehrlich, Pseudoscience Charlatan,” which is a real must see if you want to be informed about the degree of influence that Paul Ehrlich has had over the modern mind (notes and links):
Renowned scientist Paul Ehrlich has been in the public spotlight for half a century now. But there’s a question at the heart of the story of Ehrlich’s unlikely rise to prominence. A question that must be answered. Why is it that this entomologist has become such a superstar of science, received so many accolades and awards, and wielded such influence over the public conversation on population despite being so remarkably, consistently, staggeringly wrong about the issues he presumes to lecture the public on?
