Biodiversity

While man-made global warming is always blamed for decay of the world's coral reefs, the lionfish has emerged as a co-conspirator. The Technocrat solution is to invent an autonomous AI killer robot to hunt and kill lionfish. If they can hunt and kill one species, can they not do the same for another (ie, humans) Other scientists are looking to use CRISPR technology to genetically edit coral.

This is an example of Reflexive Law being applied, which I explained in Chapter 7 of Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation. This whole twisted mess started when the radical Center for Biological Diversity (based in Tucson, Arizona) sued the state of California for alleged abuses that endangered a native frog, that required the U.S. Fish & Wildlife to intervene and sequester huge tracks of land. In the meantime, the ranchers are being forced to comply with regulations that they had no part in creating in the first place.

Is this the height of insanity or a carefully crafted assault on humans in general? Eco-radicals have been waging a war against humans for years now, and it is a global phenomenon. In their view, humans have no higher standing than a river, a glacier, an ant or a rattlesnake.

Naturally, Paul Ehrlich of Population Bomb(1970) infamy, is at the heart of this story. Not one single prediction in his original book came true. But, that doesn't deter a true Technocrat like Ehrlich from trying to grab headlines again. Of course, his new prediction requires urgent, urgent, urgent action to thwart the future.

Scientists get plenty of money from grants, NGOs and corporations, but they need more to properly save the world. Crowdfunding is one step away from standing on the street corner with a sign, "Will work for science".
