Every “scholar” has been predicting the downfall of society since the beginning of time. What makes this one any different? The old “end is nigh” gambit for views and clicks. We need news to come back, not conjecture. Jack Webb said it best “Just the facts, ma’am.”.
His paper has been published on Nature… this because everyone can say the “end is nigh” but few people can come with mathematical models for showing it 🙂
But that doesn’t mean any follow-up predictions they make or solutions they offer or even explanations they have are right.
It’s the Texas sharpshooter fallacy we commit every time we point to an expert for making a correct prediction and using that as a reason to trust anything else they say. This is because countless experts make predictions all the time and if we ignore all the wrong ones then we need to account for the fact that one of them may be right due to pure chance.
Yeah this “scholar” is just every millennial who was told to sit down at stfu by every adult in our lives even now that we’re the adults it hasn’t changed

I mean, one of them is bound to be right eventually…
