It was a bet between a sick, twisted, malevolent entomologist masquerading as a demographic expert

who called babies a disaster and was wrong about literally everything he ever predicted.

And a pro-human, life-affirming economist who switched from team death to team life

when he realized that the ultimate resource, that is humanity's capacity for

ingenuity and adaptation, was something to be celebrated, not something to be decried as our

would-be overlords bid us do. It was a bet, in other words, between good and evil. Paul Erlich

bet against humanity. Julie andlich bet against humanity. Julian Simon bet on humanity. Now, here's the

awkward part for the psychopaths and twisted individuals in establishment media and academic

circles who seek to curry favor with the would-be social engineers by being so against humanity,

Julian Simon won the bet. And that's precisely why you've never heard about it. Let's fix that.

Today on the corporate report, we're going to do a deep dive on the most important bet you've

never heard of.

You're listening to the Corbett Report. So the first thing that should happen is that the president ought to say from now, here on out,

no intelligent, patriotic American family ought to have more than two children, preferably one,

if you're starting a family now. Not any law, but just say this is what responsible people do. He ought to make the FCC see to it that large families are always treated in a negative light on television wherever they appear. There ought to be a tremendous amount of television time devoted to spot commercials, this is what we've had against smoking, but ones in the middle say in the middle of Beverly Hillbillies, you get a scene which shows Los Angeles in the smog and it just says this city has a fatal disease it's called overpopulation and so long.

Now that sort of campaign you could have a census, a sample census which would see whether that was having a desired effect.

If that didn't you could move to giving women bonuses for not having babies that almost certainly would do the job. If that didn't have the effect, then you could move to changing the tax structure so that people who had the money and had the children paid for the children. In other words, you would increase taxes on people with children rather than decrease them, since when they have the children, they require more services. If that doesn't work, then you'll have the government legislating the size of the family. And people say, oh, that's impossible. Government can never intrude and tell you how many children to have. Well, I got news. You know, it intruded a long time ago and told you how many wives you can have. And there's not the slightest question that if we don't get the population under control with voluntary means that in the not too distant future, the government will simply tell you how many children can have and throw you in jail if you have too many.

Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to another edition. means that in the not too distant future, the government will simply tell you how many children can have and throw you in jail if you have too many.

Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to another edition of The Corbett Report. I'm your host, James Corbett of Corbett Report.com coming to you, as always, from the sunny climbs of Western

Japan here in late March of 2006, with episode 496 of the Corbett Report podcast, the most important bet you've never heard of.

Now, as I am sure that my well-informed listeners and viewers are well aware,

that was a snippet of an interview conducted with Dr. Paul Erlich by W.O.I.TV of Ames, Iowa in April of 1970,
