The Extinction Paradox

It’s a frightening question: ‘Do you want to die?’ We might think about a scene in a gangster movie, where someone is threatened at gunpoint to get to the ugly truth. But when asked directly, we adamantly shake our heads and say, ‘No, of course I don’t!’ Then why are we killing ourselves? We, the human species, are vigorously polluting the environment, destroying the biodiversity and changing the climate. We are clearly steering towards global societal collapse, but when asked about it, we categorically deny it. That’s a paradox in need of explanation. In this book you will learn what it takes to both strive for survival on an individual local level, and at the same time drive ourselves to extinction on a collective global level. It requires an incredible amount of ignorance, shortsightedness and stupidity, but it can be done, and we’re getting there fast. Author, public speaker and climate confrontealist Bart Flos published many books that aim to rattle your case about our future on Earth. With The Extinction Paradox he is again saying it just like it is: “No species in the 4.5-billion-year history of this planet has ever expedited its own demise. It’s almost impossible to explain how completely moronic that is, but I will gladly give it a try”.
