Mechanisms for implementing rapid population decline.
| In the essays in Part 4 I will show a set of mechanisms for implementing rapid population decline.
The first mechanism converts one person to a belief that RPD is the path to human viability. The mechanisms is actually made by you from the content in the DVD and first two parts of this book -- plus any items you can piece together with your own common sense. The second, is a contagion mechanism that, through applications of the first mechanism, spreads these beliefs person to person throughout the global community. The third, is a collegial mechanism that gathers together these believers into a constituency. And the forth, sometimes a democratic mechanism that allows this constituency to create policy and laws that implement RPD. |
