“Finding a free university class on Malthusian economics is awesome and hilarious. One cannot even find a sincere class on Marxist economics, and Malthus is even more out of vogue.
World history filtered through Malthusianism is bizarre. The class could have been titled IN PRAISE OF THE PLAGUE - because the prof has a morbid sense of humor and seems to be having too much fun descibing the economic public good of cannibalistic social norms. Is this guy a smart arzze? At very least he is an eccentric with a weird sense of humor.
I enjoy far out ideas, so the class was super fun and super entertaining... Even if the central premise seemed over reductive, over simplistic, over confident, over determanistic. Or whatever. It's thought provoking and you cant beat the trivia and freaky facts he throws into his lectures. Bravo! Good show!”
