Talk:Julian Simon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a suspicion that the quote from Garrett Hardin's "Population Myopia" is apocryphal ("Oh, I meant 7 million years.") Simon harped against cherry-picking a slice from an historical trend and extrapolating the consequences of that trend to continue indefintely. So, I would be very surprised that he had accepted the premise of a resource calculation based on exponential population growth.--Rolofft 03:11, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

In my view, this entry should point to Julian Simon the economist, with a disambiguation tag pointing towards Julian Simon (motorcyclist), as the late economist is a far more important figure in the world than some guy who rides a motorcycle. --Rhodomontade 21:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
