35. Unlike a stopped clock, Paul Ehrlich is never right
In our universe, time runs forward only. Thus, things in the future are impossible to predict. Anyone who claims otherwise is a fool. Mr. Ehrlich makes a very handsome living convincing folks (who want to be convinced) that he can predict the future. The fact that Mr. Ehrlich is frequently wrong yet believed by many is living proof of the cognitive biases that make our brains such an interesting and dangerous thing.
