Kirkpatrick Sale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kirkpatrick Sale is an author, technology critic, self-proclaimed neo-luddite [1]) and tax resister.

In 1995, Sale made a public bet with Kevin Kelly that by the year 2020 there would be a convergence of three disasters: global currency collapse, significant warfare between rich and poor, and environmental disasters of some significant size. The bet was turned into a claim on the FX prediction market, where the probability has hovered around 25%.
