What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani first mentions Aurélien Barrau in connection with the model of nature conveyed by the dominant ideology1. In 2019 he compares him with Pablo Servigne: Barrau seems to him more "convulsed", but he grants that he is a leading researcher2. What he objects to at that point is Barrau's call for unpopular measures, which he finds terrifying; in his view, nothing is more totalitarian than this discourse34. From 2020 on, he mainly returns to a thesis he attributes to Barrau: the fall of man, or the start of decline, would begin as early as hunting and gathering, which would already be a form of predation56. He sees in this a "delusional imaginary sliding of the cursor" and a nostalgia for Mother Gaia78. He also points out that an astrophysicist relies on his scientific competence to pronounce on this subject9, and he speaks of it in an ironic tone6.
