Pablo Servigne

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani discusses Pablo Servigne in 2019, mainly on the basis of a lecture screened during a session, in which the agronomist and collapsologist explains how the industrial food system depends on oil1. He grants him intelligence and a calm tone, but points out that he owes this ease to the industrial world he criticizes2. He faults him for a tone of certainty that places him above the scientific community, which he calls a "quiet megalomania"3. He treats him as an example of ecological discourse and localism4, and sets him against his own praise of abundance5. He notes that Servigne reportedly predicted collapse for 20206. In "La religion de l'Argent", he calls him the "pope of collapsology": someone who declares it is too late and ignores poverty7. In his view, Servigne's comparison with slaves shows that he has not lived in Africa8.
