Concerning the above political proposals, Myers states:
{{Cquote|I know it’s all unrealistic, and isn’t going to happen, unless there’s a revolution (which, at the rate we’re going, isn’t entirely unlikely).

It’s not as radical as it could be — a real socialist would suggest that the people should seize total control of the production of weapons, for instance, but I’ve become less trusting of the will of the people nowadays.<ref>[https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2019/08/04/a-few-radical-proposals/ A few radical proposals] by PZ Myer</ref>}}
