The industrial revolution was the time when this civilisation completely lost it. Like a virus, it became more concerned with making infinite copies of itself than contemplate the meaning and purpose of that which it made copies of. Narratives of perpetual economic growth and procreation were aggressively pushed by the psychonomy to continue making photocopied … Continue reading The Corruption of Happiness
The shameless hypocrisy of authority is that it will always care more about itself than the people it was meant to represent. This self-interest has always brought authority in closer affinity to other forms of power such as capital, rather than to its people. Power only collaborates with power. The alliance between the main two … Continue reading Power, Capital, and Self-Destruction
The reason Earth’s economy never endures boom-and-bust cycles is that everything in nature is reusable: someone's trash becomes someone else's food, on a planet where it is impossible for an ecosystem to ever go bankrupt. The remarkable feat of 10 million species coexisting in a small planet has only been possible because Earth long ago … Continue reading Earthconomics 101: There Is a Killer on the Loose
We have every reason to wish to dismantle an economic system which has become an existential threat to both humans and the planet. Any economic system which sees nature and human rights as threats to its bottom line is ultimately a threat to nature, humans and itself. Necrocapitalism has no loyalties, alliances, feelings or even … Continue reading A Human Imposter
The problem with civilisation is that it is simply self-destructive: driven by profit and efficiency alone, self-programmed to implode by following a predictable recipe of maximum death/maximum profit economics. This monstrous progeny of our greed now runs the planet. It operates not on dreams, laughter, feelings, creativity, love, compassion or any of our best human … Continue reading All Roads Lead to Self-Destruction

When I warned years ago that the climate crisis would be completely forgotten in a few years, I was ignored like some type of attention-seeking “boy cried wolf” conspiracist. But I meant what I said. And I still mean it, and events prove me right. Just look around, even the worst-case scenario didn’t look this … Continue reading Overshoot Deficit Disorder
Entertainment has become indispensable to the necrosystem both as a distraction and a buffer against truth. Making light of disasters is the most effective way to normalise crises and deflect from any serious conversation attempting to zoom in on culprits. Fortunately for the ruling classes, people desperate for distraction love to be entertained and it … Continue reading The Unbearable Lightness of Entertainment
I was asked during an interview by an American institution what choices do we have in the current environment: Trump, fascism, etc. As a determinist, I don't believe choice exists. It doesn't mean we shouldn't fight for choice, but the chances of avoiding the inevitable demise of humans are slim to none. The US political … Continue reading In The Age of Infinite Consumer Choice, The Only Choice is Collapse
Our economic system has preyed upon our survival instincts to turn us into insecure consumatrons. The more we define ourselves by what we own, the more this system owns us. We have come to a point in our history where our sense of self-worth is drawn not from self-respect, but from our level of access … Continue reading The Consumatronic Dystopia
