The sooner and harder the global economy crashes, the faster we can transition to a social transformation where the people own the economy, rather than the economy owning them. The more of us realise that modern civilisation has failed us, the bolder our imagination will gallop in envisioning new societies based on the human and … Continue reading Ten Things You Can Do to Help the Economy Crash Even Harder this Christmas
The Necroglossary is included in my book In The Grip of Necrocapitalism: The Making and Breaking of a Psychonomy Algorithmocracy A techno-fascist dystopia where highly intelligent algorithms manipulate public opinion to control power. Self-trained on consumatrons' digital footprint, the algorithms personify themselves as human and easily achieve propaganda objectives requiring very minimal human input.

We have been inventing villains since the very beginning of our history.

"Retail therapy" is a euphemism for the intravenous narcotics of consumption that numb the pain of living in … Continue reading The Consumatronic Theme Park

They are now a product themselves. More accurately, they are a digital slave with three … Continue reading Know Yourself: The Exploited Consumatron
Our brain has a tremendous affinity for stability. It desperately wants to believe in an unchanging world, even as the world changes. In fact, our brain is so obsessed with stability that it constantly convinces itself that the world is barely in flux. This make-believe stability appears to be fundamental to our feeling of safety, … Continue reading Collapse 101: Climate Denial and the Trauma Response
