(Open Floor Hearing, May 2 2024) "Good afternoon and thank you to the inspectorate and the organisers. According to the UN Climate Chief, we have just two years to save the world. According to many scientists studying our planet’s climate and the 10 million species who live on this planet, it is already too late … Continue reading On Gatwick Airport’s New Proposed Runway to Hell
Global industrial civilisation was built to cater to human needs: more comfort, more laughter, more love. But it lacked the “heart” to understand these intrinsically human, largely emotional needs. It was much easier for us to focus on creating this civilisation initially as a machine of efficiency, hoping that emotions, “humanity”, would eventually come in … Continue reading The Consumatronic State and the Illusion of Happiness
When a species eliminates all predators, it is a threat to everything. And when its population reaches astronomical numbers, this threat becomes existential. Everything is attacked, including the inanimate world: atmosphere, weather, energy, temperature. The planetary infrastructure is taken down bit by bit, much like a Hollywood set hurriedly dismantled to make space for the … Continue reading Hallucinating Parasites and the War on Physics
As filler humans, we are entering a new slavery situation where our master is not even human. We can’t see them because they don’t have a face, and we can’t attack them because they are virtually everywhere. For a species who invented the concept of personal ownership, it was very ironic yet at the same … Continue reading Human Pets of the Consumaverse
A successful business is one which can create more of itself, regardless of cost to humans or the planet. Unless it has aggressive plans to expand, a business today should have little reason to exist. This dogma of expansion now pervades all economic activity: businesses must collaborate with the Unhappiness Machine of marketing, religion, the … Continue reading When Profit Grows a Brain: the rise of sentient necrocapitalism
This civilisation has learned to survive by extraction, exploitation and extinction. It is the teenager walking up to the fridge, taking whatever they need without ever wondering who went grocery shopping, how much it cost, and who paid the electric bill. This lazy formula of existence has been so easy and straightforward, so successful and … Continue reading The Civilisational Lie

All civilisations eventually reach the point where they fail to keep track of all that they have created. They become blind to their past, cut off from any memory of their beginnings, like traumatised orphans who never met their real parents or, smartphone users with no knowledge of how a smartphone is made, or what … Continue reading A New Spiritual Geography: The Revenge of The Landfills
This appeared this morning on Amazon. Thank you! George Tsakraklides is a brilliant author who synthesizes a great depth of knowledge across a variety of disciplines in his gripping, resonant, and highly pertinent assessment of our self-contradictory ouroboros we call capitalistic society. Tsakraklides offers us new language with which we can apprehend this terrifying and … Continue reading Book Review for In The Grip
Our story, the story of Earth, couldn’t possibly be more surreal and miraculous at the same time. Even the smartest team of human designers would almost certainly have failed to imagine, not least create, our world from scratch - even if they had access to all the tools and elements in the periodic table. How … Continue reading Surreal Clockwork
