The Birth of Cakeconomics Whenever I order a piece of cake at a restaurant, I always wonder how many more pieces of cake there are back in the kitchen. Not because I’m greedy but because I’m fascinated by how, from a logistics point of view, the restaurant manages to achieve that perfect goldilocks balance between … Continue reading The Birth of Cakeconomics
(continued) ...For the teenagers, everything outside of the city was nothing but a cheap resource to be exploited, and their arrogance grew day by day as they descended into a spiral of addiction and mental illness, often exacerbated by the city itself. Instead of abandoning their concrete fortress and returning to the village, they would … Continue reading Psychonomic Civilisations
"George has authored works of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, all revolving around themes of civilizational collapse and humanity’s inevitable self-destruction. His latest book is Beyond the Petri Dish: Human Consciousness in the Time of Collapse, Apathy and Algorithms – a truly original work which posits that our economic system evolved symbiotically around our brain, gradually implanting itself … Continue reading Book Launch Interview: Beyond The Petri Dish
Beyond The Petri Dish: Human Consciousness in the Time of Collapse, Apathy and Algorithms We are experiencing an era of unprecedented cognitive dissonance.

For a moment the Vastness turns the … Continue reading Transcending The Ego: The Difficult Awakening Into Responsibility
It was unavoidable that the myth of human supremacy would be cloned and broadcasted within human societies themselves.

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.
