How Human Supremacy Killed the Search For Knowledge

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Manufactured narratives of conflict and supremacy pervade every aspect of human civilisation, even the very areas tasked specifically with questioning, challenging and reframing toxic narratives we created over the millennia.  The so-called vanguards of human thought, objectivity and innovation have never been truly objective.  Scientific disciplines may have invented new technologies and uncovered new knowledge, … Continue reading How Human Supremacy Killed the Search For Knowledge

The Myth of The Predator

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Although chaotic on the surface, the ecosystem is incredibly simple in its core operating principles.  But when studying ecosystems and climate systems, we always overcomplicate things.  We focus only on the chaos and conflict between species and between weather elements, forgetting about the principle of balance that supersedes them.  This is because we choose to … Continue reading The Myth of The Predator

AI Won’t Destroy the World.  Humans Using AI Will.

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

We are being told by CEOs, self-proclaimed futurists, visionaries, technology gurus and Silicon Valley geeks with millions of followers and thousands of books sold, that AI will bring about a never-before-seen abundance, after a “short rough patch” of adjustment.  I’ve watched a number of talks, interviews and discussions online with these experts over the years, … Continue reading AI Won’t Destroy the World.  Humans Using AI Will.

Too Many Elephants In The Room: The Overpopulation Taboo (Readers’ Poll)

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Almost 1 in 5 (18%) in my poll believe overpopulation is a hoax, a number way too high for my reader and Twitter audience, which comprised the sample of this quick poll (unless the poll was infiltrated by Elon’s trolls, something very frequent on my posts). Obviously, this figure would have been much, much higher … Continue reading Too Many Elephants In The Room: The Overpopulation Taboo (Readers’ Poll)

Generations of Ecological Estrangement

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

As the psychonomy expanded, the planet suffered the tragic consequences of humans effectively domesticating themselves within their own prison, while at the same time outsourcing their civilisation to The Thing: an economic management authority hungry for sales data and tasked with breeding generation after generation of increasingly estranged, brainwashed and unhealthy human cattle. Most of … Continue reading Generations of Ecological Estrangement

The Argument for Assisted Collapse

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

As ancient as it is, and however many centuries it may have lasted, this unsustainable economic system was always destined to destroy itself.  The narratives of our Civilisational Lie may have normalised unsustainable growth and unsustainable population, but what we, humans, consider “normal” is an impossible fantasy of our imagination.  The laws of physics disagree … Continue reading The Argument for Assisted Collapse

Necrocapitalism 101: The Birth of The Urban Psychonomy

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

For young humans, everything outside the city was nothing but a cheap resource to exploit.  Their arrogance grew day by day as they entered a downward spiral of addiction and mental illness exacerbated by the city itself.  Instead of abandoning their concrete fortress and returning to the village, they would choose to stay here in … Continue reading Necrocapitalism 101: The Birth of The Urban Psychonomy

Caution: Work Is Approaching Peak Bullshit

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

The number of people working because it gives them meaning as opposed to simply paying for their now unaffordable rent, mortgage or dependents, has reached peak low.  As for the number of people whose work agrees with their deeper ethics, values and beliefs, it is close to zero.  The first lesson we learn as we … Continue reading Caution: Work Is Approaching Peak Bullshit

Frankenpolitics: An Interview With George Tsakraklides

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

(from Wicked7.org) You have said that your latest work – Frankenpolitics – points fingers – who for what are you holding responsible for the mess we’re in? Those who have purchased politics and democracy, and those in power who allowed themselves to be purchased. At this point both entities, that is, money and power, are behaving … Continue reading Frankenpolitics: An Interview With George Tsakraklides
