Educational institutions the world over are keeping up pretences, trying to lure students with the false promise of a career which won’t exist on a collapsing planet.  Academia after all, is no different than Business as Usual.  Since education became a business, universities are only interested in taking your cash.  Students graduate with a mountain … Continue reading Anthropocene University – Spring Registration for Classes Now Open

Why None of These People Will Ever Talk to You About Overpopulation and Overshoot

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

For a species that can calculate derivatives, project ballistic trajectories, and estimate sales volumes, it is astounding that humans stubbornly refuse to even acknowledge the negative effects of what is by far their most destructive, as well as most obvious, impact on the planet: overpopulation. You won’t hear the Roger Hallams, the George Monbiots, Greenpeaces … Continue reading Why None of These People Will Ever Talk to You About Overpopulation and Overshoot

Degrowth: The Wisdom of Letting Go

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

A lesson which humans have yet to learn from nature is to let go of self-destructive desires.  Each autumn across the north and south hemispheres, deciduous trees let go of trillions of leaves.  In doing so, they ensure their survival for another year.  Had they attempted to hold on to those leaves, the trees would … Continue reading Degrowth: The Wisdom of Letting Go

Because we were served an illusion of choice, and when it comes to voting choice for that matter, an illusion of democracy itself. Whether Kamala or Trump had won, this world would have gone … Continue reading Fascism and Capitalism. A Short Reference Guide on How the Two (Don’t) Differ

If there was ever a worst-case scenario of climate crisis acceleration and descent into an apocalyptic world, look no further than current reality.  That scenario is playing right now.  Humanity is a sinking ship under mutiny: all sailors are fighting with each other to become captain, literally as they die.  The direction this civilisation has … Continue reading The Great Silence of The Human Lambs

When Politics Dies

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Trump is what happens to a country when it stops caring about politics and outsources democracy to corporate investors. I’ve lived 12 years in the US.  Whenever I attempted to start a political conversation with an American, I would be interrupted by “OMG did you see that show on TV last night? It was hilarious”. … Continue reading When Politics Dies

This American Hate

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

I understand that many Democrat voters at this stage hate Republicans so much.  After all, their fundamental human rights are being attacked.  What I don’t understand though is how naïve Democrats are to not be able to diagnose the issue, what brought us here. They are supposed to be the "smart, educated" ones and they … Continue reading This American Hate

Why The Democrats Were Always Set To Lose

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

And in this case, it also meant that they had something to hide.  … Continue reading Why The Democrats Were Always Set To Lose
