Societies were formed not to evolve, but to obey, and what we tend to affectionately call “social evolution” was merely the aftermath of succumbing, and then adapting to, ever changing forms of oppression. Much like farm animals on growth hormones, humans can easily live the entirety of their existence sustained by the distractions of a … Continue reading End-Stage Necrocapitalism: Fumbling Towards The Exit
It was a balmy November morning when Mr Mosquito stretched his long legs for the very first time, and started to crawl out of his egg like a Houdini. He quickly swam to the surface, focused his big, dark eyes, and took a good look around him: “Wow, it’s the world!”, he shouted to himself, … Continue reading November Mosquito
Thank you all for your enthusiastic response to the Q&A invitation (on substack).

If Zuckerberg deliberately enables advertisers to microtarget weight-insecure girls with content that will push them to suicide, then we are living in an unprecedented dystopia ruled by the sickest of minds. But that’s not all. If Bezos ranks his workers based on how quickly they can take a shit, Musk forces his to bring their own toilet paper to … Continue reading Why The Bad Guys Keep Winning: A 500-Word Manifesto Against The Shitocracy
Today I discovered that one of my Cyclamen coum plants in the upper woodland garden had produced offspring: tiny one-leaf seedlings fighting for space and light under the canopy of a 45 year-old evergreen Jasminum mesnyi that complements their intense fuchsia colour with its narcissus-yellow blooms. Both plants bloom in the middle of February, a most drab … Continue reading Patience
Today’s epidemic of authoritarianism is the consequence of a society that long ago embraced the values of necrocapitalist imperialism: ruthless profit, heartlessness, manipulation, and pure, unadulterated sadism toward the most vulnerable. In an increasingly remote-operated world, attributing responsibility is becoming near impossible: tyrants and oligarchs can safely hide behind layers of code, while the rest of … Continue reading How They Killed Reality
Sickness and death have become much bigger money-makers for the economy than the provision of health coverage to citizens. Good health coverage requires available doctors, affordable medicines and capable hospitals, all of which cost the government money it doesn’t want to spend. You see, governments in America function like businesses, not governments. They won’t invest … Continue reading American Deathcare: The Short Story
I normally don’t expect a nature hike in the clean suburban air of my beach town to turn into a back-to-the future, post-apocalyptic excursion into the remnants of an extinct society. But hey ho, after we had climbed up the hill, enjoyed spectacular views and traversed a forest that was literally dying for a drink of October … Continue reading They Came. They Danced. They Went Extinct
Humans were not corrupted by capitalism. They created it because they were corrupt in the first place. Capitalism has been accused of creating today’s selfishness, individualism and narcissism, but these vices pre-existed. Capitalism merely came along to monetize them. Greed was there from the start. Capitalism was the app that codified, amplified, digitized and weaponized it. It … Continue reading A 400-Word History of Capitalism
125 million years ago an exceptionally long, baking hot summer began to sweep through the Celestial Mountain in the Tien Shan alpine range spanning modern-day Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China. The scorching conditions on the desiccated slopes of the mountain left little room for survival for the great majority of organisms, and the freezing … Continue reading Meditative Degrowth: Sometimes The Smartest Act of Defiance Is To Stay Still
