As civilisational collapse becomes supercharged and at the same time concealed by social media algorithms, it is more urgent than ever to understand how the social media phenomenon got us here, rather than surrender to the unreality of the mirror world that has seized control of individuals and society. As with other innovations, our dependence … Continue reading Social Media: A Brief History of The Mirror World
Elon’s Swasticars did not become fascist overnight. They were all along part of a system which breeds fascism and green fairy tales in order to boost profits and keep fattening the oligarchs. Replacing fossil fuel-powered cars with electric vehicles addresses neither traffic congestion nor carbon emissions. Electric vehicles enter the market as brand new cars … Continue reading Lifecycle of a Swasticar
When I was growing up, one of the stereotypes, fair or unfair, we always said about Americans was that they’ll sue someone at the drop of a hat, for silly stuff. Even then, it was clear that litigation was being used not as a vehicle for justice, but as a weapon of revenge and extortion. … Continue reading The Land of “I Will Sue You” Is No More
As the US becomes an authoritarian dictatorship wielding all instruments of fear it possibly can, reports in mainstream news networks have begun flooding in of tourists with valid US visas being detained for lengthy periods for no valid reason: Lucas from Germany, 16 days detention Jasmine from Canada, 12 days detention And this: French scientist … Continue reading The Economics of Incarceration: Detention Capitalism Is Here, No One Is Safe.

We’re about to do an autopsy … Continue reading My Tesla “Autopsy” OP-ED at the Marketing Journal
I’ve been walking past this graffiti on the beach for years. Meters away from the surf and right on the concrete beach walk, it is highly visible to foot traffic but too boring to notice: a hasty, unimaginative execution in plain black dripping spray paint on a dystopian iron door the key to which has … Continue reading Disorder Is Their Order
The war humanity is waging on all other species has already killed much of the ecosystem. The superorganism is dying. Rather than celebrating our shared chemical and genetic lineage, we have been in war with other life forms since the beginning of time. Our track record is one of genocide and extinction, because this is … Continue reading A Civilisation Built on Conflict and Supremacy
The worst enemy of truth is half-truth. Decades of programming have overloaded us to the point where we only pay attention to headlines, not the facts (or absence thereof) behind them. The consumatronic farm has bred any curiosity out of modern humans and replaced it with apathy on steroids. As truth becomes diluted by a … Continue reading Media In the Post-Reality World
People revolt only when they feel sufficiently oppressed to be prepared to risk everything. But this critical threshold will never be reached when society has been collectively bought out by this economic system long ago. We are stakeholders and participants in everything wrong with the world today: exploitation, natural destruction, climate breakdown. This dystopian society … Continue reading The Missed Revolution
As tens of millions of Americans begin to fall below the poverty line, their leader plans to annex Gaza, Canada, Greenland, and Mars.
