Every oligarch is a tumour growing at the expense of surrounding healthy tissue: the humans and other organisms making up the ecosystem. While normal cells follow a strict path of growth for only a set number of generations, tumour cells never stop multiplying, hoarding resources in the process. This is why capitalism is inherently carcinogenic: … Continue reading The Dogma of the Cancer Cell
Just as the 2026 World Adaptation Forum in Budapest was coming to an end, silence was already beginning to rewild the space we had all desperately tried to fill with our voices, structured presentations, and conversations. Overloaded with three days of caffeine and overwhelmed by a cacophony of intellectual stimulants, I dedicated my last day … Continue reading The Power of Natural Chaos
19 years ago, author and activist Naomi Klein turned the mirror on the ugly, sadistic face of our world’s economic system by coining the brilliant term Disaster Capitalism: what happens when industrialists with deep pockets and politicians with zero morals come together to engineer, create, and then exploit, large scale crises that the 1% can monetize. … Continue reading The Death Commodity: War Capitalism in the Age of AI

Nature has designed sharks so that they have far fewer viable offspring than smaller fish, not only so … Continue reading The Real Reason Why Human Population Must, and Will, Crash
When a society is hijacked by parasites, it is only a matter of time before it breaks down. The oligarchs are running the show and have turned governments from governing entities to machines of wealth transfer from the 99% to the 1%. As Americans move into their cars in their millions, and college graduates move in back … Continue reading How The World Ends
As Iceland becomes the 5th country to withdraw from the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, the annual music festival which is Europe’s biggest cultural event and one of the world’s most watched, news coverage fails to scratch below the surface on what this means beyond Eurovision, beyond TV, beyond even politics. What is happening to Europe’s biggest cultural … Continue reading The Dark Lesson of Eurovision 2026 No One Talks About
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
