The Unbearable Lightness of Entertainment

Entertainment has become indispensable to the necrosystem both as a distraction and a buffer against truth.  Making light of disasters is the most effective way to normalise crises and deflect from any serious conversation attempting to zoom in on culprits.  Fortunately for the ruling classes, people desperate for distraction love to be entertained and it … Continue reading The Unbearable Lightness of Entertainment

In The Age of Infinite Consumer Choice, The Only Choice is Collapse

I was asked during an interview by an American institution what choices do we have in the current environment: Trump, fascism, etc.  As a determinist, I don't believe choice exists.  It doesn't mean we shouldn't fight for choice, but the chances of avoiding the inevitable demise of humans are slim to none.  The US political … Continue reading In The Age of Infinite Consumer Choice, The Only Choice is Collapse

The Consumatronic Dystopia

Our economic system has preyed upon our survival instincts to turn us into insecure consumatrons.  The more we define ourselves by what we own, the more this system owns us.  We have come to a point in our history where our sense of self-worth is drawn not from self-respect, but from our level of access … Continue reading The Consumatronic Dystopia

The Extinction Tariff

The economic war between US and Canada, Mexico or China is only the fine script in the much wider economic war taking place between a bankrupt humanity on one hand, and an equally bankrupt Earth on the other.  The real war of tariffs is taking place between two much less known economies: the human Ponzi … Continue reading The Extinction Tariff

The Age of the Farmed Consumatron

It is both interesting and terrifying that the survival of this economic system has become more important than the survival of humanity.  The necrosystem only cares about propagating itself, which it achieves by farming more humans and creating more consumer needs.  Human society did not simply invent business.  It has become a business all to … Continue reading The Age of the Farmed Consumatron

The Biggest, Oldest Economy In The World Is Burning

With any economy, the faster you grow and expand, the sooner you die, just like an obesity patient.  There is, however, one economy in the world who has got it right.  It neither grows nor dies, and actually manages to stay the same, or at least it did, until recently.  It is the oldest economy … Continue reading The Biggest, Oldest Economy In The World Is Burning

City of The Burning Angels: A Prequel to Civilisational Collapse

The escalating financial cost of the climate crisis is beginning to bankrupt US disaster aid agencies while putting the final nails in the coffin of the already collapsing home insurance industry.  Approaching $300 billion and counting, the LA inferno has already become the costliest US disaster, beating Hurricane Katrina by $100 billion. With an increasingly … Continue reading City of The Burning Angels: A Prequel to Civilisational Collapse

Ten Things You Can Do to Help the Economy Crash Even Harder this Christmas

The sooner and harder the global economy crashes, the faster we can transition to a social transformation where the people own the economy, rather than the economy owning them.  The more of us realise that modern civilisation has failed us, the bolder our imagination will gallop in envisioning new societies based on the human and … Continue reading Ten Things You Can Do to Help the Economy Crash Even Harder this Christmas

Necrocapitalism A to Z: A Reference Necroglossary

The Necroglossary is included in my book In The Grip of Necrocapitalism: The Making and Breaking of a Psychonomy Algorithmocracy A techno-fascist dystopia where highly intelligent algorithms manipulate public opinion to control power.  Self-trained on consumatrons' digital footprint, the algorithms personify themselves as human and easily achieve propaganda objectives requiring very minimal human input.  The algorithmocracy … Continue reading Necrocapitalism A to Z: A Reference Necroglossary

The Fraud of Satan Claus

Santa is a great salesman.  He is a public relations spokesman for capitalism, and the first politician and influencer that human children are exposed to as they grow up.  This is the critical age when all children learn the very important message: “only through presents and products can a human being ever reach happiness”.  By … Continue reading The Fraud of Satan Claus
