In The Age Of The Great Meteorological Uncertainty, We Need A New Type Of Climate Science

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

As the climate slips further into uncharted territory, it is time climate science admitted that it is in uncharted territory itself. Climate science is quickly becoming an art of unreliable speculation: the models, theorems, assumptions and parameters it operates upon are based on a planet that no longer exists. Just as we were beginning to … Continue reading In The Age Of The Great Meteorological Uncertainty, We Need A New Type Of Climate Science

Is This Where The Human Evolution Journey Ends?

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Humans would like to believe that they represent the forefront of evolution, but there are other forms of life on Earth, both natural and artificial, that supersede them. The most terrifying life form on the planet right now is our economic system: a logistical network originally developed by humans to serve humans, but which now … Continue reading Is This Where The Human Evolution Journey Ends?

The False Narrative of Conflict

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Evolving Into One 3.8 billion years ago, life began to emerge on Earth. A single lonely cell, the ancestor we share with everything else that lives, began to diverge into individual species. At first, only a handful of life forms existed, barely distinguishable from each other. Fast forward a few million years and an incredible … Continue reading The False Narrative of Conflict

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

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

For a species that can calculate the speed of electrons, predict ballistic trajectories within accuracy of a centimetre, and estimate the distance to nearby stars, it is astounding that it stubbornly refuses to solve the simplest of math problems: overpopulation. You won’t hear the George Monbiots, Greenpeaces and Extinction Rebellions ever talk about overpopulation simply … Continue reading Why None of These People Will Ever Talk to You About Overpopulation.

Technophilia: The Mental Illness Behind Civilisational Collapse

This newsletter is my main income. It is free to subscribe, but thank you to everyone who paid to support my work Global capital has deceived billions who cared about the planet by selling them “green solutions” that are anything but green, simply by virtue of the fact that these solutions are products.  All products … Continue reading Technophilia: The Mental Illness Behind Civilisational Collapse

Lifecycle of a Swasticar

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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

A Civilisation Built on Conflict and Supremacy

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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

Earthconomics 101: There Is a Killer on the Loose

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

The reason Earth’s economy never endures boom-and-bust cycles is that everything in nature is reusable: someone's trash becomes someone else's food, on a planet where it is impossible for an ecosystem to ever go bankrupt. The remarkable feat of 10 million species coexisting in a small planet has only been possible because Earth long ago … Continue reading Earthconomics 101: There Is a Killer on the Loose

All Roads Lead to Self-Destruction

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

The problem with civilisation is that it is simply self-destructive: driven by profit and efficiency alone, self-programmed to implode by following a predictable recipe of maximum death/maximum profit economics.  This monstrous progeny of our greed now runs the planet.  It operates not on dreams, laughter, feelings, creativity, love, compassion or any of our best human … Continue reading All Roads Lead to Self-Destruction
