(from Wicked7.org) You have said that your latest work – Frankenpolitics – points fingers – who for what are you holding responsible for the mess we’re in? Those who have purchased politics and democracy, and those in power who allowed themselves to be purchased. At this point both entities, that is, money and power, are behaving … Continue reading Frankenpolitics: An Interview With George Tsakraklides
Educational institutions the world over are keeping up pretences, trying to lure students with the false promise of a career which won’t exist on a collapsing planet. Academia after all, is no different than Business as Usual. Since education became a business, universities are only interested in taking your cash. Students graduate with a mountain … Continue reading Anthropocene University – Spring Registration for Classes Now Open
For a species that can calculate derivatives, project ballistic trajectories, and estimate sales volumes, it is astounding that humans stubbornly refuse to even acknowledge the negative effects of what is by far their most destructive, as well as most obvious, impact on the planet: overpopulation. You won’t hear the Roger Hallams, the George Monbiots, Greenpeaces … Continue reading Why None of These People Will Ever Talk to You About Overpopulation and Overshoot
24 hours after the US election 400 of my X followers disappeared, and the list just keeps growing. Fellow climate activists reported similar figures. I guess all those bots aren’t needed now that Putin, Trump and Musk, with the help of Kamala and her BAU friends, have achieved their objective to put the climate crisis … Continue reading Truth Wars: The Bot Industry of Climate Denial
Germany, the world’s third largest economy, is spearheading the collapse of global industrial civilisation as its GDP is set to continue its contraction into next year with no end in sight. This comes as no surprise given that Germany is the poster child for the most resource-intensive and old-fashioned industrial production model in operation: a … Continue reading The Collapse Report: Food Is Set to Become the New Automobile in a Collapsing Industrial Civilisation
It was unavoidable from our very beginnings that a species with this much in-built psychosis would only be able to give rise to a self-destructive civilisation. The full-time job of government, corporates and the media is now to simply keep everyone convinced that this self-annihilating civilisation is somehow supposed to make sense. Well, it … Continue reading Resisting the Curse of Global Capital: Transformation Through Collapse
Years ago, when I warned that one day the climate crisis will be forgotten, many didn’t believe me. Trawling through social media posts in the aftermath of Helene, I came across the pain, the suffering, anger and desperation described in the personal accounts of witnesses who lost everything: their house, their loved ones, sometimes an … Continue reading After Helene: How To Make the Climate Crisis Totally Disappear
Ancient Greeks and many other civilisations were obsessed with the concept of “sacrifice for the greater good”. They believed that if they let go of something precious, they can earn something in return. It was a naive concept made to one’s measure: you got to pick both what you wanted, as well as what you … Continue reading Trading Corpses for Rain: How Global Capital Became a Deity
As the planet slips further into “uncharted territory”, a phrase which now almost every meteorologist uses, it is time for climate science to stop pretending: to admit, publicly, that climate science as a scientific discipline is in uncharted waters itself. This admission will never happen of course, as long as scientists want to hold on … Continue reading How Global Capital Killed Climate Science
This planet may have witnessed five major previous extinction events, but it has never been boiled before this fast, this much, for this long. A combination of ecological destruction, pollution, and the expected culmination of the climate crisis over the coming hundreds of years, constitute Earth's first ever long-range sudden systemic extinction (LRSSE) event. A … Continue reading Long-Range Sudden Systemic Extinction (LRSSE): Why This Time Will Be Different
