The reason why there are thousands of times more small fish in the ocean compared to sharks is very simple: sharks eat a lot more, so they come at a very high resource cost to the ecosystem. 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
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

It represents the classic self-centred human, typically exemplified by the ruthless accelerationism of “destroy-now-pay-later” suicide economics of … Continue reading How to Survive a Pre-Collapse Dystopia: a Conceptual Segmentation
Our brain has a tremendous affinity for stability. It desperately wants to believe in an unchanging world, even as the world changes. In fact, our brain is so obsessed with stability that it constantly convinces itself that the world is barely in flux. This make-believe stability appears to be fundamental to our feeling of safety, … Continue reading Collapse 101: Climate Denial and the Trauma Response
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
