Humans suffer from the perversion of perfectionism, which leads to insecurity, greed, selfishness, jealousy and conflict. But our nature is to be imperfect. In fact, all of nature is imperfect. Yet it continues, it survives, without ever looking back or looking down. All that matters is now. Humanity has been torturing itself since its very … Continue reading On Intelligence
All wars, conflicts, genocides and ecocides have originated in supremacy. Our civilisation has never been able to root out prejudice, speciesism or discrimination because supremacy, of all shapes and sizes, is a formidable economic powerhouse. Supremacy narratives facilitated the creation of false hierarchies which propped up power structures and enabled the worst of capitalism: black … Continue reading The New Relentless Global Threat of Supremacy
Manufactured narratives of conflict and supremacy pervade every aspect of human civilisation, even the very areas tasked specifically with questioning, challenging and reframing toxic narratives we created over the millennia. The so-called vanguards of human thought, objectivity and innovation have never been truly objective. Scientific disciplines may have invented new technologies and uncovered new knowledge, … Continue reading How Human Supremacy Killed the Search For Knowledge
Although chaotic on the surface, the ecosystem is incredibly simple in its core operating principles. But when studying ecosystems and climate systems, we always overcomplicate things. We focus only on the chaos and conflict between species and between weather elements, forgetting about the principle of balance that supersedes them. This is because we choose to … Continue reading The Myth of The Predator
As the psychonomy expanded, the planet suffered the tragic consequences of humans effectively domesticating themselves within their own prison, while at the same time outsourcing their civilisation to The Thing: an economic management authority hungry for sales data and tasked with breeding generation after generation of increasingly estranged, brainwashed and unhealthy human cattle. Most of … Continue reading Generations of Ecological Estrangement
As ancient as it is, and however many centuries it may have lasted, this unsustainable economic system was always destined to destroy itself. The narratives of our Civilisational Lie may have normalised unsustainable growth and unsustainable population, but what we, humans, consider “normal” is an impossible fantasy of our imagination. The laws of physics disagree … Continue reading The Argument for Assisted Collapse
The number of people working because it gives them meaning as opposed to simply paying for their now unaffordable rent, mortgage or dependents, has reached peak low. As for the number of people whose work agrees with their deeper ethics, values and beliefs, it is close to zero. The first lesson we learn as we … Continue reading Caution: Work Is Approaching Peak Bullshit
A lesson which humans have yet to learn from nature is to let go of self-destructive desires. Each autumn across the north and south hemispheres, deciduous trees let go of trillions of leaves. In doing so, they ensure their survival for another year. Had they attempted to hold on to those leaves, the trees would … Continue reading Degrowth: The Wisdom of Letting Go
Fascism will take away our freedoms, but our freedoms were limited to begin with. In fact, they were illusions of freedom. Because we were served an illusion of choice, and when it comes to voting choice for that matter, an illusion of democracy itself. Whether Kamala or Trump had won, this world would have gone … Continue reading Fascism and Capitalism. A Short Reference Guide on How the Two (Don’t) Differ
We live in a collapsing civilisation stepping into a cliff with its eyes closed. Fascist hate-stirrers promise to magically extinguish inflation while ignoring what is actually causing it: a climate crisis with a lethal magic trick of its own: not only will food become expensive beyond belief. It will vanish, as the audience suddenly realise … Continue reading It Is Time We Educate Children About The Coming Collapse
