The silence was horrifying as we walked amongst huge ancient rows of beech trees bathed in autumnal sunlight. Everything was so quiet that it felt almost unreal, like we had been dropped inside a postcard frozen in time and given permission to walk about for a bit before it all came back to life. The … Continue reading The Extinction Report: Journey To a Disappearing Ecosystem
In its futile quest for the ultimate delusion of immortality, humanity always sought to convince itself of the most vivid supremacy fantasy: that humans are not from Earth. The industrial revolution, the look and feel of our modern cities, our cars, our houses, were all shaped to subconsciously convince us that we are not even … Continue reading The Supremacy Sci-Fi of Human Civilisation: From Caves to Spaceships and Back to Caves
By now, it is becoming clear that capitalism is a death trap for both civilisation and the planet hosting it. Yet most of us continue to go through the motions of “work, shop, repeat”, feeling like we have no choice but to pretend that “normal life as we know it” can somehow continue. We struggle … Continue reading Revolt of the Consumatrons: Resisting Economic Growth
Every criminal can walk out of prison free if they manage to incriminate the prosecution. Global capital is a gangster who gets away with murder every single time, by implicating us into its crimes. As consumatrons we are wholly dependent on the criminal necrosystem of the human Ponzi economy. We are accomplices who are bribed … Continue reading Collective Incrimination: How Global Capital Gets Away With Everything

The idea that a small group of individuals can form a “government” representing the best interests of its people has been one of the most disastrous leaps of faith humanity ever took. Arguably, as our societies grew, we had no choice but to form these governments. Although transferring power and authority from the masses to … Continue reading How Government Became a Hiding Place for Capital
It is our biggest cognitive impediment that we have only learned to exist as a species who extracts and exploits. We remain as the teenagers walking up to the fridge, taking whatever they need without ever wondering who went grocery shopping, how much it cost, and who paid the electric bill. We never grew out … Continue reading Intro to Necronomics: Ecological Fraud and the Civilisational Lie
Thousands of years ago humans supercharged their destiny by embracing the most disruptive, powerful, and life-changing technologies. Although the agricultural, industrial, and information revolutions are traditionally discussed as discrete epochs, they are in fact part of one, big progression: our increasing capability to do things at scale; in the case of these three revolutions, to … Continue reading The Impossible Math of Growth
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 are harmful to the planet, however green their credentials might be. Bringing a product to market inflicts immense devastation: the minute a … Continue reading The Great “Solutions” Swindle: Capital, Products, Technology and the Civilisational Lie
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
