As filler humans, we are entering a new slavery situation where our master is not even human. We can’t see them because they don’t have a face, and we can’t attack them because they are virtually everywhere. For a species who invented the concept of personal ownership, it was very ironic yet at the same … Continue reading Human Pets of the Consumaverse
It is ironic but not at all surprising that, for a civilisation claiming to have taken care of its most basic needs a very long time ago, its demise will come down to the one, most basic need common to all organisms: food. Civilisations may survive without technology or organised society, but they cannot … Continue reading Food, Life and Sanity: the Triple Disappearing Act
This civilisation has learned to survive by extraction, exploitation and extinction. It is the teenager 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. This lazy formula of existence has been so easy and straightforward, so successful and … Continue reading The Civilisational Lie

While their persistence and courage were admirable, the truth was that none of them had even the faintest idea of where exactly they … Continue reading To Believe
(FINE PRINT) 100 other species are going extinct daily As much as we consider Nature non-sentient, it definitely has its thinking hat on at the moment: it is beginning to tackle climate change before humans can even begin to acknowledge it. It is doing this by trying to curb human population, the number one aggravator of … Continue reading Hormonal Karma: Sperm counts are nose-diving for the most populous animal on Earth
When I was just a few years old, our family went on our first proper summer vacation. I remember being quite confused about the concept of a rented villa. This was, after all, my first time ever living in a new “home”. My mother tried to explain: “this is not a real home, we have … Continue reading Borrowed Planet
The ocean’s emerald waters are always a welcome relief for tired eyes. They are a cure for the abuse that the retina has suffered during the day, inflicted through repeated exposure to the same light wavelengths: the cheerful but blinding whites, the brutally monotonous hay yellows, and the dusty, dull browns of the height of … Continue reading Blue Rainbow
