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
We are being told by CEOs, self-proclaimed futurists, visionaries, technology gurus and Silicon Valley geeks with millions of followers and thousands of books sold, that AI will bring about a never-before-seen abundance, after a “short rough patch” of adjustment. I’ve watched a number of talks, interviews and discussions online with these experts over the years, … Continue reading AI Won’t Destroy the World. Humans Using AI Will.
While humans achieved impressive technological accomplishments inside their busy cities, they had failed to equally develop all parts of themselves. If anything, over centuries they devolved into a species with a lost identity, meaning or purpose, core elements of the psyche that were neglected and sidelined by the whiplash of technological “progress”. These huge widening … Continue reading The Loneliness of a Dying Parasite
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
(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
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
Those aged up to 27 and who are currently approaching adulthood, are growing up in the most frightening, daunting version of this world humanity has ever seen. Everything is stacked up against them. Injured by two global financial crises, mentally and physically damaged by pandemics and wars, and knowing they are growing up in a … Continue reading Collapse Report: The Gen Z Revolt Is Here
I understand that many Democrat voters at this stage hate Republicans so much. After all, their fundamental human rights are being attacked. What I don’t understand though is how naïve Democrats are to not be able to diagnose the issue, what brought us here. They are supposed to be the "smart, educated" ones and they … Continue reading This American Hate
As a desperate yet foolish humanity attempts to escape the fires and floods it set in motion, the likelihood is that it will follow the same ancient knee-jerk reactions it always has: looking for solutions in half-baked technology and “destroy-now, pay-later capitalism”, than look deep within itself. Worse even, it will continue to set off … Continue reading The Big Unconsciousness: The Rain in Spain Has Come Here to Remain
