This newsletter is my main income. It is free to subscribe, but thank you to everyone who paid to support my work 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 … Continue reading Technophilia: The Mental Illness Behind Civilisational Collapse

For a society that does everything in its power to distract itself from its mortal predicaments, it is an irony that it is host to an economic system which worships death through and through, down to the core operating principles of its foundation. Capitalism is a funeral business enriching itself through extinction, extraction and inequality. … Continue reading YOLO Economics: The Macabre Business Continuity Plans of Necrocapitalism
The war humanity is waging on all other species has already killed much of the ecosystem. The superorganism is dying. Rather than celebrating our shared chemical and genetic lineage, we have been in war with other life forms since the beginning of time. Our track record is one of genocide and extinction, because this is … Continue reading A Civilisation Built on Conflict and Supremacy
The worst enemy of truth is half-truth. Decades of programming have overloaded us to the point where we only pay attention to headlines, not the facts (or absence thereof) behind them. The consumatronic farm has bred any curiosity out of modern humans and replaced it with apathy on steroids. As truth becomes diluted by a … Continue reading Media In the Post-Reality World
In the same way it consumed natural resources to exhaustion, capitalism turned each human into a disposable pair of hands. All the crimes humanity perpetrated on this planet, it has also perpetrated on itself: destruction, extinction and exploitation are not side effects but essential elements of this civilisation’s operating system. We live in a … Continue reading The Human Necrocapital
The reason Earth’s economy never endures boom-and-bust cycles is that everything in nature is reusable: someone's trash becomes someone else's food, on a planet where it is impossible for an ecosystem to ever go bankrupt. The remarkable feat of 10 million species coexisting in a small planet has only been possible because Earth long ago … Continue reading Earthconomics 101: There Is a Killer on the Loose
The economic war between US and Canada, Mexico or China is only the fine script in the much wider economic war taking place between a bankrupt humanity on one hand, and an equally bankrupt Earth on the other. The real war of tariffs is taking place between two much less known economies: the human Ponzi … Continue reading The Extinction Tariff
With a brain no longer fit for a world of scarcity, humans meet the definition of an evolutionary dead-end: a species unable to adapt. Extinction events occur when environmental conditions change too rapidly for organisms to develop evolutionary adaptations, and this is precisely what is happening to humans. Runaway climate change is altering Earth too fast … Continue reading Final Destination: Extinction
Our naturally dismissive attitude towards impending disasters is woven into the geological history of this planet. Our brain did not evolve in the midst of catastrophes, but during one of the most climatically stable and abundant times in Earth’s history. Resources were infinitely plentiful in relation to our consumption, and the climate remained stable enough … Continue reading A Brain from Another Time
