Delusion Is The Ultimate Renewable Energy Source

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

When a species eliminates all its predators, it automatically becomes a planetary-level threat. With no ceiling to its population, humanity quickly became an unstoppable infestation that covered the planet. Nothing was spared: biome, landscape, weather, oceans. Today as we witness the aftermath of a millennia-long relentless ecological, environmental and climate holocaust, some still choose to call … Continue reading Delusion Is The Ultimate Renewable Energy Source

In The Age Of The Great Meteorological Uncertainty, We Need A New Type Of Climate Science

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

As the climate slips further into uncharted territory, it is time climate science admitted that it is in uncharted territory itself. Climate science is quickly becoming an art of unreliable speculation: the models, theorems, assumptions and parameters it operates upon are based on a planet that no longer exists. Just as we were beginning to … Continue reading In The Age Of The Great Meteorological Uncertainty, We Need A New Type Of Climate Science

Why None of These People Will Ever Talk to You About Overpopulation.

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

For a species that can calculate the speed of electrons, predict ballistic trajectories within accuracy of a centimetre, and estimate the distance to nearby stars, it is astounding that it stubbornly refuses to solve the simplest of math problems: overpopulation. You won’t hear the George Monbiots, Greenpeaces and Extinction Rebellions ever talk about overpopulation simply … Continue reading Why None of These People Will Ever Talk to You About Overpopulation.

YOLO Economics: The Macabre Business Continuity Plans of Necrocapitalism

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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

A Civilisation Built on Conflict and Supremacy

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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

Media In the Post-Reality World

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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

The Human Necrocapital

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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
