Societies were formed not to evolve, but to obey, and what we tend to affectionately call “social evolution” was merely the aftermath of succumbing, and then adapting to, ever changing forms of oppression. Much like farm animals on growth hormones, humans can easily live the entirety of their existence sustained by the distractions of a … Continue reading End-Stage Necrocapitalism: Fumbling Towards The Exit
I normally don’t expect a nature hike in the clean suburban air of my beach town to turn into a back-to-the future, post-apocalyptic excursion into the remnants of an extinct society. But hey ho, after we had climbed up the hill, enjoyed spectacular views and traversed a forest that was literally dying for a drink of October … Continue reading They Came. They Danced. They Went Extinct
Humans were not corrupted by capitalism. They created it because they were corrupt in the first place. Capitalism has been accused of creating today’s selfishness, individualism and narcissism, but these vices pre-existed. Capitalism merely came along to monetize them. Greed was there from the start. Capitalism was the app that codified, amplified, digitized and weaponized it. It … Continue reading A 400-Word History of Capitalism
How The Freest Slaves In The World Got Duped The best moment to rob someone of their freedom is when they have taken it all for granted; or better yet, when they have forgotten what freedom was in the first place. This is precisely what has happened to Americans over the past century: consumerism replaced … Continue reading Oh Say, Can You See, We Have Never Been Free
The world is being turned into a dystopia of extreme inequality by those determined to blackmail 8 billion humans into destitution. The collusion between power and wealth has new precision tools, an upgraded game plan, and a new vision for an oppressive society none of us will be able to opt out of. So far, … Continue reading Don’t Eat The Rich! Abolish Them For Good
Humans would like to believe that they represent the forefront of evolution, but there are other forms of life on Earth, both natural and artificial, that supersede them. The most terrifying life form on the planet right now is our economic system: a logistical network originally developed by humans to serve humans, but which now … Continue reading Is This Where The Human Evolution Journey Ends?
All power corrupts, brain power being no exception. As it enlarged over millions of years, the human brain eventually became big enough to constitute a formidable weapon of mass destruction. Humans became an existential threat to the planet, now that nothing could stand in their way. The tremendous competitive advantages of our large brain led … Continue reading A Brief History Of The Human Brain: How We Got It All Wrong
Everything humans have achieved to this day was precariously built on the great myth of growth: the belief that this civilisation can continue to dig its own hole without ever falling in. Perpetuating the myth of growth meant keeping citizens hostage to the Ponzi scheme of ecological fraud: by forcibly making us stakeholders to this scheme, we had everything … Continue reading Truth In The Time Of Collapse
The belief that a small group of individuals forming a “government” can be trusted to represent the best interests of its people has been one of the most disastrous leaps of faith our civilisation ever took. Some may argue that as our societies grew, we had no choice but to form administrative superstructures that could … Continue reading Governments: Did We Ever Really Need Them?
