This system still wants us to buy houses, own cars, and pay our electric bills, but it is taking our jobs away. I’m a Gen Xer in my 50s feeling almost as fucked as Gen Z by a system that refuses to hire tenured professionals as much as it willingly cancels entry-level graduate jobs, condemning … Continue reading The Spurned Generation
Just as the 2026 World Adaptation Forum in Budapest was coming to an end, silence was already beginning to rewild the space we had all desperately tried to fill with our voices, structured presentations, and conversations. Overloaded with three days of caffeine and overwhelmed by a cacophony of intellectual stimulants, I dedicated my last day … Continue reading The Power of Natural Chaos
Time To Give this Collapsing Death Cult the Middle Finger Like all tyrannies, this economy relies on psychological and financial extortion to bully us into working for a system that bullies the planet.
