Entertainment has become indispensable to the necrosystem both as a distraction and a buffer against truth. Making light of disasters is the most effective way to normalise crises and deflect from any serious conversation attempting to zoom in on culprits. Fortunately for the ruling classes, people desperate for distraction love to be entertained and it … Continue reading The Unbearable Lightness of Entertainment
Our economic system has preyed upon our survival instincts to turn us into insecure consumatrons. The more we define ourselves by what we own, the more this system owns us. We have come to a point in our history where our sense of self-worth is drawn not from self-respect, but from our level of access … Continue reading The Consumatronic Dystopia
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
It is both interesting and terrifying that the survival of this economic system has become more important than the survival of humanity. The necrosystem only cares about propagating itself, which it achieves by farming more humans and creating more consumer needs. Human society did not simply invent business. It has become a business all to … Continue reading The Age of the Farmed Consumatron
Our curiosity into ourselves has been running at a much slower pace than the one at which we have been merging with technology. Although technology is helping us discover ourselves, it also filters and distorts reality. There is less and less inquiry about how we, humans, are coping in a rapidly changing world. Without a … Continue reading Intergenerational Technological Trauma
In every pre-collapse dystopia there are three types of people: those who represent and curate it, those who have sided with it, and those who detest it. Parasites. Main driver: profit acceleration The first group needs no introduction. It represents the classic self-centred human, typically exemplified by the ruthless accelerationism of “destroy-now-pay-later” suicide economics of … Continue reading How to Survive a Pre-Collapse Dystopia: a Conceptual Segmentation
Conflict, genocide and ecocide have always relied on supremacist rhetoric. The reason we have failed to root-out prejudice, speciesism and discrimination is because supremacy, in all its incarnations, is a boundless economic powerhouse. Supremacy narratives facilitated the creation of false hierarchies which propped up power structures and enabled the worst of capitalism: black vs. white, … Continue reading Supremacy In the Mirror World
With any economy, the faster you grow and expand, the sooner you die, just like an obesity patient. There is, however, one economy in the world who has got it right. It neither grows nor dies, and actually manages to stay the same, or at least it did, until recently. It is the oldest economy … Continue reading The Biggest, Oldest Economy In The World Is Burning
The escalating financial cost of the climate crisis is beginning to bankrupt US disaster aid agencies while putting the final nails in the coffin of the already collapsing home insurance industry. Approaching $300 billion and counting, the LA inferno has already become the costliest US disaster, beating Hurricane Katrina by $100 billion. With an increasingly … Continue reading City of The Burning Angels: A Prequel to Civilisational Collapse
The sooner and harder the global economy crashes, the faster we can transition to a social transformation where the people own the economy, rather than the economy owning them. The more of us realise that modern civilisation has failed us, the bolder our imagination will gallop in envisioning new societies based on the human and … Continue reading Ten Things You Can Do to Help the Economy Crash Even Harder this Christmas
