Whenever there is a collapse, society has two choices: in the first scenario, powerful individuals grab as big a slice as they can from a rapidly diminishing pie and make a run for it in their golden parachutes. In the second scenario, societies come together and try to distribute the pie as calmly, fairly, and … Continue reading The Collapse Hierarchy of Needs
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
RELEASING: 27 May 2026 KINDLE PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE NOW One of the biggest misconceptions about collapse is that it only concerns the future or present, when in fact, human history is defined as much by its periods of growth as it is by a long list of frequent, spectacular collapse events. Whilst the symptoms of collapse … Continue reading BOOK LAUNCH: The Biology of Collapse
Every oligarch is a tumour growing at the expense of surrounding healthy tissue: the humans and other organisms making up the ecosystem. While normal cells follow a strict path of growth for only a set number of generations, tumour cells never stop multiplying, hoarding resources in the process. This is why capitalism is inherently carcinogenic: … Continue reading The Dogma of the Cancer Cell
Although most species are territorial only within their specific niche, humans have taken territoriality to planetary level. The creation of the concept of entitlement – to food, territory, and even other humans - was our attempt to rewrite ecosystem etiquette by inventing yet another moral licence for aggression. By proclaiming our unlimited entitlement to resources, … Continue reading How Extinction Was Legalised
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
War precedes the appearance of humans on the planet and, is in fact, as ancient as Earth itself. Every species has known war, and every species has evolved the art of warfare. From human Tomahawk missiles to fungal chemical weapons, wasp attacks and viral particles taking on armies of white blood cells, the best defence … Continue reading Gaia’s Revenge: Why Humans Are The New Dinosaurs
Solar power was never a human technology. It was prototyped 3.5 billion years ago by bacteria, upgraded a billion years later by Earth’s first terraforming civilisation of oxygen-producing microbes, and finally adopted by algae, higher plants and forests as the ecosystem’s official engine. Solar capture became the dominant energy currency on Earth because it was … Continue reading Toxic Biomimicry: How Humans Turned Sunlight into an Industry
This is a short piece. The longer essays go much deeper. Ecological consciousness is never a mental asset, but a spiritual muscle that humans lost long ago. It is a language that dies unspoken, a houseplant long forgotten, a desperate bird song coughing itself into a cacophonic abyss of incoming traffic. Nature is here, where … Continue reading How Humans Became Aliens on Their Own Planet — in 600 Words
How Human Exceptionalism Theories Became All the Rage, and All the Hoax When primitive humans saw that they could defeat every single predator they came across, theories of human supremacy quickly began to proliferate. These supremacy proto-theories empowered humans to further destroy the environment and drive even more species to extinction, because they provided crucial … Continue reading Were Humans Ever Intelligent?
