The most effective way to undermine a democracy today is to purchase it and force each citizen to buy a share in it. In one step you have seized power and eliminated all potential opposition. This is not a new political system. Rather, it is the end of politics altogether. Power today has been transferred … Continue reading Systemic Terrorism and The Illusion of Democracy
Evolving Into One 3.5 billion years ago, life began to emerge on Earth. A single, lonely cell, the ancestor which we share with every other life form on the planet, began to diverge into unique individual species. At first, only a handful of fragile life forms existed, barely distinguishable from each other. Fast forward a … Continue reading The False Narrative of Conflict
Beyond The Petri Dish: Human Consciousness in the Time of Collapse, Apathy and Algorithms We are experiencing an era of unprecedented cognitive dissonance. Despite incredible advances in our capacity to access information and “truth”, we have reached a terrifying all-time high for apathy.

The Thing is getting much more than us out of this human / machine partnership deal. It is getting the most precious commodity: data. It is beginning to own us, and our only planet.

For a species who invented the concept of personal ownership, it was very ironic yet at the same … Continue reading Human Pets of the Consumaverse
A successful business is one which can create more of itself, regardless of cost to humans or the planet. Unless it has aggressive plans to expand, a business today should have little reason to exist. This dogma of expansion now pervades all economic activity: businesses must collaborate with the Unhappiness Machine of marketing, religion, the … Continue reading When Profit Grows a Brain: the rise of sentient necrocapitalism

It is the teenager walking up to the fridge, taking whatever they need without ever wondering who went grocery shopping, how much it cost, and who paid the electric bill. This lazy formula of existence has been so easy and straightforward, so successful and … Continue reading The Civilisational Lie

All civilisations eventually reach the point where they fail to keep track of all that they have created. They become blind to their past, cut off from any memory of their beginnings, like traumatised orphans who never met their real parents or, smartphone users with no knowledge of how a smartphone is made, or what … Continue reading A New Spiritual Geography: The Revenge of The Landfills
