Human Pets of the Consumaverse

As filler humans, we are entering a new slavery situation where our master is not even human.  We can’t see them because they don’t have a face, and we can’t attack them because they are virtually everywhere. 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

When Profit Grows a Brain: the rise of sentient necrocapitalism

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

The Civilisational Lie

This civilisation has learned to survive by extraction, exploitation and extinction. 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

A New Spiritual Geography: The Revenge of The Landfills

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

The Fascism of the Human Supremacy Bubble

The invention of the concept of entitlement is yet another example of the futile attempts of our species to rewrite nature’s laws.  By proclaiming ourselves “entitled” to resources like food and water, we have sought to convince ourselves that we actually “own” these resources, in unlimited quantities. Ownership, and the many entitlements that we have … Continue reading The Fascism of the Human Supremacy Bubble

The Arrogance of Empire

A spark, a hiccup. That’s all that humanity ever was on the planet’s geological timescale. A brilliant colorful flicker, a burnt fuse, then time carries on. As they grow and expand, all civilizations are easily deceived by their own momentum.  After reaching a certain size, they become arrogant enough to call themselves “empires”.  A web … Continue reading The Arrogance of Empire

A New Earth – Made out of Chaos

continued from previous “In fact, this wouldn’t surprise me at all.  It would perhaps be the missing perspective in our understanding of life, and the way that our genetic code was put together in a disordered, yet purposeful way.  All of this time science has been focusing on the sequences within our DNA that have … Continue reading A New Earth – Made out of Chaos

A New Earth – Disaster Gene

continued from previous She closed the notebook shut with a single, slow but decisive hand movement.  She kept on staring at it for a few seconds, almost in a comatose state, as she tried to wake up from her daydream.  How could it be that the entire world was sitting inside a notebook, in a … Continue reading A New Earth – Disaster Gene

Hormonal Karma: Sperm counts are nose-diving for the most populous animal on Earth

(FINE PRINT) 100 other species are going extinct daily As much as we consider Nature non-sentient, it definitely has its thinking hat on at the moment: it is beginning to tackle climate change before humans can even begin to acknowledge it.  It is doing this by trying to curb human population, the number one aggravator of … Continue reading Hormonal Karma: Sperm counts are nose-diving for the most populous animal on Earth
