How Christianity Committed the Ultimate Eco-Blasphemy

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Desperate to denounce their mortality, humans always found refuge in some of the most ludicrous supremacy hallucinations. The majority of these fantasies, which soon morphed into organised religions, usually concurred that humans had appeared suddenly, spontaneously, and independently from everything else, and that quite possibly they were not even originally from Earth - yet somehow … Continue reading How Christianity Committed the Ultimate Eco-Blasphemy

How They Killed Reality

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Today’s epidemic of authoritarianism is the consequence of a society that long ago embraced the values of necrocapitalist imperialism: ruthless profit, heartlessness, manipulation, and pure, unadulterated sadism toward the most vulnerable. In an increasingly remote-operated world, attributing responsibility is becoming near impossible: tyrants and oligarchs can safely hide behind layers of code, while the rest of … Continue reading How They Killed Reality

The Dream That Humanity Is Unable To Wake Up From

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Buddhists often talk about something that sounds counter-intuitive but is actually most profound: “The mind is a prison”. According to this concept, all of us can become consumed by our own thoughts to the point where we become hijacked, ceasing to pay attention to real events and stimuli from our physical environment. We begin to … Continue reading The Dream That Humanity Is Unable To Wake Up From

Truth In The Time Of Collapse

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Everything humans have achieved to this day was precariously built on the great myth of growth: the belief that this civilisation can continue to dig its own hole without ever falling in. Perpetuating the myth of growth meant keeping citizens hostage to the Ponzi scheme of ecological fraud: by forcibly making us stakeholders to this scheme, we had everything … Continue reading Truth In The Time Of Collapse

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Although society at large will never find the courage to acknowledge its existential descent, there is a growing unspoken feeling that something is fundamentally wrong with “The World”: it has simply stopped making sense. Today I pose the question: did it ever make sense? Many try to rationalise today’s state of the world as a … Continue reading Finding Meaning in An Increasingly Absurd World

Transcending The Ego: The Difficult Awakening Into Responsibility

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Reaching the Infinity State for the very first time can be a daunting experience: by connecting to the universe’s neuralink one suddenly becomes a mirror for the vastness, reflecting anything and everything, both good and bad, including all the joy and all the pain that has ever existed.  For a moment the Vastness turns the … Continue reading Transcending The Ego: The Difficult Awakening Into Responsibility

Problem-Solving Savages at the Edge of Extinction

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

All power corrupts, brain power being no exception to this. At some point in our evolution, the human brain became huge.  The tremendous competitive advantages of such a brain would unavoidably lead us to arrogance, as we became increasingly masterful at using this brain less as a reasoning device, and more as a weapon of … Continue reading Problem-Solving Savages at the Edge of Extinction
