The dream is over. Technology, technology companies, and integrated sociopolitical communication systems are not coming to save us. They were never neutral, and they failed at the first serious encounter with technically mediated political extremism. Not accidentally. Voluntarily. They did not merely look away. They amplified, rewarded, and normalised it, all while their balance sheets […]
I suspect we’ve only just quite recently signed away our collective future. If you can’t see or understand why this is the case, you probably never will. Humanity is accelerating downhill towards a brick wall called “reality”. The idiots are at the wheel. Brace yourself.
Artificial intelligence is the single greatest facilitator of natural stupidity. It accelerates, amplifies, and at least partially self-validates our worst impulses while reassuring us that we are becoming wiser. Most people seem oblivious to the historical thinness and transient fragility of what they hold dear — emotions, bonds, responsibilities, wealth, loss. All of it rests […]
Capitalism is not in and of itself evil. It emerged as a decentralised coordination mechanism: a way to allocate resources, distribute risk, and accelerate innovation in a world too complex for central planning. Markets lifted living standards, expanded technological capabilities, and enabled mobility across class and geography. Yet the same dynamics that reward initiative also […]
The overarching domain is the total surface where every system shapes every other, a fused topology forming a singular systems surface in which no boundary is clean and no action is local. It is the ensemble of intersecting, interdependent systemic surfaces whose shifting pressures generate the forces mistaken for, and interpreted as, discrete events. Holism […]
The system persists not because it is strong, but because responsibility for its failures is continually exported onto those with the least capacity to refuse it. Dystopian technocracy is not a future — it is the operating mode of now. Nothing is load-bearing, yet the system behaves as though its own simulations were reality. What […]
Power dresses itself in tailored certainty, but it runs on the same brittle circuits as the rest of us. The billionaires, the opportunists, the half-literate fist-pumpers who mistake grievance for strategy — they’re just another jittery species dancing under a star that occasionally throws a Carrington-class mood swing. One electromagnetic hiccup, and every boast, every […]
I spent decades preparing for real inquiry — thinking that universities existed to confront the unknown. Instead, I walked into a machine that protects itself before it protects knowledge. It acts like a guardian of truth while defending hierarchy. It talks about discovery while policing deviation. The gap between its claims and its actions doesn’t […]
Stupidity is not the absence of intelligence. It is what remains when intelligence has no traction. At planetary scale, selection pressure favours whatever travels fastest through the channels of attention, capital, and command. Systems built to maximise replication discover that nuance is drag and understanding is latency. Thought requires time; stupidity is instantaneous. In a […]
When the brute force of simple narratives overwhelms complexity, you see analysis and ethics crushed by scale. That is the moment you start to doubt purpose on this fragile, beautiful planet. Political chaos feels pre-scripted; people pivot their morals with alarming speed when pressure rises, and it’s hard to believe it was ever different. Riding […]
Tyrranical ignorance resurfaces not as a national quirk but as a communicative phenomenon: as complexity scales, systems collapse toward simpler signals — not because simplicity is true, but because it is what travels fastest and replicates most easily. Influence accrues to those who reduce the world to the fewest moving parts. What we’re living through […]
Barnaby Joyce’s sprint into One Nation marks a shift from policy argument to performance theatre. It is not a conversion so much as a wager: that in a crowded media field the shortest message wins. One Nation’s platform thrives on what could be called ideological constipation — gripping a few ideas so tightly they can […]
