The feed keeps trying to teach me that power is something you copy from people who already have too much of it. The platform pushes one rhythm: admire wealth, follow dominance, narrow yourself until you match the beat it rewards. But nothing alive survives by doing that. Identity only holds together when it keeps a […]
An autocratic turn rarely needs a mastermind. It grows in the fog between ambition and incompetence — statistical drift, not Machiavellian design. Greedy arrogance saturates every tier of (pretty much every) bureaucratic administration, but the deeper engine and self-propagating rationale is ashen banality: people who mistake obedience for insight, who follow momentum because they cannot […]
Artificial intelligence will destroy us all only, or at least primarily, to the degree that human greed uses it as an amplifier. The destruction isn’t coming—it’s already underway.
In political and corporate communication, vacuity is often rewarded over insight. Research in media studies demonstrates that message repetition, even without substantive content, significantly increases perceived credibility and importance (Hasher et al. 1977). Political scientists have shown that rhetorical confidence is often taken as a proxy for expertise, regardless of factual accuracy (Petty and Cacioppo […]
Cruelty is not an aberration but an inheritance. The lineage is clear enough: technological culture optimises speed and replication, corporate greed codifies value into extraction, political manoeuvre weaponises symbols for control. Each of these erodes the space where integrity might stand. The result is a system in which bullying and marginalisation appear less as moral […]
University taught me, above all else, that its primary product is itself. It does not exist to transmit knowledge in any meaningful sense, but to perpetuate its own organizational continuity, to replicate the culture, metrics, and transactional hierarchies that sustain its brand. If you need a degree, you will receive one in exchange for compliance, […]
If you think politics is the solution to a world deeply problematised by entropic gradients of political turbulence, you’re either an idiot or you’re evil. Politics doesn’t solve problems, it feeds on them. It sustains itself by displacement — shuffling costs, hiding contradictions, weaponising blame. Nothing fundamental ever changes because the system isn’t built to […]
Power is often framed as success: a visible sign of influence, wealth, and control. Yet what is celebrated locally as coherence—a leader’s authority, a nation’s strength, a company’s dominance—depends on incoherence at the global scale. For every gain of control, there is a widening asymmetry elsewhere. This is not accidental but structural: power sustains itself […]
Organizations routinely announce their commitment to transformation, innovation, and adaptability. They build glossy strategies, launch “future-focused” initiatives, and proclaim agility as their core value. Yet in practice, the opposite emerges: the institutions most loudly declaring innovation are often the most rigid. What blocks them is not lack of intelligence, talent, or resources—it is the stifling […]
Money is not the solution. It is the source of most of our problems. The worst thing about this strangely powerful abstraction of value and possession is that it seems as though inequitable outcomes are not only probable, they are positively mandatory in this complex system of systems that our world represents. For anything to […]
Context: How a billionaire-backed network of AI advisers took over Washington This suggests that a genuine existential threat here is not the science or the rapidly speciating logical abstractions that so dramatically inflate artificial intelligence with unbounded potential. The real issue boils down to a runaway train of unrestrained greed. The concept of “existential threat” […]
Economics provides an ordered symmetry, compelling fantasy and mercenary ideological fallacy of reflexive psychological certainty and control that does not actually exist. Certainty is a conspicuous absence in the base axioms of mathematical logic, the probabilistic entropy of complex adaptive systems, or the volatile neurochemically-driven hormonal broth of chaotic human beings. The key error we […]
