“This incredibly vibrant, busy and restless world is actually a façade for the most asleep society we have ever experienced.  The more this metaverse dresses itself up in a kaleidoscopic festival of colours, the more the lights of human consciousness fade”

“A successful business today is defined by the same criteria as a virus: how fast it can manage to create more of itself, regardless of the cost to humans or the planet”

“What if we had the courage to transform this civilisation?  In the face of global, systemic, and cataclysmic civilisational collapse, our solutions at the very least need to be global, systemic and absolutely cataclysmic through and through. This cannot be achieved by technology, but by…”

Yup!

From cigarettes to artificial intelligence, humans learned the hard way which innovations are beneficial and which need to be tolerated like a chronic disease. Civilization is an experiment, and we are mad scientists: too risk-taking, and always willing to be guinea pigs in our own research.

Is Happiness Possible In the Machine Age? As the world of machines tries to turn our life into one big transaction, genuine forms of happiness give way to counterfeit versions: goods owned, GDP units earned, number of holidays remaining.

“Hundreds of thousands of years into their history, humans are still trying to define happiness, forgetting that they were already happy when they appeared on this planet long ago”

“This corrosive system has cleverly convinced us all that we can’t live without it, when in fact we will die precisely because of it”

The difference now is that the current/upcoming technological advances are being actively and deliberately used to destroy society for the benefit of a few.

From cigarettes to artificial intelligence, humans learned the hard way which innovations are beneficial and which need to be tolerated like a chronic disease. Civilization is an experiment, and we are mad scientists: too risk-taking, and always willing to be guinea pigs in our own research.

Technology has always been ahead of humans: furiously speeding forward as society barely hangs on to the locomotive of progress, mercilessly dragged through the dirt.

“Modern business is out to kill us all. Our post-industrial business model may be profitable for the business owner, but it is overwhelmingly a loss maker for equality, environment, climate and everything that lives and breathes on Earth”
