🔍 Revisiting My Research! 🔍

I wanted to take a moment to revisit an article I'm proud of: published in Derecho Animal: revistes.uab.cat/da/article/v...

From the creators of post-truth, now we have post-ethics. We are living in an incremental joke and they just want to deliver more and more.

Nero setting Rome on fire, oil on canvas

Can we call it fascism, or do we still have to wait for the blood?

Forcibly displacing people is a crime against humanity. What we have here is conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity. It's as simple as that. The problem is that criminals today feel so empowered that they do it in plain view and in front of the cameras

We understand the ending; it will be, as it always has been, profoundly tragic.

In a world where data is the new blood, we face a critical challenge: the potential erosion of personal freedoms. The unchecked power of tech giants risks undermining democratic values and individuality. It's imperative to ensure that tech promote freedom and ethics. #Data #Freedom #EthicalTech

The 2025 inauguration highlighted a pivotal moment where tech leaders like Bezos, Zuckerberg, Pichai, and Musk completly merge with power. This concentration of influence poses a serious risk to democracy and the multipolar system. #Inauguration2025 #TechPriests #Democracy

Kindness: The Evolutionary Leap Beyond Fear in Uncertain Times Kindness: our evolutionary leap beyond fear. In facing climate change and global unrest, compassion is our strongest ally

In turbulent times, kindness is our greatest.

It triggers positive biological responses, reduces stress, and inspires others. Kindness isn't just moral - it's an adaptive strategy.

Navigating Post-Normality: Technology, Climate Chaos, and the Order of Simulacra In today's digital era, Baudrillard's simulacra challenges our grasp on reality, urging us to seek genuine connections.

🌍 Diving into Jean Baudrillard's "simulacra" highlights our complex relationship with reality in today’s world. As technology evolves, we often lose sight of genuine connections, obscured by representations.

Today is #HumanRightsDay. Let's reaffirm the fundamental rights and principles that belong to all people.

Safeguarding human rights is essential for justice and peace. As global citizens, we must champion these ideals.

This Black Friday, let's reflect on how to drive meaningful economic transformation. The climate can't wait - and neither should we.

#EconomicReboot #CanWeNotThisYear

Trade wars, supply chain chaos, relentless planet degradation - and yet, the system convinces us to keep consuming. How long can we keep ignoring the writing on the wall?

#SupplyChainChaos #TradeWars #PlanetDamage

Looks like "climate apocalypse" is the seasonal theme. Again. 🎭 The planet is transforming fast - why can't we break this cycle? What would it actually take for real, sustainable change?

#ClimateEmergency #SustainableChange

Another Black Friday, another round of consumerism on steroids. 🛍️💉 Doesn't matter climate disasters, global conflicts, supply chain mess - the system pushes us to buy, business as usual, "stimulate economy." Translation: 3°C apocalypse.
