Pro-civilian, curious, multi-versed, and prose-bound too. A teacher of languages and psychology navigating this chaosmos. Writing on control, collapse, and what gets erased when we call it “progress.” Humane, not a bot.
1/2 Decarbonization has become just another industrial race. It doesn’t address the deeper environmental devastation threatening humans and all species — and in some ways, it could even make it worse.

The Nazi regime made grand promises of progress:industry, technology,”national renewal.”They took massive public funds upfront, wrapped it all in propaganda,and like Musk, rarely delivered.

If me of all people ever uses such terms about someone's mental health,
they need a long stay in a secure psychiatric ward.
I'm quite agog at the state of the world we've built for ourself.
I for one hail the rise of our new Rat overlords

Zuckerberg and Chan are pouring billions into AI-powered biology — building “virtual cells” to merge human biology with their tech. They call it philanthropy, but since it’s tax-deductible, you’re covering up to 70% of the bill.

Remember the guy whose own research showed his platform was harming teenage girls —but he hid it and did nothing?Now he wants to be the future of health.The same clique that mocked the Pope for calling for moral discernment in AI now wants to fuse you with their machines —all under “philanthropy.”

When all this frenzy about nuclear energy started,I warned about this — the long-term fallout of ignored or unreported “minor” leaks.As exposure accumulates,we see more cancers, thyroid disorders,birth defects, genetic mutations, organ damage, and ecological collapse.

Marc Andreessen mocking the Pope—the spiritual leader of over1B people—for saying AI should have moral discernment says everything about Silicon Valley,the machines you’re using,and why you shouldn’t trust them. They mock morality yet expect you to hand them your data, health, government, and mind.

Incredible. The billionaires are emailing each other trying to understand why Millennials don’t love capitalism — like it’s a mystery that can be solved with a spreadsheet. When the guy ranting about the Antichrist is the reasonable one in the room, you know the system’s cooked.

In the 1990s and early 2000s when everyone was talking about how Berlin property was bound to rise — the city sold thousands of public apartments for next to nothing.
Now, with prices sky-high, Berlin wants to buy properties back to rebuild its public stock.
Suspicious, isn’t it?

The higher a psychopath climbs, the greater the harm. Now imagine global power—governments, corporations, AI development—driven by people or systems that reward psychopathy: no empathy, no accountability, no sense of limit. The result isn’t leadership; it’s planetary harm.

This isn’t capitalism anymore — it’s economic feudalism. The rich fund the rulers, the rulers kill free public programs, and everyone else pays for it. Wealth writes the rules; the rest just follow.

Detail: insulin was discovered and developed entirely through publicly funded research. It was public science, not a private-sector innovation
Ironically, over time insulin became heavily commercialized, and today a few corporations control much of the global supply.
