Lazy artist, with a love for snowboarding and mountain biking. Utterly horrified by our current human world. In order to change the world we have to change humans. What we value, how we value it, how we speak, how we think. From Chimp to Bonobo.

More than ten years ago, I started my "Hannah Arendt" drawings series in my artwork. I lamented that the (Western) world needed thinkers like her desperately but did not have them.
Today, I stand corrected.

Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead.

It’s a momentous (and I believe deliberate) failure of the broken mainstream media to insist on a neutral stance instead of reporting the horrible facts truthfully. You are not supposed to be neutral about authoritarianism, racism, fascism, tyranny.

Neutrality and objectivity are not the same thing and are, in fact, often contradictory goals. The objective truth is often not neutral in its political implications, and it would be a useless exercise if it was.
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.
