“How do we change or bypass the political and structural characteristics of modern techno-industrial (MTI) societies that result in humanity acting like a parasite on the environment?

The culture will not change until the global resources it depends on are no longer available. Oddly, no one can imagine what life was like in the '30s. Go for it, Yanks, and blame the world if you can't anymore.

War is the absolute worst use of resources in the 21st century. Financialization has made war the core business model of Uncle Sam Inc. War is an existential threat to US citizens. Figure it out fast!

Bloody wars of attrition where millions die as pawns in proxy conflicts? Check. Raw imperialist regime-change operations to seize the resources of foreign nations? Check. The creation of a global gulag system with which to contain inconvenient humans

Colonizing the Universe, together with mining in space will be preserved in legends and fairy tales nevertheless. Ones, our descendants will surely enjoy sharing around the campfire while sharpening their stone tools for next day’s hunting.

Days after the Starlink fiasco, we finally have gotten some clarification as to what really transpired behind the scenes.

Think about why you think the way you do. Intellectual defenses cannot rest on passive intelligence or cynical contrarianism (contrarians are just as prone to creating dogmas as rigid as the official lines they oppose).

He gets it. The most fragile moment in 500 years of Western imperial dominance is also its most dangerous. As power slips away, the masses are forming in a new and frightening way. And it all has to do with psychology.

Other than watching YouTube, what are people doing about this? One would hope ordinary people would find another way to govern. Oh well... Apathy around, and find out.

The world doesn't understand that Uncle Sam Inc. can do no wrong. Folks, nothing to see here. Enjoy your Pilates class or making funny slop videos.

Do ordinary people ever have a say? By the time people complain, it will already be too late, and the new normal will be accepted.

We need some critical self-examination.

Do Europeans want to go to war with Russia? If not, what will people do to make peace?

If this is acceptable, what kind of country is the USA? Let's admit it and move on to accelerating the global meltdown.

A must-read and understand book. The reviewer mentions that the author has painted himself into a corner. That corner is our global socioeconomic system. At scale, it's a kill switch. The answer lies in radical change. Odds?
