The system rapes the natural world at an unsustainable rate
the poor go into indentured labour
the middle classes into debt based servitude
the rich play their fiddles

Morals
The guys that put the guys in charge are the guys in charge. Hence they put guys in charge that aren’t any threat to the guys in charge.
Look at the Donald and the soon to be Boris (Alex), sure they can have the top job because representative democracy is a total joke. A slight generalisation to be sure but people elect idiots because the guys in charge plant the idiot ideas in their minds through the media they are also in charge of.
Worth reading Albert Camus:
“There can be no question of holding forth on ethics. I have seen people behave badly with great morality and I note every day that integrity has no need of rules”
Integrity has alas no longer a broadly recognised social value. This large scale embrace of what once were considered, and still are in point of fact, seven deadly sins, is a social evolution sponsored by those in charge of value-making.
It bodes ill, not only in a Christian or moral sense, but in the terms of the building of ideals to acheive social goals. When everyone is only concerned for themselves you get a form of ego-inspired anarchy where nothing exists except for oneself.
If that doesn’t concern you then time to read Orwells “How the poor die”, the fate of the 95% is reaching out to the rest of us.
We have built an infrastructure that cannot be maintained, in order to finance the present overshoot and pretend tha business as usual is a viable proposition we are selling the future into a natural resource debt that is potentially fatal not only for most species but also for most of humanity.
And those in charge have determined that the only way of propagating this myth of eternal growth is by corrupting individual morals to the point where the cure is viewed to be worse than the disease. Those that make the running would rather embrace total disaster than give away a dime.

With(out) power
The digital transformation
No power
No music
No social network
No money
No food
Just in time infrastructure
Uses energy to arrive
just in time
to keep us alive
I made a hard copy
of my wife and daughter
just in case the power goes out

The cat
Framing the question, is the cat actually there?
So the partial is thought to exist,
when and where it is observed.
What if the particle,
has in fact
The potential to be everywhere
Are our senses,
essentially misleading us?
In such.
We can only observe,
that which we can see, feel or touch.
The truth
of observation.
Must be.
That there are things
we cannot see.

Ask the people 2
Pissed off at your kids giving a damn?
EROI of energy available to do work peaked in 1920’s
burning 100million years worth of stored solar energy in 200 odd years is frying the planet, and the oceans
Consumption based overpopulation means humans are using the biosphere at an unsustainable rate and outcompeting other species leading to the mass extinctions
pollution is taking care of the rest, plastic, inorganic solvents, heavy metals all creeping up the food chain
the weapons industry is the single biggest contributor to Global GDP
50 plus years of consumptive propaganda means that the addicts don’t want to stop even when the end result starts slapping them in the face
problem with the news is that most of it is designed to distract you from all of this so the industrialist can keep getting the riches in while there is still a few good bits left.

Life
straight to the pointy end,
life is planetary.
The millennial aims to consume it, and
replace the real with a digital representation,
Which reality is within our grasp.
We’ve talked about value,
of the mercentalisation of everything.
Use the biotope to create waste
to destroy habitat and ecology,
in the hope of more success.
Discussions of goal state.
Growth must.
As we eat the planet,
maintenance costs are already more,
than the future can afford.
Distraction the paramour,
enamoured with our multicellular entanglement,
we view the destruction with amusement.
Life as information,
hardens to the screams.
