Between the meta-crisis and collapse we swim in the sea of hope, hope that a.i. doesn\u2019t build a drone army to end us, or the WEF put you in a cage with a wheel to run in, but also in the hope some of us manage to get into cohesive coordinated groups and build nature based, well fed, well housed communities, organic villages where local food and wanting the best for each other is what\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The owners of the machine that turns stuff into money and using their already more than they need amount of money, to make even more money they don\u2019t need, will keep poisoning and stripping the earth till our stunningly beautiful home planet is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To some I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll come across as quite radical, but how many years of the rat race is needed before we all see the code is full of malware, that the few have created a system where, via their wealth they leverage and control the economic system, coercing, browbeating, and bullying humanity to be units on their profit farm. We have become as livestock. They will own everything and have you pay to use it. They don\u2019t want to lift anyone out of poverty, you\u2019re much easier to manage if you\u2019re 3 paychecks from homeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cities full of consumers, who give 20% or more of their earnings in profit to corps, asset management, landlords etc. Creating an owners and payers model that is plain fucking evil the way it will extort and exploit people into poverty. People paying $500 out per week for food, car\/fuel, rent\/mortgage, electricity etc, and 20% of that is profit, for every 100 people, that\u2019s $10,000 a week for someone in the 1%. Profit is violence, it pays for private jets and govt policy, not your food, health or home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Herded by robber baron racketeers into their profit farm, a gamefied rat race where you have to run in a hamster wheel to be able to have food and a place to sleep, there are people who run it and profit from it all, they are called billionaires, they also run the govt now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The economy is not a measure of well being, it\u2019s a measure of how much more has been taken than was needed, from the earth and the well being of those creating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have so many visible symptoms and signs of a system with problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cascading biodiversity collapse, pollution, the toxic effect of chemical and industrial commodification for profit. A world with war and ai robots, soon all your spending, activities and habits will be monitored by your very own Agent Smith, not for your benefit, for the benefit of the ones that profit from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve seen it, you cant unsee it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are living in a society that\u2019s being manipulated to tear itself apart into fragmented individuals who have no agency and no ability to unite as agentic collectives, the only one of those that’s allowed is the political, economic, body corporate of the financial system, the central banks that lend and transact between counties and mega corps. The owners of the data centres, the oil, the food chain, the purse stings of the world. Using any and every technique available, ethical or not, to extract the maximum profit possible from the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nature, the force, the process, what the universe came from, is made of, and doing, the thing that got from molten rock to me and you, flowers rain, antelope, a self watering garden of beauty and diversity, and we\u2019re gonna defile and destroy it to make the rich super rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To me it feels like there\u2019s a job to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looks like getting people to the other side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To where they\u2019re living with purpose again, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
living in service of nature and their own hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We need to decide our fate, redefine the goals of what it is humanity is doing here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The end point for human evolution is surely high IQs, awesome food and living conditions, and becoming supernatural beings on our beautiful home planet and beyond, not for us to become commodified units on a profit farm that leaves a toxic, infected wasteland for our children’s children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also believe that fighting this monster is to misplace our energy, we cant petition it, or protest it away. We need to create the the thing we do want, a society that grows its own local food, houses its people, has free universities and healthcare, we can have this by building it ourselves and time is running out, we need to get tactical and buy good land before it\u2019s all corporate owned. You don\u2019t have to step very far back to see where its all headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choosing to build the new thing looks like the best plan to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
