How did we get into such a mess?
The mess is a result of the socioeconomic outcome of the widespread adoption of #neoliberal policies and ideology.

Politicians like Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan implemented neoliberal policies on a large scale,…
The mess we have made #mainstreaming postmodernism
A complex philosophical and cultural movement of the mid to late 20th century. At its core is a rejection of objective values and beliefs, scepticism towards the idea of absolute truth, and a distrust of grand narratives. Let’s have a brief look at this and Noam Chomsky view of why this movement is still pushing…
#TED – A Community of Delusions
For millennials lost after the mess of 9/11, the wars, economic upheaval, digital division, and social atomization, #TED was an appealing #mainstreaming alternate vision—of a society where ideas had currency, and a wider group of people could identify with the intellectual vanguard.

Working with neo hippies for 20 years, they are now #mainstreaming
It’s not that weird to see billionaires sitting in luxurious ayahuasca ceremonies (facilitated by neocolonial white guys) to do “personal development” instead of funding the actual regenerative movement that we all obviously need.

A Mental Health Time-Bomb
The Imminent Collapse: The science is irrefutable: our civilization is on the brink of imminent, violent collapse due to environmental degradation and #climatechaos. Yet, the political establishment and #mainstreaming media is dominated by those who profit from this collapse, ensuring that the public remains, unfocused, uninformed and distracted by inanity and bile. This toxic combination…
The Urgent Need for Systemic Change
Our #mainstreaming paths are pushing social collapse and extinction, not due to natural calamities or unforeseen disasters, but as a result of our political decisions by those in power. These decisions, driven by corporate agenda, are pushing us down the path where millions, will perish and billions be displaced in the coming decades. The Devastating…
