Hey, thanks for coming, if we have contacted you directly it's because we think you might be able to help. It may be that a collapse of our current societal organisation is inevitable, but perhaps here we can nurture a seed of a parallel system. This site is not being edited by a particular person but by BurnZero, the name of the anonymous collective editing it. The site consists of the ideas that we believe might be able to help us, these ideas are presented in an editable Wiki (much the same format as Wikipedia) format. Anyone can change the text by registering an account, which will record your IP in the revision history (much the same as a blockchain). We invite you to read what is below, if you would like to jump in a change something immediately please do so however, alternatively, if you would like to make anonymous suggestions use the Cryptopad below or register an account using a VPN. All changes will be reviewed by the collective and published if agreed upon. If you need help with this click here.

In health care, when a doctor is presented with a patient who is complaining of an ailment say an infection, they do not just treat the symptoms of the infection but look further into the problem to find the root cause. Say for instance you go to your doctor with a fever, a stomach ache and a rash, the best doctor will not just treat the individual symptoms but look for what is causing them. The same could be said for the ecological crisis that we now face. The key symptoms are:

• Chemical pollution
• Ocean acidification
• Ozone depletion
• Nitrogen cycle failure
• Phosphorous cycle failure
• Freshwater overuse
• Deforestation
• Biodiversity loss

As a society we have been looking at each of these problems and are trying fix them one by one.

• Consumer choice - 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions.
• Electric Vehicles - a great concept but avoids the root problem.
• Green Energy - one of the best solutions, however, it is arguable that we cannot improve our existing infrastructure to get us out of this (Jevons Paradox).

But are we wasting precious time by treating the symptoms but not the underlying cause? Are they all tributaries from a much larger source? Would it not be best to damn the river than damn each stream? There are many reasons why we have not been able to address this individually we all suffer from psychological fallacies such as heuristics and cognitive biases and collectively we are effected by popular delusions ingrained into us by social media echo chambers feeding us confirmation bias.

One uniting factor of these symptoms is the fact that they have been caused by one main type of corporate entity. Humans as individuals tend to act humanely however in groups which are united by a common cause pursuit of profit, the entity has been shown to act sociopathically i.e. ignoring the inherent externalities of profit.

Its arguable that we are governed as a Corporatocracy where economic, political and judicial system are controlled by corporations or corporate interests through lobbying mechanisms. However we need to remind ourselves in a democracy corporates can only do what they do under the authority of the state. It is the fact that they're in cahoots is the problem. This arises from during the campaign stage of any politician they need funds to pay for advertising, Facebook ads, leafleting, cold calling etc this money comes historically from corporates looking to increase profits by offering donations as a long term investment.

To combat this, for instance the Australian Government has published all donations that party candidates have received via the Australian Electoral Commission. However not many people know of this as it is difficult to find and poorly displayed. We have made a much more transparent version.

Ideally to full understand who is telling us what to do it should be mandated that all politicians wear badges much like sportsmen wear the brand of the company that is sponsoring them.
