Look down, we stand on the bones of thousands of generations past.

Look up, an empty sky. Fermi's potential dark future.

We stand on the cusp of time, but we waste it by busying ourselves manipulating each other over profit whilst our planet dies.

We instinctively look outward for solutions. Startup culture prophets gaslight us with hype cycles of ecomodern solutions, electric vehicles and promises of space, but here back on earth Jevons Paradox and inequality keep us grounded in reality.

The only way we can solve our issues is to first look inward and be mindful of our psychopharmacology, popular delusions, thought paradoxes, cognitive biases, heuristics and psychological fallacies. Once through the smog, we will see objectively that we are in a climate crisis which is likely to lead to a collapse as we are living in a closed system and expecting infinite growth, the dominant organisation are corporates which do not take in to account externalities.100 corporations cause 71% of industrial emissions[1]. A system where rich nations are responsible for 92% of global emissions, and the richest 1% of the world population are responsible for double the pollution produced by the poorest 50%.

Given our short timeline, we cannot nudge this issue into submission. We need to come together and through transparent political action cut CO2 emissions not on the basis of net zero but by burning zero. It's a long road and there are lots of further ideas but if you want to get involved contact us.
