Greta Thunberg has spoken prophetically: our […]
Technology Spurs On Our Ability To Deceive

A globalised solar-powered future is wholly unrealistic – and our economy is the reason why
A globalised solar-powered future is wholly unrealistic – and our economy is the reason why Over the past two centuries, millions of dedicated people – revolutionaries, activists, politicians, and theorists – have been unable to curb the disastrous and increasingly globalised trajectory of economic polarisation and ecological degradation. This is perhaps because we are utterly trapped in flawed […]
