How Might We Undermine the PMC?
How Might We Undermine the PMC? Fourteen years ago, I wrote a very long article that became the lion’s share of Chapter Two of Keith Farnish’s book Underminers. My article was about the Tools of Disconnection — the cultural mechanisms by which we became disconnected from each other and the more-than-human world, and hence willing and able […]
Childhood: Conditioned to Pretend to Know
Childhood: Conditioned to Pretend to Know New Yorker cartoon by the late Charles Barsotti When I was a young child, I would look at my parents and other adults interacting with each other, with a mixture of bewilderment and amazement. “Surely”, I thought to myself, “they don’t really believe what they’re saying.

Don’t Be Surprised by Authoritarianism
Don’t Be Surprised by Authoritarianism Kids are conditioned from birth to submit to authority. Most kids are conditioned almost from day one to obey arbitrary authority. No one attempts to explain or justify the source of the parent or teacher’s authority; no consent is sought, and no choice is offered. Schools demand complete conformity to […]
C-Section Awakenings
C-Section Awakenings Speaking from painful experience, the deeper the conditioning the more difficult the awakening.
