What are you trying to do?

I don't enjoy the modern day to day life. Do you? Nine to five is where it starts. Television or video games to decompress. mindless monotony and a complete lack of purpose. To steal from 'Fight Club' "This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time." And worse, this mindless space monkey assembly line of rubbish that we all have to put in our nine to five is driving us headlong towards total destruction. We aren't just wasting our lives on pointless bulls**t, we're collectively destabilizing the planet's ecosystems and damaging the future of ever child both born and unborn. We are doing rubbish work that we hate, five days a weeks, in exchange for the privelege of being the generation who destroyed the world.

That's not good.

That's not good and I want no part of it.

I want something better. But nobody is offering better.

Faced with this stark reality, I've gone through several stages. I got angry. I got depressed. I got anxious. I got nihilistic. And in the midst of all of this happy fun time, I occasionally get inspired.

That's now, If you're wondering.

I've been obsessively researching, thinking and collecting for the last decade and a half on how to deal with the problem of civilization. I call it the problem of civilization, because there really isn't one discrete problem. The problem isn't income inequality, or pollution, or unsustainable use of non-renewable resources, or crony capitalism, or or or or or or...

The problem is that the system we live in is broken. Based upon the idea of limitless growth (and more growth each year than the year before no less!), and worse, the idea of limitless growth with the decidedly limited laboratory that is planet Earth. I wanted to save things, to solve things, but that isn't going to happen.

We aren't going to change until change is forced upon us, and then it will be far too late to escape significant consequences for our inactions. It is already far to late to avoid significant consequences.

So. What are you trying to do?

I'm trying to do three things. I'm trying to work out and then spread the word on an alternate method of living, one that doesn't depend upon an endlessly gluttonous sustainable system. I'm trying build up a group (cult) of like minded people interested in helping build and spreading this alternate method. And last, I'm hoping to use this potential future network to enact an evil nefarious scheme which I will reveal only to good cultists (and may not have one at all!).

So there you go.
