Let me add another existential risk to the list. It is 2040. Technology has advances explosively, changing the face of the planet completely. As a result disparity of affluence has completely escalated. In 2040 trends current from 2013 continue, and most people in the developed world get LESS, in relative terms than they do 30…

I declare myself in favor of the immediate formation of an independant Kurdistani state. I call on Syria, Iran, Iraq, Armenia and Turkey to consent.

I normally regard Stefan Molyneux as an unmitigated, repugnant libertarian cunt, that deserves to be forcibly deported to the free trade zone of Somalia, but .. in this particular video I am mostly in agreement with his analysis.

Video coming soon.

The Dutch pirates in a very turmoiled state. Drama comes quickly in these here parts, and many people are in staunch disagreement with one another. A week ago I attended a national assembly (ALV) meeting in Delft. On an impulse I made myself available for inner membership council, and international representation, for which I both…

I call upon the people of the United States to revolt.

The following article is my first cursory post in this topic. I may have to edit the article for flow and spelling errors. If you have comments, complaints or questions please email me. I made this article available for the Pirate Party blog, KurzweilAI, TechCrunch and the IEET. If you like to reprint if, please…

(I will invariably edit this for spelling errors and messy. Stand by for final version) Several hundred million years ago a large object drifted in to the solar system. Deep inside the object was a dormant intelligence. The object swirled by the sun hundreds of times on a fast trajectory before it had sufficiently slowed…

Is our relentless quest for economic growth killing the planet? Climate scientists have seen the data – and they are coming to some incendiary conclusions. In December 2012, a pink-haired complex systems researcher named Brad Werner made his way through the throng of 24,000 earth and space scientists at the Fall Meeting of the American…

(failsafe mirror from) The following article is the exploratory article for Impact Festival (wiki), taking place in Utrecht from 30 wednesday October to Sunday 3 November in Utrecht, here. The theme for impact is “Capitalism, Catch 22“. I have been invited to speak by the people from Monnik. This article will link to the slides…

I was imagining the following purely as a speculation for the Netherlands. Like most things I write it is purely a speculative exercise, and free flow of ideas and associations within the context of the Netherlands. Feel free to follow me in my exploration, and maybe you’ll get inspired along the way. Imagine someone in…

Black Holes are collapsed stars that are so dense they have several distinctive effects on objects nearby. At the gravitational states of black holes the universe operates rather haphazardly and different from the normal universe, let alone the parochial mundaneity of our Earth’s surface. It won’t serve much use to explore in exhaustive details what…

Question Can you explain the petrodollar and its impact on our collapse? I had heard that we went from gold to fiat, then used fine print in the EPA charter to use federal lands as collateral for our federal debt. And now we have nowhere else to go but to protect the petrodollar, print money,…

When Hawks did his first laboratory experiment in december 2017 he was looking for a means to push dirt from flat screen solar panels using minimum electrical current. Hawks was a poor researcher working in some dismal US east coast laboratory and he had a pretty dismal methamphetamine habit. So he didn’t realize the implications…

It is the year 2079 I am floating in the void. This is a mission of great historical relevance. I am 350 Astronomical Units removed from earth. My signals take over two days to reach the inner solar system. I am flying solo in a private fusion-propelled yacht by the name of Stross IV. For…

Thinking about reunifying Korea is an exercise in voluntary migraine. North Korea is in a horrific state. Recently we have been told that North Korea may be close to collapse. So even if the western world (under a US led coalition, no doubt) would have any absolutely no ambition to topple the regime there, the…

The Shallow Well is a concept for a TV series, set on a lunar colony in the near future. It is the year 2034 and at the same time several groups of people make a desperate landing on the moon after being cut off from Earth. All the people that land on the moon were…
