James Joyce's birthplace in Brighton Square, Dublin.

And the corner baker, where I pick up a dozen bagels every Sunday.

Forget Mars: It's Our Planet They're Taking

Thomas Harrington has written a must-read article, “You are Damaged and Only We Can Repair You” in which he looks from a literary angle at the end of our era. This is an agonizingly true take, from a bookish perspective, on something that has been clear from an industrial and economic angle: that society has come to the end of a wave and there is no sign of the next one. We are beached, and for the first time there is no industrial or cultural revolution on the horizon. Despite the hype there was no Age of the Internet. There was only the continuation of data over wires, that began with the telegraph two centuries ago, but which now flowed in greater volume, becoming an tsunami of bits that no-one really knew what to do with. Instead of revealing new industries, the most powerful impact of the Internet was to kill price discovery and arbitrage by destroying the fine mesh of business that interweaves society, thus unleashing a penny-pinching race to the bottom. In place of the archit

Information Drives the Muscles not the Brain: Education is to Blame

Edward Curtin writes in The Online Double-bind that the addiction to news on the Internet is a mouse trap that is suppressing the "lower half-head, the one that’s still thinking lead-pencil thoughts, the slow and easy stuff," the part that still thinks. I know people who still have a lead-pencil mind (who see and are motivated to sketch on paper) and I know people who now exist almost entirely within the virtual realm, whose every conversation is peppered with what they last saw or posted in the Ether. We seek news-as-gossip as a cure for our atomized society, as an escape from the home or as drugs for office chatter junkies. News affects us differently, however, depending on what we do with it. Simply retell it and we trade in stuff and nonsense. News-as-gossip draws us together, often in shared prejudice, or in short-sighted approbation or condemnation. If we are willing and able to make sense of news, it turns us inward. It draws on our private resources of knowl

Renewable Energy & The Great Reset: Handmaidens to the Cull

It's worth rewatching Jeff Gibbs' documentary Planet Of The Humans now we know more about the World Economic Forum's Great Reset. Look closely and you’ll identify a stunning similarity between the motives and modus operandi of the billionaires driving the renewable energy industry -- and the beneficiaries of Event Covid and the Great Reset. John Steppling's article on Off-Guardian shortly after the film's release justly criticized Gibbs for ignoring the toll of the military in the destruction of lands and livelihoods, along with the huge impact of military research and weapons manufacture on mining, pollution and the diversion of productive capacity into warfare. What's renewables got to do with the military? The renewable energy industry requires immense quantities of minerals, both common and rare , along with hydrocarbons (that's fossil fuels) to make and operate its technology. Those raw materials are often in third countries but let's save that dis
