The proverb is an apt metaphor for the geological history of the planet as the climate crisis unfolds, but also a tragic irony given that it is a literal description of what is happening on the ground. ## [The Long Flatline: In a Selfish Society, do “Systems” Actually Exist?](https://georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/the-long-flatline-in-a-selfish-society) _2026-08-18 · George Tsakraklides · The George Tsakraklides View_ The world keeps going about its daily business like a zombie pretending it hasn’t burned out yet. But as it whispers to itself through the flames “this is fine”, the corrosive fumes of an industrial civilisation undergoing autophagy become potent hallucinogens. ## [Rewiring How We Talk About Change – Part I](https://georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/rewiring-how-we-talk-about-change) _2026-08-14 · George Tsakraklides · The George Tsakraklides View_ Given that all economic, political and social systems consider change their worst enemy, and considering that all forms of power eventually become incredibly corrupt, the question that comes back to haunt our civilisations, again and again, is: how on Earth does one change the system? ## [Risk Kills.

The timeless popularity of this naïve question is evident in the scores of book titles available that promise to literally change the world in 10 steps. ## [From The Edge of The Deep Green Sea of Stupidity](https://georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/from-the-edge-of-the-deep-green-sea) _2026-08-05 · George Tsakraklides · The George Tsakraklides View_ When back in July the Washington Monument’s Reflective Pool turned green right before national Independence Day celebrations, the phenomenon attracted little media attention – and rightly so, in the context of the wars, heat domes, dictatorship shenanigans and genocides that have now become a regular occurrence in late-stage industrial civilisation (early-stage post-Anthropocene). ## [Working for the Necrocartel: The End of Human Work](https://georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/working-for-the-necrocartel-the-end) _2026-08-03 · George Tsakraklides · The George Tsakraklides View_ An efficient life isn’t necessarily a happy, or an easy life. ## [Unmasking 20th Century Capitalism: The Beginning of the End of Freedom](https://georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/unmasking-20th-century-capitalism) _2026-08-01 · George Tsakraklides · The George Tsakraklides View_ Capitalism is revered by its own victims because it is a master of deception, pretending to celebrate the individual through the very activities that ultimately undermine all individuality: consumption, occupation, recreation. Each of these activities comes with its own sales margin, ROI, profit forecast and, most importantly, terms of service. ## [How Necrocapitalism Turned Food into an Addiction](https://georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/how-necrocapitalism-turned-food-into) _2026-07-29 · George Tsakraklides · The George Tsakraklides View_ There is no better example of how human societies lost each time disruptive technologies surged, other than the evolution of our food industry. ## [Screen Share With Real Control (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/h1hU2C3KktMw) _2026-07-29 · **Sponsored**_ Collaborative screen sharing with simultaneous remote control — open source, like Screenhero. ## [The Technophyte](https://georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/the-technophyte) _2026-07-27 · George Tsakraklides · The George Tsakraklides View_ How Humans Became Dependent on an Artificial Ecosystem ## [All Civilisations Fall.
