The Necrotic Myths of Extraction

A meta-narrative built on separation, viewing the universe as dead matter and life as a resource. Its systems of economics, governance, and technology profit from managing scarcity, suffering, and collapse, creating a world that consumes its own future.

Metaphysical Ground

Materialist Reductionism

The Dead Universe: The foundational belief that consciousness is an accidental byproduct of matter, rendering the universe fundamentally meaningless and mechanical.

Foundational Logic

Metastatic Logic: The core operating principles of the system are inherently cancerous, promoting growth that destroys its host (society and ecology).

American Dreams

The Seductive Myth: Creating consumerist utopia as ideological cover for extraction.

Necrocapitalism

The Death Economy: System that profits from managing and producing suffering/death.

Structural Violence

The Daemonic Nature: Violence is not an aberration but the primary operating system - the invisible energy source powering extraction, domination, and control.

Systemic Expressions

Systemic Autoimmune Disease: The system's expressions attack its own social fabric, mistaking health (community, autonomy) for threats and suppressing them.

Besieged Ethos

The Pathological Core: Social Darwinism rewarding antisocial personality traits.

Domestication

The Taming Process: Reducing vibrant life to controllable, exploitable units.

Antidiologic

The Anti-Solidarity Framework: Actively preventing collective consciousness.

Complexity

Engineered Collapse: Creating systems too complex and fragile to withstand shocks.

Operational Mechanisms

Circulatory Collapse: The operational mechanisms act like a failing circulatory system, where lifeblood (resources, information) is diverted to parasitic ends, starving vital organs.

Finance Strategy

The Financial Weapon: Using money as tool for social control and extraction.

Steering Activity

Direct Enforcement: Activities that actively reinforce hierarchical power.

Technocognition

The Digital Layer: Using technology to shape thought and behavior at scale.

Measured Outcomes

Necrotic Measurement: The outcomes measured are signs of systemic death - compliance, consumption, and control - mistaken for health indicators.

Instruments (Necrocene)

The Control Tools: Seemingly neutral systems that enforce power imbalances.

Measurements (Necrocene)

The Validation Metrics: Quantifying the system's "success" on its own terms.

Psychic Schema (Necrocene)

The Inner Landscape: Psychological and spiritual effects of the system.

Extractive Temporality

The Tyranny of the Clock: Time is linear, finite, and hostile - a resource to be exploited for immediate gain.
