Necro-Economics

Necro-economics

I had never heard of the word necro-economics until today.

It is a critical theoretical framework that places death, negation, and the systematic “letting die” of disposable or marginalised populations at the core of modern capitalist and political economies. (The cruelty of banality: Necro-economics and global letting die – Joshua Ayer.)

Even reading the description makes me feel sick. Disposable people. An elevated set from disposable animals. The path is similar. What we make acceptable- the Little Atrocity of the mass slaughter of animals- paves the path of acceptance to the mass slaughter of humans.

Apparently, necro-economics does not make it implicit that the primary goal of capitalism is physical slaughter, but that capitalism requires the disposability of certain groups.

Or, as so many scholars have written, you cannot untangle capitalism from colonisation. They are complementary pairs.

The wealth of nations is built on necro-economics.

This is the history we must confront, as we watch the policy of necro-economics play out, live-streamed, now.

Not just in Palestine, but in every state where people are starved, bombed, and enslaved to economies that cannot ensure survival.

October 27th 2026 The precession of persecution The precession of persecution Precession is the affect of bodies in motion on other bodies in motion, producing a side effect (precession) at 90 degrees to the motion. Drop a stone into a pond of water, and the ripples occur at ninety degrees. Intractable persecution of one group of people has a precessional effect. Including an entrenched story of victimhood. For example, intractable persecution of women, and women can carry the energy of...

October 26th 2026 The Intelligence the Machines Cannot Hold The Intelligence the Machines Cannot Hold I marvel at the scientific rationalists, those who spend their days focused on the measured. What can be measured? Everything dissected. Zeros and Ones. Reductionist. It is from this thinking that a technological singularity becomes the new god. A hypothetical future turning point where rapid, exponential advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and technology lead to machines surpassing...

October 23rd 2026 The new colonialism The new colonialism When data is stripped mined from human art, expression, and creativity. Knowledge systems vacuumed from indigenous wisdom. And certain categories become universal, while others are erased. Because the story must remain that the superior man is the superior man in all things. Accounting refuses to acknowledge the contributions of the many, to edify the contributions of the few – the superior man. Whether it is the publicly funded...
