‘Common sense’ is not the same as ‘good sense’.

‘Human behaviour’ can change. ‘Human nature’ does not exist.

‘Democracy’ says what’s popular (sport, gossip and X-Factor).   ‘Meritocracy’ supports what’s good.

George Orwell was a fucking dude.

Thanks, Bill! Thanks,   Ted!

I love bottled water! I drink it every day and enjoying the approving glances from sexy ladies who like my devil-may-care attitude. I don’t worry a damn about school-masterly Adriatic turtles, or the fact that it’s possibly the most naive and ludicrous product ever created, or that it’s contrived to deceive.

I think drinking bottled water makes me look awesome – and not at all like a gullible and selfish twat – because like any sensible person I just refill any old bottle from a tap, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT’S FUCKING THERE FOR.

No ads. No agenda. No strings attached. No Rupert Fucking Murdoch. Just knowledge all collated by one astonishingly simple idea: that together we are audaciously fucking good. That audacity makes Wikipedia the 5th most popular website in the world. And it’s not   commercial. Which makes it about as awesome as the NHS and the BBC as “supercool things which are a real testament to human civilisation.”

If you value Wikipedia as a source of information – and a source of inspiration – you should make a donation right now to help it keep up the good work.

Lord Adonis said the project would create 10,000 jobs and yield £2 in benefits for every £1 spent. Wow. That’s £3m per job.

The problem is not how long it takes, it’s that you have to sit on the fucking floor. Give someone a seat and a plug and it’ll be some of the most productive time they’ll have all week, and they’ll want it to take longer.

Let’s take stock: The way we’ve created money is systemically flawed; our energy system is no longer fit for purpose; we’re seriously fucking with our life support systems; and we’re working harder than ever at doing it.

Wow, that’s embarrassing.

But amidst all this stupid there’s some seriously good news. These are all systemic problems, which means that only the tiniest changes to the systems (eg government policy) make things immediately much better: More free time, cheaper energy, cleaner air, better food, more space, more fun, more spending power, more freedom.

So what’s holding us back? A handful of selfish people, a few handfuls of stupid people, and the rest of us who think we can’t do anything about it.

1. Pick something you care about, but you don’t think you can fix.
2. Write to your MP and ask them to fix it for you.

How fucking easy was that?! All that time you’ve been sitting there feeling powerless and depressed, and it’s as easy at that! WOO HOO!

Democracy, eh?! Fucking brilliant!

Rethink money. Rethink banking. Rethink finance. And then spread the fucking word. Okay? Are we clear? Because this money malarkey has gone beyond a joke, and you deserve better. Okay, good. You rock. Seriously. You’re on fucking fire with brilliance. I like you. Now get reading, because without you they’re just going to keep fucking it all up. Go go go! Loveyoubye!

Spread the word, because some people obviously haven’t worked this out yet and it would be kinda cool for them to enjoy the ride, too.

Imported soy = Bad Thing. Especially if you’re a cow, because you cows eat fucking cart loads of the stuff. Tastes bland to me, but whatever, because the main point is that you have to be some special kind of ecopathic-money-grabbing fuckwit to chop down lovely rainforest to make fucking tofu animal chow.

However since these fucking mindless arseholes exist, and I don’t know where they live so I can’t rip their stupid fucking heads from their forlorn and unloved bodies, let’s just not chop down vital rainforest to grow bland fucking cow chow.   Instead eat good, local, seasonal, food. All the cool kids do.
