Introduction The Fermi Paradox presents a fundamental contradiction between theoretical expectations and empirical evidence: given the vast number of potentially habitable planets and the apparent ease with which life emerged on Earth, why do we find no evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence? The Rare Earth hypothesis offers one solution by proposing that complex life requires extraordinarily specific conditions, but recent advances in origin-of-life research, systems chemistry, and cross-disciplinary astrobiology suggest this explanation remains incomplete (Fermi paradox, 2025; Alternative Pathways in Astrobiology, 2024). This paper proposes a “contingent uniqueness” framework that extends the Rare Earth hypothesis by integrating biochemical contingency theory, non-biomolecular […]
Father-In-Law, I’mma read you for filth.
13m spoken audio; partner finally has had enough with the bullying of his father. I support my partner in making choices that protect his mind and body. This the letter *I* sent once the fifteen year process of partner’s decision making has come to its fruition.
Oh come at me for it, because #TeamHoneyBadger DGAF and will happily teach you the lesson as many times as you need it.
Toxic Stress, Trauma Response, Reality Checks
25m, spoken audio on the matter of how a recent event demonstrates the living reality of this living being. #Violence, #Toxic Stress, #TraumaResponse, and the fact of long-lasting aftereffects, et al.
Understanding Cycles of Systemic Violence, Supremacist Ideology, and Ecological Crisis:
This paper explores the interconnected, recurrent global patterns of systemic violence against marginalized outgroups. Rooted in historical legacies of eugenics, white supremacy, and transgenerational trauma, these cycles are amplified by economic inequality, misinformation ecosystems, legal and institutional frameworks, psychological identity dynamics, and ecological crises. Recognizing these patterns is essential for approaches that promote justice, sustainable coexistence, and planetary survival.

The Bio-Social Loop: How Culture & Economy Engrave Hate in Our DNA
The accelerating crisis of fascism, racism, and “dehumanizing” behaviors is more than a product of conscious prejudice or institutional design—it is an emergent, biologically mediated epidemic produced by the interplay of cultural, economic, and societal structures with the human genome and neurobiology (Stringhini et al., 2022; Krieger et al., 2022; Kuzawa & Sweet, 2021). New research in neuroscience and social epigenetics demonstrates that these structural forces shape us at the molecular level, perpetuating patterns of aggression, exclusion, and social unraveling that threaten collective stability (Kuzawa & Sweet, 2021; Krieger et al., 2022).
