GLOBAL CORPORATE REGIME AND NEO-COLONIALISM ON PLANET EARTH

by John Mutukat (M J John) | Jan 21, 2016 | Articles

HOW COLONIAL LEGACIES CONTINUE TO RULE THE WHOLE MANKIND – AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE This is the story of how the erstwhile colonialist forces, in their new globalist evolution as the present global corporate forces, continue to rule the world. And they do it by the help of the long lingering colonial legacies, in the forms of their erstwhile colonizing tools, like, the faulty modern dualist science, dualist philosophies, dualist monopolistic mass media, organized religions, highly market-led politics, arts, sports etc. For almost 99% of today’s humans, who are descendants of both the beneficiaries and victims of colonists, settlers and displaced peoples, the question is of decolonizing ourselves, our hearts and minds, and the stories, narratives, and pathways that brought us to where we are today. This story is indeed a complicated, touchy, double-edged one. How do we understand our identity and narrative? How do we understand who we are and where we came from? How can and do we reclaim what has been lost or forgotten? And how does that understanding inform our strategies and tactics? During a visit to Pakistan, Prime Minister David Cameron stated that many of the modern world’s problems were the product of Imperial Britain’s legacy. These words do not merely apply to the conflict and strife that prevails from Syria and Egypt, to Israel and Palestine, but also to the destitution, the poverty, the illiteracy, the corruption, and the deep-rooted public sector inefficiencies and nepotism institutionalised by British rule, which today afflicts vast swathes of the developing world. Earlier, Mahatma Gandhi had warned: “God forbid that India should ever take to...

A Note from the Publisher: Why You Should Buy ‘Life On Meltdown’

by John Mutukat (M J John) | Oct 31, 2015 | Blog

How We Can Make Sense of the Enormous Scale of the Present Human Crisis Today most people are too busy dealing with the responsibilities and distractions of daily life. They do not have the time to contemplate on the existence of the world and the life forms. They just want simple answers to questions/problems that are presented to them in an interesting way. However, there are many confirmed findings that mankind is facing serious imminent existential threats. In addition to the threat of climate change, there is a rapidly accumulating list of equally daunting issues such as capacity limits in crucial resources like oil and water, deforestation, desertification, oceans emptying of fish, growing genetic poisoning and a massive extinction of species. As the convergence of these multiple threats becomes too much to handle, our global civilization is certain to face a total collapse. Here, in making sense of our civilization in catastrophic crisis, the new book, Life on Meltdown, by M. J. John (FaceBook ID: John Muthukat) is a concise and well-written critique of postmodernism. Having written and published his earlier book, Story of Man – Layman ( in 1990) he has great delight to introduce this new book which seems to be a better read on the present crisis. This book goes where far too few researchers have been willing to go, and it is addressing the basic causes behind the present global multiple crises, including the ongoing global warming that fast changes the climate to be too hot, too cold and too turbulent for all life forms, including us to survive. Here John has done the entire tough work of reading through...

LIFE DEPENDENT ON THE OPINION OF OTHERS IS A DEGENERATE LIFE

by John Mutukat (M J John) | Oct 16, 2015 | Uncategorized

In the present world, almost 99.9% humans, including our leaders, are living by depending on second-hand knowledge, unlike in the past when almost 99% humans were living by depending on the first-hand knowledge or their own brain or individual knowledge for almost 99% of the millions years of human existence. The second-hand knowledge is indeed the degenerated form of knowledge – today we call it information – which we get through the mechanization of certain arrested knowledge or opinion of others that are largely framed under the influence of some VESTED INTEREST. It is due to our total dependence on second-hand knowledge that today and every day almost 99% humans are in front of the screen for hours on end, be it before TV at home or the Smartphone screen while travelling. An average post-modern adult is found to spend about 4 to 6 hours per day looking at screens, generally in the case of the younger generation. With the ongoing information explosions, people are mentally burdened with only information overload and becoming more and more mentally passive, just as they are physically overloaded with ‘second-hand’ (degenerated) cells creating fast food and becoming more and more physically passive, as is evident by the globally spreading degeneration diseases. To comprehend the degeneration of the human life structure, on every sector – from the mental to the physical, and from the microscopic to the macroscopic – please see Chapters 4 and 10 of Life On Meltdown. Imagine that you, and a small group of other people, were to wake up tomorrow with absolutely no memories of your past...

EVOLUTION OF LIFE: FROM WHOLISM TO REDUCTIONISM

by John Mutukat (M J John) | Jun 25, 2015 | Articles

This is the story how modern mankind lost, rather tampered with, their long innate and organic characteristics only to suddenly end up with certain degenerate, mechanical characteristics in modern era, when they suddenly changed their mode of existence — from non-dualism to dualism. Man and nature existed in a united, holistic state for millions of years. Here we envision a world where we live in communion with the Earth, creating perfect harmony, health, and happiness. From the smallest nano-particle to the largest galactic formation, a web of electrical circuitry connects and unifies all of Nature, organizing galaxies, energizing stars, giving birth to planets and, on our own world, controlling weather and animating biological organisms. There are no isolated islands in an electric universe. As an organic species of Nature, man is allowed to live on and be a part of Earth. Humans are like cells functioning within a body of the Earth. As long as humans (the cells) live in a healthy manner we will live peacefully in correlation with Earth. Mankind practiced this Nature’s wholesome way of life – united state of existence – for millions of years, till as recently as up to the start of modern civilization, when suddenly everything sharply changed, thanks to shortcut methodologies like the analytical science of reductionism and middlemanism taking over the central role of the socialization process, basicaly since the 16th century. Here the purpose of knowledge is violated when modern science, in a mindless effort of transforming Nature without a thought for the consequences, destroys the innate integrity of Nature and thereby robs it of its regenerative...
