GRAND NARRATIVE: COVID-STYLE
The Corona Narrative - TCN - which consists of all current COVID19 stories (daily infection/death-reports/breakout cases/ stories of young people dying etc.), imperatives ("wear masks" "social distance" “don´t leave the house”), catchwords ("The Jab", "The Booster"), insults ("Conspiracy-theorist", “Conspiracy-denier”) and 'convenient scientific data' (in opposition to scientific data that does not fit to the TCN and is therefore inconvenient, like the uncertainty if Lockdowns actually help) exemplifies the first true unifiying GRAND NARRATIVE after the fall of the modernistic Grande Narrativs. What 'it' wants is total uniformation of opinion and worldview, but not under a modernist, democratic, scientific, capitalist paradigm, but under the direction of the medical-media-political complex.

THE STRUCTURAL MEMETICS OF MASKS
The short version of how we know that masks don’t work is we have case/hospitalizations/deaths time-dependent plots from almost every country on the globe. If you look at when in time the various mask mandates have been implemented, you’ll see that none made any difference all in any of the measurable quantities. NONE.

DER MARKT-MYTHOS
Der Markt kann als ein sich selbst organisierendes System verstanden werden, das sich ständig weiterentwickelt. Wie alle sozialen Institutionen wird er von Prinzipien und Regeln beherrscht, die von der Gesellschaft geschaffen wurden, nicht von irgendwelchen universellen Naturgesetzen. Wenn er nicht so funktioniert, wie wir es wollen, haben wir die Macht und die Freiheit, seine Regeln zu ändern. Die vorherrschenden Vorstellungen über den Markt sind jedoch von einem Mythos umhüllt. Viele haben argumentiert, dass es eine riesige Lücke zwischen den ökonomischen Modellen, wie der Markt angeblich funktioniert, und seiner tatsächlichen Funktionsweise gibt, aber es gibt auch eine Lücke zwischen der Art und Weise, wie er jetzt funktioniert, und alternativen Möglichkeiten, wie er strukturiert werden könnte, um das soziale Wohlergehen und die gerechte Verteilung effektiver zu fördern.
CONSCIOUSNESS
BECOMING THE PLANETARY (PART 1)
The Integrales Forum hosts an important conversation exploring the emergence of planetary-cosmocentric consciousness with Jeremy Lent, Andreas Weber, Susane Cook-Greuter, Daniel Christian Wahl and Jeremy Johnson. The recent confluence of regenerative scholarship authored by many of our panelists has brought the more-than-human world into greater focus. What can developmental and stage-centric approaches learn in dialogue with this planetary and regenerative turn? The turn towards the planetary decenters the human within a participatory and animistic cosmos that is both scientific and spiritual. Are stage-centric models, which emphasize the ascent of human-centric consciousness, challenged in light of this emerging “ecopocene?”
CULTURE WAR
IT'S A MAD INFORMATION WAR BY ZAK STEIN
No matter where you live, if you are on the Internet you are in a war zone. You may not feel the terror of bombs dropping around you, nor the horrors of physical violence, but there is war nonetheless. For as long as humans have fought, military tactics have always involved propaganda, information manipulation, and deception. Today, digital communication technologies have changed the landscape of what the U.S. military calls “irregular warfare.”
About Parallax
Parallax is a European online media platform offering constructive and fresh perspectives for the post-post modern age. We publish essays and podcasts, webinars and lectures, and are a hub for original and heterodox thinking.
The word ‘parallax’ stems from the old greek παράλλαξις parállaxis, which means to shift the viewpoint of the observer. The name suggests psychoactive and alternative sense-making, as opposed to mainstream narratives and ideologies.
Through our work with various European ‘digital tribes’, we create media and Bildung (education), and promote social, cognitive and spiritual development. Moreover, we aim to provide a European counterpoint to the dominant anglo-saxon narratives.
