Save The Bees Save Ourselves

The recent extreme loss of bee colonies in the USA has sparked inquiry into the effect of EMF and pesticides on bees. Bees symbolise success in achieving goals for the greater good. They symbolise communities operating in harmony for the greater good. There has been a recent explosion of the "Bro-trepreneur", the popularisation of "Anarcho-Capitalism", and the growing dependence on AI. We are now living in a culture that accepts AI as a substitute for creating and working hard on our goals. The idea of freedom without rulers has changed. It has become subjective. the winning freedom culture-du-jour is a sales and marketing culture. Financial success means "freedom for all", thanks to the "creator economy". The concept of freedom is changing. We have accepted the technocracy as a part of life and something we should exploit. We have started to sell out on our values simply because money is more important. Our values have become an accessory, a branded cog in the AI machine. Interacting with others is more about sales negotiations, than community and serving others for the greater good….. are the bees telling us, through die-off, that we are destroying ourselves? This series on bees unpacks this correspondence and looks at solutions.
