The George Tsakraklides View
I am a scientist, researcher and author exploring the broader context behind our civilisational polycrisis by daring to make connections between biology and anthropology, ecology and economics, and ethics and physics. Some of my best-known books include The Unhappiness Machine, In The Grip of Necrocapitalism, Beyond The Petri Dish and the latest, Frankenpolitics.
The lethal cocktail of false narratives at the core of our polycrisis is only visible to the rare few: usually society’s critics, pragmatists, and victims. If you are one of the above, you have come to the right place. Welcome to The George Tsakraklides View.

More About Me:
I’m a triple-qualified chemist, biologist and food scientist who crossed into the evil world of marketing and advertising for a couple of decades. I worked for some of the world’s biggest multinational corporations where I became an expert in social research, data analytics, consumer marketing, brand strategy and the evil world of advertising optimisation. After gaining a deep understanding of some of the world’s most exploitative forces and suffering the impact of working in this toxic industry myself, I realized that my interest had always been in ecology and humanity's broken relationship with nature. I have removed myself from this world in order to both recover and focus on my mission to expose the tragic failures that repeat like clockwork throughout history.
Over the years I have appeared on Radio Ecoshock, Post Growth Australia, Extinctionati, Collapse Chronicles, Regeneration Journal, Post-Doom Conversations, ViceVersa, Activism Is Medicine, Radically Human, Black Bear News, Environmental Coffeehouse, Poetry of Predicament, Naked Capitalism, No Escape and other outlets exploring the environmental and civilisational polycrisis.
I divide my time between the UK, US and Greece where I tend to a conservation garden created around a 2.500 year-old Ancient Greek fortification. You can monitor the garden’s progress on Instagram: the_unlikely_garden
