Wetiko pandemic continues to wreak havoc, kills many
Wetiko is an Algonquin word for a cannibalistic spirit – or in modern parlance we could say “contagious mental illness” – that is characterized by greed, excess, and selfish consumption. It deludes its host into believing that cannibalizing (in the broad sense) of other beings in order to amass advantage for oneself is a logical, healthy and even morally upstanding way to live. It inhibits the individual’s ability to see itself as an enmeshed and interdependent part of a balanced environment and raises the self-serving ego to supremacy. This allows, indeed commands, the infected entity to consume anything and everything it can, far beyond what it needs, in a blind, murderous daze of self-aggrandizement.

“…we evaluate the probability of avoiding the self-destruction of our civilisation. Based on the current resource consumption rates and best estimate of technological rate growth our study shows that we have very low probability, less than 10% in most optimistic estimate, to survive without facing a catastrophic collapse.” (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-63657-6)
