This talk reframes the revelations of the Epstein class not as evidence of political corruption, but as a map of industrial capitalism's "waste logic", applied to both land and living organisms. Using fungi as its lens, it explores how decomposition—not purity—offers a model for transforming contamination. It then expands into the evolution of fungal metabolism, the imbalance of accumulation, the accelerationist trap, binary thinking (left vs. right), Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and the latest research on collective consciousness—inviting us to be unburdened not through denial, but through recognizing that trauma was never ours to carry alone.
