Dominator Culture

Dominator culture is a term coined by Terence McKenna that describes the powers in our world who are unconcerned about the social consequences of their actions. This segment of society has also been called 'The Establishment', or 'The Man'. This powerful entity has consistently avoided solutions to societal issues that would nurture us as a community or even a family, preferring instead to transform people from being citizens, or brothers and sisters, into being consumers.

Humanity will have to harmonize itself with the Gaian Mind if it wants to survive.
