Ethanol, Vitamins, and the Myth of Solutions: The Anatomy of Industrial Harm

Every age believes it is discovering something new, yet most of what unfolds are patterns repeating themselves in fresh costumes. Industry, politics, and technology don’t just respond to needs — they create them, manufacture belief, and entrench dependence.

Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
