About this Website

This website aims to identify and examine a condition that cannot be adequately described using conventional academic, political or religious language.
In 2025, Papuan researcher and writer Yamin Kogoya coined the term 'Psycho-Cosmocide' to describe the systematic disruption and replacement of the cognitive, cultural and cosmological foundations through which human beings understand and sustain their existence.

This platform is dedicated to exploring this framework and its proposed counter-orientation, Wonesis. It also traces the broader trajectory of human transformation: from a nature-based existence to civilisation, from civilisation to distortion, and from distortion to a state of profound dislocation.

This work is intended for readers willing to question foundational assumptions about knowledge, progress, belief and reality itself. It does not seek to reinforce existing perspectives. Instead, it invites critical engagement with ideas that may be uncomfortable or destabilising.

While the analysis is rooted in the historical and lived experiences of West Papua, its scope transcends any specific location or group. It addresses the broader global condition in which systems of meaning, identity, and survival undergo rapid transformation, often without the full awareness of those living within them.

At its core, this work poses a fundamental question: can human communities survive as distinct, rooted and self-aware entities? Although it focuses on indigenous, land-based and historically marginalised societies, it is relevant to anyone interested in understanding the relationship between knowledge, power and survival today.

This website develops and applies several conceptual frameworks as analytical tools. Psycho-Cosmocide functions as a diagnostic framework. The Eight Atlases of Existence serve as a remapping structure. Wonesis is proposed as a survival orientation. The Four Paradigms of Human Literatures reconsider how knowledge is produced and transmitted. The Six Stages of Human Evolution attempt to locate humanity within a broader trajectory of transformation.
