Description

Let us talk about what you can do in these uncertain times to consider the options for your civic engagement and life! We will go through options how to define one's strategy based on the analysis of the context and dynamics of change. I will also point to shortcomings of dreams like universal basic income, which has been most successful in inhabiting the imaginative and intellectual sphere conceiving an alternative future in the past decade. We will meet on Jitsi so have the app downloaded before the event: https://jitsi.org/downloads/ Once you register for the event on EventBrite, you will receive an e-mail with the address of the event on Jitsi. I propose an analysis spotting current trends which, thanks to COVID-19, are bringing us sooner to the future that has already been unfolding. We need a road map towards an alternative option. Utopia is not in the far future. It is happening now in prefigurative practices, from which the book draws lessons for large scale change. In order to understand how we are sustaining the current system and how to transcend it, we need to look at the inner work and cultural shift to be undertaken. This event is inspired by my book Imagine a Sane Society but it will have an interactive character rather than be a lecture.
