Oneiric journey - in search of trust [stream and recording not available]
10:00 - 10:45, 23rd of May (Thursday) 2024/ INSPIRE STAGE
The zeitgeist is changing. We live in turbulent times now, at the tail end of order as we knew it. Perhaps, this time it will be the most important twenty years of our modern times. It may shape a new era, and even the world of the classic growth economy and prosperity may be wiped out from the European continent forever. We look with concern at the geopolitical situation with so many wars in the world, enormous economic instability, decreasing natural resources, changing Earth's climate, and the increasing importance of national neo-populists, dictators, and autocrats. In 2024, over 40% of the world's population will be eligible to vote in elections. The scale is unprecedented, especially as the chance of Donald Trump's second term is increasing. There is too much polarization, so for the next two decades we will face an oneiric journey (visual hallucinations occur while fully awake). Who should we trust? Everything becomes an absurd! Following Cedric Price's statement that TECHNOLOGY IS THE ANSWER! really? Unfortunately, technology will not be our savior... because when the old answers no longer give us enough satisfaction, it means that it is time to ask ourselves new questions, rather than managing projects to implement another technological trendy solution in the company.
