Life is a struggle if you can’t juggle! | Christoph Rummel | TEDxLausanne


[Music]
[Applause]
let’s try to look into the future for
five minutes with five balls and first
of all let’s hope that we do not end up
in this stiff body position staring on
screens but move move or think about how
we can bring the Wrights momentum in our
complex environment complexity
all these terms and much more are
passing around our heads when we think
about the future how will we work in the
future will we work more or less or will
we work more or less in virtual
realities if we can get support from
machines and robots can we use our free
resources to protect our natural
resources or will we just end up between
a flood of emails constant availability
in an illusion of productivity in the
world which turns faster and faster and
hopefully we can find better
perspectives can we find a perspective
which is more holistic which integrates
mind heart and soul can we connect mind
heart and soul in and creative or
intelligent way will we be able to
cooperate globally also in messy
situations can we pass the balls between
each other also across borders it’s easy
for me but um how do I can get out of
this straight now so where do we find
the answers to all of these questions
maybe in the circle or under the shower
or in the number of pee or is the answer
just for to maybe artificial
intelligence as the answer hmm by the
way I like the intelligence of my body
when I’m doing stuff like this
my eyes are keeping track of the balls
commuting communicating somehow through
my nerves with my hands and my brain and
vice versa all this is happening while I
can speak to you in a language which is
not my first language and I can try this
seems to be a cool job from my body
Thanks yeah but maybe transhumanism will
bring us some kind of superhuman skills
some kind of super reflexes in the
or maybe we will end up all rely
realizing that we have lost our natural
abilities our our natural reflexes who
knows maybe we end up always software in
our bodies and and suddenly suddenly a
software error takes over control there
are many questions many balls to handle
a friend of me once described juggling
with two words precise fragility
juggling is a precise but complex a
precise but fragile pattern when one
ball bumps into the other this might
lead to a chain reaction and the whole
system can collapse
so of course chuckling is a very old
discipline but it develops a lot and of
course the technological progress does not even stop at juggling
