Le présent, le grand sacrifié du siècle ? | Michaël V. Dandrieux | TEDxParis


[Applause]
if you grew up in the same world
that I grew up in a world
in crisis what is totally
suspicious when you think about it because the
principle of the crisis is that it is a
Crest
it’s a moment we spend it and we do
something else and yet our time has
invented the permanent crisis
that is, we can now
settle in the crisis you
know the principle of wikipedia the
list of crises that I will give you
now on the crises that you have
document the modernist crisis this is the
crisis of the entrance of the church in
our time the modernity the crisis
existential I think that means
it’s hard to live the crisis
anguished that it’s so hard to
to live that we are afraid of the crisis
teen is hard to be too
young the midlife crisis it’s
hard to be too old
the panic crisis is that it’s hard
to be too young or too old
we panic the crisis of the
masculinity it’s really hard to be
a man
the political crisis it’s hard to be a
man with power the crisis
economic it’s hard to be a man
with power and money
the housing crisis we do not know where
live it the food crisis if we
knew where to live would not be what
eat
the health crisis even though we
knew what to eat maybe he
should not eat it
the birth crisis to do more
of children the extinction crisis for
to have fewer children
the energy crisis we can
probably not heat them up the crisis
ecological it will fall on us
climate crisis it will come from below
and the systemic crisis is the crisis
of all of these crises
connected to each other
so there is good news the good
new is that these crises are in
reality is about 120 years old
collective work
that means we have
collectively worked very hard at
show us that the world in which
we live is stirring and
why then we could have
from these past crises to
something else we continue to produce
well maybe just because
that these crises come to materialize the
does that the world in which we
live is changing and that’s
a necessity because of what
let’s testify when we put in
gold foot of the house devastation of
nature destruction of the landscape
increasing inequality the world
which we have inherited contravenes
all the great values ​​of
humanity wants the beautiful the true and
for all that it’s not exactly what
put in the place of the blow one seeks and
we all try everything and anything
and we are projected into this vertigo
of progress which is our time not
so that everything that closely resembles
or by far to a talk about the future
exerts upon us a form of magic then
not all not exactly everything if we do
exercise
let’s look at how men of years
50 years handle the problem what for
we feel unimaginable as
technological revolution to men of
50’s had actually been
totally imagine we had planned the
cellphone
we had planned telework on
had planned and operations
surgical distance by cons
did not foresee women in the
offices so why is that it’s
so easy to imagine that the world that
surrounds us the technological landscape
the tools in town will change but these
the social cultural changes
which are of the order of the respondent is
can not see them coming well
maybe because these transformations
a1
in the future that we imagine we
also we will have changed that our
energy will not be the same as our
envy will not be the same as our
concerns will not be the same
that ‘s called a bias of
projections all his life a man
looking for the city of his dreams when
he finds her he’ll sit on the bench
with old people it’s comfortable to
talk about the future
when we are in the present perhaps
because it’s simply
difficult to live the present and for
this reason the great sacrificed both
centuries that preceded us it’s
the present I give you an example the
The crisis of 2008 stems from the fact that
small part of the economic actors
have postponed a huge part of the
population a loss
amazing in imagining that she
could be absorbed later you
may have come by car
factories continues to turn we have
always know that it pollutes and we
will solve this problem there later on
great sacrifice is the present
however if you pay attention to
what does the era tell you in which
you live you see back those
present in different ways
all these yoga stories the
meditations mindfulness to be
everything that we do and then by a
ecological consciousness too what is this
it’s just a season
vegetable grower of all these
ways the present comes back and
it’s not necessarily new
bad news because there nothing
is more unifying than this kit
timeless and impersonal
the present comes back and here it’s a
opportunity that we give ourselves to think
to things that have no date of
expiry next to all
things that will happen to us
the big constants of things that do not
will not change that they’re here since
a long night of century to us
to accompany
I give you an example the question of
journey there is a constancy in humans
from tearing to his ground wanting
to get up and dream
of elevation the conquest of the air
the cost of flying cars too
always flying cars a moment
given in the future the trip I can
give you a second example take
the like a metaphor the image of the
dragon you see this creature
jealous who is biting his tail for
protect within it a treasure
precious inside which it is necessary
go political metaphor for example
capitalism that must be exceeded
economic metaphor metaphor
political as totalitarianism the
totalitarianisms that must be overcome but
also a metaphor for your lives
personal this dragon it’s also
all the tests that you
accompany it is necessary to succeed to overcome
and then maybe one last picture
the most important of all without doubt
the image of the house grew magin
permanent home talk about the
home to anyone you touch
everybody
the house inside which he
good to live when the rain comes
tap on the window pane the
house lit in the night so the
brick house of course of our
childhood with his attics his basement
which comes verticalizing the excursions of
the youth and then the other house
even deeper the dreamlike house
in which we will arrive
think about it no no are different
but we all dream all the time
so everyone with his style you see
according to your nights but we all dream
all the time in unison
so here we need to imagine the
future make excursions in which
will happen to us because it allows us
to believe that we are special that
something new is finally going
happen in this world but we have
also more needed today than ever
to think about what will not change in
the future at these big enough images
anthropological constant every time
that I imagine something that
will happen to me in the future actually I
does not separate people who are around
me all the woes of the world come
of those opportunities that we give ourselves
to find something that will make us
unique but every time I find
inside my life and in the
basically that’s what we do in the
humanities something that is not
to me a personal and a
timeless I give myself the opportunity to
reconnect with the community of my
similar to what will happen to you in
the future
honesty no one can do anything
tell you but one thing is certain
it’s that these big invariants that are
already waiting for you in peace thank you
