so sir attali we had first
a small microphone if you agree
need to know if it works
not work it does not work
that’s fine here is your
last book is titled after
tomorrow the most recent I hope that
it is the most recent
I hope it’s not the last one
not the last it will not be the last
I’m sure before talking after
tomorrow
can we talk about yesterday my first
question is this then I’m
relay of the Net surfers to you has
asked a series of questions ago
Internet
how does our past influence
our future an influence all
simply because we are what
our history of the built us
are we even
biological our reasons for our
evolution we are what we
are culturally because our
languages have evolved we are what
we are because of the culture that
we have accumulated the languages that
are transformed because of
the legacy we have accumulated and
also because of the disasters that
we created that makes that
humanity today and in a
more and more fragile universe of more
in addition threatened because of
what we inherited ideally
you would think that the best we
think the worst I think the best
we think the worst I think we
have created more positive things
that we do not have negative things in
anyway the positive things we
hope to have the means
to compensate for negative things
humanity has many more ways of
do good today that she
had there is even a century
and then maybe especially the most
important of what we have inherited
from the past it’s our ability a little
illusory but real fired
lessons from what happened to us at
use our mistakes our failures us
shipwreck faille edited as means
to take not to do them again
and so the worst thing we
may it be amnesic
that is, not wanting to see the
past and repeat the same mistakes
since we are doing
thousand golden opportunities makes debts
excessive
when we destroy nature when we
accumulates weapons of violence when one
go back to populism when we go back
to tolerance when we return to
wars of religion all that we already have
known and we know very well that she is going
in Paris that can lead us so the
lessons of history on fundamental
even if men find in
general who live them better
amnesic that with memory then the
second question we would like
to ask you is today we have
the impression that everything is wrong then
is it a reality is our world going
so badly and even often to write a
history humanity saying that it’s
as follows from that of time but
with the means to do more good and
then I ask for more good things
but more and more goods more and
more harm that’s the story of
humanity and we may be in this
moment one moment we are high enough in
the post it do good is in the process of
switch to evil why enough
open the possibility of doing good
because
if we look at the facts there is a number
extraordinary positive facts then
talking to him about life expectancy
which has never been so high
that today the very far he is going
particular the life expectancy of the most
poor who grew massively and
this number of lives in france continue to
increase very quickly
then because the proportion young
and well the proportion of 90 people
very poor has never been so
low then there is still a billion of
people who are who finally have all the
evenings but it’s lower than those less
of ten portions of the planet
today that – dispensing people
very poor and less of my guys who
that’s more than 10% who are in a situation of
famine
we are in a situation where
poverty is decreasing
much diminished
surprisingly until two years ago in
anyway the violence had never
been as low as now in
human history
we have fairly old statistics of
more or less historical statistics
but which show that the plane was
dramatically decrease violence
as a percentage of population per year per
absolute number that there is a lot a lot
of indicators that show that it’s going
a lot better it goes a lot better by
the past but anyway and that’s
one of the reasons
explain pessimism specifically
French one could say that because
of a very large number of things that
go wrong and that seems to go more and
worse as especially
the environment the climate the
inequalities and the concentration of
wealth
unemployment in Spain has a lot of
things we can talk about all about
the time there is the feeling that it
was fine and that it can not go
worse and inflation is because
that’s fine where relatively
very well that it can be palate
very bad so
pessimism is linked to a finding
finding out that things do not
are not so bad even though they a lot
inequalities
so it’s much better in the past
with an extraordinary aggravation of
injustices and inequalities and
a lot of clouds on the horizon
very good
so now magma question this is
very simple and she joins that of
Internet users is what can and should we
to do for oneself and for others
first we have to see that there is in the
15 years old who come in very many
things that are going well tuned and that’s it
must put what you can do for yourself
and for others according to these
things and a lot of things that
will happen that are both
things we can look at as
spectators but in which one you
must this is your question act what is it
who will be arriving in 15 years from now
there are certainly 15 years there will be
a billion more people on the
planet in 600 million in africa 1
billion including 600 million from Africa
is there will be at least 50 million
people who will have changed
continent
there will be a life expectancy that will
three and a half years higher on the
planet
yoran middle age of the planet that will be
four years higher than today
there will be a number of progress
incredible techniques that are going to
generalize a 3d printer
artificial intelligence or and
semantics the biotechnologies the
nanotechnologies neuroscience is
first went to the robot a lot of things
a corner that are seemingly science
fiction but who after tomorrow if not
tomorrow are banalities of our streets
of our daily lives that will have
very concrete consequences
exciting for the increase of
life expectancy the end of the
change agriculture very much
positive responding to
huge challenges for example we know
that because of the evolution
demographic and other reasons for
pollution
the amount of water available by
inhabitant of the planet will decrease from
half by wearing the aqua with water
available on the planet will limit from
half in 15 years all that makes it
cold in the back but progress
techniques should enable them to
pass by the same there is another factor
very important is that today on
the planet there are 1 billion 600
inhabitants of inhabitants who are in the
middle class ie they have
just about a decent standard of living
relatively their standard of living
the environment in 15 years committed
narcissus is going to be three billion bag
huge change the number of people from
clash but especially in china and india
because in fifteen years China will have
fewer inhabitants
the main change to bring
tremendous progress alumni ali first
technique leaving a middle class
strong we have a sense of a capacity
organization of a growth of
humanity especially to return
but at the same time the consequences
negative are huge
for example sap the fact that at least I
say well at least half of
existing trades today will have
disappeared in 15 years at least half
existing trades today are going
they not their talent without speaking about
trades taught at school
dance to 80% of trades are taught
at today’s school because have
gone because they are in the process of
learn will be old enough to exercise them
which means that there are mutations
great so what is it
make
obviously we have to make several
things first need to be aware
that there are fantastic potentialities
do not be pessimistic resigned what
I call resigned claiming
that is to say resigned a Papuan has
changed the world to take oneself
charge to become aware of a certain
two fundamental things that do not
depend only on oneself and that brings us
to act what I call become evening
ie firstly and you in
speak with frederic saldmann all to
time to become aware of
the importance of one’s own life in
aware of the fact that one is mortal that
our life is short and we owe it
live in the most intense way
possible and as intense as possible
means the fullest the most
respectful of self the most respectful
others the most intense by giving themselves
some basic principles first
we have no reason to exercise them
occupation that can be exercised by a
other means to do something
creative because it’s useless
brief passage that we have on this
planet to do something
someone can do us as much
yet do nothing at all
secondly, do not settle for one
only life why a tack have
as we are not sure of being a
notebook tried to have several
not be limited found deeply what
why indeed they from a
fundamental principle when we want
can
when we want we can and when we believe
what we can not do is we do not have
really wanted
