La mesura és la persona | Mikel Alvira | TEDxAndorraLaVella


and

I had seriously thought about starting this

intervention on all fours but I

it seemed too disruptive just like us

we’re looking up and it ended like that

I know

for now I prefer the bipedal position

you’ve heard the word crisis in the

last ten years

We are in crisis crisis

political crisis economic crisis

the institutions a society in crisis

even if we move away a little

we can talk about the crisis of the

western culture the crisis of values

the scaffolding we drop stop goes to the

gag

I’m going to leave more of the

western culture as if we were

on the Google map that we can approach

and move away I’m going to go up

going up you go away moving away and

he spoke about the crisis of the human species

and now many of you are thinking well

clear doomsday depends on our understanding

for the word crisis because if

we understand the word crisis as a

non-negative word of those words

negative we have to banish and the

we understand how a positive word we

we put the japan mode is another option

I was seeing dress have come dressed

sumo wrestler

I have not seen either we get

in Japanese plan and we say crisis

crisis opportunity changed the species

Human is in crisis

I understand that, understanding that

word crisis is not bad

We are in crisis because we are the only

species of the entire planet capable of

modify the planet in the magnitude of

what we are capable of there is no other species

on the planet able to do it and in addition

It is the first time that we are capable of

do it in these last 50 100 years

we are able to modify the planet

Earth to move around the planet

land with the speed with which what

we do not there is another species capable of

do it and besides saft it’s the first time

that we are able to do it from

communicate instantly in everything

the planet earth right now by

streaming are not being seen in a

lots of more sites I like that we

are watching now is talking about the

Talara is talking about which is not

they are watching in real time

there is no other species capable of doing this

and it is also the first time that as

species we are able to do it is more

we are the only species on the planet

able to destroy the planet well

slowly we will continue to heat what

little by little or the cataclysm mode and

Red button

whatever either of the two

options there is no other species except the

human capable of doing it

we are the only species capable of generating

diseases of controlling them to cure them

and even having a strain of such

Inca guard virus just in case

there is another species capable of doing it

we are even the only species and never

until now we had been able to

do what

the only species to reproduce outside

what is the natural route if

this puts us in crisis crisis as a

moment of absolute paradigm change

if all this that I have told you and many

other things that we could quote do not

put in a moment say never as in

this moment we have the opportunity to

take a step forward so we do not

we put the cataclysm mode the blacks

clouds of the end of time no

you know , we do not get

we put in that plan is to put ourselves in this

plan on the plan blank page

the plan we are in crisis we are in a

possibility of change and we are going to

overcome and we will move forward because

because we are human beings and beings

humans whenever we’ve seen each other in

a moment of change we have

engineered to continue to exit

ahead

we were quadruped the primates does

a lot of millions of years were

quadrupeds and we decided to adopt

the bipedal position no doubt that was

our first big step the first

moment of our crisis was when

We lived in the savanna

we started to have glimpses of what

could humanity be the first

hominids

we begin to have glimpses of who we are

animals but we are taking a little step

go ahead and we decided to become bipedal

get on two feet as you go to

do now you and some plans to

tremble and you say like another one that is going to

make us move

I’m not going to make you stand up but you

I will explain the following when we go

on all fours in the savannah

we realized that we were vulnerable

because we did not see beyond the metro

of the half meter of the scarce meter of

grass of the savannah and we had to

stand up to rise above the

grass and see our predators or

the possibilities of getting food

this is a revolution that was a

authentic moment of crisis took us

about 600,000 years go from four

legs at 2 hours times we run a lot

that allowed us to cool the body

in another way and with time we

would allow the thumb to be

prehensile we could grasp with the thumb

with which we will be able to upload

better to the trees we will be able to

learn to learn to pick up objects

even start using tools

in a very slow process of millions of

years

let’s do the following the next

movement without standing up and son

it’s been here all morning, you know

that you have here on one side and the other

I would like descollar is a bit os

you raise a little when you say 3 and

just hotéis this sheet that

this wonderful theater and try

discovered something that until now

you have seen wrong then the three

you are just going to receive

a bit and going to control baixa

see what there is over there of a two three

you guys look and then suddenly

discover sound technicians people who

you did not know I was here

well this is a bit metaphor

the metaphor of that moment in which

we became bipedal in which we

we get up from the sheets we leave

our little comfort zone that was

live down there and we rise up being

human being human why did he do that

Well look, he did it for the same reason

that we take a bike we go six

months to travel the world

therefore so we sailed the

seas we held a mountain and then

we work and we go up another and then

we go back down has never happened and

by the mountain on a route not of no

too closed and say up the curve

and six down the road and yaiza the curve and

fish

until that other curve jover to have that

it looks good that yes born to the human being

in all its moments of crisis all

his moments of change he has made use of

something that has allowed him to jump give the

step out of your comfort zone

reinvent yourself to end up growing as

human species to survive

in short and you know what that has been

you know that’s what I deciphered it

makes the human being capable of

to jump from conquer of

learn then something that has nothing to do

with the reason but with that with the

heart the heart has reasons that

the reason does not understand sometimes we understand

reason and heart as antagonistic

I think they are complementary we are going to

call it emotion

I do not know if it ‘s in the chest is in

the heart is in the stomach I do not

I know where it is probably in the

brain also although sometimes we

my chest hurts not when we feel a

very strong emotion or we explode

chest when we have great joy

whatever it is, it is the human being

has this ability to get excited and

move in the double sense of

communication

we are the only species capable of

thrill and excite us we are the only

species capable of analyzing our

own emotions emotions that

some authors talk about the five

56 basic emotions joy the

Hate fear the tedium velasco

some elongate it more talk about 52

emotions the last lists talk about

126 emotions is to say a huge fan

difference of panic terror good

there we are not nuances that wonderful

the human being is always capable of

nuance and take another step to

qualify what has been qualified

good whatever it is is the human being

individuals of a kind of call to

the human species that is capable of

thrill and excite us to get excited

you are thrilling to show him that

he is excited

you ‘re going to show me that we ‘re not

Thrilling it I’m going to ask you

next with the person you have at

side but it has to be a person who

has installed or very close and we

let’s go we’ll look and we’ll

put the face of one of those 126

emotions

good of the five basic ones you are going to put

when I say three slight to put the face

face of joy or sadness will

you are going to put a scary face

either rejection can be a little

strong but but to play we can

do it then when you say when

say three we are going to get excited with the

person that we have next is worth a two

three and we were not excited about us

others overcome super shyness

super good this ability

this ability to communicate

this ability to communicate this

ability to get excited and excited is

inherent to the human being is innate to the being

human and that’s what made us leave

always ahead of all crises

look at me every other time every year and

half every two years when he pulled out a

novel tell me and what is your

novel

well one submits to that string of de

more or less standardized questions

that are made to a writer and one of

they are these people say treat your

new good novel and I tell the

story, well, nothing, this is the

story of an airplane pilot who believes

a lot in people and in the end it

getting all the passage ends

Giving kisses trip

That ‘s the story, but in the background

for me and always what interests me is

what is below the story

for me the stories I tell are the

excuse to talk about emotions for

talk about characters that get excited and

they are able to thrill because that is

what most connects with what is my

life with what life is like for anyone

of us who relate to

people from whom we feel

emotion and with which we

we get excited for that when they tell me your

characters are very real I say no

real are not characters are fiction

he has invented them but they are true

because what makes us authentic what

that makes the characters authentic and

makes us authentic to us is that

let’s be truthful that we are honest with

our own emotions

if we live with the mask if we live

with the armor

if we are not able to take away the

armor not even when giving a hug

we will hardly be honest with what

we think and much less with what

we feel with this ungraspable part of

us who do not know how to locate and who are

the emotions

if we live the emotions believing in what

that we live

if we are honest with what we are

feeling with the emotions that we have

as a human species

we will be saved if not, then we are the

only species able to tell us

gag

but I think I believe in people

my characters like all those who

we are here that we are people we are

able to move us and to tend

bridges

that’s why for me the measure of everything is the

person

the data are important the figures

important stenson leaves are important

before since you discard rationalized

We’ve been trying for two centuries

measure everything I think the measure is the

person because he is the person who

has the ability the blessed ability

the infinite capacity to get excited with

other human beings and to thrill to

other human beings

that’s why my characters like all

we get excited and build bridges

You have heard me say many times that

I write to build bridges that is what

we’re going to do now you have

stayed with someone who had installed

and the willing a face of emotion

that is, we have been moved with

someone now we are going to bridge

with someone that we do not have right to

side if it’s even with someone who up

now we have not interacted better can

be the one in the back row sun two

rows further back we’re going to lay a

bridge watching us winking

smiling at us if we have the chance

we can give two kisses a hug the

business card the batch number of

the good life that and everyone will know

how far do you want to build the bridge

ok and above all especially hopefully

hopefully when we leave here today let’s say job

I liked it has moved me and also

of laying bridges with people who do not

I knew so far and look then I do not know

I have your twitter account or I have your

phone or just look we have

looked and there was magic

so I’m going to ask that

someone you do not know you have a

bridge has to be very fast but

I want you to have a bridge

those hugs these kids those smiles

we say hello, we shake hands

great

great

we will continue we will continue with the

bridges

then I’m going to stay with this one

I’m going to stay with this last image

this last image is the metaphor of

all I’m telling you yes or yes

if you realize the only thing that I am

counting the only thing I’m telling

is that we are individuals of a kind

wonderful that has lived many crisis

throughout its existence because in

another moment of crisis we end

inventing the language or even the

writing in a moment of crisis

We decided to be sedentary in a moment

of crisis we decided to cross the seas

are the mountains asking us questions and

try to answer the and now as

species that we are in a moment of

crisis

blessed and happy crisis we will be able

to keep going

right now we are on the edge instead of

put a cliff

I wanted to put good you’re this

stairway we are on the edge and

It will depend on us if we dare

to descend this stairway or

even to jump from here and what

we will do and we will do it with authenticity

if we are able to follow

thrilling us with life with the ccaa

with the amount of beautiful things that

there is life in life and there are many things

bad also of course and many

problems to see if you think I’m a

good ista who has no problems but

above them

I believe in the ability to get excited and

to excite others from

our loyalty and our honesty

and that we will only do if we continue

building bridges

thank you very much

me
