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 crisis of the quarantine is

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

look 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

[Applause]
