[Applause]

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
