A little bit anyway
although you have all my sympathy.
This is the speech I pin, not the man, even if the man is often attached to his speech and may feel hurt. Sorry.
I responded with some violence, in reaction to the violence felt by reading this remark "Probably is it because cognitive dissonance is more widespread in Germany? Clearly, wanting to get rid of the consequences via a Papa-State intervention, without renouncing the causes ... "
I know that it starts from a good background, since I think that you want to set the record straight on the impact of such an event, to show the contradiction that persists and undoubtedly show your disappointment that it advances not at the right pace, nor at the right scale, towards a healthy and sustainable world,.
In the absolute and at the moment t, it is true that a gathering will not change the face of the world.
Except that, to bring back (unceasingly ..) to the cold and factual reality, you undermine the enthusiasm that could arise from such an event, in you and others who read you. (which I hope few!
but you warned with your signature, so it's okay
)
We can not predict the impact of such an event in the long term, on those who mobilized, on those who attended, on those who are on a tipping point.
An impetus that could last and amplify to go towards what you, us, would seem a real advance.
Somewhere you put a ball to the feet before the departure of an 100m.
Where is the enthusiasm of youth ???
I think you neglect the power of intention.
In fact what turns me off is the reason, when it undermines the aspiration to truly live better. This goes for a defeatist discourse, as for a cynical (often liberal) speech.
In 2 cases there is acceptance or resignation to the established order and the reason to find a lot of arguments justifying the established order. (We always find ...)
It lacks the spirit of revolt against the established order, it lacks the aspiration to change, to build a better world, or at least to encourage it.
Your reactions make me think of the teachers of my childhood, essentially to focus on what was wrong, rather than what was going on. It does not give confidence to continue afterwards.
As for the perfect world, I believe it possible. It would be a peaceful, healthy and sustainable economic system, providing everyone with their primary needs (cf Maslow), while respecting nature as much as possible (branch on which we sit)
Since this system is not based on competition for survival, society would already be less violent, say, would not cultivate it. Capitalism cultivates violence but we do not realize it so much, we bathe in it. The cynic will say "we have not found better"
In fact, we did not seek.
This "ideal" system would not bring happiness because it is an intimate question to everyone.
No system can control the inside of an individual (and it is not desirable) but the system in which we live, influences our mind and vice versa.
A more peaceful "economic framework" would no doubt allow everyone to be more in peace.
From today we can, we have the right
, to be in inner peace but one must be an exceptional person to achieve it, like Buddha.
whatever.
