1st Lecture from the Sacred Field
On the tension between idea and ideology, our concept of time, the end of time and, if not the Holy Spirit, what else could save the world.
The lecture is held by Tomaso Carnetto in a series of lectures that are all related to the attempt of designing the 21st century and the question of how to become an author in the triad of ethics, aesthetics and socio-political action in order to perform this attempt.
“I gave my students this assignment: to fill in the blank between "if not" and "what else" what they would choose from a long list of ideas or ideologies to save the world. The assignment was part of my Coincidental Aesthetics lecture.
The top ten rankings are as follows. In first place: If not a stable democracy, what else (could save the world), second: Charity, third: Multi-ethnic society, fourth: Faith in God, fifth: Solidarity with refugees and the poor, sixth: Sustainable environmental technology, seventh: Jesus Christ as an example, eighth: A strong leader, ninth: Artificial Intelligence, and tenth: If not becoming active in Fridays for the Future, what else (could save the world)?”
