La multi ani?
Harrison Bergeron (1995)
Welcome to the future. It’s a no-brainer. “All men are not created equal. It is the purpose of the Government to make them so.” This is the premise of the Showtime film adaption of Kurt Vonnegut’s futuristic short story Harrison Bergeron. The film centers around a young man (Harrison) who is smarter than his peers, and is not affected by the usual “Handicapping” which is used to train all Americans so everyone is of equal intelligence

Wisdom
Un proiect foarte frumos.
Inspired by the idea that wisdom is the greatest gift one generation can give to another, award-winning photographer and filmmaker Andrew Zuckerman interviewed, photographed and filmed 50 of the world’s great writers, actors, artists, designers, politicians, musicians and religious and business leaders of our time. He posed seven questions to each of his subjects—all over 65 years of age—and their candid responses offer uniquely inspirational and often surprising insights.
Why more is less?
Barry Schwartz is a sociology professor at Swarthmore College and author of The Paradox of Choice. In this talk, he persuasively explains how and why the abundance of choice in modern society is actually making us miserable. (Recorded July 2005 in Oxford, UK.)
Mihai Mihalcea - Intervenţie în spaţiul public
Indiferenţa ubicuă, moliciunea privirii care trece peste lucruri ca şi când n-ar fi acolo, uşurinta cu care coabităm deseori cu variante ale monstruosului şi cu care reuşim să ne justificăm, ne arată că nu percepem consecinţele gesturilor şi acţiunilor noastre. Că reacţionăm de cele mai multe ori fără conştiinţa valorilor pe care ne întemeiem practicile, obiceiurile, gesturile şi actiunile. Exagerând un pic s-ar putea spune că în afara instinctelor primare care ne apără de pericolele imediate nu avem nici un senzor activ pentru ceea ce ne afectează. Ne lipseşte sensibilitatea la schimbările politice şi sociale care ne afectează ca indivizi şi ca grupuri şi, ca urmare, nu reacţionăm.
