We all live in Covid Times and we learn what it is to live in liquid times, as sociologist Zygmunt Bauman determined.
Todays life and rules differ from the times and rules of yesterday.
Nobody is asking us to change, it just happens.
MoTiv organizes in the week of 19 May a (probably online) seminar on the changes of times and the necessary U-turns many of us are involved in to make the entire Earth a new paradise.
We cannot sit back and wait, there is a lot of work to do!
The seminar will have three main themes:
Contributing to a new paradise by technology. What is and what is not possible.
Can robotics save the earth or is it dangerous technology?
How to deal with biology and bio-tech. Can we really change the DNA of the world and reshape nature and society?
Philosophical and ethical thoughts about creating a new paradise for humanity and earth at the same time.
Are we responsible for future generations? What is the paradigm we are living in? What is the good life?
Challenge: We dare student organizations to take up the gauntlet and come with creative ideas to prepare this symposium for TUDelft and other Delft institutions.
