The term "Village" The active and practised knowledge
(on
functional and legitimation concepts)
The critical point remains unpredictable. This is the uncertainty of the future...so far, far away: a small abandoned house, in a small abandoned village, in a big abandoned land.
listen to the silence:
However, this insight
is not an excuse for the relevance of our actions. But the
villages were deserted long enough, the baker had to close, the hairdresser and
finally the doctor left.
It is the small impositions of life
that have an effect here in this small village, thsi small community. The world relationship to which
we align ourselves is not our differences, our ethnicities or our attitudes, no,
it is the common problems that unite us here.
The future is oriented towards the common solution of the common problems.

When I captured the desire to live independently and rely solely on my one’s abilities. Interviews.
We always say we are sitting on the ruins of
previous civilisations.
But define civilisation!
What is culture?
The smallest noticeable difference and independent perception
As Latour and Guinard commented: “There
is increasing disagreement on how to keep the world inhabitable, not only
because political opinions diverge, but more crucially because we don’t seem to
agree on what the earth is made of. Some today may even think the world is flat!
It is as if there were several versions of Earth, with properties and capacities
that are so different that they are like distinctive planets, which results in
deviation in the way one feels, behaves, and predicts their future.”

As European great
achievement of the world history is valid: beside the authority of the cultures
and their obligations there is also an authority of the individuals.
For 600 years the individual (in the form of the artist and scientist) has demanded expression.
Art and science are always the "innovations in a culture, both disciplines are about otherness. Culture itself is only interested in its preservation. It is about repetition, about ensuring its stability. The survival of a culture is guaranteed by the power of repetition. Repetition is, so to speak, the ritualised form of begetting liabilities.
In science and art, however, it is exactly the opposite. Here, it is about a permanent unfolding and development of the justification of authority and individual authorship.
Besides the authority of cultures and their liabilities, there is therefore also an authority of individuals.
Artists don't let yourselves be celebrated as creators of culture, the real heroes of culture are policemen, bakers, rubbish workers....

6.4. Our transferences are based on wrong principles
And the question we have to ask ourselves is: Who is responsible for social objectives today?
A metaphor is not an ornament. It is an organ of perception." Neil Postman
Postman like his teacher
and hero,
Marshall McLuhan, maintained that the medium through
which information is conveyed directly colors meaning and our sense
of the world.
Postman thought that belief in technology was the
great mistake of modernity....
Is there anyone who does not yet believe this?
