Different realities
I could not do my speech in Budapest directly due to the neurological issue with my voice. So I decided to try to make my point during the Euro-SPES conference using video. My topic was about ethics and how we tend to use different criteria for good and bad, depending on the context of our reflections. I used examples out of my personal life. But most importantly the awareness and practical proof that the existential values represented by Sustainocracy represent a unifying force, also in the field of applied ethics.
Here is my reflection during that beautiful aniversary of a scientific community with a global presence.
Smart regions deal wisely with their water responsibilities.
In Sustainocracy we see water, air, food and warmth as shared responsibilities for our sustainable existence as a species and the stable continuity of our societies, not just as financial commodities. That is why it is so beautiful to see how, in the regio of Eindhoven, mature steps are being taken in dealing responsibly with water and our main river, De Dommel. This is done in close cooperation again with nature, instead of competing with it. This video shows the awareness driven cooperation on how things are being straightened out, were they went wrong in past decades out of one sided financial interests.
