E Pluribus Unum

We probably all remember the musketeers, very entertaining indeed, a small group achieving wonders by sticking together. We all know deep down that we are stronger as a group, but how do we go from a mere ensemble of four to the whole community of humans from planet Earth to pursue a common goal: Reverse climate change and make the world a better place for all?

If we believe Science, homo sapiens have survived all this time not because of their superior abilities as individuals but thanks to their superior abilities as a community. An interesting fact that we take for granted, after all we have been on top of the food chain for so long, why would this change now?

Even without really wanting to pay attention, it does not take too long to acknowledge that the world is in a dire situation, extreme climate conditions, extreme inequalities and now nearly two years of pandemic with catastrophic economic consequences. It looks like everything is imbalanced.

Gérald Bronner in his latest production “Cognitive Apocalypse” shows cleverly how we never have had so much available time for our brain and how this time is constantly highjacked by an ever increasing flow of stimuli delivered by an ever increasing amount of data. If our civilisation wants to survive, there is one clear path and it’s collaboration.
