Global Pause - Rethink the Future

The way our time gets enframed as supplementary potentialises dystopia within our unavowed utopianism. We discuss what we need to see to avoid the trap we inadvertently set for ourselves

Does the way sustainability is framed obscure the underlying issue of our way of life such that the way of addressing it is compromised through the unquestioned givens never problematised as a result.  We discuss

The end of time as we know it, would that simply be our time framed as an economic good? Who would believe, and does it really need believers anyway for it to become true. We discuss

What happens to life when time becomes an economic good? Do we accept a holding pattern of our own making legitimised through our aspirations such we never question the qualitative difference when time is received this way? We discuss.

As consumers we demand, this is the extent of our agency; but what if we considered our agency from the command implicit within the sovereignty we don't demonstrate what would that potentialise....a world? We discuss

Are we any less religious for our secularism? If what we maintain in our way of life is a way of immanentising the afterlife in our everydayness then the process of secularisation is not as clear cut as it would seem. We discuss

Corporatism equals managerialism, what can we do to remove ourselves from the claim it has? If we manage ourselves we mirror what we find in the world, we are implicated in a way that means change would have to be considered holistic. We discuss.

Can we share community when our relationality is underwritten by the preeminent good of our time for the sake of our wants? Does the potential for community exist in the marginality we inadvertently accept for ourselves when market oriented. We discuss.

Our market oriented way of life is a holding pattern, but how is this so and where is the possibility for a line of flight? We discuss.

Our way of life sets a frenetic pace, that is akin to a vicious circle. Can we slow down or should we rather abandon this way in favour of a pace more in keeping with the natural rhythms of life. We discuss
