OUBEY Complexity (Trailer)

Unser Wissen über den Kosmos und die Welt, was in ihr geschieht und wer wir selbst als Teil des Lebens auf dieser Welt und in diesem Universum eigentlich sind, hat sich in den letzten einhundert Jahren enorm erweitert. Und in den letzten dreißig Jahren ist dieses Wissen in einem geradezu schwindelerregenden Tempo gewachsen. Damit hat sich auch unser Bild von der Welt und uns selbst verändert, wobei unser Bewusstsein mit der Anforderung, dieses rasant zunehmende Wissen angemessen zu verarbeiten, seine Mühe hat.

When I was recently in Paris walking down the rue de Rivoli on my way to the Louvre, there was a group of three people in front of me – they could have been a mother with her two teenage kids. And each of them was holding up a selfie stick and filming themselves as they made their way down the street. I had never seen anything of the sort before. Now in a city like Paris you can see the excesses of the current selfie mania on every street corner. It’s only outsiders who seem able to enjoy the many wonderful views the city offers without resorting to the smartphone for a selfie that immortalises them in the scene.

Up to about fifteen thousand years ago, our ancestors were nomads living in a simple world of the transitory present. Feeding themselves by hunting and gathering, they could see no further than the immediate satisfaction of their daily needs.
