Recreating a Narrative for the Future

I think that we are, uh, losing

a narrative which has guided humankind

since its beginning. It's the narrative that

you are here and you, you owe your existence

also to prepare a better future. If you go

back to the agricultural society, even to the beginnings,

uh, or, uh, during the whole time of the industrial

society, there was this, uh, drive, uh,

to create a better world for the future.

Today,

um, with all the crises which we have,

with the multitude of problems we are confronted with,

I think we have become much more egocentric, m- on

a, on a individual and also on a national way.

That makes international cooperation so much more difficult, by the way.

And I think we have to think about how

we recreate this narrative. And here I have to

say I'm quite optimistic
