Life Is Not Useful - Ailton Krenak

Descriere Life Is Not Useful - Ailton Krenak

\n \nIndigenous leader and activist Ailton Krenak reminds us that we must awaken from the comatose senselessness we have been immersed in since the beginning of the modern colonial project, where order, progress, development, consumerism, and capitalism have taken over our entire existence, leaving us only very partially alive, and, in fact, almost dead. To awaken from the coma of modernity is, for Krenak, to awaken to the possibility of becoming attuned to the cosmic sense of life. He points out that the COVID-19 pandemic affects all so-called human lives and that the time is ripe for us all to reflect on and undo the exclusivity and distinction that have characterized the concept of humanity throughout Western modernity.\n
