Ideas to Postpone the End of the WorldDescription
From renowned Brazilian Indigenous activist and leader Ailton Krenak comes an urgent and necessary appeal to save the planet.
Humanity is facing the greatest environmental disaster of its existence. Global pandemics, extreme weather events, and massive wildfires all define the era many now call the Anthropocene.
In three lectures, Ailton Krenak argues that this is rooted in the flawed idea that humanity is separate from and superior to nature. In our collective march towards the abyss, we must reject the homogenizing effect of our human-first perspective and embrace a new idea of “dreaming,” one that allows us to regain our proper place within nature. Only then will we find more solutions to survive.
