Are we MULTIPOTENTIAL or POSTMODERN people?

Or both?

Who never? who had never encountered the dilemma of taking a long course, marrying or buying a house (paying a looong loan for it) in a city which we dream with, and for moments that seemed like eternity, imagined himself just like leashed in a marriage, a tedious career ad infinitum or compromising trips because of the house who gets a good part of the budget, and therefore has to give up future opportunities (those that do not even appear in a distant horizon).

Honestly, i do it almost every day.

And, between idealized dreams and the will to embrace the world (or rather, the universe, or rather the multiverse), we, multipotentials, construct a hundred of houses never finished in the space-time of our life.

Here are the symptoms of men and women of postmodernity (or, as the great Zigmunt Bauman said, of "liquid modernity"): they want everything, they finish very few things, they are never satisfied. Beings whose happiness is in the process of seeking it, instead of at last achieving it: and if this happens and lasts a little longer, happiness loses grace and boredom sets in until the new search begins (oh, I've also mentioned the dread of waiting for something / someone for the next 15 minutes ???).

Bauman talks about it here, below:

One of the absurdities of our modern liquid age is also the fact that we need specialists for everything (including to find even the best specialist we need). Was it a symptom, this explosion of gurus and "couch" of this and that?

And what about you: are you multipotential, too? What are your pains and delights of being what you are?

Multipotentiality and liquid modernity will be recurring themes here on the blog. Therefore, it is not possible to exhaust it topics in a single post.

What do you think about both topics?

San Junipero, Black Mirror and the Virtual Reality (VR)

Did you ever watch Black Mirro series ? If not, I highly recommend watching. Well worth it. (and I confess: for me, " San Junipero" is the best episode of this series that I consider one of the best I've ever seen). Let's go. If you've already watched, have you noticed how much similarity there is between the San Jenipero episode and the virtual reality that have been growing through devices like the Gear VR glasses, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift? For those who have not attended yet (warning: spoiler !!) and will not have time to briefly see two women meet in "San Jenipero" at a local bar called Tucker's in the mid 80's. From then on the story begins to unfold (in a very interesting way, by the way). At one point, one of them starts looking for the other in the same bar, and then the thing takes an unexpected and wonderful course: this search ends up happening between scenes in the 80s, 90s and 2000s when finally, th...

New year and it promises (i mean, our promises...) :)

Every single year is always the same: we are saturated with everything that happened last year and, so, we promises that everything will be better in the new year. Since the world is world seems to be like this: someone who promises to lose weight in this new year; the other one who promises not to make debts he can not pay; another one that promises to practice more exercises: anyway, we always want to do better next year. And that has a good side: always try to improve, to start over, to believe that it can be better, this time (well it would be if we could be more determined and focused about our goals, but for some reason we never achieve it in the most cases, right?). And, in order not to lose my custom, this year, I promise to achieve my goals, to be more determined with my goals, to produce more, to do more and ... if nothing works, next year, I will! What about you? What are your goals for 2018 ?? By the way, a Happy New Year! Happy 2018!

INVENT IT Google Maps with Livestreaming 360 VIDEOS

Did you ever thought the day we could use Google Maps to see what is going on in a given location by a LIVESTREAMING ? AND THE BEST: from a 360 VIDEO !! It works like this: you want to know about a address. Then you type it and there appears a lot of circles moving in the region. Then you click on these circles and watch people livestreaming 360-degree VIDEO from the place you're searching, from their 360 cameras and cell phones. It would be awesome, right? For while, Google did not invent it. Well, Google not yet invented it... what about somebody else invent, huh ?? Here's the first tip of series INVENT IT! , which will be constant here at OIKOS. Best!

PerspeActive !
