Course Description

Overview

Explore the intricate relationship between time, change, and societal progress in this thought-provoking TEDx talk. Delve into Willan Meier's perspective on how the present is shaped by both past and future, challenging traditional linear concepts of time. Examine the evolution of societies from cyclical patterns to embracing change and progress. Discover the connection between freedom, the right to change, and economic and political mechanisms like markets and democracy. Investigate the consequences of these mechanisms, from precariousness to the pursuit of immortality. Question the nature of time itself and its impact on human evolution. Gain insights from Meier's diverse background as a multilingual policy analyst, music curator, and project manager with experience in organizing major events and advising multilateral institutions. Learn how his unique perspective, shaped by his upbringing in Germany, Rwanda, and Burkina Faso, influences his understanding of change and time in our ever-evolving world.
