- coming back to life as we can now know it?

What’s at stake for whom?

Original writing title: The Great resignation & the Great gig in the sky

Part I — Section 1/3

Can I, the individual, communicate authentically with the world?

Intermezzo — having a deeper look at aspects of the human condition

German Sociologist Hartmut Rosa supplies an interesting perspective in this theory of resonance (Resonance — a sociology of our relationship to the world) [1]. An extract from the definition is prudent:

“Resonance is not an echo, but a responsive relationship, requiring both sides speak with their own voice”.

He describes 3 major modern crises and their root causes:

Environmental crisis — because of the fact that we lose nature as a sphere of resonance when we treat it only as a resource (the same thing can be claimed for the use of humans).

  • Not the fact that we are imprudent in our use of natural resources!

Hybrid background and experiences from public and private sectors as internal & external. Military, Engineering, Philosophy, IT, HR… excellent boundary spanner.
