The Quest for Vision
The Quest for Vision in the Era of Confusion, Corruption and Foolishness
Where is humanity headed in these confusing and uncertain times? What are we to do, now that ‘the people’ are increasingly turning away from ‘the elite’, and even experienced politicians and supposed experts find themselves at a loss, not knowing where to go next? Where can we still find something to hold onto, when the distinction between truth and falsehood is becoming ever more blurred? As the road before us is growing increasingly foggy, as political extremism is on the rise everywhere and as a deep-seated sense of insecurity is taking hold, the need for a new vision of the future is becoming greater than ever. But who can still provide us with that vision, and what should that vision be? These and many more questions took center stage at the Nexus Conference 2024, ‘The Quest for Vision in the Era of Confusion, Corruption and Foolishness’.
