Activities and Space. Adapted from Arendt.
P A N D E M I C , S P A C E A N D T I M E
Pandemia restricts our access to this
important means of connection, the
Public Space, forcing many of us to
carry out all activities, work, work and
action at home, physically separated
from each other.
At the same time, it highlights a
scenario described by the U.S. Army
War College at the end of the last
century, the post-Cold War VUCA
world, and its 4 attributes.
Technology, Space and Time
Relate
To produce
To convince
With cell phones, Internet of Things and
autonomous vehicles, among other
innovations, we live surrounded by
technological solutions to meet desires
that did not exist before, but which we can
no longer give up. The appeal to be able to
do things, accessible to a few clicks, that
could not have been done until recently, is
alluring and represents a considerable
increase in individual power. For good and
for bad.
Conclusions
Totalizing ideologies are in check;
social and political actions are not
sustained under secular belief
systems; we depend more and more
on each other. We need reflection
and resilience in the face of the
changes that the moment demands.
Economist and navigator Amyr Klink
says that, instead of attaching to
material goods, we need to relearn
how to make and create new tools,
for a different world, more
egalitarian and respectful of natural
resources. This new learning is the
challenge that presents itself at this
moment. The old ways of seeing the
planet, of being in the world, no
longer fit.
Space and Time are parameters for
recording the moments when we feel
happy. New motivations will make us
get up every day, study, work and
live together. And we can be happy
in these new circumstances.
The Abayomi Academy researches
ways to improve the quality in the
performance of our activities and its
records of Space and Time, thus
facilitating our path towards
personal fulfillment, which
eventually translates into Happiness.
4 Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. "The U.S.
Army War College used this concept to explain the world in
the post-Cold War context." Available at
