Activities and Space. Adapted from Arendt.

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
