I found it!
2000-2010. And still now
The right words for the 'zeitgeist' is PERFECTIONISM, GREED and SURVIVAL
a precious equilibrium
We are living in the perfect period of time! We, Europeans.
We have 'everything ', everybody joints in, somewhere, everybody counts or is able to count and there is justice for everybody. And at the same time all is jeopardised by emotions, two emotions in particular:
FEAR. Which leads to hide or run and protection and to make money
LUST Which leads to new offspring
How to counter these two emotions?
Recklesness?
Platonic love?
I will do some storylines later. I have collected some fine 'pictures' made by Jacob Cats, and some very recent pictures, made by an unidentified graphic designer......
And I have done some thinking. I woke up this morning with an enormous headache......
'2001 New York, We' are threathened with machines of our own invention. And we did that before, in WO II, Europe.
Plant thinking, thinking in metaphors, distinction, the diversity of language and the imagination of people.
Factual writing ( so everybody can understand) and imaginary thinking, writing in metaphors ( to seduce everybody)
How to deal with it in History? As a quite 'civilised' profession? Facts and storytelling? It sounds like almost the hardest to do on planet Earth. So, it takes the 'best' persons, the best trained and qualified professionals to do so. You have seen nothing yet. Fukuyama and Maarten are only the beginning.
And when they, the historians, the good guys and dolls have the money, they dissappear......... Just like the good guy in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Sergio Leone.......what a miracle! And are 'we' not all looking for Mr and or Mrs. Right?
History, I love it! And hate it!
Now, I can eat some more cake. Celebrate good times, com ' on.......
