Post-Truth 2

Pragmatism, the way forward. I am trying to say the least.

Yesterday, I cleared my desk.

I saw some cereals in my pantry and brought them to work.
I made myself a bowl.
It was nice. It is a nice morning. It will be a good day.

The Whys, the Hows and the ongoing tension the participants of the research experience between what is currently seen as an ideal behaviour and their own provide the reader with a mirror to reflect upon their own working or non-working situation. The work of André Gorz on The Politics of Time punctuates the writing in a beautiful manner and I am thankful to have been introduced to his thoughts. Finally, He invites us to get ready to o...
