Abstract

How can the world be changed if, due to evolution, we humans only deal with the concrete dangers, we get used to change and simply ignore problems that arise? Stephan Rammler's answer: with the social power of the great will - the concrete utopia. His contribution from Course Book 187 is about storytelling and narratability, the power and limits of images and stories that convey the longing for a better world. After all, today there is less need for a competition of the best crisis analyses and doomsday scenarios than for the best stories of a successful future.
The humanist visionary Richard Buckminster Fuller believed that the best way to predict the future was to create it yourself. The first step is to tell it differently.
