The first news came without warning. I was at university, with others. This was not the reason, but the first drafts of the information said that the blackout of Portugal and Spain. For a few seconds, silence is imposed.
We discussed the events on April 25, their experiences during the celebrations. There were those who were in the conflict area caused by extremists, describing how violence was much larger than the news; Whoever feels something strange, and a certain feeling of losing the goal, the feast turned into social entertainment; I was at the beginning of the march with Patricia and friends when the conflict exploded, and I had to determine whether it would continue or not. We have chosen to stay, go to the street, give time to time, and expect to solve everything before we arrive at the scene. Fortunately, this is what happened.
We talked about the party’s transformation, how violence stole the day of that day. My decision to move forward was that he understood that the embodiment of freedom still seems dangerous, and therefore, necessary.
During these reflections at the University of Lisbon, we surprised us. Sit, let’s eat coffee, take some water and return to the living room. Then another information came. France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, then to Germany and even Morocco. Will that be possible?
The automatic email platform warned that some passwords have been leaked publicly. Communications sometimes failed disappeared. It seems that the world is collapsing. It was necessary to forget our meeting and return home. Protecting and protecting ourselves, buying supplies, anything to prepare today. Or in the next three days, as someone has proposed heard of someone who knows, it is not known where, at least it will continue. This is “at least” scary.
No metro tunnels, ran to the bus, and fortunately, it was not imprisoned by the crosses without traffic lights. On the way, new versions arrived without any explanation. A fire was cut in France, the electrical distribution. Then a hydrocava was reaching a French distribution network. Therefore, it will be an accident in the Spanish transport that has spread in the systems.
Information appeared on the main local and international news sites. It was old or re -created news, but it only knew. Also by the official media, the Portuguese minister explained that the possibility of the internet bus for NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Then the news was rejected. Another minister stated that they have no concrete information about the reason for a blackout. Within 30 minutes I took to get home, there were five versions brought by the press. Sixth, it gives a cause of solar in the Spanish electric networks. So, while I write, it was just rejected.
Some purchases in Indian grocery stores, potential lunch in a small Nepalese, we lock. We lit the candles that were purchased in the Chinese language, and we played the floors to forget the information chaos slightly and follow them until the light returned. First, it is announced by friends. Then, through the windows of the neighbors. So our light was also light. Screaming and celebrations.
However, it was not the beginning of the First World War, as the content of the store, where we went, behind the radio. They are proud to publish it, with a typical smile for those who have distinct information. They were sure of what they said, because they had two sources that were indisputable: the groups that followed social networks and the global network of informants formed by McDonald’s employees.
I don’t know anything about the presence of this network, which seems to be delirious one of the most fun and creative that I have ever heard. Do not follow international conspiracies groups and their capabilities to reveal the crime world of events. However, I wanted to return to the store and hear releases on how to boycott the end of the world. I venture to say that they and their friends were, with the active support of the fast food official, who solved everything and will not tell me as they did, unless one of them became, which I am sorry, I have no enough patience to do.
Although crazy theories, the question was clear: confusion and unbearable for the government, with the main ministers in silence; Ministers and even the Prime Minister who were informed of the same social networks, such as the couple from the store; He also left the incredible response to the government without communications, and forgets radio devices to do so; The lack of objective organization in many basic sectors. If the disaster does not occur greater, this is not due to the ability of management and lightness of movement, then it was for attention, care and solidarity of the population and professionals in these sectors.
This void promotes conspiracy theories and gets worse, and makes it more dangerous, not subject to control. Meanwhile, opposing politicians have seized the opportunity to open chaos and revenge. In the end, it was not only electrical, but also moral and imitated among those who suggest the leadership and leadership of the population.
Without access to communications
As light and a lot also run out without access to communications, isolated in material and media darkness, our deep dependence on the means has been revealed. Since we have inexhaustible and guaranteed resources, and from this other quality of delirium, we define, without realization, the current state identity state.
Dark is not only the immediate absence of electrical lighting, but the detection of our fragility: we adopt, from the most practical methods, such as dealing with the most complex times, such as feeling safe. When we face its ability, the collective goes to another stage, then anxiety and impotence. These feelings reorganize our topics, which increases the feeling of individual and political lack of protection.
This means that we are unrelectedly prepared for the collapse of systems that regulate and lead the way we live. Some authors call this condition of radical uncertainty: a collapse not only technology, because it works on imagination by breaking accounts of being an era of abundance, continuity, development, self -efficacy, field and breach.
Therefore, it is necessary to think of the multiple systemic collapse as an intervention from technology to economic, from social to natural with other answers. We need to include care and collective thinking as basic places. After all, the dowry experience is not a universal fact. He faces many of this situation as an event, not as an event.
The risk of understanding is only unexpected, to turn it into urgency, and therefore our critical thinking can be removed. Because it does not reach urgent than its immediate solution. Leave the embarrassment later. But in practice, as soon as it is solved, we cried and celebrated, and life is the same again.
Active imagination
Finding other forms requires “active novels”, that is, imagining another world: a world that is not led by technologies with global branches that only belong to these broad and medium economic empires. We need to think about multiple knowledge, means, and ways to inhabit the available reality and itself by other cultures.
“Pluriverse” is composed of the knowledge of peoples and civilizational models in line with nature and non -capitalist and non -attractive perspectives. We need each other more and more the means that dominate us; We need to be suspicious of technocratic facilities, as we create a multiple, responsible and subscriber future.
Perhaps blackout has been afraid, alert others, fun, and even uncomfortable who has anything to suffer from his consequences. If we want to take advantage of the experiment, we can direct our feelings to discomfort due to a lot of dependence and the amount of this dependence on excess. It was not known anymore. But it is still a confrontation between the collapse and nature system.
Therefore, we are late, not to protect systems, but to protect ourselves from this model, which is no longer left to the future. It is time for us to abandon disadvantaged techniques – development – has evolved since the Enlightenment belief was the best or a single way to liberate the mind. The background project, in its symbolic and philosophical exhaustion, appears to declare its end. This week, the end of the Enlightenment chose to scream literally.
