👁The revolutionary power of diverse thought
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣\"From populist demagogues, we will learn the indispensability of democracy,\" says novelist Elif Shafak. \"From isolationists, we will learn the need for global solidarity. And from tribalists, we will learn the beauty of cosmopolitanism.\" A native of Turkey, Shafak has experienced firsthand the devastation that a loss of diversity can bring -- and she knows the revolutionary power of plurality in response to authoritarianism. In this passionate, personal talk, she reminds us that there are no binaries, in politics, emotions and our identities. \"One should never, ever remain silent for fear of complexity,\" Shafak says.

👁An art made of trust, vulnerability and connection
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Marina Abramović's art pushes the boundary between audience and artist in pursuit of heightened consciousness and personal change. In her groundbreaking 2010 work, \"The Artist Is Present,\" she simply sat in a chair facing her audience, for eight hours a day ... with powerfully moving results. Her boldest work may still be yet to come -- it's taking the form of a sprawling art institute devoted to experimentation and simple acts done with mindful attention. \"Nothing happens if you always do things the same way,\" she says. \"My method is to do things I'm afraid of, the things I don't know, to go to territory that nobody's ever been.\"

What causes an economic recession?

But around 800 BCE, that began to change: the value of bronze declined, causing social upheaval and an economic crisis— what we would call a recession today. So what causes recessions?

Dan Pallotta dreams of a time when we are as excited, curious and scientific about the development of our humanity as we are about the development of our technology. \"What we fear most is that we will be denied the opportunity to fulfill our true potential,\" Pallotta says. \"Imagine living in a world where we simply recognize that deep, existential fear in one another -- and love one another boldly because we know that to be human is to live with that fear.\"
