KEYNOTE SPEECH: ONEIRIC JOURNEY FOR BUSINESS INTO THE NEXT TWO DECADES
The zeitgeist is changing. Trends that might seem obvious in hindsight are poorly understood in the present or not fathomed at all. We live in turbulent times now, at the tail end of order as we knew it. Perhaps, this time, this could be the most important crisis in our modern times. It can shape a new era, and the world of old prosperity can be wrenched away for good.
What comes next can’t be known – not with so much war and political instability, the rise of autocrats around the world, and the growing plausibility of a second Donald Trump term. A rebellion, both conscious and unconscious, has begun. Oneiric journey refers to a mental state in which visual hallucinations occur while fully awake. (in psychiatry). What is true? In what we trust? There is logic, though, in the anti-logic. According to Marcel Proust “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscape, but in having new eyes”. Therefore, we should commit ourselves to waking up and constantly refreshing our eyes.
