Nekoliko dana prije ovog govora, novinarka Naomi Klein je bila na brodu u Meksičkom zaljevu i promatrala katastrofalne posljedice riskantnog crpljenja nafte British Petroleuma. Naša društva su postala ovisna o ekstremnom riziku u potrazi za novom energijom, novim financijskim instrumentima i drugim... i suviše često, nama kasnije ostaje počistiti nered. Klein postavlja pitanje: koji je rezervni plan?

Naomi Klein: Ovisni o riziku

Modern society has become dangerously comfortable with gambling away what is precious and irreplaceable, from fragile ecosystems to stable economies. After witnessing the BP oil spill’s lingering damage to phytoplankton in the Gulf of Mexico, the talk exposes how reckless risk-taking—from financial crashes to extreme energy extraction—echoes a deeper cultural myth of endless growth and backup plans. The illusion that technology or new frontiers will save us keeps us from facing real limits and embracing precaution. Until we change the stories we tell about power, nature, and progress, we risk repeating catastrophe.
