Alguns dias antes desta palestra, a jornalista Naomi Klein estava em um barco no Golfo do México, avaliando os resultados catastróficos da produção arriscada de petróleo da BP. As nossas sociedades se tornaram viciadas em risco extremo na busca de novas energias, novos instrumentos financeiros e mais ... e frequentemente, somos nós que limpamos a bagunça depois. Klein pergunta: Qual é o plano B?

Naomi Klein: Viciada em risco

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.
