Lectio Praecursoria: Throws of Dice

Abstract

Today, there would be so many urgent issues to talk about, if one was to zoom out from this room, from this building, from this neighbourhood, and city, even further from this Nordic welfare state.  If we look at a broader picture outside of the frame, the production of crude oil has brought the effects of climate change to the point where the damage will be impossible to repair. Plastic waste is filling the oceans, meat production causes suffering for billions of animals, simultaneously polluting what is left from this planet. The global market economy has made sure that we keep participating, or at least those, who can afford it.
