Hello and welcome to

Hello and welcome to ACFM, the home of the weird left.

I'm Jeremy Gilbert.

I'm here as usual with my friend Nadia Idol.

Hello.

My other good friend, Keir Milbin.

Hello.

And today we are talking about the future.

Okay, so why are we talking about the future, Keir? Well, I mean, the future, the absence of the future, the disappearance of the future. Okay, so why are we talking about the future, Keir? Well, I mean,

the future, the absence of the future, the disappearance of the future, the short nature of

the future, you know, that seems to be one of the conditions of the contemporary world,

you know, and this struggle to refine some idea of the future which we could sort of we could move towards the part of

I think is this sense that we're living in the time of crisis and emergency you know if you look at

something like extinction rebellion for instance you know that their statements where we're living in

emergency therefore we need a completely new way of doing things, basically.

That idea of the future, which is really foreshorten,

is quite hard to resolve with a more strategic left politics in which you're trying to act in the present to move towards the future.

That's one way in which one reason we'd want to talk about the future.

We also have done a couple of workshops recently,

consciousness raising sessions, live consciousness raising sessions.

On the theme of the future,

we ask people to, you know, questions and they fed back, etc.
