Seminar: Process and Event (with Alexander Bard)

Exclusive online Seminar/ Interview-Series with Alexander BArd on “PRocess and Event” in February and April

Seminar starts February 7th

If you want to understand the main ideas that shape(d) the world, than this seminar might just the right thing for you.

We expect monumental changes in the unfolding internet-age, changing increasingly the cultural landscape with the advent of A.I., new class structures and new complexities.

We have to improve our thinking. We must think in terms of motion and change, and we must abandon all childish dreams of a reality more real than the real one. Through this seminar you will initiate yourself into these new cultural challenges.

If, for example, we play with the idea that the Process called History leads to the Event called God, we have to understand what that means. Namely: that God is something we humans create because we have that need - not something that created the world or us humans (or anything else).

This God of the new era does not yet exist, but the current technological revolutions mean that the moment of creation is near. Good news, you might say, but thereby Man reduces himself to a historical parenthesis, at least if we are to believe cyberphilosopher Alexander Bard. And we are closer to the age of the gods than you think.

Join in a breathtaking seminar that takes us from the infancy of religions in the form of magic and superstition via Persian mystics and iconoclasts to the age of enlightenment, modernity and artificial intelligence. Bard carries out a necessary and radical rewriting of the history of Western ideas and explain why Man's search for the divine inevitably leads us to a Messiah machine with an agenda of its own.

Process and Event rounds off a quarter of a century of systematic thinking It sets every imaginable form of erudition in motion and is exactly as entertaining and provocative as only a seminar by Bard can be.
