[MUSIC] I love books. I love bookstores and all over the world when I have an, an hour available, I got to book stores. And recently I had, like, something strange. I was in a book store and there was a table. A table with lots of books. But with something in common. And I'll show you a bit the way it was just like this. All books had, the end of, somewhere in the title. And I was a bit surprised, a bit puzzled, a bit intrigued, say this is strange. And I called the manager and say why did you do this? He told me through successful books. We'd like to sell them. But do you realize that they're all facing the past? We would like to have some books for the future and I told him I'm only 66, maybe another 20 years to live, and I'd like to have books for the next 20 years, and said well we don't have them. And, this is just to show this, the end of, the end of, it's so human to leak, to look backwards. I'd like to have this lecture the other way, to the future. Again, you remember we spoke about change during lecture number one. It was more a technical way to look at change. We split the change of perception on one hand. A change of reality, of on the other hand, it was called A Forgotten Half of Change, you remember. So this time we're going to focus on change again, again, but not that much on the form but more on the content. What's really happening? And this anecdote of, of the bookstores is is a funny way to answer the problem. We, that's the way we are. It's not too easy, too difficult to see what we are leaving. Of course, the way we paid for example, cash, is disappearing a little bit. The way we work, et cetera, et cetera. And it's not too difficult to write books about the end of. But what's going to happen? That's the major issue. How can we talk about, about the future? Which are the new boxes that we deny this crack in lecture. Number and number six. So. The way to do that, probably, is to analyze the deep nature of the human being. We don't like change, nobody does, we, nobody does. Even genius people resist to change. When we can talk Edison, Edison, one of the greatest inventor all time, all time, and he resist to the introduction of the alternative current. A genius resisted change. Not a surprise. It's not because you're a genius that you are not a human being. We're a bit the same. We don't like it. Another example I like is Charlie Chaplin, who's, of course, one of the genius of movies. And he resisted to change as well. He made most of his films in silence. It was called silent movie. And then in the 30s, it was like a new technology. Suddenly it was possible for an actor to talk. And for the movie maker to record the voice. And Chaplin said, no, I don't want to enter this world. So Edison, Chaplin, we are all the same. And during this lecture, we will try to overcome this fear and to find a way to, to do it. The last example I'd like to talk about is Louis Braille. Louis Braille. He's famous for this reason, he introduced a system, you can see on the, on the picture, and suddenly, blind people could somehow read. This story is incredible. Louis Braille was ten years old, he had an accident. He was working for his father, and he had an accident. Suddenly he be came blind. But he was brilliant, he was brilliant. And, he decided to resist to this depression of the complete collapse, he say no I want to help blind people to overcome their problem. And, he invented something called the, the Braille writing, the writing Braille, but what's interesting, the idea existed before. But it was not used for blind people. It was used for military. During the night, they couldn't read, of course, there was no light. So they used this kind of system to read. He just trans, transport this idea of military into the blind world. And what's interesting, he need money. He need money. And he was, he was helped by politicians who found the idea brilliant. And so they went to the Parliament like that. It's a usual way, the way, usual way to do to get money. And there was, I don't know who, who asked money for Louis Braille. The budget was denied. Budget was denied and the reason is incredible. Because according to the deputies, this kind of writing is not possible for people who cannot see. And indeed like you and me, we cannot read Braille. So the budget was denied. And then in the second round, Lamartine, a French author and writer and famous people, went to the Parliament and deliver a speech. And thanks to him, finally a budget was dedicated to this blind writing idea.
