The Cure – Jess Hill at Festival of Dangerous Ideas

Five competing remedies for a sick civilisation.
 

Everyone knows what’s wrong with the world. The harder question is what should be done about it? Five speakers take the stage with a single challenge: present the one idea they believe would most improve humanity’s future. From geopolitics and democracy to culture, community, freedom and meaning, each offers a radically different prescription for a troubled age. Some proposals may inspire hope. Others may provoke outrage. Together, they reveal not just competing solutions, but competing visions of what a better world might look like.
