GLOBO-
                               Globologos is an oasis for free-roaming ideas, a gathering place
                               where participants are invited to join a collective effort to build “du-
                               rable creativity” that goes beyond the discourse of consumerism.




LOGOS
                                    We live in an age of rapid growth for thinkers and philoso-
                               phers. As ideas are pushed beyond their natural sphere, there is
                               a need to rediscover their primary essence, and this innovative
                               project transforms ideas back into fertile creative sparks.




MANI-
                                    Globologos sets out to be a unifying force that brings together
                               theories about the deeper meaning of life.
                                    As a tribute to the work of Jacques Languirand, this Web
                               space features a range of concepts which were inspired by the




FESTO
                               philosopher’s 35 years of archives and documents, adapted by
                               Jean-François Alain. The concepts are presented in the site to
                               provoke debate. Moreover, since human interaction is integral
                               to inspiration, the project will head to different events, such as
                               Earth Day, where visitors will be ushered into an anti-boredom
                               shelter – a veritable biosphere for cultivating curiosity.

             Though we have roles to play in the universe, the meaning of
             our actions is not found in the simple act of performing them.
             Rather, meaning lies in our desire to be more, to fulfill ourselves
             while existing. We hope to achieve a level of consciousness that
             opens our eyes to our deep nature as co-creators in the universal
             order. The level to which we participate in the co-creative act
             determines just how much we are truly alive. Each of us has to
             do our part in the world, no matter what our work may be. If we
             adopt this attitude, work will become a powerful means of ta-
             king control of our lives.

             Life means adapting to the changes that we are subjected at
             each moment. To go forward, we take each new step forward
             carefully, like tightrope walkers. We are all looking for our cen-
             tre of balance; everything else revolves around it. At times, we
             may resist moving forward, but remaining immobile means ac-
             cepting only the illusion of being near our centre of stability. If
             we resist change, we regress, we cease to exist. Harmony is not
             found by stopping, it is found by moving in rhythm to the chan-
             ges in our lives.

By Our SeLf-eSteem.
Human beings are social creatures. The quality of our interac-
tions with others and our personal contribution to society are
determined by our self-esteem. This feeling of interdependence
is translated by a commitment to communication, a helping re-
lation or our support of others. These undertakings will have
beneficial effects on our mental and physical health. Thus, it is
good to not only be prosperous, but to view ourselves as chan-
nels for the prosperity of others.

             The Id is the instance of the personality and psyche. It expres-
             ses the vital energy that is controlled by stimulation, love, the
             exploration of the world and creativity. It’s also what predispo-
             ses us to take risks, to live passionately as if life was one big ad-
             venture. In our society of production/consumption, we suffer
             from a shriveled Id. This translates into a fear of living. Suppres-
             sing the vital energy condemns us to live a reduced, impove-
             rished life. And our growth is suspended.

Our needS with Our deSireS.


In our Western society, we are, for the most part, well beyond
needing material goods for survival. We are now at a point where
we confuse our needs with our desires. Some amongst us derive
satisfaction from intellectual or personal development. We are
satisfied and we passively resist all sensitive societal projects.

Of the future.

In Greek mythology, Cronos and time are one and the same. He
destroys his own creations, he devours his children. Thus, he is
the image of time devouring us. The present seems to elude us
as we are trapped in the past and fearful of the future. But if we
discover the present moment, we will stop chasing after time
and we will become more conscious of living. We will overcome
our fear of silence, the void, and ourselves. We will exist in the
now without living in the past and fleeing the future. We will
exist in a moment of self.

             From the time we developed culture as a means of evolution, we

             In addition to letting destiny play a role in our lives, we must
             each be the Master of our Fate. This may seem contradictory,
             but we live in a world of dualities. We need to move on from a
             state of black and white – destiny vs. free will – to one where
             both exist complementarily. This is the middle way. We should
             not be tempted to explain the present by means of the past, but
             by way of the future, that is to say, the goal of our lives’ hunt.

Behind all success, whether spiritual or physical, material or im-
material, lies a strong motivation which has been sustained
through effort. Some of our habits are road blocks that never
allow us to reach new heights of success, but we fear changing
them. Our closest relations should encourage us to surpass our-
selves, but often they hold us back. It takes effort to overcome
our fear of ridicule in the eyes of others.

             eventually, sort itself out. Hope is a procrastinator that says so-
             lutions to problems will be found outside of us and will not be
             dependent upon us. This allows us to justify and reinforce our
             powerlessness. We need to start displaying our determination
             more than our hope.

Mass society does not easily tolerate deviation from the norm
and thus the majority of us give up our autonomy in order to
conform. We adapt by submitting to conformity instead of by
means of our actions. We must have the courage to destroy the
collective being and give birth to the individual being. We must
have the courage to be autonomous and different, to define our-
selves outside of the norm. This will give us freedom.

             When we go to the edge of our sanity, we explore all the possibi-
             lities that exist within us. Thus, we reveal to others and ourselves
             hither-to unrecognized aspects of our characters which otherwi-
             se would have escaped our consciousness. Each morning, we
             must water the fruits of naivety and look upon the world with
             new eyes. This will allow us to sustain life’s sacred flame.

Survival on this planet means a species must integrate itself into
its ecosystem and live in balance with other species. Humans
have forgotten that their survival depends on the quality of their
interaction with their environment! Humanity has disrupted
the fragile balance that ensures its own survival. No other spe-
cies has been as harmful as ours; we say with good reason that
the earth is “infested” by humans!

             We are different from one another, but human nature is the
             same for everyone. We have known the same childhood fears,
             the same anguishes. We have dreamt the same dreams, nurtured
             the same hopes, known the same deceptions. It doesn’t matter
             which particular circumstances or experiences each of us has
             had. For when all is said and done, what matters has happened
             on an instinctual, spiritual and intellectual level. The fundamen-
             tal needs are the same for everyone: security, stimulation, iden-
             tity. We have much more in common than we think, despite our
             tendency to think we are unique.

             If we listen with complacency, we will end up feeling detached
             from the world. We are social animals and the investment of an
             individual in the community, in one form or another, is not only
             a factor for happiness, but also for balance. If the world isn’t
             working properly, it is due to the fact that a large number
             of individuals, often among the elite, invest a large part of their
             energy in narcissistic endeavours, thus depriving the world of a
             contribution to the community’s well-being. Misunderstood
             selfhood, that is to say narcissism and egocentricity, accentuates
             the paranoid tendency of perceiving ourselves as victims and we
             stagnate in our experiences.

Philosophizing is a vital part of life, like eating or drinking. Our
experiences in life need to be explained and the unfathomable
human nature needs to be reflected upon. In the beginning,
we are sleeping, living in a dream. Little by little we gain
consciousness, taking on roles as both actor and witness in the
dream. Consciousness – a poisoned gift – comes with an existen-
tial anxiety, a motor for philosophical questioning. We should
seek out meaning, a better understanding of human nature, and
the way the world works. In other words, we must search for
ourselves in the world.

             It’s the feeling of the sacred that gives life the most meaning.
             Without it, suffering, trials and obstacles wouldn’t make any
             sense. More so, the sacred does not necessarily mean religious
             faith, but the intuition into one’s life. It finds itself above the
             profane, hidden in the material and is translated by a sentiment
             of respect and love for life. The sacred gives us the sense that we
             are participating in something that holds and understands us. It
             penetrates everything: life, others and things. There is no need
             to add the sacred to ourselves and to the world because it is
             already there. We must simply unveil it. We must reduce the ne-
             gative mental representations that screen it out.

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, we have accele-
rated individualization. But this could make us more isolated
and alienated. We have a tendency to replace the generous inte-
raction of individuals with mechanical, bureaucratic and tech-
nocratic relationships. Man is a social animal and a large part of
our evolution took place in a tribal context. Without restraining
autonomy and originality, we must, in this post-industrial so-
ciety, reinvent the tribal structures that human beings need. It
is necessary for the balance.

If we asked people what they would change in their lives, they
would say that they’d like to be more attentive to the rising and
setting of the sun, to the rhythm of the seasons, to their rela-
tionships with friends and family. But what is stopping us from
living that way in the here and now? We have plunged ourselves
into a state of sleep. We live like automatons. After infancy, our
ability to marvel rapidly dissolves. We need a shock to wake us
from our lethargic state. We have imprisoned ourselves with our
habits and lassitude. Profiting from life means we must be at-
tentive to everyday actions. We should not live in our own
minds, absorbed by the bombardment of words and emotions.

             These days, however, the idea of consuming and consumption
             prevades all of our economic discourse. Ecomonomic science
             has become centered around consumers and their habits of
             consumption. Credit has become a major engine of the econo-
             my. Advertising, too much choice, too many promotions – these
             are an essential part of our current state of being. We’re all vic-
             tims of the spoiled child syndrome. We have too much, and the-
             refore waste too much.

             The disposible reigns : pens, razors, etc…but it leads inveitably
             to planned obsolescence. What is “zapping” if not over-con-
             sumption of signs and images? Shopping centers have become
             cathedrals of the new religion. We try very, very hard to make
             shopping “fun”. What needs are all of this consumption meant
             to satisfy? Material needs, certainly, but more often psychologi-
             cal needs that have become unavoidable in an air of compulsive
             consumption whose battlecry is “to live is to consume!” Should
             we be happy about economic growth while the planet is getting
             more improvrished?

  • 3. GLOBO- Globologos is an oasis for free-roaming ideas, a gathering place where participants are invited to join a collective effort to build “du- rable creativity” that goes beyond the discourse of consumerism. LOGOS We live in an age of rapid growth for thinkers and philoso- phers. As ideas are pushed beyond their natural sphere, there is a need to rediscover their primary essence, and this innovative project transforms ideas back into fertile creative sparks. MANI- Globologos sets out to be a unifying force that brings together theories about the deeper meaning of life. As a tribute to the work of Jacques Languirand, this Web space features a range of concepts which were inspired by the FESTO philosopher’s 35 years of archives and documents, adapted by Jean-François Alain. The concepts are presented in the site to provoke debate. Moreover, since human interaction is integral to inspiration, the project will head to different events, such as Earth Day, where visitors will be ushered into an anti-boredom shelter – a veritable biosphere for cultivating curiosity. GLOBOLOGOS SetS Out tO Be In these polarizing locations where expression is not bound by images or verbs, the elastic potential of the Internet will a unifyinG fOrce that BrinGS jump-start visitors’ imaginations. Aboard Jacques’ cosmic uni- verse, visitors will travel through a virtual space and discover a landscape populated by 20 philosophical spheres.

Whether on stage, on air, on of outta- film, on paper or online, as in the case of globologos.com, on which he collaborated with Sid Lee. Reclining amid the lush greenery on the rooftop patio of his Westmount home/archive/studio, Languirand is too humble when sight he calls himself “a jack-of-all-trades, master of none.” This playwright, professor, essayist, broadcaster, actor and explorer of ideas, is a recipient of the Order of Canada. He took to radio at 18 while “in exile” in Paris in 1949, and since then has made his insights mark as a maverick intellect across the spectrum of print, broadcast and performance media in Quebec and Canada, among others, with his projects at the Expo 67 World Fair in Montreal. Since 1971, Languirand has hosted his radio show, Par 4 chemins, on Radio-Canada. Formerly a nightly fixture on French-language radio, it’s now a weekly, four-hour Sunday broadcast. Supplemented “i dOn’t want tO Give the impreSSiOn with musical moments, it’s an unhurried hike through a landscape of ideas, from the social to the ecological and on to the spiritual.

  • 7. ACTION we hOpe tO achieve a LeveL Of cOnSciOuSneSS that OpenS Our eyeS tO Our deep nature aS cO-creatOrS in the univerSaL Order. Though we have roles to play in the universe, the meaning of our actions is not found in the simple act of performing them. Rather, meaning lies in our desire to be more, to fulfill ourselves while existing. We hope to achieve a level of consciousness that opens our eyes to our deep nature as co-creators in the universal order. The level to which we participate in the co-creative act determines just how much we are truly alive. Each of us has to do our part in the world, no matter what our work may be. If we adopt this attitude, work will become a powerful means of ta- king control of our lives. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 12 - - 13 -
  • 8. ADAPTA- TION at timeS, we may reSiSt mO- vinG fOrward, But remaininG immOBiLe meanS acceptinG OnLy the iLLuSiOn Of BeinG near Our centre Of StaBiLity. Life means adapting to the changes that we are subjected at each moment. To go forward, we take each new step forward carefully, like tightrope walkers. We are all looking for our cen- tre of balance; everything else revolves around it. At times, we may resist moving forward, but remaining immobile means ac- cepting only the illusion of being near our centre of stability. If we resist change, we regress, we cease to exist. Harmony is not found by stopping, it is found by moving in rhythm to the chan- ges in our lives. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 14 - - 15 -
  • 9. AL- TRUISM the quaLity Of Our interac- tiOnS with OtherS and Our perSOnaL cOntriButiOn tO SOciety are determined By Our SeLf-eSteem. Human beings are social creatures. The quality of our interac- tions with others and our personal contribution to society are determined by our self-esteem. This feeling of interdependence is translated by a commitment to communication, a helping re- lation or our support of others. These undertakings will have beneficial effects on our mental and physical health. Thus, it is good to not only be prosperous, but to view ourselves as chan- nels for the prosperity of others.

  • 10. IT- ID in Our SOciety Of prOductiOn/ cOnSumptiOn, we Suffer frOm a ShriveLed id. thiS tranSLateS intO a fear Of LivinG. The Id is the instance of the personality and psyche. It expres- ses the vital energy that is controlled by stimulation, love, the exploration of the world and creativity. It’s also what predispo- ses us to take risks, to live passionately as if life was one big ad- venture. In our society of production/consumption, we suffer from a shriveled Id. This translates into a fear of living. Suppres- sing the vital energy condemns us to live a reduced, impove- rished life. And our growth is suspended. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 18 - - 19 -
  • 11. CONTEN- TEMENT we are nOw at a pOint where we cOnfuSe Our needS with Our deSireS. In our Western society, we are, for the most part, well beyond needing material goods for survival. We are now at a point where we confuse our needs with our desires. Some amongst us derive satisfaction from intellectual or personal development. We are satisfied and we passively resist all sensitive societal projects. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 20 - - 21 -

  • 13. CHRO- NOS the preSent SeemS tO eLude uS aS we are trapped in the paSt and fearfuL Of the future. In Greek mythology, Cronos and time are one and the same. He destroys his own creations, he devours his children. Thus, he is the image of time devouring us. The present seems to elude us as we are trapped in the past and fearful of the future. But if we discover the present moment, we will stop chasing after time and we will become more conscious of living. We will overcome our fear of silence, the void, and ourselves. We will exist in the now without living in the past and fleeing the future. We will exist in a moment of self. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 24 - - 25 -
  • 14. DISTOR- TION everythinG happenS aS if humanity SeekS tO OBScure itS naturaL dimenSiOn. From the time we developed culture as a means of evolution, we have rejected Nature as something foreign and obtrusive. Eve- rything happens as if humanity seeks to obscure its natural di- mension. Weighed down by cultural evolution, we have forgot- ten where we came from. We have become the only animal which willingly destroys its own habitat at the risk of being des- troyed in return!

In addition to letting destiny play a role in our lives, we must each be the Master of our Fate. This may seem contradictory, but we live in a world of dualities. We need to move on from a state of black and white – destiny vs. free will – to one where both exist complementarily. This is the middle way. We should not be tempted to explain the present by means of the past, but by way of the future, that is to say, the goal of our lives’ hunt. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 28 - - 29 -

Behind all success, whether spiritual or physical, material or im- material, lies a strong motivation which has been sustained through effort. Some of our habits are road blocks that never allow us to reach new heights of success, but we fear changing them. Our closest relations should encourage us to surpass our- selves, but often they hold us back. It takes effort to overcome our fear of ridicule in the eyes of others.

Hope allows us to avoid commitment, confrontation, and pro- blem-resolution in the here-and-now because the situation will, eventually, sort itself out. Hope is a procrastinator that says so- lutions to problems will be found outside of us and will not be dependent upon us. This allows us to justify and reinforce our powerlessness. We need to start displaying our determination more than our hope. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 34 - - 35 -

Mass society does not easily tolerate deviation from the norm and thus the majority of us give up our autonomy in order to conform. We adapt by submitting to conformity instead of by means of our actions. We must have the courage to destroy the collective being and give birth to the individual being. We must have the courage to be autonomous and different, to define our- selves outside of the norm. This will give us freedom. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 36 - - 37 -

When we go to the edge of our sanity, we explore all the possibi- lities that exist within us. Thus, we reveal to others and ourselves hither-to unrecognized aspects of our characters which otherwi- se would have escaped our consciousness. Each morning, we must water the fruits of naivety and look upon the world with new eyes. This will allow us to sustain life’s sacred flame. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 38 - - 39 -
  • 21. gaia humanS have fOrGOtten that their SurvivaL dependS On the quaLity Of their interactiOn with their envirOnment! Survival on this planet means a species must integrate itself into its ecosystem and live in balance with other species. Humans have forgotten that their survival depends on the quality of their interaction with their environment! Humanity has disrupted the fragile balance that ensures its own survival. No other spe- cies has been as harmful as ours; we say with good reason that the earth is “infested” by humans! GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 40 - - 41 -
  • 22. HUMA- NITY fOr when aLL iS Said and dOne, what matterS haS happened On an inStinctuaL, SpirituaL and inteLLectuaL LeveL. We are different from one another, but human nature is the same for everyone. We have known the same childhood fears, the same anguishes. We have dreamt the same dreams, nurtured the same hopes, known the same deceptions. It doesn’t matter which particular circumstances or experiences each of us has had. For when all is said and done, what matters has happened on an instinctual, spiritual and intellectual level. The fundamen- tal needs are the same for everyone: security, stimulation, iden- tity. We have much more in common than we think, despite our tendency to think we are unique. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 42 - - 43 -

If we listen with complacency, we will end up feeling detached from the world. We are social animals and the investment of an individual in the community, in one form or another, is not only a factor for happiness, but also for balance. If the world isn’t working properly, it is due to the fact that a large number of individuals, often among the elite, invest a large part of their energy in narcissistic endeavours, thus depriving the world of a contribution to the community’s well-being. Misunderstood selfhood, that is to say narcissism and egocentricity, accentuates the paranoid tendency of perceiving ourselves as victims and we stagnate in our experiences.

  • 25. PHILO- SOPHY we ShOuLd Seek Out meaninG, a Better underStandinG Of human nature, and the way the wOrLd wOrkS. Philosophizing is a vital part of life, like eating or drinking. Our experiences in life need to be explained and the unfathomable human nature needs to be reflected upon. In the beginning, we are sleeping, living in a dream. Little by little we gain consciousness, taking on roles as both actor and witness in the dream. Consciousness – a poisoned gift – comes with an existen- tial anxiety, a motor for philosophical questioning. We should seek out meaning, a better understanding of human nature, and the way the world works. In other words, we must search for ourselves in the world. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 48 - - 49 -
  • 26. SACRED the Sacred GiveS uS the SenSe that we are participatinG in SOmethinG that hOLdS and underStandS uS. It’s the feeling of the sacred that gives life the most meaning. Without it, suffering, trials and obstacles wouldn’t make any sense. More so, the sacred does not necessarily mean religious faith, but the intuition into one’s life. It finds itself above the profane, hidden in the material and is translated by a sentiment of respect and love for life. The sacred gives us the sense that we are participating in something that holds and understands us. It penetrates everything: life, others and things. There is no need to add the sacred to ourselves and to the world because it is already there. We must simply unveil it. We must reduce the ne- gative mental representations that screen it out.

But this could make us more isolated and alienated. We have a tendency to replace the generous inte- raction of individuals with mechanical, bureaucratic and tech- nocratic relationships. Man is a social animal and a large part of our evolution took place in a tribal context. Without restraining autonomy and originality, we must, in this post-industrial so- ciety, reinvent the tribal structures that human beings need. It is necessary for the balance.

If we asked people what they would change in their lives, they would say that they’d like to be more attentive to the rising and setting of the sun, to the rhythm of the seasons, to their rela- tionships with friends and family. But what is stopping us from living that way in the here and now? We have plunged ourselves into a state of sleep. We live like automatons. After infancy, our ability to marvel rapidly dissolves. We need a shock to wake us from our lethargic state. We have imprisoned ourselves with our habits and lassitude. Profiting from life means we must be at- tentive to everyday actions. We should not live in our own minds, absorbed by the bombardment of words and emotions. GLOBOLOGOS GLOBOLOGOS - 54 - - 55 -

These days, however, the idea of consuming and consumption prevades all of our economic discourse. Ecomonomic science has become centered around consumers and their habits of consumption. Credit has become a major engine of the econo- my. Advertising, too much choice, too many promotions – these are an essential part of our current state of being. We’re all vic- tims of the spoiled child syndrome. We have too much, and the- refore waste too much. The disposible reigns : pens, razors, etc…but it leads inveitably to planned obsolescence. What is “zapping” if not over-con- sumption of signs and images? Shopping centers have become cathedrals of the new religion. We try very, very hard to make shopping “fun”. What needs are all of this consumption meant to satisfy? Material needs, certainly, but more often psychologi- cal needs that have become unavoidable in an air of compulsive consumption whose battlecry is “to live is to consume!” Should we be happy about economic growth while the planet is getting more improvrished?
