Natasha Tsakos is a conceptual director, idea generator and magnificent performer. Below are her candid thoughts.
REGARDING SCHOOLS:
One day, children will design and build their own schools,
developing craftsmanship, understanding responsibility, and
learning how to apply the disciplines of: architecture, masonry,
carpentry and biology. Once built, Children will explore ethereal
studies such as literature, philosophy, history. Schools will be roofless,
opening a conscious awareness to nature, and facilitating the study of
meteorology and astronomy at night.
REGARDING EDUCATION:
Nobody will tell you what or how to think,
instead will give you the tools to enhance
and expand your mental potential.
You will prove the box is round with knowledge,
imagination, audacity and with the mind of an explorer.
REGARDING RULES AND GOVERNMENT:
We will assume responsibility for our
actions, and will not be told what to do.
REGARDING RACE, CULTURE, AND GENDER:
Are not the defining factor of who we are.
Simply a trait. Like the color of one’s hair.
REGARDING BORDERS:
We are the new interwebbed generation.
Manmade borders are artificial and illusory.
REGARDING THEATER
(this regard may be particularly personal and biased)
Is a high form of communication that transcends
language, and should be used to communicate
high concepts and ideas in an entertaining way.
REGARDING ART:
Is a trajectory where the arrival is experienced by the spectator.
REGARDING SPACE:
Should be explored with great care, and occupied
once humans have become intelligent, naturally
responsible and socially aware. Like having babies
REGARDING BABIES:
see regarding space
REGARDING ANIMALS:
The greatest feats of science are made possible
by studying animals’ advanced built-in capabilities.
It is therefore curious we should treat them as pets,
or question their equal or perhaps above human intelligence
REGARDING OWNING PETS:
another form of slavery,
as loving as the relationship may be.
REGARDING BASIC NECESSITIES:
Water, Organic Food, and Land will be free.
Humans will pay for their superficial needs, only.
REGARDING WORK:
The notion of work will become obsolete ,
as computers will undertake all of man’ redundant labor,
leaving time for man to explore a deeper potential.
REGARDING MASSES:
There is power in the act of synchronizing positive intentions
and actions i.e: purchasing bicycles, switching to alternative
energy sources, etc. There is danger in adopting any group’s
belief out of pressure, fashion, or loneliness without being
fully informed.
REGARDING INSTITUTIONS:
Will not have roofs, and will re-question their purpose
and practice frequently.
REGARDING DOMESTIC APPLIANCES:
Choose what you accept in your daily life
carefully. Beware of what you consume
and accept as a harmless, and practical
domestic tool.
REGARDING SPORTS AND MENTAL GYMNASTICS:
We will find an equilibrium between the body’s
flexibility and the that of the mind. The Greeks
understood that concept 2800 years ago.
REGARDING COMMUNICATION:
Be meaningful.
REGARDING GOSSIPS:
Are for the weak of character.
REGARDING BELIEFS:
Beliefs are only points of view
capturing an immediate impression.
REGARDING CIRCUSES: (without animals)
Experience it at least once in your lifetime.
REGARDING LAUGHTER:
Should be practiced more often.
Working out would then become trivial.
REGARDING THE ABSOLUTE:
One should be opened to change,
and abandon old beliefs.
REGARDING DEATH:
Let’s not fear what we don’t know.
REGARDING FEAR:
Unnecessary.
REGARDING ANGER:
Let it go. It is temporary, futile and absurd.
REGARDING LIFE:
We will not talk about it, but live it.
REGARDING US:
There are 13.3 billion eyes on this planet.
What do we see?
REGARDING ALL LIVING THINGS:
vegetal, mineral, animal or micro-macro scopical.
They live.
REGARDING ZOOS:
If we wish to observe animals, we should do so in
their natural environment.
REGARDING ARCHITECTURE:
We will build intelligently, using the smart resources,
innovations and technology THEN and NOW and available.
Building to build is dumb and a cumulus of future problems.
BUILD INTELLIGENCE.
BUILD INTELLIGENTLY
AND CONSTRUCT
DE CONSTRUCTIVELY
IN ORDER TO RECONSTRUCT
A Modern Society.
REGARDING EVERYTHING ELSE:
To be discovered with Care, Passion, and Time.
REGARDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE/ROBOTS:
It will only be as artificial as humans themselves./They will be our intellectual children and even now and more so in the future they will inhabit the environs beyond our reach and carry our legacy to the stars.
