    I love this. L-O-V-E this. I was wondering how you would structure these videos and how you would explain what goes on at this festival, and you did it so well! The 22 minutes not only went by very fast, but you made me feel like I was there in some way...and I still feel would like to have been there.
    I love the idea of this cultural festival so much...the fact that one festival can feature such a wide array of important, interesting, humanistic topics is something that I can't get out of my head- it seems like a minor miracle. I looked it up, and Udine has a population of a little over 100,000. The fact that a small town can and actively tries to (and succeeds) attract experts in all these different fields, and brings them together to talk about the state of the world, is amazing to me. I think I love it so much because it fits totally with my view of how all of us - individually and in the communities we live in - should exist: always looking outside, beyond our little bubble, actively interested in other peoples and other cultures, and always trying to elevate our cultural consciousness, rather than remaining provincial and narrow-minded, which is a mentality that I reject completely. It's a great credit to your home town that it hosts such an incredible event. (I used to live in a town with a similar population, and it never came close to organizing an event like this.) I happily look forward to the rest of this series. Congratulazioni Udine! And to you, Mary Jane.

      I was looking forward to your reaction Jorge and I'm very happy I didn't disappoint you. Yes, I can say with a little pride that it's a great credit for such a small sized city to organize something like this and make it last for nineteen years. Especially because Udine also suffers of provincialism and close mindedness (much more than you'd think watching this probably) so we really shouldn't give vicino/lontano for granted. Thanks for letting me know your opinion on the video!

    Non l'ho visto tutto per il momento ma come spesso accade ho visto molta retorica da filosofi ma peccano un po di realismo.
    Per esempio: dare la colpa alla mancata "transizione green" alle banche ecc quando chi ha chiesto al governo di cercare più gas e immetterlo nel mercato perché le bollette della luce stavano diventando troppo costose siamo stati noi (la grande massa del ceto medio)
    Poi il solito minestrone riscaldato del maschio bianco eterosessuale come causa di tutti i mali ma se guardi per esempio cosa fanno i governi e privati asiatici o africani ci rendiamo conto che sono molto più dannosi

    Wonderful to see you again Mary... I was starting to miss your presence here on UA-cam, so it was a nice surprise to finally get a video from you!.
    I note that this video was shot already a month ago now, and that this is just the first of a series of related topics regarding this event, so I assume that you've been doing your homework on getting this out to your critical level of satisfaction (though it's not a Mary Jane video without the unexpected happening in the background!... but I love those moments too!).
    As for the subject matter... it is really of some importance to understand the mechanisms at work which guide us to an uncertain future.
    What we can do about that, is another matter again, but to go into that understanding with our eyes open, is really imperative I feel, and it's very important to raise awareness of this undercurrent happening.
    We sometimes hear the phrase... sleepwalking into the future... and I know I've been guilty of doing this myself... so I always try to pay attention, because these things are usually quite subversive, and never obvious to the average citizens immediate concerns.
    Thank you for boiling it down for us, because it takes a lot of collective awareness to assemble those facts, and it's to our own detriment if we choose to ignore it!.

    Brilliant video presentation. I feel like I have a million things to say about it because my mind is racing. What Jorge said, I'm surprised how organized this festival was for a small city like Udine and it says a lot about the people in that region. I also felt like I was there and I feel like I know Udine a little bit better due to your intro edit with breathtaking aerial shots and your walking/talking. I do recommend a book that towards the end made me cry profuse tears at work, its called Tools for Conviviality by Ivan Illich.

    Honestly most people just want to argue for argument sake. I don’t really care about politics much unless it affects me directly like the whole Disney situation and how bad Florida is doing because of do nothing Desantis. Locally it’s pretty quiet with minor arguments about building this or that. We do also try to understand about crime rates. I tend to stay out of the drag show talk and how sexuality is being politicized because I don’t really have much to say on it plus it’s their choice.

    Jane, do you speak Friulian in your hometown and how do you Italians preserve your regional dialects for so many centuries now? 34 of them! ❤

    • @WhatashameMaryJane
      @WhatashameMaryJane  Рік тому +1

      This is a painful topic for us Italians unfortunately. With the italianization of our country on one side and its americanization on the other there is little space left for our regional languages. There are many of us who try to claim more space for them though and I'm definitely one of them. For example very recently in Friuli there has been set up some funding for tv programs in our language, and I'm happy to have contributed to one of them, called K.D. Mont.

      @@WhatashameMaryJane As a Romance language enthusiast myself, that's very sad to know. Istriot and Istro-Romanian are spoken by only a few hundred people nowadays. In a few decades, they'll be gone forever. We sadly lost Dalmation language with its last speaker, Tuone Udaina in 1898. 😪

    Another great video Mary Jane. I know how much work these videos are to produce - not to mention the brain power involved! If everyone was willing to invest as much mental energy into solving the world's problems and figuring out how to live together as you do, the world would be a MUCH better place. Thanks for your work, and for caring.
    It seems to me that all war - at least in the modern era - is over land. There seems to be a need for humans to exert control over land, and it's got nothing to do with wanting to provide a happy, fulfilling life for the land's inhabitants.

    This event is wonderful, I believe it used to be fairly common for people to discuss and debate ideas in town halls but usually issues of a local nature. Not so common these days. It’s nice to see.
    Technology is certainly metamorphosing power, take the taxi business, all over the world power in the taxi trade was held by the taxi operator who took the work and told his or her drivers what to do and when. They could be generous or mean with the work, drivers had to do as they were told. Uber has taken power away from these companies overnight and in many ways handed it to the drivers who can now pick and choose their work - no angry bosses. Uber has also clashed with the state who traditionally had more power over taxi operators and drivers, licensing and regulating them. Uber has a whole Wikipedia page about its controversies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_involving_Uber I personally believe state regulation in the taxi business is critical to the extent that it safeguards people and stops the funnelling of money away from the local economy, however I can also appreciate the latter is probably impossible. However the state could simply ban uber and introduce a similar technology that is sanctioned, and the effect on the traditional taxi operators would be the same, undermining their power to dictate.
    I can’t help but wonder at the technologies that haven’t been invented yet that will radically shift power, always with both good and bad consequences.
