Anticipation & Madness

Zoom Moot 4

“Only those who jumped on Messianic bandwagons, religious and secular… burned themselves out in taking the messianic risk” — Jacob Taubes

Hope is a necessary but dangerous thing.

How to reach toward transformed futures without becoming exhausted, madly fixated, or disconnected from the rich complexity of the present?

On the other hand, how then to be at peace in the present, without falling into privileged indifference toward its iniquitous power structures and disastrous momentum?

In the fourth Zoom Moot, we'll be exploring various postures of anticipation, from the reckless to the dull, and much in between.
