Synopsis "La Vida no es Util (in Spanish)"

'Ailton Krenak, filósofo, chaman indígena y una de las voces más reveladoras del pensamiento latinoamericano contemporáneo, sostiene que despertar del coma de la modernidad es despertar a la posibilidad de volver a sumergirse en el sentido cósmico de la vida. A través del proyecto occidental moderno, hemos masacrado la Tierra, la hemos .desgarrado., la hemos arrasado, y con ella, a nosotros mismos. Recuperar el sentido cósmico de la vida es recordar que .la vida se mueve a través de todo. .piedras, montañas, ríos, plantas, animales, insectos, antepasados. y que la vida es .atravesar el organismo vivo del planeta a escala inmaterial.. La vida no consiste en lo que somos capaces de planificar y organizar en un calendario, tampoco en trabajar lo suficiente para poder descansar, ni en convertirse en una persona realizada con una educación certificada y un gran salario. La vida, para Ailton, es sostener el tejido que conecta a los seres visibles e invisibles de este cosmos. Un tejido violentado desde hace demasiado tiempo y que nos demanda, de forma urgente, que nos involucremos; porque .la vida es trascendencia. y no puede hacerse útil dentro de la ligica utilitaria de la habitabilidad colonial del planeta.'

A key figure in the defense of indigenous rights in Brazil, he actively participated in the Constituent Assembly of 1988 and founded organizations such as the Union of Indigenous Nations and the Alliance of the Peoples of the Forest.
