A proposito di questo titolo
Swiss physician Johannes Hofer coined the term Nostalgia in his 1688 medical dissertation, from the Greek nostos, or homecoming, and algos, or pain. The disease was similar to paranoia, except the sufferer was manic with longing, and feelings of anxiety and emptiness. It was considered similar in diagnosis to melancholy, except specifically directed to an object or place.

In the context of our modern dilemma Nostalgia could be defined as looking at the past, pining for simpler happier times, and believing our origins hold the truth to escaping the dangers of the present. Its antithesis is Futurism which attempts to look idealistically towards the possibilities of the future assuming it holds the truth to escape the dangers of the present.

Should we as a species hold at revolt against the conspiracy to destroy the humility that comes from being a frail creature made in HIS image and go back to a simpler easier way? Or Is the solution to SMASH our preconceived notions of what is to be human and strive for a new form more capable of addressing the problems we face as a species?

Join us for episode 6 of The Richest Family, Retrogressive Nostalgia and Utopian Futurism where we discuss Longing for the past, idealizing the future, and the transhuman myth.
