Oops, I did it again.
Proud (and a little nervous) to share my letter in today’s Financial Times.
Last week in Crete, I discussed morality with philosophers. Left pessimistic about where we are, but hopeful about where we could be.
Then I read how tech elites and populists are eroding the rule of law. My mind jumped to Alessandro Michele at Gucci and his work with philosopher Emanuele Coccia on fashion as re-enchantment and freedom.
If fashion can invent new possibilities, why not democracy? Why not our shared life together?
If we don’t strive for justice, equality, beauty, harmony - what the heck are we striving for? What are we living for? Hopefully not for more likes or more stuff.
I often hesitate to share thoughts like these. But these times call for courage.
