Welcome, friend and friend to mobile history. My name is Juan Jesús Pleguezuelo.
0:05
I am a professor of high school history and I am the sea of
0:10
content and happy to be in this special episode. I will present it my
0:14
new book entitled Looking for Utopia Look In this postcas I have tried three things
0:23
in the one hundred and fifty or one hundred and forty- nine episodes that
0:26
I carry I no longer remember. Tried three functions, three targets. The
0:30
first has been to entertain, to make a pleasant time, enough problems we
0:37
already have every one of our lives worth and I have always had the dream
0:42
and the illusion of creating an episode that distracts people, an episode that,
0:48
when people hear it, feels calm, feels accompanied feels at ease. I
0:54
have always been a lover of the radio and I remember always said it,
0:59
not my dearest and beloved Juan Antonio Cebrián, may I rest in peace,
1:03
when I heard this man in the rose of the winds, I felt tranquility,
1:07
I felt an absolute tranquility and I have always dreamed that creating a radio
1:14
program, because it believes that same effect, that same sensation that I had
1:19
when I listened to that program. Then my first goal has always been with
1:22
this program to entertain, to pass and to have a good time. Hey,
1:26
that' s important, too. Milk, that' s also important
1:30
or or the most important devil. And a second goal I have had with
1:37
this postcast is to encourage rational thinking. We live in a time. I
1:42
' ve been saying it for years that obscurantism returns, fanaticism returns, magical
1:49
thinking returns, superstitious thinking returns And a new illustration is required. I have
1:59
tried that this postcas goes in that line, that in this podcast the use
2:01
of logical thought, the use of rational thought is advocated. I' ve
2:06
been trying to make this postcat a space for all those people who go along
2:12
that line, who want to reject, who want to abhor that superstitious and
2:16
radical thinking they want to impose on us. And that also tried with this
2:20
postca to foster rational thinking in the line proposed by the illustration. And the
2:25
third goal he proposed that he wanted with this postca was to demonstrate and make
2:32
it clear that the human being is capable of the worst, but also capable
2:37
of the best. Being human is also able to build great things on the
2:43
basis of love and forgiveness. The human being is able, when proposed,
2:47
to overcome great challenges. The human being is able to overcome the greatest of
2:53
difficulties, such as the humanist, as the humanism of rebirth, who considered
3:00
the human being the most beautiful that nature has created, the most beautiful that
3:05
God has created. So I see it and so I have tried to prove
3:07
in this postcas that human beings are also able to create great things, that
3:15
they are also able to create great prosperous societies, rich societies, societies where
3:20
everyone can achieve their dream. The human being has achieved it throughout history.
3:24
I have tried to prove it in this few episodes, especially in some specific
3:30
episodes, when the case was given, I tried to emphasize that because yes
3:36
yes, that the human being also is able to apear. There are great
3:40
crimes, but he' s capable of the best. Milk must be said,
3:44
and in this podcast I have tried and my book, looking for utopias,
3:49
you can give them I can already realize what is going on in this
3:53
book. A teacher and his students review the moments of history in which society,
4:00
humanity, has managed to build rich and rich and prosperous societies. We
4:08
review in this book those moments in which, at those moments in history,
4:12
from which we have constructed what we could qualify in perspectives as utopias, we
4:17
say that utopia is so perfect that there is no good. So if we
4:24
look to bring history, we see things, we see events, we see
4:28
societies that you say, but how can it be? But how can that
4:30
be? Let this be possible. Well, it was possible. History teaches
4:33
that it is possible. This is how the book is subtitled looking for utopias.
4:39
History teaches that it is possible. We have examples throughout the history that
4:43
demonstrate it and in the book looking for utopias we review some episodes of history
4:50
that we have already discussed in this podcast and on which we have reflected.
4:57
We reflected, for example, on that Paris of Fins So of the 19th
5:00
century in which the impressionists lived and was an artist. You had to go
5:03
to Paris, that is, how wonderful it had to be that Paris of
5:09
the late nineteenth century, that way they were walking down Monnet Street, Sang
5:14
Gaugen Mannetse and so many others, both Toulus lu three. So good,
5:17
I' ve left a lot, a lot of geniuses that stumbled down the
5:20
street, that were left for coffee, that looked together and chatted. We
5:27
reviewed, for example, the New York of the 20th century. How could
5:30
it be built, that wonder of a city, that modern wonder of those
5:34
20th century athens, on a small island as Manhattan is. We talk,
5:41
for example, about Berlin is how it may be that good, or Germany
5:46
that how it happens is that it separates and unites and builds the richest society
5:49
in the history of the Ruenda case and so much and so many cases that
5:53
we have dealt with in this few cases as we treat them in the Book
5:57
Irreflect. We reflect on what they did in those societies to overcome great challenges,
6:03
what they did in those societies to build, to build rich and prosperous
6:09
societies. What did those people do? We reflect on those episodes in history
6:13
and try to draw lessons. There' s the key. We try to
6:18
draw lessons from those episodes in history to see if these lessons can serve us
6:24
the moment we are living. We live a super complex moment, a moment
6:29
of uncertainty, a moment in which we have signs that everything may be falling
6:33
apart. Therefore, it is time to look back and see what they have
6:39
done, what our ancestors have done well to try to draw lessons and perhaps
6:45
apply them to the present. That' s what this book is about.
6:49
It is not what is said about studying history in order not to make the
6:54
same mistakes. It' s not about that, because well, what worked
6:57
in the past doesn' t have to work now. For a thousand riots.
7:00
But if we can reflect on what was done right in the past and
7:04
try to extract clues, try to reflect and maybe, out there we can
7:11
draw patterns that can serve us in the present. In the book I analyze
7:16
the great challenges of today, the great problems of today and for each problem
7:25
I seek a solution. In the past. I point out five problems that
7:30
we have today, five major challenges that we have to overcome and for each
7:34
of those challenges I look in history for what has been done in the past
7:41
to try to overcome that challenge in similar or similar situations. Also, in
7:45
the book I am also telling, because, of course, I could not
7:49
resist telling anecdotes, stories, adventures that one has lived throughout his career as
7:56
a teacher, because, well, you already know that as a teacher you
7:59
happen many things and they give you to tell enough stories. But I also
8:05
tell anecdotes and experiences that are in the book. And it' s that,
8:09
well, education is also a way out of education. Love in education
8:13
is also a way out of great challenges. And that' s where the
8:20
focus should be. As I was saying, we live at a difficult time.
8:24
It' s a difficult time and I hope with this book to put
8:28
my bit of sand? I hope with this book I put my bit of
8:31
sand? And why do we have to fight? Do we have to fight?
8:33
We can' t give up. Can' t we just give up?
8:37
And I' m here, in my field, on my social networks,
8:43
with my book, I' m going to do what I can.
8:43
I' ll do what I can. And here' s this book.
8:46
And here' s this book to try and throw, clues, to accommodate
8:52
some light on where we should and can walk. You don' t have
8:58
to give up. That' s why I' m asking you here,
9:01
I' m asking you for support to protect East project. That book,
9:07
well, it' s been gleaning in my mind for years, since before
9:09
the pandemic, I had already thought about it and after the pandemic it made
9:13
more sense than ever. After how it got complicated. After the pandemic,
9:16
this book became more meaningful than ever and had to be done. It had
9:20
to be published and you already have it available on Amazon. I' ll
9:22
leave you the link. I' ll leave you the link in the program
9:26
notes. And if you want to help me, if you buy it,
9:33
well, if you buy it, it' s already helping me. Okay.
9:35
But if after I bought it, I want to help out more a
9:41
little favor and leave me a positive comment on Amazon, because that' s
9:46
going to help me a lot. That is, positive comments always encourage those
9:52
who are hesitant to buy it. Therefore, if you read it as I
9:54
know, if you imagine that ten people read it and then have not left
9:58
ten positive comments, they will certainly encourage the one who is doubtful. So,
10:03
if you want to give me a hand that buys the book, you
10:07
' re already doing it, because there' s other ways. Leaving me
10:09
a five- star rating and a positive commentary on this book. It is
10:13
available on Amazon. I remember, it is available in Amazon point to that
10:18
headline looking for utopias and I leave you the link in the notes of the
10:22
program And I tell you only that I am very happy, that I am
10:30
very happy to start this project that I had very excited and that I feel
10:35
super happy And that is and that I love you a lot and that is,
10:39
that I hope you enjoy the book and see us already if in the
10:43
next episode, that will be of history a huge hug
