INTERVIEW, PART 1 || Today we have created a society in which falsehood itself 'becomes a modern lie' — and even now liars 'believe that their lie is the truth'. This is what a philosopher says, and from that razor-sharp remark he unfolds a map of the present (and what lies ahead) without embellishment: a world in which we invent and deploy technology faster than we can govern it, a Europe that was born as a political promise of peace and that so often became a machine of rules, wars that reshuffle alliances and spread shocks, the climate as a limit.

Context & Explainers
Sustainability (sustentabilidade) means meeting present needs without reducing the ability of future generations to meet theirs, covering environmental, economic and social dimensions. For residents it affects local planning, jobs and services—look for municipal or company targets, timelines and measurable actions when assessing how sustainable a place or employer is.
