POLITICS

JANUARY 22

SUMMARY

Matías’ text addresses the evolution of political systems throughout history and proposes a reflection on the future of politics. In essence, he suggests that the politics of the future should be based on Humanism, where politicians act as humanists offering options and tools to people rather than representing ideologies or parties. It emphasizes the importance of each individual governing themselves and recognizing the responsibility to build a conscious society free from ideological prejudices. Ultimately, the text encourages looking toward the horizon of one’s own consciousness and embarking on a journey of self-discovery and self-governance.

QUOTE
