00:00 plastic use, artificial sugar, video games, all that,

00:04 we must have given it.

00:05 A few weeks ago at the office, we received this book,

00:07 "Le Monde, mode d'emploi" by Jacques Attali.

00:10 Jacques Attali, for those who don't know,

00:12 is the one who whispers in the ears of the powerful.

00:14 He worked with François Mitterrand,

00:16 François Hollande or Emmanuel Macron.

00:18 He's not a prophet, he's a writer,

00:20 but he's a person we listen to.

00:22 In this book, he explains to us what might happen

00:25 in the next 30 years if we don't change,

00:28 we were able to talk to him about it.

00:29 "Le Monde, mode d'emploi", if we read it, we're afraid.

00:32 But because I say, "This is what happens if we don't do anything."

00:34 Because half of the book is dedicated to

00:36 what will happen between 2030, 2023 and 2050,

00:40 if we don't do anything.

00:41 You're a kind of Cassandre

00:43 that we want to contradict.

00:45 I'd like to.

00:46 I write it to create the conditions to be wrong.

00:49 I give solutions and I dream of helping,

00:52 modestly by my work,

00:54 to awaken enough consciousness

00:56 so that the most black predictions

00:58 that we can make don't come true.

01:00 Do you feel that you and I have grown up in a world

01:03 in which our children will not be able to grow up?

01:05 There will be a lot of things that will remain,

01:07 but we could also live much better

01:09 by giving up things from the past.

01:11 If they live without cars,

01:13 without fast fashion,

01:14 without video games,

01:16 without artificial sugar,

01:17 without tobacco, without drugs, all the better.

01:19 I have two little girls, what would you tell them?

01:21 I would tell them to be curious,

01:23 to have the "niak", the will, the energy.

01:26 And I would tell them to try to understand,

01:29 to feel in you the extraordinary pleasure of being useful.

01:32 "Useful", it can be many different things.

01:35 It can be useful in the sense of making more money.

01:38 No, no.

01:39 It can be useful in the sense of being useful for oneself.

01:42 It's good, but it's not enough.

01:43 You have to be useful for others too,

01:45 useful for those who are not yet born.

01:47 Take a baker.

01:48 If he manages to get customers to tell him,

01:52 "It's great and it's very good what you've done."

01:54 He finds pleasure in himself.

01:56 So you have to discover the extreme pleasure

01:59 that you can have in being altruistic.

02:01 You always have to have two children by your side,

02:04 the one you were at 10 years old and your grandson.

02:07 And always act thinking about what I thought when I was 10 years old

02:11 and what I do useful for my grandson.

02:13 Always act in the interest of your daughters

02:17 when they are 20 or 30 years old.
