LECTURES
Computers - the electronic sucking bottle
They say computers are simple. Why, then, is it so easy to get lost in a help menu? A lecture in which Carsten Graff stimulates your operating laughter system with his ironical grip on info-fascination. About infogoholism, cyberpsychosis and internet-disturbance. About not spending all your time saving time by using time-consuming timesaving technology.
Ignorance, wonder and personal development
Al true progress comes from ignorance and the sense of wondering. So why are no schools teaching the art of ignorance? Carsten Graff followed an expedition of scientist who traveled through the Amazon jungle doing research in quality of life. While the researchers researched the jungle, Carsten Graff researched the researchers. A humorous lecture about discovering what man is incapable of thinking - about the difference between religion and science - knowledge and information - quality and life.
Life as an experiment
For a human to develop takes more than words. A series of spectacular anecdotes about growing from being young, criminal, shy and dyslectic into making big business from writing and doing lectures. About turning everything upside down about turning your weaknesses into strengths, rehearsing the art of wasting your time, write books about not reading books and about improvising your life from day to day and about breaking the habits of thought.
Relationships: A fulltime job
How come not even top trained elite soldiers or highly educated psychologists can be guaranteed to succeed in relationships? Based on stories about personal experience with closeness and absence, Graff in this lecture talks bout the relationships as the ultimate challenge in any persons life. A challenge so big that it is abandoned as a subject in schools and universities. Graff has made his relationship a full time job - everything else is second to this.
About improvisation
In his lectures Carsten Graff will not use a manuscript. The titles above are merely suggestions. Graff improvises freely and happily on any keyword or on suggested themes, such as: Thinking beyond habits, translating philosophy into action, wasting time instead of saving it, the art of being unpopular, the philosophy of handwriting, about his music, about life or death or about how you do not actually get one bit wiser by sitting passively in chair listening to a lecture.
