When a newspaper organizes a debate on moral philosophy, such as the Dialogues held by the ARA in Pedralbes, there is a sharp contrast in speed. The newspaper moves quickly, while the dialogue takes time. Current events take us from here to there, while the debate dwells deeply on an idea. Readers arrive with information and leave having transformed it into knowledge.

To create or to imagine, you need time, but where is that time? How do we find it in an age of precariousness and in which more and more bureaucratic tasks accumulate, which new technologies do not facilitate but rather increase even more? "Those of us who dedicate ourselves to cultural work have less and less time to do creative work, because we have to dedicate many hours to bureaucracy, and there is a growing disaffection with our work," reflects the writer and essayist Remedios Zafra (Zuheros, Córdoba, 1973). "AI does the most beautiful work, like writing poems, and I have to dedicate myself to making invoices," adds the author of'Enthusiasm. Precariousness and creative work in the digital age' and Fragile. Letter on Anxiety and Hope in the New Culture, both published by Anagrama. Zafra, who participated in the cycle What is a good life?, organized in collaboration with the ARA (Argentine Association of Cultural Heritage), under the intellectual direction of philosopher Daniel Gamper and moderated by Antoni Bassas, reflected on bureaucratic burdens, lack of time, and precariousness among those dedicated to culture and creativity. Zafra not only spoke of problems, but proposed possible solutions. She offered hope.
