At the Crossroads of a New End of History

While the future of the European continent remains uncertain, due to the Russia's invasion of Ukraine, financed by fossil fuels, why not open a window towards a new and renewable and more sustainable "end of history", fuelled by clean energies? A picnic held on 19 August 1989, unleashed a domino effect, which made it possible for transnational investments, infrastructure, and logistics to tear up and cross the iron curtain. Check my article titled "Travessias ao Fim da História" ("At the Crossroads of a New End of History", in its English version) to see how Mercosur and the EU could join forces to develop green hydrogen and cross the "water curtains" towards the Pacific and into a new "end of history" for humanity. By doing so, that long-lost positive momentum would be regained, through big investments for bi-regional cross-border cooperation in subnational entities separated by the "water curtains". This prophetic article, published even before that invasion, is on page 3 of Diário Indústria e Comércio, top business newspaper of Paraná: https://www.diarioinduscom.com.br/Edicao_Online/896/12_08_2021

Nós os Paranaenses, especialmente os que vivemos aqui em nossa tríplice fronteira entre Argentina Brasil e Paraguay, jamais devemos nos esquecer que nascemos para estar UNIDOS para sempre a essa maravilhosa terra trinacional que irmana todos os povos. Pois: UNIDOS SOMOS +IGUASSU . https://www.facebook.com/141150315963760/posts/1655552437856866/

Inspired by Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, 30 years ago, U2 also opened its own Berlin Trilogy (Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop) with "Zoo Station". Now, we could have "MercoZoo", where you could "dream out load" and "Be?All That You Can Be". Check out, in the following link, my friend Nilso's interview to an Iguazú radio station (IguaZoo Station), regarding the implementation of a trinational green & smart metropolis: https://radioiguazu.com/nilso-rafagnin-hablo-en-radio-yguazu-sobre-una-propuesta-de-implementacion-de-un-modelo-de-metropolis-trinacional-verde-e-inteligente/ After the cold war, we crossed Europe's iron curtain. Now, for economic recovery, in a post-coal world, it's time for big investments to start crossing Mercosur's water curtains into a new "end of history" for the world, where a show for humanity could begin.
