Not any guy, our very own Didier Raoult. Unethical, gross, money hoarding, conspirationist and overall public danger Didier Raoult.

Oh my dear Baruch, what did they do to you…

Someone lost his way on the road to 9gag. You’re going to dislike this place soon enough.

Thanks for sharing, I like this one!

That’s very true, yes. And non-inherent hardly means “weak” or “inefficient”.

Indeed, I do think the same. What I have trouble understanding, and even with close friends, is how “no inherent meaning to existence” seems to quickly become, in some cases, “no meaning to existence”. I always tend to think this slide tends to exclude another possibility. A non-inherent meaning.

Why not neither?

Indeed!

I’m not qualified enough to approve or contest this statement, but I know for a /phisicistsfact that there was a time when great mathematicians were also great philosophers and they couldn’t conceive doing one without the other (Leibnitz or Descartes, among many others). Why I changed and exactly how, I don’t know, but I find it interesting.

Meh. Natural sciences and philosophy/methaphisics are quite closer/more intimately linked than you seem to think.

New meme template just dropped

That’s an optimistic answer. But I’ll take it. There’s not much optimism around lately.

I’m not sure what your argument is. I’ve been working with pedophiles for 10+ years in the past. I’m curious about how society creates and identifies its “monsters”, that’s all. Not sure you’re on topic.

Maybe that’s the reason. At least that’s what I tend to think. But at the same time, it the rise of pedophilia to the prime type of deviancy looks quite… recent, if I may say? So something is society may have changed in the last decades/century to make it so?

Food for thought indeed, thanks.

Honestly, I’ll vote for them. But they disgust me with all their power struggle about who’s going to be prime minister. In doing so, they’re tearing apart the whole thing. They swore that they wouldn’t betray us. They’re betraying us everyday by showing everybody it’s just a struggle between egos. They’re paving the way for the far right too with this ridiculous display of inflated heads.

I’ll vote for them, then I’ll puke. The only frontliner I’m feeling like supporting in the future is, maybe, Manon Aubry.

France is becoming a far right country on two weeks. Do yourself a favor and stay as far as you can.

I know it exists, but I’m so happy to buy a game I’ve played and finish. Pyre, Transistor, A story beside and so many others. Just as a “Thank you”.

P. S. : of you people didn’t know about it, check A Story Beside. One of the games I’ll never forget.

Empirical evidence wins out in the end but… it’s not that simple. One name said a lot about this : Thomas Kuhn. Try giving The structure of scientific revolutions a read whenever you can. It’s old and there are more contemporary work, but Kuhn is still a reference in epistemology.

Alternatively, people may think they’re expressing “criticism” while just being blunt and cruel. Criticism doesn’t mean belittling someone.

And I know too much about this, as a teacher. Some of my colleagues wish they were little tyrants…
