All the "proof" of the deceased's non-binarity rests on these two absurd assertions. Since they are contradicted as soon as they are stated, the authors are safe from any criticism. The game will consist of forgetting these reservations as soon as we have finished writing them, and reasoning thereafter as if they were certain.
We are the advocates of the dead, not because we hear their voices, but because we refuse to subject knowledge to seductive illusions. Science cannot be a field of "exceptional" experiments; it is, above all, a space of intellectual demand.
LM's book is easy to read. It does not claim to close the debate, and is clearly intended for a non-specialist audience. While the author lets the irritation that may have led him to react to the LA Tract show here and there, he does not give in to the ease of polemics and manages to retain the reader's interest through the coherence of the critical responses he provides.
These are some examples of blind spots on the part of intelligent and well-intentioned individuals. Ultimately, it takes very little to overcome these blind spots: one must find the courage to assert moral clarity and to resolutely oppose all ideas or ideologies that exalt lies and post-truth. This requires real consistency in the defense of the truth, in the face of attacks from all political horizons, whether it is the invention of a mythified past or the fantasy of a utopian future.
In the world before, literature was the way to know the lives of others, to imagine one's own, and to test one's virtues, one's body, one's fantasies, one's hopes and one's ambitions. The teachers of morality and virtue were neither civil servants nor paid activists, but thinkers and artists grappling with the human question. This library is still available. Mr. Minister Delegate, hold on!
Academic freedom requires that we be free to choose our research topics, but like any freedom, it must be framed. The first limitation lies in our conscience, as we have known since Rabelais. As a doctor and researcher, I cannot choose a research topic that would undermine the integrity of people. But…
Despite these few reservations, the fact remains that Transmania is a powerful and useful book. Buy it, read it… and, if possible, have it signed (wearing a helmet is recommended).
It is from Scotland that we receive news that a child is suffering from "species dysphoria" and identifies with a wolf. Oncologist Jacques Robert expands on this theme.
This text discusses the effectiveness of the book “Who Wanted to Erase Alice Recoque?” published in February 2024, which quickly rehabilitated Alice Recoque, a pioneer of computer science and artificial intelligence, by generating a large media and political momentum. Recoque, born in 1929 and died in 2021, is known for her role in the design of French computers in the 1950s and 70s. The book, driven by a theory of the invisibility of women in the history of science, and amplified by influential figures, led to the decision to name a European supercomputer after her in 2024. The text analyzes how a well-orchestrated narrative strategy can transform a forgotten subject into a major public figure, and the literary mechanisms of disinvisibility used in it.
Certainly Raygunn's athletic performance is bad, was worthless. But, invalidating her presence on the pretext that she is "white" is a racist, communitarian postulate that irrevocably closes the Olympic mirage.
