Robots
Robotnik means ‘worker’ in Polish and robotník means ‘worker’ in Czech/Slovak. The issue of robots forces us to think about human labor, because human labor is becoming less necessary thanks to machines. We need to support the work of machines so that humans can survive without doing this work. If machines replace human labor, these humans…

The diesel engine
Diesel engines are more efficient, more reliable, easier to repair, and more polyvalent than gasoline engines. Diesel engines produce combustion particles, but their ecological footprint can be reduced through the use of filters and additives. Like all combustion engines, they pollute, but they are the most efficient — meaning they use less fuel and emit…

Billionaires are often squeezed by autocrats
Billionaires who support autocrats have no guarantee that the autocrat will grant them benefits once elected. Having an autocrat’s ear does not necessarily last. It is quite common to see autocrats discard their supporters. “He who can destroy a thing has the real control of it.” Dune, Frank Herbert. This means that when you bring…

Teleworking and flexible working hours have many advantages and are easy to implement. The legal framework is already in place, teleworking has been experimented during COVID, and many office tasks are now digitized and can therefore be performed remotely. This improves citizens’ lives without the need for politicians, voting, or conflict. With more teleworking, the…

It creates enemies. Improving the world does not mean accusing others. We need more tolerance on both the…

Siblings in humanity
It is true that the quality of life in France is better than in most countries around the world. Some people therefore wonder: why do they complain? Why are the French such grumblers? It is precisely because they are not fooled, because they defend themselves and because they show solidarity that they have a better…

Societies that choose solidarity are those where people want to go
“One for all – all for one” Self-interest at the expense of the general interest doesn’t pay off. Societies in which each individual acts in his or her own interest rather than in the general interest live less well than those that choose the interests of the group. Paradoxically, those who think of their personal…

Pathologizing children and teenagers
The number of pathologies affecting children has risen from 50 to 500. There are more and more children per class, fewer and fewer supervisors, fewer and fewer school nurses, school psychologists and social workers. Epidemiological studies show that children have different diagnoses depending on their social background. File dans ta chambre – Caroline Goldman In…

We are breathing uranium
Uranium is not used responsibly. It is used in ammunitions during war. When ammunition explode, uranium is dispersed into dust that is carried by the wind or spreads into waterways. We are all polluted by wars, even those far away. It is used in agriculture to sterilize crops. Farmers are the first victims because they…
