The story of Socrates and the three sieves
One day a man runs up to Socrates and said: “I have to tell you something about your friend who…”
“Hold up” Socrates interrupts him “About the story you’re about to tell me, did you put it trough the three sieves?”
The man was not familiar with the three sieves, so Socrates continued: “The first is the sieve of Truth. Are you sure that what you are going to tell me is true?”
“To tell the truth”, said the man, “no, I just overheard it”.
“What about the sieve of Goodness. Will you tell me something good or positive about this man?”
The man shook his head.
“Now, what about the last sieve. Is it necessary to tell me what you’re so excited about?”
When the man bowed his head in shame, Socrates smiled and said “Well, if the story you’re about to tell me is neither true, good or necessary, just forget it and don’t bother me with it.”

#EtienneChouard: "Le suffrage universel pour élire des maîtres ? Ils se foutent de notre gueule !" - #KarlZéro
Honni par « le #Système » et ses chiens de garde qu’il dénonce inlassablement , Etienne #Chouard est une des rares #personnalités à penser vraiment par elle-même. Il s’intéresse aux #causes plus qu’aux #conséquences, prend de la hauteur dans ce monde de razmokets. C’est pour ça que Chouard agace. Il ose penser le monde, les êtres et les choses d’une façon si différente, si essentielle qu’il mérite d’être entendu, puis médité. Le modèle qu’il propose est #révolutionnaire, au sens propre et au sens noble, libéré des sempiternelles scories #idéologiques des siècles passés. Çà change autant du robinet à conneries insipides et pré-pensées des #médias inféodés aux #pouvoirs #politiques et #financiers que des litanies marxisantes ou pétainisantes des extrêmes. Chouard ne se prosterne pas devant le Veau d’or, il l’éparpille façon puzzle, et le remplace par nous, vous, moi. Dans cette #conversation - on pourrait dire cette « masterclass » - on revient sur toutes ses fulgurances depuis 20 ans, et Chouard #analyse les #abus #sexuels commis sur les #enfants comme une variante des abus de #pouvoir commis sur le #peuple depuis des lustres.

The real battleground of 2024 is emotion
A #conversation with #historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat about why the #authoritarian right is so deft at playing to feeling -- and why pro-democracy leaders must catch up
ANAND GIRIDHARADAS
..."Can those who defend the rule of law and pluralism and economic justice and human rights not only articulate those ideas but also appeal to the more basic human needs to belong, to have anxieties soothed, to have fears answered, to feel hope, or just to feel something at the end of bleak and tedious days?
One of the strange dynamics of the Trump era is that, as the right has become, more and more, a movement of passion more than reason, of emotional appeal more than policy solutions, the political left has, as if to be symmetrical, drifted the other way.
Today’s electoral left is highly cerebral. It is suspicious of the politics of passion. It doesn’t do emotional appeals. It doesn’t have much of a role for music, for the body, for in-person communing in public spaces, for catchy slogans, for arresting visuals. The more Trump becomes a carnival barker, the more it seems leaders on the left embrace coming across like the inoffensive heads of state one sees in many European capitals — people who are working very hard not to be interesting, who seem to associate life force in politics with danger. Today’s left seeks to appeal to human beings through a small sliver of all the ways in which human beings take in the world.
If this were an age defined by big policy questions and little else, that would be one thing. But it is an age defined by Big Feelings. By anxiety and fear and future dread and a great confusion among millions of people about who they will be on the far side of head-spinning change. By the emotional crises of men unsettled by a future of gender equality, and of white people unsettled by a future of racial equality, and of young people who know deep down that their parents love them but wonder why they have left them a burning, doomed planet. By the dour vibes of people who know that, on paper, the economy is good, but who cannot shake the feeling that the American dream is a lie. All around us, people are lost, not sure how to make sense of their place in a world of upheaval. In an era such as this, leaving the politics of emotion, of passion, to aspiring autocrats is a dangerous abdication."...

Larry Alex Taunton interviews #JimFerguson I Went to The World #Economic #Forum as a Spy —THIS is What Scared Me The Most. In this episode of Ideas Has Consequences, I chatted with Jim Ferguson about this. Here's a hint... it's #not #good #news for you!
Larry engages in an #enlightening #conversation with #Jim-Ferguson, a passionate advocate standing shoulder-to-shoulder against the World Economic Forum and its intricate global strategies. Jim, a devoted patriot from Scotland with a fervent belief in individual liberties, delves into the meticulous research he has undertaken, unraveling the intricate web woven by the WEF. Unveiling their intentions to exercise control over the worldwide food chain by unsettlingly seizing farms, Jim’s insights bring to light the gravity of the situation.
Furthermore, the video sheds light on the disconcerting connection between prominent #WEF benefactors and their zealous promotion of C*vid-19 and other vaccines. Astonishingly, these very individuals ardently advocate for a drastic reduction in the global populace by several billion souls. The discourse takes an alarming turn as we explore openly discussed aspirations of globalist powers. The urgency for ordinary citizens to be prepared and resolute in opposing the affluent utilitarian puppeteers orchestrating the World Economic Forum becomes undeniably apparent. Join us to delve into these crucial issues that demand the vigilance and determination of all those who champion the cause of #freedom.

What al-Shifa doctor told Israeli forces ahead of raid | AJ #shorts
"In his recent national address, Vladimir #Putin laid out a vision for #Russia that is at odds with the security and economic architecture that the West has counted for years. Can the U.S. and its Allies deter Putin’s aggression? Do we have the tools and strategy to effectively counter Moscow’s dark vision for the #future?
To discuss these issues, Ambassador Mark Green held a #conversation with Rep. Adam Smith, Chair of the House Armed Services Committee and recently returned from the Munich Security Conference."

Tuteur de français (conversation, correction d'écrits) à Bourges ou en visio
#français #french #langue #language #conversation #speaking
(FR) Bonjour à tous,
Je m'appelle Nicolas, le français est ma langue maternelle et je serais ravi de discuter avec vous ou corriger vos écrits pour vous aider à progresser. Je suis musicien (altiste, compositeur, arrangeur), et je m'intéresse aussi aux trains, aux plantes, à la cuisine et à l'environnement. Je parle également anglais et espagnol, et j'apprends le finnois, donc si vous apprenez le français depuis ces langues, je pourrai vous aider plus spécifiquement.
J'enseigne la musique depuis 2012, et avant cela j'ai donné des cours particuliers de mathématiques et physique, je sais donc m'adapter à votre niveau et trouver au fil du temps les moyens de vous faire progresser.
À bientôt !
(EN) Hi everyone,
I'm Nicolas, French native speaker and I'll be happy to speak French with you or to correct your texts, so I can help you to improve your skills. I'm a musician (violist, composer and arranger), and I'm also interested in trains, plants, cooking and environment. I also speak English, Spanish and I am learning Finnish, so if you learn French from these languages I will be able to help you more specificly.
I have been teaching music since 2012, and before that I teached maths and physics, so I can adapt myself to your level and find the keys to make you progress.
See you soon!
(FI) Moi kaikki,
Olen Nicolas, ranska on minun äidinkieleni ja mielelläni juttelen sinun kanssasi tai korjaan kirjoitustasi auttaakseni sinua edistymään. Olen muusikko (alttoviulisti, säveltäjä, sovittaja), ja minua kiinnostavat myös junat, kasvit, ruoanlaitto ja ympäristö. Puhun myös englantia ja espanjaa, ja opiskelen suomea, joten jos opiskelet ranskaa noilla kielillä, voin auttaa sinua eteenpäin.
Olen opettanut musiikkia vuodesta 2012 lähtien ja sitä ennen annoin yksityistunteja matematiikassa ja fysiikassa, joten tiedän kuinka sopeutua sinun tasoosi ja löytää ajan myötä keinot edistyä.
Nähdään pian!
Früher Nachmittag, späte Pause. Gelegentlich fallen Termine in merkwürdige Zeitfenster, und dann merkt man, wie sehr sich ein bestimmter Tagestakt eingeschliffen hat, wie sehr die Konzentration an gewohnten Bruchpunkten abfällt und schließlich verschwindet . Stolpert aus dem Fahrstuhl in den Hof und über das Pflaster, sorgsam, nicht die Schatten zu verlassen, außerhalb derer sich die Stadt hell und heiß anfühlen muss. Braucht eine Weile, bis sich Ziel und Richtung wieder finden. Auszeit im Blick dutzender Tauben, die neue Lücken für sich gefunden haben. Gespräche unkonstruktiven Verlaufs, auch mit sich selbst. Nichts Neues im Betonviertel.

Machines and #Morality
A #conversation with an unhinged #Bing made me rethink what gives humans #moral value.
Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/19/special-series/chatgpt-and-morality.html
We’ve spent the months since unhinged Bing’s debut debating how the arrival of generative A.I. will transform the future, but perhaps we should first reflect on what these systems — and our reaction to them — say about us, now.
