Tirs à vue et menaces de mort contre les écologistes
En paraphrasant de Bertol Brecht, je dirais : "Les écologistes ont raison sur tout. Alors tuons les écologistes !"

Un facteur pathogène prédominant
L’obsession de la santé parfaite
Ivan #Illich
[...]
Cette transformation du médecin qui écoute une plainte en médecin qui attribue une pathologie arrive à son point culminant après 1945. On pousse le patient à se regarder à travers la grille médicale, à se soumettre à une autopsie dans le sens littéral de ce mot : à se voir de ses propres yeux. Par cette auto-visualisation, il renonce à se sentir. Les radiographies, les tomographies et même l’échographie des années 70 l’aident à s’identifier aux planches anatomiques pendues, dans son enfance, aux murs des classes. La visite médicale sert ainsi à la désincarnation de l’ego.

Ivan #Illich was a very sharp philosopher, writer of several books that critique deeply ingrained methods and institutions in our society.
Silja Samerski wrote this wonderful article on Illich’s work. Illich’s views on #degrowth are more topical than ever, now that it becomes more and more clear that there are limits to what our society can provide. However, where should these limits be drawn, on what basis, and by whom? Illich’s controversial view is that these limits should not be based on economical #limits, but on the added value that technology itself has for humans. According to Illich, we should limit the use of certain technologies, not because we cannot afford to pay for them, but because they do not add true value to our lives. This goes the same whether technology is immaterial (like schooling, the healthcare system, electronic currencies), or material (like genetic manipulation).
Very much worth a read.

From the abstract:
This article revisits Ivan Illich's call for limiting the use of tools and elaborates its implications for degrowth. Illich analyzed growth not as an economic ideology, but - more radically - as the result of a historically unique mindset that turns tools from means into ends. Unlike many advocates of degrowth, he did not propose alternative modes of resource consumption and distribution, but instead tried to defend vernacular subsistence and conviviality against the industrialized satisfaction of needs. Any meaningful limit to growth, Illich insisted, has to be rooted in the defense of a sphere beyond production and consumption. Yet, as he himself realized, in an advanced technological society this distinction between autonomous action and heteronomous need satisfaction is blurred. Modern tools – and especially the computer - not only paralyze innate capabilities, but shape self-perception and subjectivities so as to increase dependencies on technological systems. On the basis of Illich's works, this article will argue first that degrowth requires limits to material as well as immaterial technologies, including political management and professional services; second that these limits have to be based on the appropriate balance between vernacular subsistence and engineered instrumentalities: and, third, that political decisions demand the cultivation of a critical awareness of the symbolic power of modern technologies.
