Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme). Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident. Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité. Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison. Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme. Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable. Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion. C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes. Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre. Alors pardon. Et au travail.

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases. A "cognitive bias" is a built-in glitch in our brain that quietly sabotages good decisions. These are the 11 craziest and most dangerous cognitive biases I've found: 👇 1. The Cobra Effect

Camus@newstart_2024·
This MRI study on young kids just exposed something terrifying: They scanned the brains of 60 children aged 3–5 — including 5-year-old Rose — and found interactive screen time is causing measurable loss of white matter in their developing brains. Even just 2 hours a day is linked to impaired neural connectivity, language, and literacy development. Professor Mike Nagel (neuroscientist and father) said his first reaction was simply: “Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that.” We’re physically changing children’s brains before they even start school — and the damage is visible on scans. This one actually unsettled me. I’ve always suspected too much screen time was bad, but seeing real white matter loss in toddlers hits different. Parents of little ones — has this kind of research changed how much screen time you allow?

@melmurrey Im so thankful my parish constantly emphasizes we should pray for an end of suffering and to keep our eyes fixated on the Heavenly Kingdom, and not to make an idol out of any politician or party.

When I am losing Orthodox friends for renouncing my support for Trump because they support the dispensationalist definition of Israel, that says more about the heresy that has found a place within their parish than it does about me.

We of course reinforce what we believe to be correct doctrine. Even the Presbyterians have their own categories of heresy. And again I say, only Christ can offer salvation or judgement, im sorry if you were told you were condemned to hell. Other than praying for you Im not sure what else you want. I hope the anger yoh feel towards Orthodoxy can thaw as we are not your enemy. May the Lord have mercy on all of us, for we are all sinners.

@danielbrent @lecternleader @RazorFist That’s why you commemorate a long list of anathemas annually? It’s essentially a reminder that you condemn people to hell and you celebrate that before the altar of God.

@ScuppernongMN @lecternleader @RazorFist It is well understood in Orthodoxy that our salvation is Christ's decision alone, and it is not our place to supplant the Supreme Judge. I hope those that have transgressed you learn the error of their ways and that no one else need go through what you have endured.

@danielbrent @lecternleader @RazorFist Even he wasn’t clergy, he was apostate, and technically anathema per Orthodox canons. I don’t believe Protestants are going to hell, so technically by canon law I am also anathema.

I dont doubt your story, but that is radically different than how our parish operates. We have many long time members that are married to partners in different denominations. Again, my heart aches that you had to experience that. That is not a good reflection of Orthodoxy by any means.

@danielbrent @lecternleader @RazorFist And the Protestant I was dating left Orthodoxy because when he was a child his priest would hit him when he asked a question about faith. Then the priest told his family he was going to hell for becoming Presbyterian.

@danielbrent @lecternleader @RazorFist Don’t do it. It’s a ghetto at best, a cult at worst. Very isolated worldview. And the converts are insane. They make Candy Catholics look normal.

@danielbrent @lecternleader @RazorFist My husband is very drawn to Orthodox as well. It seems excellent! Very grounded in Scripture. I do shy away from the level of importance that seems to be placed upon apostolic succession, but I should learn more before judging.

I grew up Southern Baptist. Walked away from church a few years ago or rather was abandoned by the church a few years ago. Been trying a few new ones but every time I go there's a female pastor in very limited Bible reading. The church today was definitely something new, but it wasn't unwelcome. There is something beautiful about separating our egos and just celebrating what Christ has done for us.

Christian Zionist Pastor John Hagee says Jesus Christ is coming back to the world as a Jewish rabbi. He says he can only rule the world as a Jewish rabbi and nothing else. “He’s going to return to the Earth at the Second Coming as a Jew.” “Jesus Christ is coming back as a Jewish rabbi.”

🚨 Campstream’s adventure is coming to an end. What started as a cold night in northern Sweden became a bold attempt to make EV camping more comfortable for everyone. From late-night prototypes to launching at Tesla Takeover, it’s been an unforgettable ride. 👇

@WellsJorda89710 Fair enough. Why the outfit? Why not put him in a suit and tie like he wears all the time? I think we all know the answer and if you look at the original poster of this meme there is a pattern. It is wrong, it is not the end of the world but he should apologize.

🚨Trump Isn’t Calling Himself Jesus — He’s Answering God’s Call🚨 Trump isn’t calling himself Jesus. He’s been crystal clear from the beginning: he believes he’s doing the work God has set before him. Jesus’ disciples healed the sick in His name. With Christ in us, we can do His works too. I have no problem with this — I lay hands on sick people and pray for them all the time. The people outraged by this are just looking for something to be mad about. Trump is openly praying for the sick — and as Protestants, we still believe in the power of prayer. It’s that simple.

Nobody is telling you how FUCKED this ceasefire situation actually is right now. I have a friend who works in defense intelligence analysis. He told me last week: "If Khamenei goes down, the Mosaic kicks in and nobody on Earth can turn it off with a phone call." That's when I knew this ceasefire was theater. Here's what happened in the last few hours: → Iran's new supreme leader "approved" the ceasefire from a hospital bed → US-Israeli intelligence says he's UNCONSCIOUS → The IRGC senior council used his name for legitimacy → IRGC cluster warheads were STILL hitting Israeli and Gulf cities AFTER the ceasefire The system that signed the deal and the system firing the missiles are TWO DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. 31 provincial commands. Each autonomous. Each with pre-delegated launch authority. Israel understood immediately. The IDF didn't pause. It struck a weapons crossing south of the Litani. It continued raids on Iranian targets. If the adversary's own architecture can't enforce the ceasefire, the ceasefire doesn't exist. The real crisis hasn't even started yet. if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post.. it's only getting crazier from here..
