Artificial intelligence defies human or so-called natural intelligence. Civilization is built on the very idea of intelligence: what we have been able to build over the centuries has been the continuity of the transmission of intelligence through language, whether oral or written, from generation to generation. Anthropocentrism (the idea that the world somehow revolves around man) is partly justified by…

Work Is An Infinite Game
The different stages of life have been thought of from a productivist angle: we learn, we produce and we rest. Each stage corresponds to an age of life: youth, adulthood and old age. Work, although its etymology is disputed, refers to an idea of suffering in times when those who worked hard were slaves, while the aristocracy, whether Athenian or…
+A Relationship Is Like A Plant

+Are You Living In Beautiful Times Without Knowing It?
Those who lived during the Belle Époque didn’t know it at the time. It was only in retrospect that this period was considered as such, since it was framed between 2 wars, that of 1870 and that of 1914.

Until very recently, white-collar workers had always felt safe. They didn’t mind seeing millions of jobs outsourced or replaced by machines.

White-collar workers are going to lose their jobs en masse far more quickly than blue-collar workers, and…
+Where Data Is Scarce, Man Still Has Power
What makes AI irresistible is its ability to analyze billions of pieces of data and draw conclusions from them, something that humans are incapable of doing. While the number of fields in which man will have an advantage over machine will diminish over time, there are still contexts in which he will have an advantage over them, at least for…
+We Don’t Choose Our Enemies, They Choose Us. Arturo Pérez-Reverte
The Gospels state that “Love will conquer”, and therefore that love is stronger than anything else, and that it can conquer hatred and all the baseness of the world. To be so powerful, this love must be divine, and after all, we’re only human. So what can we do if someone has designated us as their enemy? Can we really…
+Imagine Life As A Hidden Camera
It’s hard to act heroically or epically on a daily basis. Everything changes when you know you’re being watched, and especially when people you like and value are watching you. Now imagine that your every move is being watched as if you were being filmed by a hidden camera. The Hidden Camera Helps You To act heroically, you sometimes need…
+The Important Thing Is To Learn, Not To Win
Winning is the laurel that crowns a journey of learning, the natural consequence of a spirit of growth and progress. To Win, You Must Forget To Win To win, you have to learn to lose. We learn everything from defeats and almost nothing from victories, which is why winning and losing are two sides of the same coin. If you…
+Why Do People Get Tattoos?
There are countless reasons why people would go in for tattoos. First of all, let’s go back to its origins. Tattooing takes its name from the Polynesian word “tatau” [Marquesan tatu meaning “to mark the skin” or Tahitian ta tau, from “ta” meaning “to incise”].
