The whole point of the #enlightenment, the scientific revolution, our educational and #epistemic institutions was to empower individuals to find a way out of their self-imposed #immaturity, to take #agency over their lives and make informed decisions.
We need #epistemic clarity about reality, for without it, our agency will be blunted & our freedom a charade

1/9 « Nous sommes en #guerre ! » a martelé 6 fois le fondé de pouvoir de l’oligarchie, le 16 mars. Tous unis contre un méchant virus ? Malheureusement, nous allons avoir une fois de plus la confirmation d’une guerre de classe que les riches, mènent contre les classes populaires.
2/9 De quelle légitimité #Macron peut-il se prévaloir pour nous enjoindre à une «union sacrée» qu’il n’a cessé de mettre à mal, en faisant des cadeaux par dizaines de milliards à ceux qui l’ont placé à l’Élysée et en dénigrant systématiquement les derniers de cordée ?
3/9 Bruno #Canard, le chercheur spécialisé sur le Coronavirus, dénonce dans @humanite_fr shar.es/aH2usz, la baisse des financements pour la #recherche concernant les investigations sur les #virus. On a la rage en apprenant que leurs profits valent mieux que nos vies.
