I have been silent for some time about the current crisis in the US.

I was lacking words to express my feelings and I needed to learn more about white privilege before I voice a public opinion.

The things I have learned are in the thread below:

1/ In the past I got defensive when I heard "white privilege" because I felt it denied my achievements and the efforts that I put into achieving my goals.

Today I realise that white privilege is about the lack of obstacles I was facing on the way 2/

As researchers I believe our responsibility in the current situation is to educate people on logical fallacies.

I see so many conspiracy theories online and I am starting to worry that people will believe them.

So, I'll start with my most important fallacy:

1/2 A hypothesis needs to be falsifiable - there needs to be a way to, in theory, proof a hypothesis wrong

E.g. I don't think that Bill Gates is the mastermind behind #COVID19

If the response is that I only say that because I am brainwashed, this is a non-falsifiable statement 2/

Interior design in one of my secret passions.

In light of the fact that we will stay at home for a long time, how about some re-design.

So, here is a thread with my favourite interior instagram accounts:
