Reading Time: < 1 minute The colour of a face, The darkness of a place, Staring from behind, I am the one you find, I crash to the ground, and pray, You take my breath away, It’s me today, him tomorrow, You do not stop and have no sorrow, Let the men and women march, Down the avenue, under the […]

Facebook – 50 Shades Of Grey (Disintegrating) Matter
Reading Time: 2 minutes I don’t want to judge millions of people who absolutely swear by Facebook. I’m not even arguing with those who get a kick out of insulting others they don’t even know. I suppose it’s my fault – I mistook a boy for a girl, and then criticised him because he posted a video saying that […]
In Need Of Sense And Responsibility
Reading Time: 4 minutes The situation is scary because the enemy is invisible, and although not everyone is sick, we are all affected. We must all take our responsibility. I have studied enough biology at school and university to know what a virus is and how it acts. The PhD I obtained in 1999, although mainly focusing […]
The Coronavirus Pandemic And Individual Responsibility
Reading Time: 4 minutes It is strange that what many people decry in our societies – loneliness – will probably save us from flirting with partial extinction. In confining the whole population of France to two weeks of house arrest, Emmanuel Macron has used one of the ills of present-day society so that we can all continue living together. […]
Coronavirus – Ethics And Rationality In Decision-Making
Reading Time: 5 minutes Implementation of restrictions in various European countries has made me realise to what extent we all took things for granted. Gone are the days where we could eat out, go to the cinema, or visit a museum, without thinking twice about it. But the coronavirus outbreak has also cast a shadow over my dental practice. […]
La Moralité d’Un Coronavirus
Reading Time: 3 minutes Quelques semaines après le début de l’épidémie du coronavirus, et je suis atteint. Non, je n’ai pas attrapé cette saloperie – heureusement – mais je devrai faire face à la perspective, tôt ou tard, de manquer de masques de protection pour mon cabinet dentaire. Grâce à la panique générale – même mes collègues ont fait […]
Greta Thunberg And The Climate Change Debate
Reading Time: 4 minutes On October 10 an interesting podcast was published on UncommonGroundMedia, analysing, “the validity of the criticisms by people who acknowledge climate change as a problem, and environmental activism as desirable, but are nevertheless vehemently critical of Greta on various grounds, including her youth, her white identity, and the perception of her as a puppet.” On […]
The Vision (I) – The Violet Light
Reading Time: 6 minutes Mesmerised by a violet vision, I stopped to gaze at the patch of sky whose power I could feel from the roadside. I clutched at my heart but felt no beat, and wondered what enchanted forces had brought me here, what mellow sounds had enticed me. But there were no sounds, not even whispers, and […]
Sex-Dolls – So Much Better Than Making Love To A Dalek
Reading Time: 5 minutes There comes a time where, sharing your bed with the person you love, a cup of cocoa on the bedside table and Descartes’ “Passion of the Souls” in your hands, is just so much better that even the most expensive sex-dolls. When I arrived, I was met by a large dildo resting on a […]
On The Edge Of A “Sexual Ravine” – One Giant Leap Forwards For Womanhood
Reading Time: 6 minutes Most women find themselves constantly on the edge of a dangerous and ubiquitous “sexual ravine.” Those who fall into the trap of the ravine no longer see themselves as unique and valuable individuals. They possess a physical body that constantly requires an appearance corresponding to sexual criteria imposed by men. The ravine extracts from its […]
