  4. They say you have to compose haiku poems at some point in the game. That game looks awesome. I wanted to buy it (even if I haven't finished my current game), but it was sold out (and I don't want to download it, it takes for ever these days...). I'll try in another shop.

  7. If you disagree with those in power, you can vote. You can civilly debate those who disagree (which is what you're doing here and I sincerely appreciate it). You can write articles, protest civilly if you want (but that doesn't mean looting). I didn't say that everybody loved him. I like and respect him, that's what matters to me and I don't care about the sad and intolerant souls who hated him 60 years ago. We're in 2020 though. We're not in 1968. I invoke his name, because I agree with him. Because he talked about individuals, peace and color blindness. That's not what many "protesters" say today.
  8. Sure. Do you have any example? I can give you plenty of examples of censorship. Especially by Big Tech, who seem to think that they are the scientific and journalistic police of the world, which they are not. They are an oligopoly, that was helped by the US and benefit from several tax loopholes in many countries.
  9. The anglo-saxon media are not about journalists anymore, they are mostly editorialists who will say that it's raining outside because of groupthink and without checking what the weather actually is. It's actually not exactly the same in the French press (I read both). Our newspapers have their biases, but they generally tend to stick to the facts and try to have critical thinking. Yep, that's a human tendency. That means everybody from all sides does it. Which is why we need people who spend time checking the facts and trying to bring a summarized, but still roughly accurate view of the world (it's the goal, it's never achievable, but still a goal). When it's highly technical, we call these people "scientists" and they are still generally trustworthy. When it's less technical, we call these people "journalists", but their credibility has severely plummeted, because they've become more zealots than journalists (especially in the US).

  13. Comparison is not reason. The fact that people who protested 60 years ago were right doesn't mean that protesters are right nowadays. The situation is different. The 1960s movements were about legal rights. Changing the law. They were not about "social justice", because this term is an oxymoron. Justice is individual, not social. It's one of the cornerstones of Democracy. Solidarity is social, but not justice, because you're not guilty of what your supposed "group" does. If people want solidarity, I agree with them, but looting and violence will never achieve that. Color blindness is what brings solidarity. BTW, ML King never argued for violence. He said the opposite in "I have a dream" : "We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence".
  14. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" => that's the state of mind we need to have if we want constructive dialog and democracies. That's not idealistic, because I'm pretty sure we were closer to that, just 10 years ago.
  15. ^ Monopolies often have detrimental effects (except in special cases), because they don't allow the emergence of new solutions and critical thinking. There are many sectors where there has been an "oligopolisation" over the past years, but one of the most harmful is the press, especially the anglo-saxon mainstream media (because of groupthink & a reduced number of owners). Their ideas/narrative are getting more radical every day and leave no room to critical thinking. That's partly what we call political correctness.
