Intelligence :
not because you think you know everything without questioning,
but rather because you question everything you think you know.

In 1825, the great French gastronom Brillat de Savarind said,
“Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.”
Today, in America, we can safely say,
“Tell me what you watch, and I will tell you what you are.”
The French may love food.
The Italians may love opera.
What we love is TV. We are TV culture. It defines who we are.

I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles. Therefore, every day I walk down the street and tell passersby what I have eaten,
how I feel at the moment,
what I have done the night before,
what I will do later, and with whom.
I give them pictures of my family, my dog, and of me gardening,
taking things apart in the garage, watering the lawn, standing in front of landmarks,
driving around town, having lunch, and doing what anybody and everybody does every day.
I also listen to their conversations, give them the "thumbs up" and tell them I like them.
And it works just like Facebook! I already have four people following me: two police officers, a private investigator, and a psychiatrist.

Contre ma volonté, j’ai été le témoin de la plus
effroyable défaite de la raison
et du plus sauvage triomphe de la brutalité
qu’atteste la chronique des temps; jamais ce n’est aucunement avec orgueil que
je le consigne, mais avec honte -
une génération n’est tombée comme la nôtre
d’une telle élévation spirituelle
dans une telle décadence morale.
Seuls les idiots s'interdisent d'aimer des choses différentes
sous prétexte que ça ne correspond pas à une étiquette.

Reality Distortion Field (RDF)
A reality distortion field (RDF) is a phenomenon in which an individual’s intellectual abilities, persuasion skills and persistence make other people believe in the possibility of achieving very difficult tasks.
The term was coined by Apple employee Bud Tribble to describe former Apple Inc. co-founder, CEO and chairman Steve Jobs' ability to encourage his team to complete virtually any assigned or delegated task.
...
The flip side is that the distortion field was Steve Jobs' darker side.
Many considered him so driven that he would lie, pester, cheat or do whatever it took to succeed. In this light, a cynic would point to RDF as Jobs' ability to manipulate people to do what he wanted.

- C'est une boutade ...

Il est plus facile de dire ce qu'on n'est pas, que de dire ce qu'on est.
(Stéphane Le Foll commentant le départ d'Emmanuel Macron)
L'apophatisme (du substantif grec ἀπόφασις, apophasis, issu du verbe ἀπόφημι – apophēmi, « nier ») est une approche philosophique fondée sur la négation. En dérive la théologie négative, c'est-à-dire une approche de la théologie qui consiste à insister plus sur ce que Dieu n'est « pas » que sur ce que Dieu est.
