Sur Descartes, menteur et manipulateur - lecture de plage! 😉
The French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650) is generally presented as one of the founders of modern Western philosophy and science. Yet Descartes was not always the undisputed champion of reason that he is today. Why was he accused of being a purveyor of ignorance?
Was René Descartes a self-centred guru and a lying fraud? | Aeon Essays
René Descartes, the founder of modern philosophy, was furiously condemned by his contemporaries. Why did they fear him?

A #squirrel gets gently brushed and clearly enjoys it.
When the scratching stops, it taps for more. This reaction is common in #mammals, as grooming and gentle touch can trigger calming responses and even release endorphins.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.
