A testimonial for a boring life.

"We spend so much of our lives chasing a version of “enough” that was never ours to begin with. Always trying to catch up. To know more. Do more. Become more.But maybe… the answer was never “more.” Maybe it was less."

"The world rewards loud voices, fast growth, constant novelty. But introverts, we thrive in silence. In the quiet walks. The familiar tea cups. The slow mornings. The repetition that grounds us."

"Maybe the real secret is simply to stay. Stay with your silence. Stay with your quiet hobbies. Stay with your boring, beautiful life.Because sometimes, in choosing to be “left behind,” you finally return to yourself."

"Am I worried about losing my job? Sure. It seems almost assured that eventually, my skilled craftsmanship and decades of experience will be replaced by a huge machine that churns out low-quality versions of what I used to painstakingly produce. Undoubtedly, this machine-slop will be cheaper to make, leading to the death of my craft and the loss of my knowledge, all so we can reflexively consume greater quantities of mass-produced garbage and keep the working class poor. I get why the Luddites are pissed, I really do."

"I still don’t get how common the idea is that if you’re not participating in the modern dystopian web, you’re just an outcast, all alone, lost in the woods, not knowing what everyone else is up to. Did you all have lives before all this? Don’t people have family and friends, along with their phone numbers, house addresses, or emails? Why do so many folks feel the need to know what a huge number of strangers are doing, right now, in a completely different part of the world?"

Je savais déjà que Peter Thiel était quelqu'un de détestable, mais au moins grâce à Simon Puech, je sais maintenant qu'il l'a toujours été .. Une vidéo qui m'a appris pas mal de choses sur son parcours et ses liens avec les personnes qu'ils cotoient aujourd'hui (notamment sa rencontre avec J.D Vance)

Les Etats-Unis continuent à se fasciser et les Big Tech se régalent 🤮

I didn't know Fred Turner before and it has been very interesting to listen to him here and on France Culture recently on the topic of technofacism

"As I reviewed photos of protesters and tear gas in the wake of his death, I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend."

Un fait historique sur le domaine du transport dont je n'avais aucune connaissance. Découvert grâce à l'excellente veille de Louis Derrac que je ne peux que vous conseiller !

"En avril 2023, le Centre de compétences en durabilité de l’Université de Lausanne a publié une étude sur l’impact du numérique et du télétravail, peu diffusée dans les médias. Et pour cause: Johann Recordon y démontre que les problèmes créés sont nombreux"

Many young people across Asia are cutting themselves off from society, locking themselves at home for months or years. Here’s why.
