Si Je Devais Avoir Du Mépris
Si je devais avoir du mépris
Si je devais avoir du mépris, ce ne serait pas pour l’ignorant, le fanatique, le passionné ridicule, pour les gens superficiels ou imbus d’eux-mêmes.
Si je devais avoir du mépris, ce ne serait pas pour le cracher à la tête de ceux qui ont une opinion différente de la mienne.
Si je devais avoir du mépris, ce ne serait pas pour ceux qui se comportent comme des cons aujourd’hui.
Non, si je devais avoir du mépris, ce serait pour ceux qui se comporteront comme des cons demain.
Ce serait pour ceux qui se pavanent plein de certitudes, certains de leurs connaissances inébranlables, de leurs sources irréfutables, de leur parole incontestable. Inamovibles colosses dont les théories sont étayées à grand renforts de données biaisées, d’extrapolations fumeuses, de faits mal analysés et de vérités partielles.
Pour ceux qui se font fort d’esquiver les questions gênantes avec la mauvaise grâce que caractérise une foi encore plus mauvaise.
Ceux qui refusent le dialogue en bâillonnant ceux qui les entourent. Ceux qui se créent des œillères pour ne contempler que ce qui leurs plait. Ceux qui s’assourdissent avec leurs propres discours, tels des disques rayés, ânonnant les mêmes paroles jours après jours.
Ce serait non pas pour celui qui n’est pas intelligent, mais pour celui qui refuse de l’être.
Car si l’intelligence est dans la nature de l’Homme, alors je ne vois pas de comportement plus aberrant que celui qui consiste à en refuser l’expression et le développement.
Oui, si je devais avoir du mépris, ce serait pour lui, pour elle. Pour toi aussi qui me lis. Pour moi, surtout.
Car l’idée même que l’immobilisme intellectuel est une plaie est une idée fixe. Sans doute s’appuie-t-elle sur les biais mentionnés plus haut.
Mais c’est la seule qui semble conserver la notion d’autocritique et de rigueur intellectuelle, et c’est sans doute celle qui confère à notre esprit le plus de vertu.

“I do get a lot of odd looks when walking around Glasgow, especially when I’m training. There is still that stereotype here that women dressed like me should just be in the kitchen. An old instructor of mine used to call me his ‘little ninja girl.’ I didn’t mind because it gave me an advantage. I was taken lightly and I routinely got underestimated, especially when sparring. I remember one male student who was well over 6ft reassured me by saying,
‘Don’t worry. I will go easy on you.’
He soon found himself on the floor.”

Dare to date a GM 😊
I've accidentally misread it as "date a DM" and thought "oh my fuckin' god, YES!". Got slightly disappointed. And punched by my gf. Worth it.
“Date a DM” is pretty good advice that will lead to you usually having someone to run a game for you.
But “Dare to DM” is even better advice, because you’ll always be able to play an RPG if you’re the one willing to run it!
Anyway, I lolled.
New superhero comic, Spark!
Hey, everyone! This is the creator of Little Girls Are Better At Designing Superheroes Than You, here with a post I thought you all might like. Writer Ted Anderson and I have made a pitch for a superhero comic!
The comic is about nine-year-old Lucia Marquez-Miller, who loves engineering, and uses her telekinetic powers to build and take things apart with her mind. She calls this power her spark!
As Spark, the world’s youngest superhero, she’s a junior member of a superhero team while also trying to live a normal life. Can Lucia juggle her friends and family while also saving the world from supervillains?
We’re posting a 15-page standalone comic here on tumblr to give readers an idea of what the book would be like.
Click “read more” below to continue reading the comic!
Keep reading

"Wasn’t Kurt Cobain that guy who committed suicide?"
No. He was a lot more than that, you ignorant fuck.
Yet another geeky guy on the internet of Things. Plot-twist: is actually a feminist, expect some reblogs.
