"The Philosophers and Churchmen Who Fell for Fascism
Moral lessons from Vichy
France.(. . .)
The very reverend François-Louis Auvity was one of several French bishops who threw their weight behind the collaborationist Vichy government during World War II. He wrote sermons and pamphlets pushing the faithful toward cooperation with the Nazis, even to the point of accepting slavery in service of the German war machine.
How did a Catholic bishop end up supporting those who sold his nation’s sovereignty to a sworn enemy? How did he come to collaborate with the immiseration of his own people? How did he work alongside a regime that shipped French Jews to the concentration camps? The story is a complicated but interesting one: It is the story not only of Auvity but of the many who supported the Vichy government during World War II.
In that frothy age in France, there were many forks in the road. A person did not wake up one day and decide to collaborate with the Third Reich. There was a slow, almost imperceptible process of decision whereby someone was led one way or another. Of those who counted themselves faithful Christians, many adapted to Vichy, but many others stood against it in favor of a different idea of France—and a different idea of faith.
It is instructive, however, to consider how individuals who began from similar starting points went two separate ways. Some, like the philosophers Jacques Maritain and Étienne Gilson, saw the wickedness of Vichy for what it was, while others, like Bishop Auvity, compromised themselves morally step by step. How to maintain moral clarity and avoid a blind wandering into wickedness is a question of perennial importance. This age in France can tell us something about it." -
I am more concerned that a philosopher is unable to define the word "race", because it is a NAUGHT concept in #genetics #biology about #human That's my huge HUGE concern I'm not a philosopher, nor epistemologist. But his tactics resemble frankly those of #agnotology concern: Smokescreen studies

Those very philosophers even in the books which they write about despising glory, put their own names on the title-page. In the very act of recording their contempt for renown and notoriety, they desire to have their own names known and talked of.

Here’s something for the workplace philosophers among us: If your software knows where you sit, does your work-life flexibility slide away? The newest feature in Microsoft Teams will automatically update your “work location” when you connect to your company’s WiFi. In one stroke, the tool adds clarity (“Yes, you’re in the office”) and raises tension (“Yes, your boss knows you’re in the office”).
TL;DR
🧠 Teams auto-detects location via office network
⚡ Status shifts from remote to in-building without you clicking anything
🎓 It may help reduce confusion in large campuses
🔍 But it also nudges the boundary of monitoring and trusthttps://mashable.com/article/microsoft-teams-will-tell-your-boss-when-you-are-out-of-office
