  1. _Ethical responsibility_ 🧶

    Incest is settled by a perverse disconnect between words and deeds.
    According to Cécile Cée, ‘the situation does not depend on what the victim has to say about it, but on what society should say about it’ (p. 181). The act of naming is not:
    * the result of interpersonal negotiation (to what extent may I call incest what the victim does not designate as such?),
    * but rather a collective statement (‘It is up to society, to third parties, to you, to enunciate,’ p. 182), which alone can ‘put the world back the right way up’ (p. 227),
    * then we move away from individual conscience and into the realm of social and political ethical responsibility.

  3. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The sad truth of the matter is that most evil is done by people who never made up their minds to be or do either evil or good.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Life of the Mind, Vol. 1 “Thinking,” Part 3, ch. 18 “The two-in-one” (1977)

  5. The Father's Song A timely message for Father's Day... and other things.

  6. The Father's Song

    A timely message for Father's Day... and other things. Entirely germane when I wrote it 12 years ago, I had no idea how much more relevant it would soon be.

  7. Rhetorical question:

    Whenever a Republican accuses somebody of something, why do we nowadays first think:
    What has this Republican done in his/her past?
    What does he/she try to hide?

    Every single time, their accusations turn out to be confessions. Every Single Time.

  9. Rights don't come without responsibilities.

    This applies not only to the freedom of speech which comes with the responsibility to use it at the right time, for the right thing.

    But also with the freedoms of free software, that require you to fork and develop things yourself, when it's the right thing to do.

    And as not everyone is able to give great speeches, not everyone is a great programmer. But those who are not rely on those who are. That's life.
