Albert Jacquard, society and intelligence. Tribute!




by Christophe » 15/09/13, 11:03

Albert Jacquard has left us this week. New without doubt passed unnoticed by many people because ultimately little known by the general public yet some of his speeches and thoughts on Man and society are fundamental to me (poverty, the consumer society, intelligence. ..)

Jacquard was a bit like Hubert Reeves French to me ...

His life on his wiki page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Jacquard

Selection of jacquardian thoughts:

Human behavior:


Intelligence:


Demography (there is more a report than an interview, 40 minutes):


Political ecology:


Which is already a lot of thoughts! Add in others!

The future of work by Albert Jacquard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyYzeJ_Pf6o

Date:

01/01/1999



"Human slavery has reached its peak in our time in the form of free wage labor. '"

George Bernard Shaw


Albert Jacquard, French biologist, geneticist and philosopher, died on Thursday at the age of 87 years. Lover of the word and social combat, the man was famous for his quotes.


A specialist in population genetics, Albert Jacquard was best known for his social activism and his fight against social prejudices.


The man, who died on Thursday at the age of 87 years, held a humanistic speech, supposed to evolve the collective consciousness.

Albert Jacquard was the author of many books from which we extracted ten of his best quotations.

1. "Idleness is, it is said, the mother of all vices, but the excess of work is the father of all submissions." Extract of the Little philosophy for the use of non-philosophers



2. "The important thing is not that my speech is true, but that it is sincere." Excerpt from the Little Philosophy for non-philosophers



3. "To manifest one's happiness is a duty; to be openly happy gives others proof that happiness is possible. "Excerpt from the Little Philosophy for non-philosophers



4. "You can teach a computer to say," I love you, "but you can not teach it to love." Excerpt from Little Philosophy for non-philosophers



5. "We must become aware of the contribution of others, all the richer as the difference with oneself is greater." Excerpt from the Little Philosophy for non-philosophers



6. "God is innocent of the omnipotence of which we wanted to overwhelm him." Excerpt from a Conference - 10 April 2001



7. "The real remedy against unemployment is that there is no more work for anyone, but for everyone a place in society." Excerpt from the Little Philosophy for non-philosophers



8. "The others are not our hell because they are others; they create our hell when they do not agree to enter into a relationship with us. "Extract from the Little Philosophy for Non-Philosophers



9. "The lover who hopes feels more happiness than the lover who has obtained!" Excerpt from the Little philosophy for non-philosophers



10. "For me, happiness is to feel beautiful in the eyes of others." Extract of the Little philosophy for the use of non-philosophers

Thank you Christophe for these reminders ;-)

I wonder what Albert would have thought of this: http://www.lepoint.fr/livres/canular-li ... 532_37.php

Is Claude Simon really unpublishable? A manuscript of the Nobel Prize for Literature, addressed to about twenty publishing houses, was rejected by the majority of them. Should we be surprised?

Six months ago, Serge Volle amused himself by addressing the first fifty pages of a novel by Claude Simon (Le Palace, Editions de Minuit, 1962): "To see if the reading committees would accept this manuscript today" , he explains, in retrospect. A few weeks later, he received a plethora of letters of refusal. Simon won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1985.

Twelve publishers took the trouble to explain to him why they gave up publishing this book. "The sentences are endless. They completely lose the thread to the reader. The story does not allow the development of a real plot with well-drawn characters, "reads one of his letters. Seven other houses have not yet responded. But after the echo that has been given to this affair, it is doubtful whether they are now manifested.

(...)


Through this example, I see 2 serious facts about the decline of intelligence (human at least) of our society:

a) The obvious drop in the level of literature: we want something "simple", "neuneu" ...

b) The fact that these publishers have not already recognized a Nobel Prize (1985 is not so old) and worse they have not even checked the plagiarism (it's not all that early ??) .. .This non verification at the time of 2.0 company is ... uh ... just a joke?

Here I would send them a manuscript "inspired" by Proust to see ... I would sign Christophe Tsourp ... I bet they are so homeless that most would not even see the anagram : Cheesy: : Cheesy: : Cheesy:
