Mauvaise foi


Sur de nombreux médias sociaux aujourd'hui :
"There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dares not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed."
-- Bertrand Russell, Human Society in Ethics and Politics (1954)

Le problème n'est pas vraiment le réconfort qu'il croit y trouver si c'était vraiment un placébo innocent mais qu'il croie que cela exige ensuite un droit de le préserver à n'importe quel moyen.
