Online pseudonymity pushes everyone criticize the speech and not the speaker, blockchain governance offer internet-native alternatives to elections and parliaments, and everyone can get wealthy thanks to c ...

Amoureux de la raison, de la liberté et de la démocratie, John Stuart Mill observait : « Ce n’est que par la confrontation des opinions adverses que l’on a une chance de découvrir le reste de la vérité. » Hélas, notre époque semble avoir oublié cet esprit de la controverse féconde. Partout, on s’enferme dans des clans intellectuels jaloux de leur périmètre et de leur pureté. On transforme des oppositions normales d’idées en guerre culturelle et idéologique. On publie tribunes et pétitions su ...
