Long Live the Fools! Humanity Could’t Do Without Them

Original title: Vive les imbéciles ! L’humanité ne pourra jamais s’en passer

Synopsis

Fools are essential!

But what do we know about fools? That we meet them in our everyday life? That someone is always the fool of someone else? Among our neighbors, our co-workers, our bosses, our best friends, and our family, fools amuse us or ruin our days. We can’t get rid of them… Fortunately: they are indispensable!

Let’s love idiots! Without them, our strengths and our talents remain invisible! Idiocy differentiates humans from other species but also from machines and robots.

Say no to the dictatorship of perfection!

The fallible and the error marks our humanity, and make all our charm. Imbecility is an extraordinary opportunity!

Let’s accept the surprises of the human brain and live in a peaceful world. Let’s stay away from the binary functioning of our computers and from their algorithms that erase our imperfections.

Long live the collective imbecility! Long live the imperfection of our lives!
