Pendant des siècles, la #lecture linéaire sur papier a façonné notre #cerveau pour la concentration longue et l’analyse critique. Or, le numérique impose un autre régime : le « F‑pattern », ainsi nommé parce que nos yeux tracent sur l’écran la forme d’un F, pour capter des mots‑clés, sauter des blocs entiers et traquer l’information immédiate.
Le problème n’est pas seulement que notre façon de lire s’appauvrit : c’est que nous risquons de perdre progressivement la capacité à construire des simulations mentales complexes et soutenues. À long terme, cela ouvre la voie à une forme d’#analphabétisme secondaire : nous saurons encore déchiffrer les mots, mais nous n’aurons plus la musculature cognitive nécessaire pour soutenir une pensée longue, nuancée, résistante comme celle d’un essai philosophique exigeant ou d’un #roman de 800 pages.
Le danger ultime est la fragilisation de la pensée critique autonome. Incapables de #lire un texte complexe sans être constamment distraits ou tentés de zapper, nous devenons plus vulnérables aux slogans, à la simplification outrancière, à la manipulation. Le monde se réduira alors à des oppositions binaires (blanc/noir, vrai/faux, j’aime/j’aime pas), parce que notre cerveau n’aura plus la patience de traiter les nuances de gris.

my brother-in-law just told me he’d hate to bring kids into this world.

I couldn’t help but: “aaaah man” him with a deep sigh.

this is the worst type of thinking. It’s antithetical to life and doomerist to its core.

more than anything it breaks my heart to hear it. So many young men have led to this conclusion.

I told him the world’s always been a mess: wars, plagues, tyrants, etc. etc. Different times create different challenges, but humanity keeps going because people choose hope over despair. That kids aren’t a burden, in fact, I think they’re the ultimate act of defiance against the chaos.

after much discussion late into the night, I ended by saying the world doesn’t get better by hiding from it; it gets better when we fill it with the next generation of fighters, dreamers, and builders.

so bring those kids in, they’ll make the world worth saving.

You should know if you’re getting married after six months of dating.

Marry or break up.

You need good friends. You need community. You need family. You can’t do this life alone.

Divorce is the choice we’ve been told not to question.

That must end.

A massive new study tracked over 1 million children across 50 years. The results are devastating.

If you’re a parent or policymaker, you need to see what divorce really does to kids: 🧵
