Hydrogen-powered aircraft
Which is better, the plane or the train? The plane pollutes more, but it’s faster, more convenient and cheaper than the train. Trains are expensive in terms of infrastructure and space: stations, rails, track maintenance, etc. Oil lobbies compete with nuclear lobbies. Yet aviation and ecology can be reconciled. Hydrogen-powered aircraft pollute less than trains.…

Conspiracy theories have existed all over the world, throughout the ages. In ancient times, there were fanciful explanations, such as a Jew attracting the evil eye in Alexandria. Nazi ideologies fed on conspiracy theories. Social media is a breeding ground for conspiracy theories. There are people who think the earth is flat, that the end…

Police, Army
In France, the gendarmes and the military promise “devotion to the public good and to comply with orders received only in strict respect for the human person, and undertake only to make legitimate use of force”. They do not take oaths from those in power. Décret n° 2013-874 du 27 septembre 2013 relatif à la…

Conditional military assistance
Development cooperation and security assistance must be conditional on adherence to the universal humanist values of the Enlightenment. Assistance must not be given to a dictatorial regime that oppresses its population. The United States’ unconditional support for Israel, which practices an apartheid regime against the Palestinians, is not right. This assistance should have been accompanied…

If they earned more than the average salary when they were working, they were able to invest their…

Cancer, give people a fighting chance

C’est râpé!

Grate a carrot, a piece of celeriac, a cabbage turnip and red or yellow beet into a salad bowl. You can…
