There is something important that you need to know about this blog.
This blog is not only used to present my work, objectively, and from a purely scientific point of view. I am a scientist, certainly, but I am also and above all a human. It's an important notion for me. The social sciences are special because they are extremely complex. We do not even know which parameters need to be studied, we do not have an exhaustive list of the parameters that must be studied. Some things are far too subtle. For example, to know that someone is lying, one may need to identify a particular smell. The social sciences are extremely complex, and that is why most of the time we can only rely on our instinct.
The social sciences are extremely complex, and if you have a purely scientific approach, then you will not be able to do anything interesting. The social sciences are one of the most fundamental, most indispensable areas for our society to be in good health. We have no other choice, to fully explore the social sciences, than to leave our usual status as objective scientists. We are not objective in the social sciences. Social sciences are a necessity. And if we have a purely objective approach, we will not succeed in doing anything. We are not objective in the social sciences, and we must be aware of that. We must still try to work properly, and to have as much objectivity as possible, knowing that it will not be possible to be totally objective because the social sciences are too complex.
I went astray, because that was not what I wanted to tell you.
What I was saying is that my blog does not present my work in a methodical way.
In my blog, I do not present my work by talking about one chapter, then another.
It is voluntary.
My blog is not only meant to share my many understandings, and to encourage active pacifism.
My blog also aims (and perhaps more importantly) to make me known.
I want you to learn to understand me.
Too many atrocities have been committed.
In the name of decency, I demand
(j'exige) that you learn to understand me.
What is shocking in the Second World War is not just the attitude of the Nazis.
What is shocking is also the attitude of Winston Churchill, who declares war on Germany despite the collateral damage it would cause.
What is shocking is the attitude of Winston Churchill who refuses Germany's peace proposal.
What is shocking is that Winston Churchill sees no other possibility than war.
It is something very shocking, that this need to go to war.
What is shocking is this triad:
- the need to go to war
- collateral damage is inevitable, which will particularly affect people of Jewish culture
- ignorance of Jewish culture
In declaring war, Winston Churchill actually sentenced millions of Jews.
In declaring war, Winston Churchill indirectly admitted that the social sciences were insufficient.
In declaring war, Winston Churchill indirectly admitted the lack of thoughtfulness of English and American societies.
If the Americans and the English had had more love towards the Jews, maybe all this would not have happened.
It's something important for me.
Through my blog, I want people to understand with their own understandings.
Through my blog, I want people to witness my fight against despair.
Through my blog, I want people to witness
my good intentions, my kindness and my intelligence.
Witnessing good intentions, despair, and kindness is not something a totally objective scientist can do.
For events like the Second World War not to be repeated, I think it's imperative that people understand that I, like many Jews, do not just work for my community:
I care about the whole of the global society.
It seems to me that Americans tend to forget that, and I find that tragic.
