PUT YOUR COMMON SENSE TO THE TEST
When Questions Become Compasses…
At a time when change is celebrated as a virtue in itself, it
becomes urgent to ask a question grounded in common sense: do
we truly love change—or only the kind that comforts us and
spares us the effort of thinking? And when we criticize
everything and its opposite, is it out of a sense of justice…
or simply out of automatism, dictated by the spirit of the
age?
Why do so many of our contemporaries seem to have given up
thinking for themselves? Is it intellectual laziness, fear of
rejection, or simply the habit of not disturbing the peace?
Common sense whispers that it is absurd to say, « Don’t touch
my affairs, but go ahead with the neighbor’s,” as if moral
coherence had become optional. »
Education, once the pillar of transmission, is faltering. Have
we raised child-kings, shielded from frustration but exposed
to ideological injunctions? Does society still guide
education—or has it outsourced this mission to institutions
that confuse formation with formatting? Once again, common
sense reminds us: to educate is not to condition.
And what if we dared name the elephant in the room:
indoctrination in schools. Are our colleges and universities
still places of knowledge, or laboratories of woke ideology,
where one learns less to think than to conform? If national
memory is no longer transmitted, how can we be surprised that
some young people no longer know what they stand for, or even
where they come from?
The family nucleus, long the foundational cell of society, is
it still recognized as such? Or has it been relegated to just
another cultural option? Do we still protect our fundamental
values, or have we traded them for hollow slogans and
on-demand emotions? Common sense urges us not to confuse
open-mindedness with the abandonment of reference points.
Artificial intelligence, both fascinating and unsettling,
forces us to ask an essential question: is it a tool serving
humanity, or an entity poised to replace it? Is it an
extension of our mind, or a substitute that risks eclipsing
it? Here again, common sense reminds us that technology must
remain our ally, not our replacement.
And while we debate all this, a strange moral inversion takes
hold: why so much empathy for criminals, and so little for
victims? Why do some defend illegal immigration, even when it
amounts to cutting the grass from under their own feet? Why
has it become acceptable, even celebrated, to wish death upon
another human being, as long as they belong to the « wrong
camp »? Yet common sense knows no camp, it knows human
dignity.
Elections, far from being mere democratic rituals, have
tangible consequences, even in our daily lives. And yet, some
do not hesitate to invent stories to defend their political
ideas, as if truth had become a mere accessory to
communication.
Do unions still defend workers, or are they trying to impose
their vision on politicians? Do judges still apply the law, or
are they rewriting it through activist interpretation? Legal
common sense reminds us that the law is not an ideological
playground.
And what of the convergence between cultural Marxism and
radical Islamism? Is it an ideological alliance, or a
strategic opportunism in Western social struggles? Historical
common sense invites us not to confuse just causes with
dubious alliances.
