Dear Global Village,

"LIFE is a beautiful magnificent thing, even to a dragonfly"¹ stated Chaplin. /

I'm 17 years old and I care about the living planet.² / How to explain the fact that the most intellectual creature ever to walk planet Earth is destroying its only home?³ / Perhaps a new type of thinking is essential if Mankind dreams to exist long? ⁴ /

Leonardo da Vinci said that "nothing deceives us as much as our own judgement".⁵ / In the next few years, our social choices will influence the course of human life for multiple generations to come.⁶ / So how about we quickly create new ways to sort the true from the false? And why don't we team up to "play fact-checking"? ⁷ /

Sometimes we have to view things from a distance in order to see the real truth.⁸ / Every prejudice is a contagious disease, and fact-checking is the best antidote.⁹ / For our social debates to work, we have to actually believe in an objective reality based on verified facts. Otherwise, there is no basis for COOPERATION.¹⁰ /

Our future vivaciously needs a fact-loving collective brain! ¹¹ / To better protect Nature means to better protect ourselves.¹² / Whether we're left-wing or right-wing, our war on Nature must end.⁺ /

For sure, a great love of facts will be needed to reconcile economy and ecology. So why don't we start living in the "fact-checking era" as of 2020?^♥ /

“What a funny time when it's easier to smash an atom than a prejudice!”

“Es ist schwieriger eine vorgefasste Meinung zu zertrümmern als ein Atom.”

-Einstein

“I care about climate justice and the living planet. (...) In the year 2078, I will celebrate my 75th birthday. If I have children maybe they will spend that day with me. Maybe they will ask me about you. Maybe they will ask why you didn't do anything while there still was time to act. You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes.”

- Greta Thunberg

“Everything happens as if we were waging a war against Nature... and we know that if we win, we are lost. So the question arises: is intelligence a poisoned gift? Was it a good idea for Nature to have given us the intelligence if that intelligence would eliminate us?”

“Tout se passe comme si nous menions une guerre contre la Nature... et nous savons que si nous gagnons, nous sommes perdus. Alors la question se pose: l'intelligence est-elle un cadeau empoisonné? Est-ce que c'était une bonne idée, pour la Nature, de nous avoir donné l'intelligence si cette intelligence devait nous éliminer?”

- Reeves

“Simply put: if we don't protect Nature, we can't protect ourselves.”

- Harrison Ford

“Sometimes you have to view things from a distance in order to see the real truth. It is America’s destiny to be at the forefront of humanity’s eternal quest for knowledge and to be the leader amongst nations on our adventure into the great unknown. And I could say the great and very beautiful unknown. Nothing more beautiful.”

- Donald J. Trump

“That’s how America’s Founders intended our system to work – that through the testing of ideas and the application of reason and proof it would be possible to arrive at a basis for common ground. And I should add for this to work, we have to actually believe in an objective reality. (...) You have to believe in facts. Without facts, there is no basis for cooperation. If I say this is a podium and you say this is an elephant, it’s going to be hard for us to cooperate.”

- Barack Obama

“For here am I sitting in a tin can. Far above the world, planet Earth is round, and right now, I’ve no further doubt ♫.”

“OUR HOUSE IS BURNING AND WE LOOK ELSEWHERE. Nature, mutilated and over-exploited, is no longer able to recover and we refuse to admit it. Humanity suffers. It suffers from underdevelopment, in both North and South, and we are indifferent. The earth and humanity are in peril and we are all responsible for it. It is time, I think, to open our eyes. → (Johannesburg, 2002)”

“NOTRE MAISON BRÛLE ET NOUS REGARDONS AILLEURS. La nature, mutilée, surexploitée, ne parvient plus à se reconstituer et nous refusons de l'admettre. L'humanité souffre. Elle souffre de mal-développement, au Nord comme au Sud, et nous sommes indifférents. La terre et l'humanité sont en péril et nous en sommes tous responsables. Il est temps, je crois, d'ouvrir les yeux. → (Johannesburg, 2002)”

- Chirac

“Give Facts a Chance ? ♫”

- Lennon

“It’s too easy for misinformation to spread on the web!”

“Today, most people find news and information on the web through just a handful of social media sites and search engines. These sites make more money when we click on the links they show us. And, they choose what to show us based on algorithms which learn from our personal data that they are constantly harvesting.”

“The net result is that these sites show us content they think we’ll click on – meaning that misinformation, or ‘fake news’, which is surprising, shocking, or designed to appeal to our biases can spread like wildfire.”

“And through the use of data science and armies of bots, those with bad intentions can game the system to spread misinformation for financial or political gain.”

- Berners-Lee

“It is ignorance, not knowledge, that makes enemies of men.”

- Annan

“Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hate, and hate leads to violence. This is the equation.”

- JFK

“Ne tenez pour certain que ce qui est démontré.”

- Isaac Newton

“Aucun de nous ne sait ce que nous savons tous, ensemble.”

- Euripides

“May our choices reflect our hopes, not our fears.”

- Shakespeare

“A fundamental question is becoming more and more pressing: will the contemporary planetary crisis end as a result of the determined action of Earthlings... or because Earthlings have become extinct?”

“Une question fondamentale se pose d’une façon de plus en plus pressante: la crise planétaire contemporaine prendra-t-elle fin grâce à l'action déterminée des Terriens ou par leur disparition ?”

- Shaw

“It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.”

- Pasteur

“Unite behind the science, that is our demand. Talk to the scientists, listen to them.”

-45 Greta Thunberg
