A Conversation with a social inhibitor

Tonight, I had a conversation with a social inhibitor

It happens all the time that someone do not agree with you on something
or does not have the same worldview as you
What can you possibly do?

Who is a social inhibitor?

if you are not...

Any ideas?

The work of André Gorz on The Politics of Time punctuates the writing in a beautiful manner and I am thankful to have been introduced to his thoughts. Finally, He invites us to get ready to o...
