Thomas Barrio<p>Update to the post: the critique no longer targets instrumental rationality itself, but rather the managerial, productivist, and extractivist goals that shape modern reason. Inspired by Spinoza, we distinguish the use of reason (which can be emancipatory) from its instrumentalization in the service of domination and control. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/critique" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>critique</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rationality</span></a></p><p><a href="https://homohortus31.wordpress.com/2025/05/31/du-travail-productiviste-a-la-megamachine-alienation-rationalite-instrumentale-et-domination-systemique/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">homohortus31.wordpress.com/202</span><span class="invisible">5/05/31/du-travail-productiviste-a-la-megamachine-alienation-rationalite-instrumentale-et-domination-systemique/</span></a></p>

Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱<p>I am driven by my emotions.</p><p>"Our opinions generally have emotional rather than intellectual roots, and indeed rationality largely functions as a post hoc justification. Our political opinions, ultimately, are what we feel about the world, not what we think about it. And in turn, our opinions about particular events have a lot to do with how we feel about the world in general. It’s not an exaggeration to say that most people’s views about the kind of things that happen today are extensions of concerns of their own ego. And consequently, invitations to change their minds because new facts emerge, or because old ideas are discredited by new evidence, are in fact a threat to the strength and even survival of that ego."</p><p>"But few people, especially those who have received a decent education, want to acknowledge that their views are based on emotion and not reason. They therefore try to argue".</p><p><a href="https://aurelien2022.substack.com/p/another-country" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span
