"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6970533\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mediocracy is sticking to the behaviour of the average manager. Managers do what they have to do because they feel they have to. We are, in a way, caught in a kind of encompassing game, where we dare not question the ins and outs of a problem. Above all, once again, we have to think precisely, acutely and demandingly about the interests that are at stake when a situation arises.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6970534\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Critical thinking is very much, in history, the relationship of citizens to power. Power usually promotes an ideology, that is, a perspective that is supposed to be operational and functional. It is the prerogative of power to administer things and to rely on documents that seem to be more relevant for making this or that decision. On the other hand, the opposition can engage in some critical thinking.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6970533\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La m\u00e9diocratie, c'est s'en tenir au comportement moyen d'un gestionnaire. Les gestionnaires font ce qu'il faut faire parce qu'ils sentent qu'il faut le faire. On est, en quelque sorte, pris dans une sorte de grand jeu, o\u00f9 on n'ose pas remettre en cause les tenants et les aboutissants d'un probl\u00e8me. Surtout, encore une fois, il faut r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir de mani\u00e8re pr\u00e9cise, aig\u00fce et exigeante aux int\u00e9r\u00eats qui sont en cause quand un discours surgit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6970534\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le discours critique est beaucoup, dans l'histoire, le fait des citoyennes et des citoyens envers le pouvoir. Le pouvoir, habituellement, promeut une id\u00e9ologie, c'est-\u00e0-dire un discours qui est cens\u00e9 \u00eatre op\u00e9rationnel et fonctionnel. Par ailleurs, ce sont les pr\u00e9rogatives du pouvoir que d'administrer les choses et de tabler sur des documents qui semblent plus pertinents pour prendre telle ou telle d\u00e9cision. Par contre, l'opposition peut faire preuve de pens\u00e9e critique.</p>"
