Facebook is accessible for almost nothing, whereas EQPT (Quality Education for All) is much less so. This undoubtedly explains certain phenomena frequently encountered on this communication network, which lacks intellectual administrators or cultural prescribers. The venting of the masses gains what ‘a certain idea’ loses: the willingness to step back, a posture of distance, a concern for moderation, an attitude of caution, and a scruple for truthfulness.
It is in vain to address a serious, complex, and arduous subject on Facebook. Fortunately, for the sake of common sense, the ‘we-just-need-to’ and ‘we-must’ approaches regularly fail to solve issues that challenge the greatest minds and the best intellects. Faced with the intrinsic difficulties of certain subjects, both threatening simplism and peremptory populism have, quite healthily, an effectiveness close to zero.
There are so many concepts to grasp within the framework of an EQPT civic education: intellectual honesty and the decency of one’s remarks; capitalizing on values and the non-negotiation of principles; convictions enhanced by breadth of vision and open-mindedness; the love of learning, the legitimate pride of knowing, and the humility at the foot of all that remains to be known.
In this posture, which is already a philosophy of life, where should we place the ‘Ho an’ny Tanindrazana’ (For the Fatherland), the motto of the Military Academy, the national school for officers? ‘Ho an’ny Tanindrazana’: For the Fatherland, for the Motherland, for Madagascar. A smallest common denominator that should allow us to transcend trivialities and elevate the debate, even on Facebook.
