From "Masculin Feminin"
the children of Marx and Coca-Cola
are placid in a sea of social upheaval
Gradually over these three months I came to realize that these questions did not reflect but deformed the collective mentality.
My lack of objectivity even when unconscious, tended to provoke a predictable lack of sincerity in those I was polling.
Unawares, I was deceiving them and being deceived by them.hy?
Probably because polls and surveys quickly veer from their true goal, the observation of behavior , and instead insidiously go for value judgments
I discovered that the questions I would ask French people expressed an ideology that reflects not present mores but those of the past.
So I had to be on my guard. I used some random notions as guidelines:
"A philosopher posits his conscience against opinion."
"To have a conscience is to be open to the world."
"To be faithful is to act as if time didn't exist."
"Wisdom would be to see life, truly see it. That would be wisdom."
