problem about an expression “abêtissez-votis”

Abêtissez-votis is meaningless in French (or as a mixture of French and Latin).

The explanation is the text you read was improperly transcribed because of an OCR or similar issue. The letter u is sometimes confused with the sequence of letters ti.

The text then reads abêtissez-vous which means something like “make yourself dumber”, a famous quote from Pascal.
