Every day, in networks, I skip short videos of the same Zeta characters (in the generational sense and in the cinematographic sense) pontificating about things they do not know and about which they have not read either. The videos are not made in their homes but on television sets. In the comments, applause and many "well said, it's about time". Every day I regret that they always feel like a lecture but never ask any questions.
When you read this you will know the results of the municipal elections and those who are not from Madrid will stop reading about Ayuso, and those of us who are not from Valencia will stop reading about a candidate who was unknown until a comedian made an unfortunate comment about a campaign based on sexual condition and disability. We will rest (informationally) a little and continue pulling a car that weighs too much and from which we can not take anything.
At the same time the Philippics will follow. Look: I've heard twice, in the past week, that the problem with artificial intelligence is that it doesn't ask questions, that it only issues answers based on what's on the internet. And that intelligence begins by asking questions (the perpetual why of young children). I don't think anyone has ever been a better person for reading, but we can all be better if we ask ourselves questions. We will not be our best version (as personal trainers say) but we will be a more alive and more human version of the machines of production and consumption in which we are becoming. Be wary of those who seem to have the answer to everything. Ask your own questions and give yourself time to answer them. But above all, run away from anyone who sits in front of a camera or in front of an audience to explain to them what the world is like and how they have to understand it.
