Overview
No vengo a decirte que el porvenir es brillante ni que vamos encaminados a una vida de felicidad y prosperidad. Tampoco vengo a alabar estas soledades en las que vivimos, sino a señalar el callejón sin salida del que no podremos escapar a menos que replanteemos lo que hoy es realmente importante. Estoy aquí para hablar de las cosas incómodas que nos esforzamos en creer que no existen: la desconfianza en los otros, la repetición autómata que sustituyó a la inteligencia, el individualismo que por fin nos explotó en la cara tras la pandemia, la precaria educación de las nuevas generaciones, la apatía, los índices de suicidio o para hablarte de un futuro asegurado tan solo para unos pocos.
Vengo a exponer el malestar en el que vivimos hoy, producto de olvidarnos de nuestro contexto, nuestros vecinos, nuestras colonias y pensar solo en nuestro propio bienestar.
Vine a jodernos el día: estoy aquí para hablar de ti.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A critique of a selfish generation that preferred the "I" to the "we"
I'm not here to tell you that the future is bright or that we're headed for a life of happiness and prosperity. Nor do I come to praise these solitudes in which we live, but to point out the impasse from which we will not be able to escape unless we rethink what is really important today.
I'm here to talk about the uncomfortable things that we strive to believe don't exist: the distrust of others, the automaton repetition that replaced intelligence, the individualism that finally blew up in our faces after the pandemic, the precarious education of the new generations, apathy, suicide rates or to talk to you about a future assured only for a few.
I come to expose the malaise in which we live today, the product of forgetting our context, our neighbors, our neighborhoods and thinking only about our own well-being.
I came to ruin our day: I'm here to talk about you.
