The incoherence of our Worlds
& the heroes of the real news!
Socrates once stated that it is society’s job to teach, to educate the people so that they can vote. Graduating from a University is not a requirement to vote nor having a master’s degree, but simply to be educated and well-informed of the present day to understand who and what one is voting for. So here is the first of the many blockages: who decides if you are educated enough? How many of us take the time, whilst in a rat race of daily survival, to read or listen to the news?
The news fed by whom? Back in the days, philosophers asked if a penalty was given to society for not feeding the teenagers enough of the right information. That subject is vast and quite a field for confusion. When looking behind the scenes to discover how television networks are “sponsored” by a handful of wealthy organizations who are major influencers to the political parties, the citizens remain mostly helpless on our world’s chessboard of invisible players. There are laws making an exact distinction between educated and uneducated, but since many educational resources lack in such performing, this incongruity does not conclude.

The search for the “authentic self” is rapidly becoming fashionable with a greater public recognition for the theme. But we will not be closer to the answer (without deepening “how to know oneself?”) exercising caution when expressing a clear understanding at any voting or choice making. The beauty of the emotions may not disturb a decision at a simple ice cream pallor where a multi-flavored pallet can momentarily seduce and sweeten your life. Yet the ruling of exactly such emotions can also change the outcome. In a scientific project or even in a political conflict, the ground base for all information, whatever the data acquired through more than popular channels, must marry the intent of the designer. Only then the outcome can be a genuine one.
As with all missions, time and destiny seem a factor too rarely taken into consideration. The fear of not succeeding may derail a mind easily fragmented by unbalanced emotions. How moments of silence can indeed quiet our buzzing hemispheres and bring back self-confidence like the finishing touch to a childhood puzzle wrapped in brittle innocence. Where do we, in the present day, acquire the needed sources to read and investigate the truth while our planet, besides nature, reflects images of a soap opera dressed in political circus gear. Indeed, there is some kind of an enigma where humans of all ages get caught in, like in a spiderweb of artificial wiring where the intelligence seems to spring from a foreign, maybe alien fountain.
For centuries, afficionados of literature have embraced the stories by authors predicting the development of our planet and, if one chooses to believe, a takeover by artificial intelligence. It isn’t my discussion to now go deeper into this intricate subject, when there are always two sides to the same coin; maybe an A.I. coin has a manifold of faces! The fact is that history has shown how our forefathers and authors beyond the vanity of fame, have inspired communities on all continents with the written word.
To enjoy a good book, to study with anticipation that information we are tempted by, is activating different energy centers. Our imagination will be, till at least this present day, in debt to an infinite long list of writers and journalists “extraordinaire”, shining the truth through fiction and non-fiction, stimulating our knowledge, persevering in the womb of our inner wisdom the amazing human beings we can all be, if only we decide and believe we can escape the fear programs imposed upon us. Believing is seeing!
Maybe we will live side by side in a startlingly, impromptu of surprising friendship, an artificial intelligence may gift us, free of deceptions. From time without beginning, all the treasures from the libraries of the likes of Alexandria or Oxford, dazzle on an everlasting voyage to all the capitals of the planet into the homes of eager eyes considered too often as simple minds, concocting a menu to our life’s consciousness, indeed “aeternum in memoria.” As such, the heroes of the real news will always be all of us: “Scientia et investigatio semper vincat!” (Photo below: Library @ Oxford)
