Biopsychosocial Networks

Humanity is getting dumber and it’s not a recent thing. Look, being an author sucks because if your idea exceeds 140 characters nobody will care. Nietzsche? They only read the Greatest Hits or Best Of edition.

And then there’s the crowd that wants to go against just to be able to trash the uncultured, so they pretend they’ve read the whole damn thing just to cite it on their knowledge list and tag stuff on Instagram. #coffee #london #rain #book #scarf #blackAndWhite #Insta[INSERT ANYTHING HERE].

The famous shelf filler.

Seriously, it’s getting worse, that’s why everyone should quit Facebook and any other crap, because of what people write. Some people seem to be drumming on the keyboard with sausages, but even so I can still bear the terrible grammar. And I’m not asking anyone to be a Shakespeare, after all the grammar nazi spirit in me is very weak.

They don’t think anymore, they can’t define an idea (formulating ideas is a task as difficult as hunting wild boars with pins for my generation and probably for the ones after), they can’t communicate through written language, they just regurgitate disconnected or common words leaving only retweets as the genuine expression of endorsed, not created, expression.

It’s weird. It’s like a B-movie cult script where people gradually lose command of language and can no longer express themselves correctly to the point where they stop communicating intelligently and start grunting.

Imagine a Snapchat of grunts, it would definitely go viral. Damn, I’m going to write about this, a post-apocalyptic world that came to exist because the human brain regressed thanks to the technology they themselves created.

This shit is genius.

Alright, I’m done writing crap, I’m out.

Laura Esteves builds worlds with words, and dismantles the ones that already exist. She writes about what hurts, what transforms and what refuses to be forgotten. She writes about love, identity and the systems that insist on defining us.

She believes literature is the only place where truth doesn't need permission. Her texts are born from the certainty that every story told with courage is an act of freedom; for whoever writes and whoever reads.
