RE: The Age of Distrust

The new sources of communication have made us see the garbage under the rug, but also, thanks to those media, there has been a lot of manipulation, control, and disinformation. I remembered that when Chávez was a candidate, he said that he had dreamed since he was very young of being president and helping people. That message spread like wildfire, and he became president. People believed him. Then he ended up in what we all know: a monster. I believe that when we understand that politicians are not heroes or gods who come to save us, just as we demand prepared and intelligent people at the head of a company, we should demand their preparation and mental health even more swiftly from our leaders, and most importantly, when we are not so naïve, when we become more skeptical and demanding, maybe, just maybe, we can see changes in world politics. Have an excellent day and a hug, Eric.
