The expression of our own opinion, an undeniable right associated to our freedom is also a test to our mental skill. We might be correct about our statement. We might even provide solid evidences. However, if we do not manage to engage with the listener or the reader, all your energy was wasted in vain.
I always have an opinion about something, and if I don't have it in a given moment, I will find it later. However, the exchange of opinions between humans have definitively changed over time. Presently, we do it in social media, we talk in coffee shops, in our work, and in our night outs... we just talk! However, from the moment a pandemic invaded our lives, a great part of these interactions moved over the internet and to social media platforms. While this led to an important opportunistic growth of fake news, trolls, and total discredit for human race (damn you Elon!), it also made me realize our human interactions are becoming more minimalistic in content (e.g. likes, supports, comments) despite the general increase in the use. So this raised the following question.. "Are we talking more about less?".
Without any wishes that this blog is associated to the premises of Seinfeld, "A show about nothing", I would like to bring to this table the discussion of opinions in a way that it can translate the complexity behind it. Opinions that cannot be depicted over Twitter's 280 characters, nor their simplified versions over Facebook or little videos from Instagram and Tick tock. Despite that, I understand the need of these platforms to focus and reduce our attention to a single and simpler items. It gives money, its easier to go viral, and relates with public engagement.
To conclude, this site relates with my personal need to express myself in a format that allows me to go deeper on each topic, while at the same time it is planned to be shared among social media for higher dissemination.
