“He got to Tajrish Square. He had given instructions to Tara to be right next to the jigar forooshi, a liver and kidney store, a delicacy Iranians have been delighting in for centuries. The real Liver King resides in Iran. Not on TikTok. The authentic liver kings and queens have known about the health benefits of eating raw organs for thousands of years.”

“Mientras Lucca se duchaba aproveché para interactuar en mis redes. Los comentarios desagradables sobre mi peso habían ido desapareciendo, aunque en TikTok siempre había algún descerebrado que criticaba mi contenido. Era algo que no se entendía: si no te gusta no mires, ¡es tan sencillo...! Pero claro, esa gente no daba para más. Como dice Dani Rovira en su monólogo 'Odio', esa gente no tiene todos los patitos en fila en su cabeza. A veces pienso que no sabemos la suerte que tenemos con toda esta tecnología a nuestro alcance. ¿Y para qué la usamos? Para poner verde a una serie de personas que no conocemos. Para escondernos tras un perfil falso y hacer daño. Para insultar gratuitamente sin saber las consecuencias de nuestras palabras. En TikTok e Instagram la gente crea contenido porque le gusta, porque entretiene o simplemente porque le apetece. ¿Qué razones tenemos para acribillar a alguien, a su trabajo, a su manera de ser o de bailar? Es increíble, pero la empatía brilla por su ausencia.”

“Not so long ago, the dolts among us were free to think their thoughts quietly to themselves with no easy way to share them. At worst, a person would usually just embarrass himself in front of his own family or bowling team. Bad ideas had a harder time scaling and reproducing, so lots of stupidity stayed local, and everyone else could happily overestimate the average person's intelligence because they saw less of it. But then we connected everyone on the planet and gave them each the equivalent of their own printing press, radio station and TV network. Now, even those with nothing useful to say can tell the whole world exactly, or more often vaguely, what they think. . . . In theory, this is the democratization of expression. In practice, it feels like a crowdsourced lobotomy. [from "A Theory of Dumb" by Lane Brown, New York Magazine, November 17 - 30, 2025]”
