Reepicheep’s diary it's about time! So mind the clock and watch it carefully!
White is fading in to grey
slowly going black
ultimately no colors will be visible
because of the darkness all around us.
It made me remember those days when here in Narnia everything was white. White because of everlasting winter.
The mountains were white, the trees of the forest were white, Lantern waste was white, no single color visible. We, speaking animals, could not distinguish colors because of the snow.
So in some way we had to be enlightened by something,something, or someone bigger, larger than life.
Luckily a miracle happened, sons of adam en eve came into our world and in doing so started fulfilling the long foretold prophecy. The great Emperor would send Aslan back to conquer the white witch.
Today there is a dark force an algorithmic darkness is spreading through the internet.
It brings out the worst in people.
Before the internet even existed, some called it a sin nowadays we call it an algorithmic badness, a programmed darkness. Aimed at generating clicks and collecting data in order to sell the collected data to the highest bidder.
It’s about the same like what the white witch did back in our white days of winter.
But the big difference with that time is that today the link is made with artificial intelligence. In a little while the quantum computer will be introduced and as soon as it can make ethical decisions we will hand over our dillemas. After all, people have an unprecedented fear of taking responsibility. Ever since the initial fall in paradise, we have been doing nothing else than pointing at the other when we are addressed, or we are hiding behind properly following prescribed protocols. Everything to get out of our responsibility.
Social media brings out the bad in people. It is fear itself that paralyzes them. In response to half-truths or downright deliberately spun lies, we react unabashedly through social media.
I am very happy that we have no such thing as social media here in Narnia. We do have our channels through which we communicate, but they are mainly in the field of barking, crying, howling, whistling and very occasionally a written announcement.
Like this written page from my diary. I will try to publish more regularly in the coming period. I understand that your world, unlike that of Narnia, is currently in great need.
Climate problems, coincidentally quite the opposite of those we have been troubled with in Narnia for centuries, so you are suffering from heat that keeps rising. Add to that the overreaction on the internet and a certain boiling point cannot be delayed.
I don't want to leave you too sad so I close this day with a good joke.
What do you call a beaver without legs?
It doesn't matter, he won't come if you call him.
Hail Aslan.
