It is fascinating to observe certain forums. Suddenly, a wave of newcomers appears, all fervent fans of Forbidden Desire Remake and Miranda, ready to be outraged by anything, as if they were the absolute guardians of truth. One kicks the ball, another rebounds, and everyone acts surprised as if the world were seeing it for the first time. The almost identical registration dates only confirm the collective choreography, nothing says spontaneity like joining en masse at the same time.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Venezuela manages to produce Nobel Prize winners even amid chaos, yet some prefer to believe that talent and merit only exist in Europe. In Europe, of course, there is glamour and tradition, but also excessive rules, cultural centralization, and that charming elitism that stifles any creativity that does not come from the right circles.
In Brazil, the tragicomedy is complete. A failing educational system combined with high levels of functional illiteracy ensures an abundance of strong opinions and little critical thinking. And here comes the cherry on top, classic pseudo-intellectuality, the masterful ability to accuse others of pretending to know while displaying talent of superficiality. It is the art of speaking beautifully without saying anything.
In the end, the lesson is clear. Genuine talent can arise anywhere, but nothing is more entertaining than watching people point out pseudo-intellectuality in others while practicing exactly the same thing with pride.
Oh, and just for the record, I also like Forbidden Desire Remake and Miranda.
