October 3: The Day After

4 October 2025

Yesterday, a reel went viral. It showed a minister and a top civil servant insulting each other in the harshest terms during a meeting attended by only ten people. Someone in that room recorded it, and someone decided to publish it—the result: a public spectacle.

It confirms what I wrote just a few days ago: there is a culture of fear inside the apparatus. It also echoes my earlier books Bruá en Prufiá. Sometimes, you don't want to be proven right. But this is Bruá in its purest form—noise, conflict, and destructive energy dominating the system.

And alongside the Bruá comes Prufiá: pretending, faking competence, bluffing your way through the job, hoping nobody notices. Together they form a toxic combination: chaos on one side, incompetence on the other.

Meanwhile, the problems are piling up. I will not even attempt to list them—there are simply too many, from the climate crisis to demographic aging. Let’s be clear: Artificial Intelligence will not magically solve these problems for us.

So, what will? The answer is still the same: democracy.
