So the sun rises on the first day of January and it is a new year. This one we are calling 2025. It is like magic, like if everything on our plane of reality knew that a year had ended the night before and a new one was dawning. Well, we have to put up with, and even celebrate, these constraints on reality that us, society, humanity, whatever, have put upon ourselves. But is it real? Pardon me, but I do not believe it. Why I have even heard rumours (or conspiracy theories?) that way back in the middle ages a pope added 300 years to the calendar so that his reign could coincide with the new millennium!
But who knows, I mean none of us were around back in those days, not even the ones who deny anything and everything in the name of rationalism. In any event, we have shaped our reality with rules, with calendars, and now with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and notice how we must actually (in the English language) capitalise those two insignificant little words. Algorithms rule the world by controlling us and everything that we do. We (the collective «we») does not have to think any more. AI thinks for us. Our public opinion is shaped by bots that control the internet. Oh, you did not know that 90% of the internet is not real, it is run by bots? Well live and learn.
Yet, it is New Year’s Day and I want to join in the festivities and in congratulating each and every one of you who has followed VALENCIARTIST, who has collaborated with us and who has participated in our discussions throughout 2024. You are my friends. I have also gained so much from your blogs, your opinions and your knowledge and I thank you.
I would like to dedicate the song on the video below to a good friend and fellow musician from the 1990’s, a remarkable Latin percussionist, Ray «Conga» Díaz. Rey made this recording possible back in 1999 when we were waiting for the new year, the new century and the new millennium. Thank you Rey, I will miss you my friend.
GRACIAS – CHEERS
Feliz 2025
