In the context of human history, every era has had its innovators, researchers, misunderstood individuals, and nonconformists who never accepted an absolute, indisputable truth. For this, they paid the prices that the prevailing mentality of each era demanded. But it is thanks to these heroes of innovative ideas that humanity has been progressing and renewing itself. These enlightened individuals paid with their lives, many tortured before the comfort of death, for defending what they truly believed in.

​

The evolution of human thought has followed this pace throughout the ages. A pace that is often violent, putting us at the tail end of history many times. If we take isolated parts from various eras, we will see that innovators, researchers, thinkers, alchemists, witches, writers, painters, actors, musicians—in short, those who did not succumb to the stagnation of ideas that dictate what is indisputable truth—were punished at various stages and times. They were thrown into prisons, dungeons, towers, and many were burned, hanged, shot, banned, expelled, humiliated, and some years or centuries later, deified and called geniuses of humanity, the chosen ones.

​

If we look at just the last century, we see that the Communist Revolution advocated for equal rights but also went too far in judging these equalities, in contrast to the exaggerated capitalism focused on individual or a select group’s accumulation of material wealth. In both contexts, we find dissenters, innovators, researchers, writers, and artists who were also persecuted and punished, just as in other past eras, like the Religious Inquisitions and so on. In this new century, we follow the same norms and rules imposed by these dictators of morality, religion, politics, and justice, who persist in dictating their indisputable truths in their small evolutions as Thinking Beings, but as miserable Humans. And woe to those who oppose their ideas, which they dictate as the only ones in terms of morality, religion, politics, justice, and truth. They are punished just as in Ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, the Last Century, or this new Century we are beginning. They are banned, persecuted, prevented, isolated, imprisoned, hospitalized, expelled, humiliated, tortured, and killed. Just look at the intolerances of our current days, in the East and the West, the impositions of wills, ideas, religion, politics, power, money, morals, truths, and even ethics.

But in these muddy waters, there always emerge people in every era who manage to clear a bit of the mud from their eyes and minds and do not settle like the vast, truly vast majority who become complicit in these situations, creating a stagnant union with sameness. Thanks to this Select Group of People in every era, we can spice up this marriage of stagnation with sameness. We create, in many of these unions, the desire for change, creativity, and initiatives to realize the dreams of a more supportive collective. We are also punished for dreaming of these possibilities of a world—not wanting to be a repetitive and cheesy presumptuous person—but yes, dreaming of a better world for all living beings, humans, and animals. Sometimes, I even dream of those sci-fi movies where Earth is threatened by an Alien invasion, and only Humans unite to prevent this invasion. Will it only be possible to unite races and objectives if we face such a threat from cinematic fiction? Why do we continue to be slaves to cliques that only aim for their selfish values and do everything to remain in power, like untouchable gods?
