Ángel Martín: ‘Somos Monos’

(ES)

“Humans only use 10% of their brains.”

A few years ago, people said this statement was false.

However, these days I think it’s true.

In fact, there are people who use 0% of theirs.

Just as there are 0.0% beers, there are also 0.0% brains.

Have you ever taken something out of a closet and, when you went to

put it away, found yourself opening the fridge instead?

Exactly.

But it’s not your fault—it’s the internet’s.

Ever since it’s existed, we’ve been falling off cliffs for the sake of

a like, we don’t know how to fry an egg without a tutorial, and

we’re even afraid to voice our opinions in case someone who

lives 10,000 km away insults us.

Little by little, we’ve been shutting down our brain’s engine.

Fortunately, I have a solution to get it going again.

Of course, we’ll have to step in a puddle or two.

But I’d rather do it sooner rather than later, or we’ll end up

realizing that we’re just monkeys.
