THE OLODOS WE CLAPPED FOR.

dear committee, the uprising happened.you just didn't notice because we livestreamed it. we gave it likes. we gave it shares. we gave it microphones. and then we wondered why it got louder. because the olodos didn't come with stones and weapons.they came with certificates and credentials. laminated.framed.posted.bsc.msc.pgd. they came with ring lights and thirty-second opinions. they came with followers.200k.500k.1 million.and we clapped. because confidence now sounds like competence.because speaking fast now sounds like thinking deeply.because good transitions can hide bad ideas. and this is what the uprising looks like. it looks like a graduate who can recite notes but cannot explain them. a mind trained to pass exams,not to ask questions. it looks like someone who hasn't finished one book in years,yet has an opinion on politics,medicine,theology,economics,relationships...all before breakfast. attention span of a goldfish.memory of a screenshot.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/file_0000000017d081f4801f938dd05571ea.png"/> it looks like people calling doomscrolling "research."fifteen reels.three podcasts.zero reflection. it looks like creators who really create nothing.they react.they repost.they rename someone else's opinion and call it a "hot take." it looks like comment sections where nobody reads beyond the headline.where we argue with titles instead of ideas.where understanding is optional,but outrage is compulsory. where "olodo" has become an insult we throw at strangers,without realizing we're rewarding the very behaviour we claim to condemn. because every click is applause. every share is a vote. every follow says,"I like this. give me more of this." it looks like people who decided money is the only metric. character became negotiable. integrity got a price tag. truth became whatever performs best or trends best. because if ignorance pays,someone will always sell it.and someone else will always applaud it. ignorance doesn't become influential by itself. audiences elect it. so the tragedy isn't that ignorance exists.it always has. the tragedy is that we reward what entertains us more than what teaches us. the olodos didn't win because they were smarter.they won because we rewarded them. we reward whoever is loudest. whoever is famous. whoever has money. whoever confirms what we already believe. we stopped asking,"is this true?"and started asking,"is this trending?" so yes,the uprising happened.not because ignorance became stronger.but because we kept rewarding it.because we kept endorsing it. every like.every share.every follow.every laugh.every time we chose noise over knowledge.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/file_00000000035481f49d37fbb9df7dee91.png"/> maybe the uprising didn't begin with the olodos.maybe it began the moment we applauded them.the moment we clapped for them.
