I was a prisoner of #Twitter

This phrase is not just words, but a reality I lived with all its details. It reached a point where I was defending a world that wasn’t mine and principles that weren’t mine. I don’t regret distancing myself from it, deleting it, and throwing it in the trash. The standards set by its leaders were enough to make me want to burn my phone, but as I said, I was a prisoner, following the people of money. I didn’t realize that they had nothing to do with freedom, but I was drawn to the well-crafted words. Now, after four and a half months, I have learned what freedom truly means. Twitter is still a large black box, and for those who can decipher its code.

‏🚨 Colombian President Challenges Trump After Agreeing to Transport Refugees on Presidential Plane

Colombian President Gustavo Petro announces a 50% tariff on products coming from the United States.

He challenges Trump, saying: "You can never subjugate us."

"Let our people grow corn, and let this plant feed the world. I will not bow before the United States."

"I don't like your oil, Trump. You will destroy humanity through greed."

"You may see us as an inferior race, Trump, but we are not."

"If you want to know someone stubborn, it's me."

"True, thanks to your economic power and arrogance, you might try to overthrow me like you did with Allende. But I will die according to my own principles... I resisted torture and I will resist you too."

"I do not want the supporters of slavery beside Colombia, because we’ve seen enough of slaves and have become free."

"What I want beside Colombia are lovers of freedom."

"You may kill me, but I will live on in my people."

"The American continent existed before you."

"We are the people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and freedom."

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t like our freedom."

"I don’t shake hands with white slave traders."

"I shake hands with libertarian whites, the heirs of Lincoln, and with the young black and white farmers in the United States—whom I’ve cried and prayed for their graves."

"They are the United States and I bow to them, not to anyone else."

"Colombia no longer looks north, but to the world. Our blood comes from the blood of the Andalusian Caliphate; from the civilization of that time."

"Our blood comes from the Latin Roman Empire in the Mediterranean, from the civilization of that time. One of those who founded the republic and democracy in Athens."

"Our blood comes from the resisting blacks whom you enslaved."

"Colombia is the first free land in America, before Washington."

"I turn to those lands filled with African songs."

"My land is the land of gold crafting that existed in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and the early artists of the world in Cheribiquet."

"You can never subjugate us."

"Your obstacles do not scare me, because Colombia, in addition to being a land of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty just like I do. If you respect it, it will offer you its sweetness."

Dead Horse Theory

It is a sarcastic metaphor illustrating how some people, organizations, or nations deal with an obvious problem as if it is not clear. Instead of acknowledging the truth, they ignore it and come up with justifications. The basic idea is simple: if you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best and simplest solution is to get off and leave it. However, in reality, there are people or institutions that, instead of getting off the horse, take other actions, such as:

Bringing a new saddle Instead of acknowledging that the horse is dead, they try to make the horse more comfortable, thinking it will solve the problem.

Bringing feed for the horse They keep feeding the horse, even though it's dead, hoping that some external factor will somehow bring it back to life.

Changing the rider They replace the rider, assuming a new person might make a difference even though the horse is still dead.

Firing the employee in charge and hiring a new one – They blame the person in charge of the horse’s care and replace them, expecting that a new person will magically fix the problem, ignoring the fundamental issue.

Holding meetings to discuss ways to make the horse faster – They waste time in meetings discussing how to improve the horse’s performance, despite the fact that it cannot be improved because it is already dead.

Forming committees and work teams to study the dead horse and analyze the issue from every angle – They create committees to study the horse, conducting extensive analyses over months, only to conclude that the horse is, indeed, dead.

The committees conclude the same thing that was obvious from the start: the horse is dead – After wasting all the time and effort, the committees reach the same obvious conclusion, which was clear from the very beginning.

In spite of the wasted effort and resources, they refuse to face the truth – To justify their actions, they compare the dead horse with other dead horses, suggesting the horse isn’t dead because it lacks training and needs a training course.

The training course requires increasing the horse’s budget – They suggest the horse’s performance could improve with more funding for training, even though the horse is beyond saving.

Finally, they redefine the word "dead" to convince themselves that the horse is still alive – They manipulate the definition of "dead" to comfort themselves into believing the horse is not truly dead, even though it clearly is.

The lesson from this theory reveals how many people prefer to stay in denial of the reality and waste their time and energy on futile attempts, rather than accepting the problem from the start and solving it.
