The Prime Minister's hypernormalization of lying not only attempts to misinform or push an agenda, it actually attempts to exhaust our critical thinking, and annihilate the truth.
The Prime Minister seems obsessed with the need to ensure that by hypernormalizing lies, he distorts every cognitive ability of this nation. When he says that:
"Albania is a nation that dares to lead, not follow, at the forefront of science and technology in this region. Let me say that by creating a minister of AI, the first female minister in the world, Albania is not simply embracing the future, but is trying to do its part to design it," he in effect invents a reality that does not exist.
We are a nation that in 2024:
1) ranks 84th in the world in the Technology and Innovation Index and second to last in Europe;
2) it purchases services and technology and information products, ranking 66th in Europe in the purchase of technological inputs, but unfortunately it ranks 97th in the world and last in the Balkans in the production of technologies, i.e. in technological output;
3) ranks 84th in the Technological Network Readiness Index precisely due to low technological development;
So in short, we are clearly ranked as passive users of technological development, (like we use smartphones) we do not produce technology, much less can we claim to be a leader in the Balkans.
Unfortunately, even if the Prime Minister has decided to turn us into an experimental laboratory for the use of Artificial Intelligence in governance, we are nothing more nor less than the monkeys in the experiments of Yale professor Keith Chen.
He has shown that chimpanzees can claim to go to the moon if they are educated, but in fact, since 1961 they have only been used as test subjects to test the effects of space flight.
Stupidity unites our world more easily. In this country, no one is spared for it.
Therefore, the Prime Minister seeks to impose the false as real, the absurd as normal, the grotesque as inevitable, and foolishly offers all of this to us as an achievement.
The result it aims to achieve is not development, but a battle over reality itself. Nowhere are we debating policies anymore. Instead, we debate whether words still have meaning or whether the facts we are served exist.
By hypernormalizing the lie, the Prime Minister offers us a copy of technological development, in conditions where the original does not exist at all. He stages reality (Diella, her motherhood), edits, rewrites and processes it so that we live within the illusion of development. The border between reality and its stimulation is fading every day as development policies have turned into theater. Thus, over time, we will forget if there was ever a difference between illusion and reality.
The hypernormalization of lying is a political tool to achieve a deeply psychological goal: to make people give up their intellectual sovereignty. Moreover, the hypernormalization of lying turns pessimism into the only luxury of the mind.
The implications of the hypernormalization of lying are profound. When government distorts perception, it violates the social contract, undermines democratic legitimacy, and conceals authoritarian tendencies. Modern autocrats no longer need to burn books; they simply flood the space with lies until the truth is drowned out. The systematic dismantling of the infrastructure of facts serves to prevent rebellion no longer through force, but through the inability to recognize.
The Prime Minister's hypernormalization of lying not only attempts to misinform or push an agenda, it actually attempts to exhaust our critical thinking, and annihilate the truth.
Nje bravo e madhe per autoren. Ed Rama perben rrezik te madh eshte karakter i mpleksur me mashtrimin si lend te pare me nje psikik hipernormale te çoroditur produktin e te ciles reket tja hedh turmave injorante. Duhet shpor nje sahat me pare.
