Do you believed that it was closed? Did you think that Xochitl was going to win? It may be the fault of your algorithm, yes, that one that makes you feel every day more and more time on social networks.
On June 2, took place the most important elections in the country, not only by the amount of people who participated, but by what that meant. In these elections was the winner Claudia Sheinbaum, the party's Brown, who will be the first woman president of Mexico. The victory was resounding, with a significant difference, as confirmed by both the PREP as the quick count.
A victory that for many it seems irrational, that does not correspond to the amount of people that we saw in the boxes, to public demonstrations against the continuation of the government that she represented. How is this possible?
What happens is that we live in an age where algorithms play a crucial role in what we consume and how we perceive it. These algorithms filter the information in a very precise way, showing us only what we want to see, reinforcing our beliefs and biases. That's why, for many, the result seems crazy, something irrational and impossible to understand. We have fed information that has been selected specifically for us, creating a bubble that distorts our perception of reality. You're not alone, we are many, and we're not just biased in the political-electoral. We are in virtually everything.
The situation is so relevant, so riskythat should motivate us to disengage a bit from social networks, to find less exposure, to care for more of our privacy and provide less personal information. To understand how these algorithms and how they manipulate our perceptions, we can begin to question the veracity of the information that we consume.
What we hid our algorithm is not a small thing, it is a reality that is raw, that is sad. It is the reality that we say that we know, but when we have to deal with it we are unable to. It is the reality that there are at least two Mexicos. A Mexico that is in the majority and who approves of the way by the which is going to the president. This is the Mexico that do not care about authoritarianism, that doesn't see a problem in that the government will have a majority in Congress, which is indifferent to the lack of medicines, and that you agree to the corruption they had the president and their children. This is the Mexico that many, including myself, believed that it was much smaller.
There is also the other Mexico, that says that, to support the president and Brunette, one would have to be complicit in the corruption or would have to be very naive. That Mexico that prefers to go back to vote for the PRI, without recognizing that it was the breeding ground for the problem which we live today. In Mexico, we believe that the free market, the separation of powers and the way by which we were going was not so bad.
The dwellers in that second of Mexico we should, at least today, to recognize that it is impossible that 6 of every 10 mexicans are corrupt, or naive, not to say silly.
We have to recognize that the mexicans, all, them and us, we have a different vision of what we want in the country, and ourselves in a position of superiority will not do another thing be sure to follow us moving, keep creating gaps that are used by those who are corrupt.
For my part, although I still believe that democracy is at risk, the economy is bad and that the path of socialism proposed by this government is wrong, I have to admit that I was wrong. Mexico has a face that I don't know at all, and my task for the next few months, maybe even years, will be to try to understand that Mexico.
I invite you to this year we all. To support the National Institute of Elections, we do not feel tempted to speak of a fraud that we know that at least in the polls in elections by the citizens, did not exist.
I invite you to identify what that is so large that we are not able to see, that which gives carte blanche to the government to take medication to children with cancer, to profit personally with government projects and information hiding.
Before you start thinking about the future of Mexico, we must understand the present. What ghost is they see that we not? What is bigger the lies, the falsehood and theft, that the mexicans prefer it all?
And while we look for that truth, that today the election result shows that there is, I encourage you to pursue caring for a lot of our algorithm, that again can make us believe that we live in a bubble that does not exist.
