So, what is important now is not to lose our ability to dream, to think, to meditate

“Tools may evolve, but they cannot replace humans. Only these human beings who live oppression and stand on the margins of life are able to tell their stories and write their reality. Only they have the right to speak about their suffering.”– Ruba

These tools are evolving, but they need a human mind to scrutinize them, review them, and inject a human footprint into them. Its development should be on the side of man, not against him; to help him perform his work faster and more accurately, not to steal his place.

It will not succeed in doing so in the first place, because it does not have what man has: spirit, vision, creativity, and the ability to express suffering.

Journalism will remain, despite the great challenges it faces due to social media and the inability to control the digital arena and the evolution of tools, but it will not disappear.

Newspapers may go from paper to electronic copies, but they won’t die. It will remain a space for creativity, for pluralism, for decision-making, and for trying to build a more aware and just society. Turn their papers into public brainstorming rooms in an effort to help society, decision-makers and policies create a better reality one day, at least.

Radio may change into podcasts, and television into digital interactive spaces, but the need for written, visual, audio or analytical content will not cease. The public, despite all this confusion, still yearns for true knowledge, craving a hearty intellectual meal in the age of “fast food“.

We see hours-long podcasts that tackle complex philosophical and historical topics, garnering millions of views and interactions. This is proof that the audience has not lost its ability to meditate, but has only been forced to flatten for long periods.

Tools may evolve, but they cannot replace humans. Only these human beings who live oppression and stand on the margins of life are able to tell their stories and write their reality. Only they have the right to speak about their suffering.

Artificial intelligence, by creating its own images, paintings, drawings and videos, may have become a “trend”, but it cannot simulate real pain or human feeling stemming from a lived experience.

No AI-generated digital image can influence as much as the real image, scenes that have cost journalists so much for their lives, health, and security.

This text is not against technology, but a call for balance, to keep man at the heart of evolution. The great efforts made by countries in the development of artificial intelligence are appreciated, and investment in this technology must always be accompanied by an awareness of the importance of the human being and his role. Because the origin is man, his experiences, his insight, and his creativity. Removing man from this context would disrupt the system.

We will not be against development, we are with it, because societies need these tools. We need it in education, health, media, services provided, and in all aspects of daily life. Because in 2025, in many countries of the world, people were supposed to have a better quality of life, not to be plunged into conflicts, wars and tragedies that eat their souls daily.

So, the system must remember: history does not go in a straight line. Rather, we live in circles, and what we call “progress” can only be a comforting illusion if not employed in the right way.

Or it may become just a momentary emotional global fascination, because previous civilizations were neither backward nor late, but preceded us in construction, in sculpture, in engineering, in knowledge, in science, in burying their secrets, in art and creativity… And maybe in the meaning.

Therefore, just as those civilizations possessed the technology that helped them build great civilizations, and then ended and perished, we must learn from the mistakes of the past by not abandoning humanity and man, and not abandoning the meaning of existence.

So, what is important now is not to lose our ability to dream, to think, to meditate.
