A Letter from Me to Me…

The author addresses his younger self, "Dimos," to prepare him for the changes he will encounter in the political arena. He predicts an era where politics will be superficial, toxic, and filled with spectacle, with an emphasis on image and entertainment rather than ideas and principles. He warns of the dominance of shallowness, ignorance, and emptiness, as well as the absence of a moral code and true role models. He points out that knowledge and conscience will be deemed suspicious, while success will depend on the ability to manipulate and self-promote. The author urges "Dimos" to maintain his authenticity and not become part of this system, as conformity will lead to unfortunate outcomes. The letter is a biting critique of contemporary politics and a warning about the loss of values.
