To the teenagers I want, I only give advice. Don't let them record you . I already imagine that it would be more moral to convince them to act as if they were always recording them, but with those you love, it is always more pragmatic than rigorous.

That they do not record you is a good general principle if you believe that errors should prescribe, if you feel that it is not appropriate to grant another too much power over you and if you know, as you should, that virality is much more likely to ruin you to enrich you .

I understand that this is not the most moral maxim that one can draw from the experience of the two kids who were sanctioned by the university for slapping each other in front of the camera. But a temporary expulsion was not his worst punishment either, and if he had not recorded it, they would have missed the lesson of just punishment, they would also have saved the anxiety of excessive punishment . To whom one wants to prefer to postpone a teaching, as valuable as it may be, if this avoids suffering.

In case, as is likely, I tell you, age or drunkenness or both inevitably push you to do any idiocy, it will have been useful to adopt this minimal prevention, to keep a micron of lucidity to remember that the frames do not age and that you can stay forever trapped in 10 seconds. The most sinister thing is that your idiocy, so transient and already so eternal, would make others, surely of more regular idiocy, feel more intelligent or more kind or more kind or more prudent or more honest and that such a Pharisee satisfaction of feeling it would be better to multiply and accelerate the distribution. The most sinister is the exemplarity, so viral. If you can't be exemplary, at least don't be exemplary.

If I only allow one piece of advice, it is for you to listen to and listen to the details. That when I say they don't record you, I don't just want to say they don't film you. Because as soon as you send a video, it has stopped belonging to you. Remember, I tell you, that everyone trusts at least one person who would never share a secret. At least one person And many times trust is not reciprocal.

I focus on idiocy because in a newspaper the news is in charge, and the viral idiocy was this week news, but not only the bad, the objectionable or the stupid causes dislikes. Sometimes a nightmare is derived from the most natural and pleasurable. The pleasure is non-extendable, so the only thing that may remain of that is your grimace . Remember, I conclude already knowing that I am heavy, that almost everyone thinks they are prepared for fame and nobody really is.
