00:00In the first few seconds, even before any certainty has formed, a question needs to resonate loudly.
00:08When does a society reach the point where it no longer recognizes itself?
00:13There are moments in history when signs don't appear like an isolated thunderclap.
00:18but like a constant whisper repeated so many times that it starts to sound normal.
00:23It is precisely in this nebulous territory that the comparison arises, a comparison that many avoid making.
00:29but which are now urgently needed.
00:32Contemporary Brazil and the symbolic portrayal of Sodom and Gomorrah, cities immortalized,
00:39not only because of the destruction, but also because of the moral warning it served for centuries.
00:44The biblical narrative speaks not only of sin in its religious sense,
00:49But it's a society that has lost its sense of limits, consequences, and collective responsibility.
00:56What made Sodom and Gomorrah emblematic was not a single act,
01:02but the normalization of excess, the celebration of deviance as virtue.
01:07and the transformation of intimacy into spectacle.
01:11And it is precisely at this point that the comparison begins to bother me.
01:16because it doesn't point to an isolated event, but to an ongoing process,
01:21slow, continuous and, for many, irreversible.
01:25Brazil is currently undergoing a profound transformation.
01:29which doesn't only happen in laws, institutions, or the economy,
01:34but in the collective imagination.
01:36What was once treated with reservation, reflection, and care,
01:40It is now displayed shamelessly, often without any sense of consequence.
01:46Sexuality, which has always been part of human nature,
01:49It ceased to be experienced as intimacy and became a social currency.
01:54A validation tool and, in many cases, merchandise available to the public.
02:00This is not about shallow moralizing, but about observing how the trivialization of everything...
02:05It silently corrodes that which sustains a healthy society.
02:10When young, while still developing, they begin to understand their own sexuality.
02:16not as a process of maturation,
02:19But like a trophy to be displayed, something essential is lost.
02:24The idea that early and cumulative experiences
02:27Defining personal worth is a symptom of a larger emptiness.
02:32a void fueled by social media,
02:34due to a culture of comparison and a constant need for approval.
02:38The problem isn't just the behavior,
02:41but in the message that crystallizes.
02:44Everything is valid, everything is allowed, as long as it generates tension.
02:48Marriage, which for centuries has symbolized commitment,
02:53joint construction and mutual responsibility.
02:57It is also undergoing a disturbing metamorphosis.
03:00What was once seen as an intimate pact,
03:03Today it is often transformed into a stage.
03:06Marital relationships are no longer lived in the silence of the home.
03:08and become exposed, negotiated and, in some cases,
03:13explored as entertainment.
03:15It's not the diversity of choices that is surprising,
03:19but the public celebration of the dissolution of any border
03:22between the private and the spectacular.
03:25The constant exposure of married life on digital platforms.
03:29It reveals a reversal of values that is difficult to ignore.
03:34Intimacy, once protected, becomes a commodity.
03:38Affection, once built up, becomes performance.
03:43Loyalty, once a principle, is now treated as an optional detail.
03:48And when all of this is applauded, liked, and monetized,
03:52This creates a dangerous cycle in which external validation
03:56It replaces the inner sense of dignity and respect.
04:00There is a crucial moment in every society when the question ceases to be...
04:04What is permitted becomes what destroys us.
04:09The normalization of partner swapping as a public spectacle,
04:13The romanticization of the absence of limits and the transformation of the body into a showcase.
04:17They don't just appear out of nowhere.
04:20They are the fruits of a culture that confuses freedom with a total absence of responsibility.
04:26True freedom presupposes awareness.
04:29Informed choice and respect for the consequences.
04:32When these pillars disappear, all that remains is momentum.
04:37Another unsettling sign of this transformation is in the way work is being redefined.
04:44For a growing segment of young people, the idea of effort,
04:48gradual construction and professional development
04:51gives way to promises of quick gains,
04:55based on the extreme exposure of the body and intimacy.
04:59Digital platforms create the illusion of absolute autonomy.
05:04while silently trapping themselves in a logic of continuous consumption of their own image.
05:13The problem is not the technology itself,
05:16but the void of purpose that she then fills.
05:20When prostitution is rebranded with softer names,
05:24when selling one's body is presented as automatic empowerment,
05:28without any in-depth discussion about the psychological, social, and future impacts,
05:36Something essential is being masked.
05:39It's not about judging individuals,
05:41but to question the system that profits from vulnerability,
05:44with haste and a lack of broader perspectives.
05:48A society that teaches its young people to sell themselves before they even know themselves.
05:52He's somehow giving up on them.
05:56The shock doesn't just come from the existence of these behaviors,
05:59But it depends on how they are celebrated.
06:02What once would have caused astonishment now generates applause.
06:05What once would have been a cause for reflection is now becoming a trend.
06:09And that is exactly how Sodom and Gomorrah are described.
06:14Not like cities of isolated mistakes,
06:16but as communities that have lost the ability to question themselves.
06:20When everything is normal, nothing is sacred.
06:23When nothing is sacred, everything can be discarded.
06:28Brazil, with its cultural, spiritual, and human richness,
06:33Today, he faces this silent dilemma.
06:36On one side, there are speeches that defend absolute freedom without any checks and balances.
06:42On the other hand, there is a growing void of meaning.
06:46of belonging and collective responsibility.
06:49The comparison with Sodom and Gomorrah is not a desire for condemnation.
06:54But it's a symbolic warning.
06:56It's a reminder that societies don't collapse solely due to external crises.
07:01but due to internal, almost invisible erosion,
07:05which are eroding fundamental values.
07:08There's a vague feeling that something is out of place.
07:11An unease that can't be resolved with likes.
07:14followers or views.
07:16A perception that, despite so much exposure,
07:21Never before have we been so devoid of meaning.
07:24And perhaps that's the most disturbing point.
07:28The more you show off, the less you find.
07:31The more one consumes, the less satisfied one becomes.
07:35The more excess is normalized, the more what is essential is lost.
07:39This narrative does not seek to impose a single moral code.
07:42nor ignore the complexity of the modern world.
07:46It does seek to provoke reflection.
07:48To ask how far a society can go.
07:50before it becomes unrecognizable.
07:53To question whether we are truly making progress.
07:56or just speeding up
07:58Towards an abyss disguised as progress.
08:02Remember that not everything that is popular is healthy.
08:05And not everything that generates engagement builds a future.
08:09In the silence, between one like and another,
08:12Perhaps there is still room for choice.
08:15Choose conscious boundaries.
08:17through deeper relationships,
08:18for values that do not depend on constant exposure.
08:22The story of Sodom and Gomorrah
08:23It has spanned millennia.
08:26not because it talks about punishment,
08:27But because it reveals the destiny of a society.
