INSTAGRAM: A PECULIAR FORUM

Instagram is a peculiar forum.

It is open to all and sundry, a virtual Hyde Park where every kind of crackpot can air his nonsense, absurdities, and idiocies to the rest of the idiots willing to listen.

I say this because I just heard a Spanish professor proclaim that Spanish literature is the best. After all, it has El Quijote. Obviously, he has not delved into German, French, English, Italian, Russian, or Greek literatures, to mention a few.

“Then why do you read or listen to Instagram nonsense?” you might ask. Probably because I, too, am a curious imbecile.

Whatever the case, let me emphasize: no literature is better than another. Each stands on its own.
