Për përvjetorin e 555 të vdekjes së Skënderbeut, vendosa ta përkujtoj përmes një remixi nga një “DJ” universal i internetit, i cili megjithatë nuk është kompozitor a krijimtar, por thjesht një sfidë e madhe për krijimtarinë njerëzore. Sfidë që shumë shpejt me siguri do të përdoret edhe si armë.
I bëra këtë kërkesë ChatGPT-së:
Write a vivid short story about Skanderbeg in the style of Franz Kafka. Include a philosophic argument from the logics of Alain Badiou.
Once upon a time, in a small kingdom nestled in the mountains, there lived a man named Skanderbeg. He was a fierce warrior and a brilliant strategist, revered by his people for his bravery and cunning. But despite his many victories on the battlefield, Skanderbeg could not shake the feeling that something was missing from his life.
One day, as he sat alone in his castle, deep in thought, a strange figure appeared before him. It was a man dressed in a long black coat, with a twisted, angular face. “I am the messenger of Truth,” the figure said. “And I have come to offer you a choice.”
Skanderbeg was intrigued. “What choice is that?” he asked.
“The choice between the Event and the Situation,” the messenger replied. “The Event is a rupture in the ordinary course of things, a moment of radical change that alters the very fabric of reality. The Situation, on the other hand, is the status quo, the way things are and have always been. Which do you choose?”
Skanderbeg thought for a moment. He had spent his whole life fighting for the freedom of his people, and he knew that true change could only come through a decisive break with the past. “I choose the Event,” he said.
The messenger nodded, and suddenly Skanderbeg found himself transported to a strange new world. It was a world of chaos and confusion, where nothing was as it seemed and everything was in flux. But despite the disorientation he felt, Skanderbeg knew that this was the path he had chosen, and he embraced it with all his might.
In this new world, Skanderbeg found himself locked in a desperate struggle against an unseen enemy, a shadowy force that seemed to be pulling the strings of the world from behind the scenes. But despite the odds against him, Skanderbeg refused to give up. He knew that the Event he had chosen was not just a fleeting moment, but a new reality that he must fight to uphold.
As he battled on, Skanderbeg came to understand that the true enemy was not the shadowy force he fought against, but the forces of inertia and complacency that sought to keep the world locked in the same old patterns of oppression and injustice. He knew that the true struggle was not against an external enemy, but against the internalized notion of the status quo, the acceptance of the world as it is, the refusal to see the possibility of the world as it should be.
In the end, Skanderbeg emerged victorious, and the world was forever changed. But the victory was not just for himself, but for the people and the freedom that he fought for. He had chosen the event, and in doing so, he had opened the path to a new world. A world that is not predetermined, but open to the possibilities of change. Alain Badiou’s philosophy of the event states that an event is something that disrupts the ordinary course of things and brings about a new possibility, and that is what Skanderbeg had done in his kingdom.
The end.
