This has been especially valuable for freeing us from the idiocy of referring to Kmtyw thought as "philosophy", and the types epistemological tethers that keep such a term firmly anchored to Eureurasia.
"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."

Hii ni nguvu sana! This is very powerful! Asante kwa kugawa. Thanks for sharing.

I hope that you have a recording of your initial presentation of this. I'm sure that its actual presentation brings a dynamic energy.

No, they want compliant subjects, who as a matter of their own adjustment to their subordination, unnaturally suppress memory. Memory, left untended, might otherwise inform them as to who they are, who their enemy is, and what they should be doing. Far easier to accept the enemy's paradigm and social order and simply make due.

Aren't there sectors of our community where survival is the highest idea? But what kind of survival are we speaking of?

It is a magnificent work of behavior management that we are kept as we are--self-managing instruments of eureurasiaan power, unable or unwilling to either think for ourselves and deal forthrightly with the reality before us.

Breaking those chains is central in his work. Fighting over words in english, derived from greek, derived from sbA is a distraction/diversion at best. Conceptual baggage and the equal sign that invariably obliterates our indigenous concepts have got to go.

@Heru Djet I reached out to Dr. Joseph Ben Levi this morning to see if he will join us here on abibitumikasa.
