Voltaire naye alikua mchokozi. Page two of Candide and he has already strawmanned Leibniz philosophies of sufficient reasons and best of all possible worlds 😂

Our discussion this month is on the often unheard side of voter expectations. Unlike side A of the cassette with the replayable hits (tribalism, and patronization politics), the presenter asks us to look at Wanjiku through an alternative lens.
The discussion will be led by Mariga Kamau,who insists on no other introduction apart from the fact that he is a patriot.

Libertarianism like every other right wing ideology ends in a disaster. Paraguay, Argentina. Next?
Argentina is officially in recession. The free market dream is over.
Under Milei:
- 32,300 businesses closed
- Industry, construction & retail wiped out
- Only growth sectors are financial speculation & sale of natural resources
- 1/3 people in poverty

Classical European music is so boring, dull and limited compared to the amazing richness, fullness and complexity of African or Arab music, and other native musical traditions from around the world. It really is only fit for producing psychopaths, because of how narrow it is and how seriously it takes itself.
The supposed supremacy of this specific genre is just another absurd colonial joke that we learned to accept as a fact of life. In reality, it is rubbish and no one wants to hear it, and many villages in Africa (or latin America) you never heard about have music that no classical composer could ever dream of making
Only 46 measures. Approximately 4 minutes. Mozart wrote “Ave Verum Corpus” in June 1791 — near the end of his life. So simple it's almost bare, yet it contains the heavens. Leonardo Bernstein conducted it at Waldsassen Cathedral in 1990 — slowly, lovingly, as if unwilling to leave each note. A miracle in a small package.

"i understand Basic Economics™ which is why I blindly defend an economic system built on people paying more money for garbage than it costs to produce that garbage on the basis of "a group of people need to receive free money or society will collapse" is so hilarious
What exactly was/is problematic with Blyden?
Replying to @odanga_r
How does this explain the lack of the spread of the AfAm church in Liberia where AfAm have been for 2 centuries? What do we do with Edward Blyden’s problematic but very influential argument for AfAms to return to Africa but convert to Islam which was more “authentically African?”

My favourite paintings of Africans by Euro painters:
The Agrippine Sibyl - Abraham Janssens
Head of a Model - Léon Bonnat
Dom Miguel de Castro, Emissary of Congo-Jasper/Jeronimous Becx
King Casper - Hendrik Heerschop
Because Zanjis are/were predominantly Muslims and the oldest mosque in Kenya or azania yani East Africa, the Shanga Mosque, was built on 830CE. Hata nyakati hizi Mjini Mosque in Murang'a was built in 1900 with only Thogoto mission in Kikuyu older than it by two years only.

"My AI makes longevity drugs" but we should believe this is about ebola?
Some photos from our work in Kenya so far to stop the Ebola emergency with our broad spectrum Claromer drug technology.
The Kenyan people have been incredibly generous, hosting me at their expense, proactively helping me get introduced to proper health officials, investors, and doctors.
Say a prayer that we are able to enter human trials soon.

Kiswahili kilifeli sana kutoa U kwa prefix ya majina huanza na M hasa yale yanafuatwa na TA kama vile mtangazaji, mtaro, mtana, kadhalika. Wangebakisha hio U kama vile mutazamaji sababu hio M(u) haifai kuwa identifier ya kingeli kama mtu, mnyama lakini ni nominalizer ya kusema
Kiswahili kinahitaji prefixes kamili zinaeleza taratiba(sequence) kama vile trans, re, exp, mono, bi, intra, extra, di, inter, pre, syn, sub, infra, post, non, micro, macro, homo, iso... Kukiwa na hizi prefixes lexicon zote za mathematical science zitakuwa derived virahisi

Kiarabu pia kiko na hii mbinu sawia kabisa na vernacular hata kutumia prefix hio hio ya muta-( مُتَـ) kama vile muta'allim(mutaalim yani mtaalim), Mutasha'im(pessimistic), Mutanaqid (paradoxical), Mutawazin(balanced), and the best for last ni Mutakamil(intergrated/completeness)..
