Barely three weeks ago, I published the following piece in French and spoke about how African governments gaslight their youth , promising them that education is the path out of poverty, then creating no job opportunities, and telling them their failure is a result of their laziness. And today, I stumble on this comment made by Ghanaian MP. Here’s the translated article: Growing up in most of our African countries, fundamentally impoverished, means hearing one simple message: to live with dignity and escape poverty, the clear path is education. Not just any type of education: the academic one. Parents invest everything they have: time, money, hope, into their children’s schooling, convinced that it is the key to freedom and the way out of misery. They sacrifice themselves, pay for private lessons, hire tutors, sometimes at the cost of their own survival, stretching every resource, in the hope that one day this investment will bear fruit. The promise made to the youths is simple: work hard, focus on your studies, and the world will open up to you. But the world, in these countries, is not built to receive these efforts. Schools are often broken, incapable of functioning properly. Teachers go on strike for lack of pay. Infrastructure crumbles. After years of effort, the child, now an adult, emerges with a diploma in hand. And then comes the brutal reckoning: no jobs. The market is saturated and these young people sometimes find themselves learning a trade, work once reserved for those who had “failed” at school. The skills once deemed inferior become their only refuge. This is where the psychological manipulation begins, what is known in English as gaslighting. The system has betrayed them, because the state failed to create the necessary opportunities. It now seeks to make them believe that their failure is personal. They are told, repeatedly, that it is not the government’s job to employ them, that their difficulty finding work is the result of their laziness, lack of creativity and that true success lies in entrepreneurship: they must “create their own opportunities.” Entrepreneurship, presented as emancipatory, is often nothing but a veil. It conceals a structural failure and transfers the weight of the system’s collapse onto the shoulders of young people who were promised the world if they followed the rules. The narrative is so skillfully crafted that it sounds like wisdom. It urges them to work hard, be self-reliant, take charge of their own lives. But behind this illusion lies a cruelty that dares not speak its name. The failure is not theirs alone; it belongs equally to the society and to the state itself. We live in a world where injustice hides behind the language of personal development. To survive, young people must carry the weight of a state that cannot or will not support them. Many do so, in silence, believing they have failed when in fact they have simply been betrayed. The bankruptcy of the state and the betrayal of trust can no longer remain invisible. We must fight for a society where education is not a gamble on hope but a genuine bridge to opportunity, where governments build real pathways for their citizens to prosper, and where young people are no longer blamed for a system that crushes them. One that was never designed to ensure their flourishing. Farida Bemba Nabourema, A Disillusioned African Citizen!

I'm a medical doctor, but I'm also human.🥹🥹 Sometimes I leave the ward not because I'm tired, though I am, but because I need a minute to put myself back together. We're trained to appear confident, but not to process the trauma of watching people die despite doing everything right; the grief, the helplessness, the guilt of not having enough resources to give every patient what they deserve. You've been on your feet since yesterday morning, and as you're walking out, another emergency walks in. You stay because who else will? My colleagues are going through the same thing. Our bosses normalized it. The system doesn't have space for a doctor who isn't okay, so we push through until we can't. If you're a doctor feeling this, you're not broken. The system is. Hold on. 💚

I wonder how the pathologist and other lab techs feel about this. BTW we are far from using this in third world countries

A robot just replaced the human who draws your blood, and it is already inside European hospitals right now. The device called Aletta is CE-marked, the European equivalent of FDA approval and it is already operating on real patients. Vitestro built a machine that maps your veins using AI powered Doppler ultrasound, locks onto the right one with submillimeter precision, inserts the needle, fills the tubes, removes the needle and applies the bandage completely on its own. No human hands touch you during the procedure and one trained supervisor can oversee up to three of these machines running simultaneously. And 98% of patients who went through it said they would accept the procedure again. The machine does not care if your veins are difficult or your skin tone, body type, or whether past draws were painful. It finds a vein on almost every patient regardless and roughly 1.4 billion blood draws happen in the United States alone every single year. Every one of those is currently done by a human being and that human has a job title, phlebotomist. There are roughly 130,000 of them working in the US today and that job is now directly in the crosshairs of this technology. Northwestern Medicine, one of the most prestigious hospital systems in America already signed a multi-year collaboration agreement with Vitestro to bring this machine to US hospitals.

@Adolfo9524 How many articles

Two weeks ago, I received the life-changing news that I matched into Internal Medicine at Woodhull Medical Center. I am Grateful to God, who has been by my side from day one, and to all who supported me. Excited for the next chapter in New York. #Match2026 #InternalMedicine #IMG

Hippocrates was an IMG

@DerrickAbaitey I don’t know why boys trust politicians.

As a Ghanaian youth, why does this video make you angry ?

@TheAgroCEO @LegacyfarmsTv @EnyonamManye @wode_maya Nice nice

I chose to focus more on maize this season not because it’s the easiest crop. But because it makes the most sense for where I am right now. Maize gives me: – Faster turnover (shorter production cycle = quicker cashflow) – Easier market access (high demand, easier to sell) – Lower operational complexity compared to other crops But more importantly… It works well alongside cassava. Cassava gives longer-term stability, while maize brings quicker returns. 👉 That combination helps me: – Spread risk across crops – Maintain cashflow – Maximize profit potential per season And most importantly, make use of every bit of land available. At this stage, I’m not chasing size. I’m focused on: → understanding my costs → improving execution → building a system that can scale Every decision on the farm now is intentional. Because in agriculture, the crop you choose is not just farming… It’s strategy. 🌱

@ksarfo_ababio save one for me wai

@Tiwatopeoluwaa @Leonighile1 Bro she’s rage baiting you.

@Leonighile1 @ygadamage @kellyagmmm If you actually follow the thread, you’ll see my response was directed at the person who posted the video. Making up stories about my sis because of her body is unfair and unnecessary. Please stick to facts.

Snapchat girls get tactics oo 😭. she dey sell men’s clothes but she put breast for first and last. correct 2 in one Advert 🤣🤣

@hy_wemmy Reduced subjective sensation of “tightness”. Some adaptation in stretch receptor sensitivity is plausible but main causes are aging ,childbirth and menopause

Why do men think v@ginas get loose if you sleep with 30 different people but it stays tight if you sleep with the same person 30 times?

@DCHASER_XX @dfweddiee @jaycurvea Add we

@dfweddiee @jaycurvea lemme add you to some bad influence group for snap 🤣

Heh car niqqas😂 guy the marriage de3 ego hard heh, Accra girls 😂 what the mandem group show me rn😭

Good point. I don’t like writing or making notes. I tend to ponder on subjects and use question banks as reinforcement. Well I do spaced repetition because it is fun.

Building on Dr. Luu’s 10 strategies: a 60-year autodidact’s twist that makes them stick even harder while having fun. Dr. Luu’s article lays out a solid evidence-based foundation. Retrieval practice outperforming concept mapping by roughly 50% on delayed tests, handwriting notes boosting conceptual scores, the teaching-expectation mindset improving recall by about a third, removing your phone from the room, timing exercise around study sessions, spacing, interleaving, sleep. All backed by real studies. These strategies work but can be boring and hard to keep up. I use a modified version of them to score above the 99th percentile across every standardized test, have fun doing it, and so can you. I added one additional step that turns these individual strategies into a single, self-reinforcing system that keeps you engaged: build a causal memory palace that is interesting instead of memorizing isolated facts that is boring. The idea is simple. For any concept, say a pathology, don’t just learn what happens. Reconstruct why it happens through multiple first-principles lenses: developmental biology, phylogenetic echoes, homeostatic feedback control and repair mechanisms gone wrong, cascading damage across the network and at different scales, and cross-links to related conditions and animal models. You end up with a coherent causal that is an intrinsically interesting web rather than a list of disconnected facts that numbs your brain. This changes how the 10 strategies play out. When you do retrieval practice, you’re pulling on a connected network. One thread brings the rest with it. Interleaving topics stops feeling forced because you keep running into the same causal threads across different diseases. Spacing and sleep consolidate an architecture, not a pile of flashcards. And studying as if you’ll teach becomes almost effortless because the material is already organized into an explanatory and interesting story that will keep you and your students engaged. On handwritten notes. Dr. Luu’s article highlights handwriting as a way to force deeper processing rather than passive transcription. The causal palace approach takes this further. Your notepad becomes the place where you sketch the network: arrows connecting a developmental misstep to its downstream cascade, branches linking one disease’s mechanism to another’s. The multi-sensory act of drawing those connections, seeing the web take shape, feeling the pen trace the links, offloads working memory onto the page and translates it into durable long-term storage. It’s not just note-taking. It’s building and feeling the palace in real time. Keep a notepad with you. Every time you pause to diagram a connection, you’re reinforcing the whole structure. The bottom line: you study less total time because the causal web makes everything reconstructible on demand. The 10 strategies maintain the palace, and the palace gives the strategies something coherent to work on and keeps you engaged. If you haven’t read Dr. Luu’s full breakdown yet, it’s worth it for the specific protocols and research citations. Then try layering a causal web on top of your next topic and see how much faster it clicks while having fun doing it.
