It's not just tech. Anything new the government doesn't understand, it first crushes, then it regulates. Same thing has happened with the arts. GoK detained, exiled and frustrated artists, called the arts useless to the market, then when social media gave artists an outlet GoK couldn't control, GoK started talking of creative economy and arts as a CBC pathway.

Every time a potentially revolutionary technology comes about the first reaction from dull, unimaginative and Luddite governments is to regulate it and create some doofus body with director generals and commissioners and dozens of redundant staff. Smarter countries meanwhile encourage their innovators to push the envelope until the wheels threaten to fall off

The only thing I hate about AI written work submitted by students is that I have to read and grade it. It's usually terrible and often misses the point.
But other than that, I don't get too bothered about it because the cynicism was always there. It didn't start with AI. It started with the colonial ideology that we should learn for employers, and then it was reinforced by the neoliberal ideology that we should learn for the market. Never for ourselves. So I figure that it's difficult for young people to learn differently from how the government, their parents and the media keep brainwashing them to.
I do try to convince the students to value doing the work themselves, but I have no illusions. In the evening after my class, they'll go to NTV or Citizen social media pages and a flashy-looking anchor will be telling them not to bother with education. My voice doesn't stand a chance.

It always amazes me that imperialism cares what we think, yet it acts despite what we think.
And the other dissonance is that despite this investment in narratives, the Kenyan education system has a lot of fools who fool claim that studying narratives is not "practical" and has no "relevance to the market."

🕵️ New: U.S. embassies to coordinate with Pentagon psy-ops unit and Elon Musk: 🔹Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a cable Monday ordering all U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide to run coordinated campaigns against what it calls foreign “anti-American propaganda,” according to The Guardian. 🔹Embassies are instructed to recruit local influencers, academics, and community leaders to spread messaging that appears locally driven rather than directed by Washington. The cable also promotes X’s “Community Notes” feature as a crowdsourced way to counter anti-American narratives “without compromising free speech or privacy.” 🔹The directive tells diplomats to work with the U.S. military’s psychological operations unit and use X—owned by Elon Musk—as a key tool, describing it as an “innovative” way to counter disinformation.

😭😭😭 #NikoKadi BECAUSE the butcher murdered our brothers and sisters in cold blood, whose only mistake was using Colgate to protect themselves from teargas while exercising our constitutional right to reject rogue finance bills. #TukoKadi ready for 2027. It will be an organic, overwhelming, TOTAL #BallotRevolution. #SisiNdioSifuna na #SiriNiNumbers na tuko wengi — lindamwananchi.com #GenZ15MillionStrong.

This is 700yr old Kongo Mosque, in south coast, built in 13th century, mostly curved out of a rock, probably the oldest surviving building in present Kenya, it precedes fort Jesus & gede ruins by 300 yrs. Now sharp boys have come with a title deed, saying its built on their land

Only in Kenya can the statutory authority be so excited to announce the pollution of our parks and reckless endagerment of wildlife. By the way does if pass through Lake Nakuru national park, or are you afraid that spectators might stumble upon the remains of Brian Odhiambo?

Engines rev, cars charge through the rugged terrain, and the rally action unfolds against the stunning backdrop of Lake Elementaita, where flamingos & pelicans glide across the tranquil waters. It’s a rare moment where rally excitement meets the magical beauty of Kenya’s wild spaces! Take time to explore and experience #KenyaParks beyond the rally. #WRC2026 #JiachilieInKenyaParks

Israel Is A Racist Apartheid Country
In October 2023, the settler colonial State of Israel began perpetrating one of the most horrific genocides in living memory against the Palestinian people, in full view of the world, with the full support of the United States and its fellow Western nations.
Following a dubious ceasefire agreement brokered by the administration of US President Donald Trump two years later, Israel has continued to murder, displace and starve the Palestinian people, in full view of the world, with the full support of the United States and its fellow Western nations.
In this 2023 interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef points out the racist, anti-human culture that lies at the core of this genocide, using the chilling example of a now 13-year-old report about the Israeli government’s decades-long forced sterilization of Ethiopian women – a practice which may well be continuing to this day.
When certain Africans profess support for Israel, this is what they are supporting.

With CBC, Kenya will accomplish the same feat. With plumbers and masons, emptying our minds of knowledge, shunning mathematics because it's too confusing, and philosophy because it's irrelevant, we will beat foreign invaders within a weekend because we're the good guys.

Trump really took their classroom bully military to Iran and expected a quick win. A military Led by philosophers with 3 centuries of war doctrine to rely on? A people who saw the invasion of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes, The Ottoman wars..? Laughable.

"Corruption is a social system of cruelty. And it is cruelty to the weak, because the weak have something which the powerful want: humanity. To be weak, to be meek, is to be blessed, to be on the side of morality. The ruling class can get their dignity back if they sell all they have, give their money to the poor and find dignity in love, knowledge and work, but they don't want to. They are too sick to know they are sick. So they follow a path of endless looting, and they never have enough."

@W_Asherah Big historical, philosophical implications. Mega historical patterns on replay. There's existential panic among those who think they'd inherited the earth forever. I wish our educators had remembered that history is pattern recognition used to read time, and made it mandatory.

If we don't educate children in history, culture, languages, religion, traditions, ethics and critical thinking preferring instead to limit them to STEM subjects, then we are raising a generation of easy to manipulate morons. This is becoming ever more obvious today.

@Wordslinger__ It's not 60% into STEM. It's 60% into TVET. The other 40% is spread across STEM, Arts and Social sciences.
