Puntingnoob:
Thank you. Can you recommend some books for me? I read his book 12 RULES OF LIFE and it's quite an eye opener. I'm looking for books that are uncomfortable to read.
1. Since this is a geopolitical thread, then I will advice reading ''the confession of an economic hitman'' by John Perkins.

its over 400 pages where the author who is an hitman (a person that go around the world destroying economies for the CIA) confessed on how they kept countries poor.

Nigeria was also amongst the country he listed in that book. Part of the SAP implemented as a conditions for giving Nigeria loan was as a consequence to Nigeria being a victim of such hitmen.

As you can see Nigeria of today, its poor, in huge debt it can hardlty repay, not industrialised, high inflation, while IMF still generously heap more loans on us.

2. You can also read about ''DEAD AID'' by Dambisa Moyo. The book was so revealing of western debt trap that Bill Gate had to attack the writer. This book is also very good.

3. Also, read ''The Grand Chessboard'' by ''Zbigniew Brzezinski'', to understand how the world works in realtime, and why the attack on Eurasia (China and Russia). Ukraine is just a card in the whole game to actualise the goal of the so called ''end of history''. where western hegemony will reign supreme, on earth, permanently.

All parts of the world have been conquered, except Russia and China.

4. Also read the book by the first Ghanian president titled ''Neocolonialism, the last stage of imperialism''. The book was so eye opening that the US cancelled its aids to Ghana as a form of protest.

Masterviolence:
It is rather bemusing that you lurk in the shadows, weaving feeble conjectures in lieu of confronting me forthrightly.
My track record speaks for itself, I have consistently admonished those who, with a tireless proclivity, revel in their misguided indulgences, including the very architect of this thread writerng. To feign ignorance of this is either a deliberate act of intellectual dishonesty or a pitiable shortcoming in comprehension.


Understand this, my discourse is not squandered on the ephemeral echoes of inconsequential murmurs. I do not expend my breath on every transient misstep, but rather on those whose transgressions are so egregiously recurrent that silence would be an accomplice to their folly.

Yet here you stand, not as an interlocutor of substance, but as a specter of hesitation, cowering behind veiled insinuations rather than wielding the fortitude to face me directly. So tell me, is it trepidation that stills your tongue? Or the grim realization that your words, when measured against mine, would collapse under the weight of their own frailty?


If you seek discourse, then step forth. But if your sole intent is to cower behind rhetoric devoid of merit, then let the silence of your inaction be the eulogy to your own irrelevance.
Gbadebo if you reply this... You are every epitome of intellectual ignorance.

We definitely don't have the same definition for intelligence. Jordan is just a propagandist for fascism. The way people dash the "intelligent" adjectif around is worrisome. I generally only call "smart" the people whose intellectual work has impressed me.

Anybody can "look smart", that is why nothing but intellectual work matters, you can't fake intellectual work.

pansophist:
A very intelligent man.

Although with him, I saw clearly that intelligence does not exempt a person from being a victim of propaganda.

There are areas that I do not agree with him on, and I also think he covers the raw nature of gender dynamics, society and politics with beautifully worded jargons or euphemisms, but it would be disingenuous to say that he is not an intelligent man.

For example there is this one hour lecture of his on youtube titled ''the necessity of virtue'' where he made a statement that ''men have to be awake to outsmart women''.

He refuse to explain more on that, and I have seen threads on reddit where folks are trying to know what he meant by that.

So this is an example of an area I think JP sometimes talk like he is afraid of going too deep.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 9:54pm On Mar 16, 2025
I guess the guy fits what you think intelligence is. Well, we don't live in the same world, I'm a scientist and I'm not impressed by Jordan.
Perhaps one man's genius is an other man's person with average intelligence.

It's like how lawyers, within their bubble, see themselves as the smartest people on earth, while us scientists and even medical doctors see them as intellectual charlatans.

Intellectual charlatans := people who pretend to be intellectuals. Or people who falsely think they are smart.

No matter how smart a person is, when he lacks all the necessary information and truth, they will always arrive at the wrong conclusion.

When you watch his take on the Russo-Ukrainian war on youtube, you will see clearly that his opinion is shaped by mainstream narratives,

In other words, he sees the world as a case of David and Goliath, and Ukraine should somehow triumph.

Most importantly, as a man that portrays himself as a symbol of a good man, he has never for one day speak about, against, or acknowledge the existence of western hegemony.

It cannot be justified that he does not know about it. The only conclusion is that he is indifference to it.

In a nutshell, he is a good man, and just as imperfect as every one of us, but he is really really smart, and I learnt alot from him, especially in the area of eloquence and courage.
Jordan Peterson is afterall a white man, we of the brown, yellow and black dispositions know that American and European posturing about the Sanctity of borders, democracy and sovereignty is a hollow lie used to prop up the status quo.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by StudyBarn:
The same land of the free enslaved human beings for nearly 3 centuries, never fully abolished it and continues to this day to sentence this same group of human beings at a disproportionate rate to the only place where slave labor is legal- prisons. The land of the free imprisons more people than China.

Blacks constitute 38% of the prison population despite being only 13% of the population, Latino's constitute 23% despite being 19.5% of the population. A combined 61% of prisoners are either black or Latino.

They claimed an entire hemisphere of the planet as their immediate neighborhood where no other great power is barely allowed to form commercial relationships much less military relationships. Any country that fails to toe the line and open themselves to unchecked exploitation is immediately crushed by military force or a crippling sanctions regime.

They nearly precipitated a Nuclear war because the USSR moved non-nuclear missiles into Cuba just a few hundred kilometers from Florida, this same people have Aegis missile Systems capable of carrying Nuclear warheads surrounding Russia.

The same Europeans that carved out Africa for their logistical and commerical convenience without any consideration of history, language or simmering local conflicts now clutch their pearls because someone is readjusting boundaries in Europe.


I personally consider the term Pro-Russian to be an insult, I don't go harping about Mother Russia that's decidedly weird and debasing. I'm a black man my loyalties lie in the collapse of the current unjust system, there are racists in the US where I live certainly I'm not naive to believe Russia or China isn't crawling with them.

Russia has interests and has the right to pursue it's security which is hard won by it's costly triumph over Nazism and by it's possession of the largest Nuclear arsenal, they have repeatedly stated their red lines over and over again yet a group of mostly unelected bureaucrats decided to stoke the ember of Nuclear annihilation and collective senescence by provoking this needless war.


I am not Pro-Russian I'm more anti-hypocrisy and a realist, being realistic, well read and immersed in realpolitik means you inevitably see stuff from Russia's point.

Do I believe the Russian incursion into Africa especially the Sahel will be beneficial to this countries, Nope it is a foreign power whose guiding principles are the interest of their own country and as far as investments go it can't match Chinese, American even European Investments,

Their interest rarely exceeds Minerals and security without those pesky bickerings about democracy and rule of law, African leaders would do well to pursue their country's interest also.

For Gates to criticise Moyo, who is an elite Western-trained professional because of aids, says a lot. I will read his criticism sha, but aid does not lead to development. Also, the kind of "aid" assistance South Korea got from the US is different from the aid we as Africans get from the West.

For the Ghanaian aspect, it was revealed or unpacked recently that the British government or CIA had a hand in the destruction of his presidency.

I guess you meant that impoverished, dispossessed, marginalized and uneducated people are predisposed to commit crimes, and they are predisposed to get harsher sentences and no clemency due to discrimination when they commit bloodless offences.
