My Honest Advice for Gen Z Men.

Effective governance runs quietly in the background of a society and the typical person doesn't feel the urge to obsess over politics.
Things mostly tick along smoothly, freeing up individuals' and families' time and energy to concentrate on relationships, health, work, faith, and community.
A sign of bad governance is that people are heavily emotionally invested in it and feel compelled to think and talk about it constantly. Politics becomes both a source of entertainment and anguish. Every election feels like an existential threat to millions of people. Neighbours and even family members turn against each other because they feel the stakes are so high.
HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING
AI can now write genomes from scratch.
Arc Institute an NVIDIA just published Evo-2, the largest AI model for biology, trained on 9.3 trillion DNA base pairs spanning the entire tree of life.
it doesn’t just analyze genomes. it creates them

In a country that has ambition, people should grow up aspiring to benefit from and contribute to the country's productive economy.
Nobody should grow up seeing NGO work as their visual reference for prosperity, as is the case in many parts of Nigeria and Africa.
The NGO-isation of African economies is a form of hybrid warfare. In tech, for example, there exists a whole subgenre of "tech bros" who do not actually build anything that solves any problems or creates any value, but rather apply for grants and receive what amounts to "free" dollars from foreign governments in exchange for not very much work at all.
The same thing is happening is happening in journalism, where almost no Nigerian journalist is working to figure out a new business model to replace the clearly broken current one that makes journalists poor, and nobody is interested in reporting stories that actually matter to Nigeria's national interests. Everybody is instead busy chasing $2,000 grants from Pullitzer Centre, CDD, CJID, and the rest of the Abuja NGO journalism rabble.
In agriculture, nobody is trying to fix the REAL problems with Nigerian agriculture - security, mechanisation, and storage & transport infrastructure. Instead, everybody is chasing Gates Foundation money and parroting Microsoft Man's narrative about how GMOs will fix everything. Half of Nigeria's harvests spoil ON THE FARM every year due to lack of storage and evacuation infrastructure, but one white man's NGO is busy telling us that what we need to increase our food supply is Monsanto-patented corn, and EVERYBODY is following him because of NGO money!
In education, nobody is interested in the foundational problems - an outdated Victorian curriculum and a widespread lack of basic infrastructure like classrooms and computers. Everybody is instead busy following oyibo NGOs to be talking about AI and IoT-enabled learning for all the 12 students that will ever have access to those things, so that they will use AI to teach them that Mungo Park discovered River Niger, and they can use their IoT-enabled tablet computer to label parts of praying mantis.
In real estate, nobody is building to solve the uniform problem across sub-Saharan Africa - access to relatively cheap, high-quality housing, which immediately elevates low-income earners into middle-class status. Everybody is busy chasing one tiny market of money launderers and NGO people who earn in dollars and pricing condos in Guzape at $400,000. So now you have poorly-built, low-quality, cement-and-glass nonsense multiplying all over Africa and sitting empty for decades while the population of urban slums continues to balloon every year!
NGOs and the influx of foreign government money need to be treated as a critical national security threat across Africa. At least 90% of existing NGOs absolutely do not need to exist and should be shut down. Any influx of foreign state funds into an African country must be subject to oversight, and caps need to be placed on how much NGO staff can get paid, so as not to distort national economies dangerously, as they are currently doing.
Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would take a leading supercomputer over 10^25 years, far beyond the age of the universe(!).
