Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:
“It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.”
There is an Ongoing Cyberwarfare on Yoruba History and Culture
The majority of Yoruba historical books, linguistic texts, and archives are physically stored in libraries and AI CANNOT READ THEM. So it scrapes data from Wikipedia, senseless blogs and social media posts.
Revisionists have been editing Wikipedia pages to slip in false claims about Yoruba history and for a while we’ve been on the defensive, monitoring and reacting to these edits and locking those pages using verifiable citations.
However, I think it is time we take the offense by:
- Pushing for mass digitisation of Yoruba history books in print
- Encouraging Yoruba authors to create digital formats as well
- Writing SEO optimised articles on Yoruba culture and customs
- Correcting people or AI systems when you see misinformation
- Pressuring our traditional rulers to debunk misinformation and protect our culture
I wonder if this is something we can pressure the government for, esoecially the digitisation of books. We need this urgently.
You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.
There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.
Marcus Aurelius was right when he said the crowd will forget you no matter what you do. So the only real question is whether you spent your years chasing their approval or actually living for yourself.
When you Lose the Emotions you attach to some Persons,
You realize how Ordinary they are.
It’s your Love and Energy you pass to them that makes them seem so Special.
Focus On Your Life!✌️
