"Delusion is the fuel that propels the engine of your soul to do great things. How else can you, a struggling youth from a lower-middle-income background in the actively-retrogressing shithole that is Nigeria, convince yourself that you can do more?"

frederich nietzsche came up with the idea of an ubermensch, a person who transcends the limitations imposed by society, convention, and even their former self.

[Kelechi @Pretend_genius_]

the ubermensch does not ask, “what am i supposed to become?”

he asks, “what am i capable of becoming?”

[Kelechi @Pretend_genius_]

not someone who is born extraordinary, but someone who becomes extraordinary by refusing to live according to values they have never questioned.

Pediatrics, day 2, and I think I've found my second specialty differential, after cardiology, ofc.

the dunning-kruger effect describes how people with lower levels of competence tend to overestimate their abilities, while more competent people are often more aware of the limits of their knowledge.

[Kelechi @Pretend_genius_]

it's why quacks can be so confident managing conditions that even specialist doctors approach with caution. it's why high-performing students can walk out of an exam convinced they did terribly.

My essay, 'How To Buy Goats In Jigawa', is up in Efiko's fifth issue. I wrote it shortly after a trip to the Maigatari FTZ, a place that was equal parts sparse and beautiful. I'm grateful to the editors for giving it a home.

nigerians constantly demeaning doctors while placing pastors on a pedestal will always be one of the most amusing contradictions to me.
