Not a single politician linked to the Epstein files in the UK received anywhere near an iota of the scrutiny btw. No crime was committed. The debate surrounding his tenure shouldn’t have even left academic circles

[Dr Renée Landell @Nay_Landell]

We can't let academia off the hook. The amount of academics who were hounding him, fellow sociologists, and a large number of particularly white women scholars!

The press and academia killed him.

Facts. Nobody would give a shit. This was fuelled by racism!

"When people talk about the need for Black Excellence I counter with an insistence on Black mediocrity: the right for black people to be as average, flawed, compromised & mistaken as any other group of people. The right, ultimately, to be human." R.I.P. Jason Arday

[Anna Hankings-Evans @anna_akosua]

Some people really had no other topic to talk about. Continuously circling back to the same person and turning them into a recurring point of commentary really spoke to the void in their own lives and how little of value or substance they had to contribute beyond that fixation.

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.

Christianity came to Igboland in 1857 when the Church Missionary Society (CMS) of the Anglican Church established a mission station in Onitsha along the River Niger.

Before this success, several attempts by European missionaries to convert the Igbo people had largely failed because the communities strongly resisted the new religion.

A turning point came when the missionaries began working with African returnees from Sierra Leone, many of whom were formerly enslaved people who had adopted Christianity and received Western education.

Among the important figures are Simon Jonas who wrote the Igbo Prima and Rev. J. C. Taylor, an Igbo-descended missionary from Sierra Leone under the leadership of Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first African Anglican bishop.

These African missionaries played a crucial role because they understood the local language and culture.

They used the Isuama dialect of Igbo to communicate Christian teachings, making it easier for local communities to understand the message.

Their shared identity and cultural familiarity helped reduce suspicion and resistance among the Igbo people.

This historical development illustrates how conversion efforts became more effective when Igbo intermediaries were involved.

In many ways, after studying the history I discovered that you need Igbo to infiltrate Igbo, destroy Igbo, you need Igbo to convince Igbo.

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone.

And it's making you a worse person because of it.

Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would.

That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear.

It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on.

Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one.

The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started.

Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product.

This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens.

Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing.

You're right. They're wrong.

Even when the opposite is true.

My thoughts are with the migrant workers whose labor built Dubai's wealth, many of whom have faced well-documented exploitation, and who are unable to leave due to sponsorship systems, debt, and lack of control over their passports.

Kids who grew up “academically gifted” are now anxious adults who have thousands of abandoned hobbies and spiral into self hate whenever they make basic mistakes, or they are lawyers. There is no in between ngl.
