"I am fine" is people's reply when asked how they are... Memory is a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past. Many are being haunted by the past & even the present. Let's all combat #depression, show concern, press to know how that friend of urs really is.
"Basically I found myself asking the question 'what is missing in psychology?' and what was present in something psychology could be proud of was that psychotherapy actually worked, that it helped a good number of people and it was well liked.... ๐
@AbidemiBlognese@Optimus_Dracula I'm a psychologist, and I came here to tell you that you are wrong. However, I admire your confidence you exude when providing wrong information.
Africaโs poverty is not caused by colonialism โ Billionaire Elon Musk
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has dismissed the argument that colonialism is the primary cause of Africaโs poverty, expressing support for a social media post that challenged the long-standing narrative.
Musk made the remark on Saturday after reacting on X to a post by user @magattew, who compared the economic histories of Ethiopia and Vietnam in questioning the explanation often given for Africaโs underdevelopment.
In the post, the user argued that Ethiopia, which was never colonised for most of its history, remained one of the poorest countries in Africa for many years, while Vietnam, despite being colonised by the French and later devastated by decades of w@r, has achieved significant economic progress in recent years.
The user wrote, โEthiopia was never colonized. For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent. Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of w@r, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity. If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true. Can we please retire this excuse?โ
The post was used to argue that colonialism may not be the primary explanation for Africaโs economic struggles, suggesting that other structural and historical factors should also be considered.
Musk endorsed the view by reposting it on X and responding with a single word of agreement: โYes.โ
@Cookie1inPA@FBIDirectorKash@FIFAWorldCup@FBI Yeah.. Doesn't make sense for a country that calls it soccer instead of football to host it.
I wish my country was the host instead. We love football!
