Saw this old vid of African surgeons carrying out a brain surgery with local tools & I thought:
1. What might have happened if Africa's impressive ways were not truncated by Colonialism.
2. How Knowledge that has not been documented, shared or taught at scale can easily be destroyed, lost & stolen.
3. How the culture of mystery, secrecy and exclusion inherent in many African cultures makes it difficult to interrogate what we know, and how Knowledge that cannot be questioned cannot be improved upon.
4. How the beauty of measurements, standards, procedures, documentation, etc. cannot be overemphasised.
5. How No. 4 is all about mindsets that makes all the difference between progress and regression. Between mastery and quackery. And between understanding the WHY's and the HOW's.

Thinking positively does not mean that you have not committed any mistakes.
Think carefully about the things that you did wrong so that you can avoid them in the future.
