Sounds counterintuitive when everything is moving digital, and AI can generate unlimited content. But that's exactly why. When content costs zero to produce, the value of content approaches zero. When AI can send hundreds of cold DMs a day, the value of a human message goes up.
The scarce thing becomes the valuable thing. Right now, the scarce thing is a real person giving you their time. That's never going away.
If anything, it's getting rarer and more valuable.
Again, not even surprised that these two are using their platform as a laundromat for prejudice.
You take crude, violent xenophobia from the streets, run it through a 5-minute historical monologue about the Boers & apartheid, have two grifting Nigerian hosts nod along, & sudenly it emerges clean, pressed, & ready for consumption 💀
The historical timeline is correct right up until the conclusion. Black South Africans did emerged from apartheid into a structurally rigged economy. But to look at an economy still entirely dominated by white monopoly capital & decide that African migrants are the structural problem is a very deliberate misdirection. They know exactly who the White elite gatekeepers hoarding their resources are, but there is a collective lack of nerve to even mention them loudly on a podcast.
It's infinitely easier to harass a Zimbabwean waiter, burn out a Nigerian shop owner, or demand that Chidimma Adetshina be stripped of her citizenship than it is to challenge the actual architects of the post-apartheid economy. The African migrant is the sacrificial lamb. They are the path of least resistance—the only ones within reach of the stick and the cutlass.
If even the VCs who made it out of the shanties lack the nerve to look their actual economic oppressors in the eye, what hope is there for the mob in the streets?

A fleeting journey without an end.

Everyone shut up I just learned a new word:
Eremition
(eh-ruh-mish-un)
The act of gradually fading from the lives of others, not out of malice, but a desire for solitude or renewal.
PCOS is being renamed to PMOS. (Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome)
The change comes from experts that say the old name was misleading, stating that it inaccurately suggested ovarian cysts as a defining feature.
Pitchfork gives ‘BROWN’ by Chris Brown a score of 1.3, accompanied by a one-sentence review:
“Chris Brown’s soulless, hit-chasing new album doesn’t justify his return to the public eye.”
In 1986, psychiatrist George Pollock documented that the nervous system activates grief responses at the same time each year - even when the conscious mind has no memory of the date
I wonder what Jésùyẹmí would think of a writer who tweets that interracial marriage is sinful and black skin is a curse according to his “orthodox Christian faith", which he 100% agrees with, but insists he can review black authors fairly.
