Is this the whole book or just chapter one? I know it says ch1 in the title but just want to be sure.

Mind colonialism .mind war

This book really makes you question a lot of the choices you make the more you listen or read it. Worth a read🎉😊, and the fact that Ngugi actually walked the talk makes it more brilliant❤

Holla at me David Short. How do I connect with you. I am a part of Yaqui So Cal and would love to share space at UCLA. You book referneced from other Yoeme at UCLA Cesar B.

Honestly a white person reading this book is so downgrading the originality and true meaning. Why not give a native to read it. So frustrating

Why can’t there be a kikuyu person to read these books?

Lmao, To the point on Brenee Brown, me being completely vulnerable in what some would dub a "manic epidose" actually lead to me being kept in a hospital against my will! 😂😂😂 I'm glad I can laugh about it now.

Why can’t a black person read the book 🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Thank you for everyone who contributed to this🤌🏾

Amazing

"A good lie is mixed with a nessecary amount of truth".Me,lifelong liar.Former...it's a job in progress.

Amazing, thank you so much, wonderful conversation. Keep up the work everyone 🙏💚

Thank you so, so SO much for this. This--all of this--has infuriated me for so long, but I have not encountered critique of anything other than "yoga porn" photography and/or the Cult of Bikram. This hits all the points. Grateful.

I realize this is two years old, but a. I am dying to go to one of these Convocations since I heard about them and I so appreciate this conversation about your experience. I know they had problems with some of the participants and it almost kept them from having a second one, but they did... interested to hear if either or both of you participated, and if you have heard that it might happen again this year... Also, I was in Chiapas with my brother's coffee roasting company that used to roast Zapatista and Abejas de Acteal coffee, and was able to participate in the kick off for Marcos' National Tour (in 2006 or 2007, I think?), and slept on the floor of the big barn at a Caracol. I remember they had a huge party for the people from around the world who came to march from the caracol to San Cristobal, and it included an awesome electro-punk band of Zapatista kids. The vision of them playing their keytars and drums in their masks... so amazing. Thanks for appreciating the joy and humor and sharing that. <3

.... and!....hmm!....I read various news- Articles where it not the original- Person who exactly was treated for the Disease!.....Individualism and Collectivism, both needs be scrutinised before coming to a final conclusion./decision making...!...?!...... Hey-hey-hey!!!.....😀😀😀....(no Offence meant!...)....☺️

Love and appreciate this fearless and honest takedown of “scientism” which is an insidious phenomenon I personally notice all the time but never seem to know how to deconstruct and respond to in the moment. Seeing your video makes me hopeful that these things will soon be more understood and challenged on a wider scale. Peace and many blessings to you and yours Jean-Luc

god bless you for posting. I remember discovering the text for this audio right before COVID reading it on the Metro North. that is why I got a tablet in the first place. brilliant chapter on its own.

An engaging discussion. What's heavy on my mind is this collective exhaustion. I feel this I experience this as being emotionally drained, unable to give ideas, myself and support others. I feel i can only consume them. The image of the "zombie" really hits home for me and its a great way to understand our current situation.

yes I agree with you is it happened in UK authorities?:

I'm very late on watching this video and I'm not sure if anyone will see this... But great and exciting work! What a fascinating space to occupy with your research. I recently spent a month and a half in Mexico and I found it difficult to digest the typical meat-heavy street-food fare. However, I am now having an epiphany/duh-moment realizing that the meat-heavy diet is a colonial influence and not traditional at all. Love this body-as-landscape analogy. SO insightful! And also, in a literal sense, the food we eat is shaping our gut flora allowing certain bacteria to thrive and others to disappear. Our gut flora goes on to directly shape our thoughts and emotions. How are colonial influences on food choice influencing our psychology? I am going to be sitting with these ideas for a while.

It's just so cool that you got to pick his brain!! I can't get over it! Lol. Watching this again for like the 5th time. Thank you, Anjali!!!

Thank you for hosting this, fascinating presentation.

Dr. Gordon is always an excellent and inspiring thinker.

Excellent. Shared <3

The video doesn't seem to be loading right now, but I did watch this on your podcast. And I had some thoughts I wanted to share. When I was little I noticed this apathy everywhere, that seemed to come from the fact people (mostly adults) didn't want to recognize how they were contributing to the injustices of the world. Back then I called it a lack of love, because love and accountability were inseparable for me back then. It's lowkey painful to acknowledge, a lot of this series has showed me all that I've forgotten since I was educated outside of school/before school by my Taino grandfather, and my mother who very heavily followed his teachings. I feel like people might be feeling for those who are suffering but, their compassion and empathy only go so far as their words. For example, when people say that they care about those with disabilities, even if those people are their loved ones, they don't care about how those people are limited by the world. Like if you say you care about people in wheelchairs, to them it doesn't mean that you would personally build them ramps, or personally fight so those ramps could be built. Back then, if I cared about someone in a wheelchair and I saw them being limited by that, I would, automatically, think of other people like them, who were also being limited, and because I care about them, I care about people like them. (Which my therapist called, "taking on the world's problems," which was a bad thing according to him.) So much of my unlearning of amazing truths happened in school, and with school therapists, and "mental health" people- I cried to my "guidance counselor" about how in my textbook they called living people casualties, and they described how some of the soldiers getting off the boats on D-day literally didn't make it to shore because their gear was so heavy, they just drowned, and my teacher showed a film clip of so many people dying in the movie Pearl Harbor, and nobody in the room gave a single shit, and I was shaking, trying not to cry out- my mom commended me for crying and caring that deeply- and my "guidance counselor" "abstractly" told me I was just being sensitive, and I'm only crying because of my "real problems", at home. And I live in a deeply blue state, and my school is 'progressive', so I don't even want to know how it goes down in red states. Safe to say, I no longer associate school with education, but colonization and deep miseducation. It taught me to count, to read, and write, and some great teachers in that system, that were great -because- they fought the district, taught me how to research and recognize bias. And for those teachers I am grateful, for school, I am not. This was really long, but this series has given me a lot of great insight, and has helped me to remember the ways I thought of the world when I was a child, and has seriously help me to fight back against my compartmentalization. Thank you so much. I can't wait for the last episode.

the end of this podcast gets cut off right before a quote about water.. would love to hear it!

As a BIPOC (specifically Taino/Boricuan) person who's been traumatized in the area of discernment, especially by the American education system, this video has been very healing. It's made me realize how much I've been gaslit out of knowing what I know, and the different epistomologies that I've been using this whole time. I feel so valid!

Please, may I get the lnk to download a copy of Ngugi's Decolonizing The African Mind?

Whooooooo. You’re on 🔥. Thanks for your wisdom

Oh, ANOTHER fantastic word for my lexicon- epistemicide is SO perfect to describe what's happening! This severance on every level from the mycelium network of our own exquisite knowing and connection with the ecosystems- human and otherwise- around us leaves us existentially suspended in a directionless void and this is *absolutely* intentional on empire's part- being able to verbally reconnect our inner map of the intricate systems of knowing to the complex mechanisms of ecosystem is one of the intentional ways I use language to transcend and disempower the hollow 'psychologies' of the dead. I now use omnicide on such a regular basis (and point individuals constantly towards your work as the source of this word) that individuals around me are starting to grok what's happening on a much deeper level that reflects and honours their *own* knowing. Loving this conversation, will no doubt have more to say as I listen further. <3

Very cool.

This video is very nice. I really think that emotional intelligence can help in everything! #increaseemotionalintelligence2020

Ngugi wa Thiong'o ,the calabash of wisdom. An inspiring novelist in the world. Thank guys for posting this .

So informative. It’s so imperative to be conscious of our language in all settings. Thank you for the video!

is there a chapter 2?

I love what Claudia says about the decolonizing not just being a theory but an action!
