Clearing up muddy data to get a clearer picture of reality to work with really helps in understanding what’s going on with our species. Thank you, Alice for doing this work.
I wander what facia is almost universally holding this system in place. What tiny misconception did this globally evolve from and how do we flip a switch to deactivate it and let it wither and die.
I wonder, if like many seemingly complicated issues, it’s just one untrue misconception, then when adjusted, human kind grows straight again.
Just in case it’s that simple, I am panning for it. What are we missing? What’s possible?
As a Kikuyu, who speaks Kikuyu (unlike your quoted author who spoke Swahili- another bantu language which i also speak but very different language from kikuyu), I daresay there is a lot of nuance that is missed by the original author and now by you in your interpretation of Kikuyu culture. I can direct you to kikuyu historians but I feel your point was to confirm your understanding and not unearth the truth
I completely forgot to reply but sending this message so I can have a reminder when I am on vacation and have time to engage. Your study was brought to my attention by my brother and he and I had a deep conversation about my view of your piece and he was of the opinion that I may have jumped to the opposite conclusion of what you were doing. I will re read when I have some downtime (next week) and re-engage

Could you elaborate as to the historians or nuance? Would like to understand better.

Thanks Alice for that critical study and challenge.
Plus a great summary of the likely future

please keep doing what you’re doing, thanks
