    Aaw thank you so much for this hopeful message! So fitting especially at the start of a new year where everyone is evaluating their goals and likely thinking about what went wrong in the past year. I really resonate with detaching from outcomes - you can use someone’s script bar for bar and still never get the same outcome. I think of it in a positive sense too for instance if someone is discouraging you from pursuing something because they failed - who am I to say that I won’t succeed if I pursued the same thing just because someone went down that path and had a negative outcome.

    Listening to the podcast made me question how society defines and protects childhood. I appreciated the deep dive into systemic inequalities and how protections often prioritize privileged children while overlooking those in marginalized communities. Society’s protection of children, while not perfect, is far from purely performative. The global focus on child welfare, improved health and education metrics, and targeted efforts to address inequality suggest genuine progress. The world has increasingly acknowledged the unique vulnerabilities of children and is striving to ensure that all children-regardless of geography or social status-receive the care and protection they deserve. While challenges remain, these collective efforts demonstrate an authentic drive to protect all children.

      @@Babalaomamae thanks so much for this comment! You bring up a fair point. I agree with your point on the fact that the focus on child welfare has brought about some great strides in improving the outcomes of children. I credit organizations like UNICEF for their efforts on that front. And certainly they’ve helped to improve the outcomes of children including in the Global South. I think that point and my larger point in the video are not mutually exclusive. I just think they’re different points and both can be true at the same time. Yes there’s a lot of effort to improve children’s lives, but the great injustice of inequality that has been perpetuated through colonialism and other societal ills already placed certain children at a disadvantage and has valued their lives less such that children’s rights are not non-negotiable but have to be fought for. I hope my video does not come off as pessimistic. I simply aim to analyze the state of the world. Plus there’s a part 2, so stay tuned! 😌

    This is such an interesting analysis ! It brought to mind how economically and socially privileged people are thought to be “blessed by God”. Implying that God has chosen to bless the privileged and condemn the rest. This kind of reasoning, as you point out so eloquently, relieves society of responsibilities to rectify inequality and injustice.

    Also idk if you have read about the discourse between Ngugi Wa Thiong’o and other African writers about how true liberation in writing African literature was writing it in our native languages…so we can tell our own stories and write our own history for us, by us. Of course that was challenged because of the barriers that it inevitably creates in accessing what other Africans or even Kenyan authors had to say. But it was interesting and i definitely sided with that form of resistance

    Thank you so much for sharing this. It is refreshing to hear perspective on language, not just how it is used, but also WHICH languages are used to drive certain narratives. Benita’s experience with different languages and navigating them in different contexts also helps reveal a lot. OMG i am triggered by the Disc thing, that we were forced to speak English and it was punishable not to. Like where was the critical thinking passing these rules, idk why at that time I never thought much of it but Now? So ironic now because I know most people who cannot articulate themselves well in Kiswahili as well as English? Omg

    I really enjoyed this discussion! Especially the pipeline from being oppressed to being the oppressor. I believe power is really pivotal in making real change, despite the blantant exploitation of it whenever people get it. Thinking about how some of the success of the feminist movement was attributed to male allyship- who risked having the power patriarchal systems afforded them stripped from them. A lot to think about, especially when not in privileged positions. I really like your point on the switch up of people who come to power - that their traits to turn to oppression could have been inherent and just manifests with that privilege bestowed to them. And in introspection, asking if those undesirable attributes or moral values still at a work in progress state that I(We) have might pop given the right privileges?

    So you still have a UA-cam music subscription after all the time we spent talking about this?? 😂 Seriously though I love your perspective on friendship and it heavily resonates with mine as well. Life has become increasingly individualistic not only in the West but back home as well in the cities and urban areas. The narrative of cutting friends off if they’re not serving you definitely makes friendships very transactional, which is very unfortunate for lack of a better word. Really, people should allow friendships to evolve over time as people go through through life events like moving cities, marriage, having a baby, busy seasons at work etc just like we allow romantic relationships to evolve over time I really hope that more people in our generation will reject the transactional ideology of friendships, have healthy friends (very important) and allow friendships to evolve over time 😊

    We don't have the capacity to withhold the truth though. Friendships have a effort by which they are maintained. Both people have to put an effort into the friendship. We have no human interactions that will enable us to see the good and bad in people because of the theory of Imagination. I have seen the power of friendship but I have seen the beauty of keeping the friendship alive from effort. the fantasy which is a fallacy that friendships need clicking or need a perfect aura well too bad for those looking for personal achievements.

    • @adhisandthat

      Yes, of course friendships need effort to maintain! i agree completely! i think i was speaking more so about this idea that we should be so quick to cut people off and that we can depend on ourselves and don’t need other people! But i completely agree that any human relationships need effort to maintain and that is why we must pour into our friendships:)
