The whole "AI stole my math" panic by mathematicians is not a real issue. If mathematics problems are no longer worthy of human attention, then go and find real problems. The world is full of them. We shall figure out a new way of inventing the next graph theory, if graph theory wasn't the last mathematics discovery.

Solving math problems professionally is just a job; it is not the pinnacle of human achievement. Stop all the whining and get in queue. Software engineering has already been disrupted for a while now.

The cool thing about how AI has come for jobs is that it started with the industries that created it. So eventually, when it comes for lawyers and soldiers, they won't have anyone to argue with or kill besides the AI itself.

Kabaka Ndawula - Jajja w'ebibuga

We should stop calling consumers people. I mean these human bodies, devoid of any capability of original thought. They consume content all day. They pay for things because others have them. What they consider leisure is straight out of a resort advert. They eat food based on some numbers called calories that they heard on a podcast. They drive 10 kilometers to work daily, and then pay for the gym. Even when it comes to sex, they want to perform it like they are in a porno. Everything about them is fake.

Ejembe ly'obuddu borrows their body for eight hours a day, five days a week—except for the 21 days off in a year and some holidays. The rest of the time, they don't know what to do with their bodies, so all they do is consume.

I want to go out of my way and say that having a human body is no longer enough qualification to be considered a person. These consumers aren't people. They are things. And if you know slightly more than average mathematics, and you can afford to convert a good amount of energy into computing, you can control them like the tools they are.

The future is not up for debate. The future is available to be created by those who dare to be Gods. Your body can be a tool ready to be used on demand by the gods, or your body can be your own sovereign property. Making you your own God.

Do you want to belong to a tribe, or do you want to be a God of one? Are you willing to put in the effort to decentralize, or do you prefer to follow lazily?

The spears are sharp enough for the warriors to start war. The tools are well-designed for the builder to get started. The word is ready for God to command creation.

Let there be...

The flu, respiratory allergies, and other blockages in a child's respiratory tract are a better predictor of their overall success in school (including academics, sports, music, etc.) than any other narrative you've read in any book. Breath training from a young age (around 10) may actually be the trick that schools can employ to not only improve the success of their pupils but also raise more self-aware people. Self-awareness, in my opinion, is a better skill than intelligence, discipline, ambition, and other human virtues.

So I'm concerned like all other parents that my children spend 4 weeks of each holiday recovering from flu only to get a new infection in the first week of school.

The government, Buganda kingdom, the Catholic Church, Makerere university, NTV, namenya ani naleeka ani. It is all your fault. You have all failed me. And I blame you fully.

This flu in schools is not an impossible problem to solve. Get to work.

In a society run by lawyers and soldiers, you should not be surprised that if the people are not arguing, they are killing each other. In an alternative society run by engineers, people are too busy building to argue. And even when they do argue, they need a clear definition or criteria for resolution before they can engage.

Countries like China that understood this a while ago are marching happily into the future, while societies like America are still arguing whether, for the future to happen, all children in Gaza must die first.

Communism and Capitalism are out; it is now Engineerism vs. Lawyerism. Manufacturing vs. Sanctions. Solar power and going electric vs. invading Iran. Open LLMs vs. the AI cults Musk and his friends are building.

The Shapeshifter allegory introduced in Kanye West and Jay-Z's song "No Church in the Wild" fully describes the cycle of power—at least as exercised by the West.

Human being in a Mob. For the individual, being part of a Mob is the absolute state of powerlessness. Yet, the Mob as a whole holds immense power over every individual that comprises it. Thus, the initial step for the shape shifter to acquire power is to become the Mob.

What's a Mob to a King? The Shapeshifter who wants to go even further—holding power not just over individuals, but over entire Mobs—must shift into a King. A King is an individual who has transcended the Mobs and is capable of guiding and directing them.

What's a King to a God? Naturally, Mobs are capable of producing more than one King. While these Kings inevitably fight it out, the Shapeshifter knows that shifting into a God grants it power over all Kings.

What's a God to a Non-Believer? Even Godhood is not immune to competition or conflict. Therefore, the Shapeshifter finally discovers that the ultimate form of existence in this realm is to exist as a human being—specifically, the kind of Non-Believer over whom Gods have no jurisdiction.

But what is a Non-Believer to a Mob?

And the cycle starts again.

XkMato is the future of social media. Invest now while you can afford the price.

In a world where anyone can build their own platform, why would we still want to subject our minds to Elon Musk's algorithm? I read somewhere that Grok is Christian. The people we think are smart are just pretenders. They are protecting their jobs. They were denied a spiritual upbringing. And now, they've scaled to the territory where being clever alone is not enough. You need a strong moral foundation. So they chose Christianity because their parents were colonized through Christianity. That is obviously the wrong turn, bro. Yet you were doing so well.

Soon, video hosting will also be cheap, and we won't need TikTok anymore.

Basically, everyone builds their own blog and we create a standard on the blockchain( lets call that protocol XkMato) for people to consume all blogs in a central space. Then we can compete on who can write the best algorithm. We sell algorithms as a service. So, if Elon Musk wants to play cheap politics, let him do that shit to his people. The blockchain will allow you self custody of your data, but some blogs may require it to let you in. We shall let the market decide.

There I was thinking I was doing this blogging shit just for the fun of it.

In the end, I suppose there is no doubt that Kizza Besigye is the greatest Ugandan that has ever lived. The man just simply refused to compromise on his values. He went to the bush to fight for a Uganda he believed in. When he won the war, he put on his overalls and set out to build. Deep down, he knew that compromising on the Uganda he believed in was a betrayal of all the people whose lives were extremely inconvenienced by the war—especially the children who lost their parents to the war in one way or another and were now suffering poverty in the name of the dream to build a democratic Uganda. Perhaps it is that guilt that keeps him going. He knows his burden is nothing compared to all the pain the war caused others. So, he knows that the least he can do is insist on the promise of a democratic Uganda. Because that is what he fought and killed for, and if he doesn't deliver, what does that make him?

Besigye would later learn that he was just a pawn in a game of powerful men. And in response, he has refused to acknowledge those so-called powerful men. He will never stop fighting for the Uganda he promised the dead because he has already lost too much; nothing other than a democratic Uganda can pay him back.

He was raised Christian, and those stories of faith have a way of devoting a man to something. And for him, he is devoted to paying the debt.

God bless that man. He is the greatest Ugandan that has ever lived.

I suppose if you don't learn calculus, and you don't have an intuition for it, you're condemned to analyzing the reality around you based on drama. And information that doesn't come heavily loaded with emotion becomes incomprehensible to you, or you're forced to project drama onto it in order to make sense of it. And sometimes, you can get it right. But most of the time, you'll simply make up stories that are absent from the actual information you've been given.

I remember when I applied for YALI (Obama's program for African leaders), I thought I had impressed the interviewing guy thoroughly. But at the last question, when he asked me whether I wanted to join the business or civic chapter, I chose business. The guy looked disappointed. I wasn't surprised when the axe finally knocked me.

The last thing I applied for was the German EFM Toolbox Distribution Academy, where I laid out my credentials as a filmmaker and software/data engineer. I made a very clear case for why the future of distribution is digital, and why my skillset is the best combination any Ugandan—or human anywhere—can have to innovate in film distribution on the continent. The guys never even acknowledged receipt of my email. In fact, they mistakenly added me to one of the webinars for the program, where I asked if this meant I was selected. Still, up to now, no one has responded to me again.

This program has been running for a while now in Africa, and it has never yielded any results, yet it has not been modified either. Film producers join the program, and they are taken to a fancy hotel in Germany, fed nice food for free, and indoctrinated into the false garbage of the Hollywood distribution playbook that will never work in Africa. After all, what do Germans know about African film distribution that Africans cannot figure out for themselves? Then, they are credentialed with a certificate. This process, in my mind, is meant to induce imposter syndrome. They will teach you things that will never work and set you up to blame yourself when you inevitably fail as a film producer.

And this is the USAID playbook, by the way. So when these NGOs, the UN, and other Western institutions for some reason decide that to qualify for their programs, one has to be between 18 and 35, what they actually mean is that they are looking for someone intelligent but still impressionable and gullible. This way, they can manipulate them with whatever form of indoctrination they have.

Haven't you ever wondered why, for some reason, these guys limit qualifications for their programs—some of which involve finding solutions to real-world problems like global warming—to near-children? The people with the least amount of real-world experience? My hunch is that the goal is to take intelligent Africans who were not poached by Harvard, Google, etc., out of the real-world intelligence market and give them dummy but well-paying jobs and prestigious titles so that they don't focus their intelligence on solving African problems. This, to me, is the most sophisticated form of brain drain.

Anyway, check out my analysis on what I think is wrong with film distribution in Uganda: https://xkmato.com/what-is-wrong-with-ugandan-film-distribution

When doubting Thomas asks Jesus, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” in John 14:5

Jesus answers, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." The propagandists the translate the words of this story, twist the words in a subtle but clever way to make it seem as if this character, Jesus, was claiming to be the way.

In the actual Gnostic scripture, you the reader are the I. So the correct way to understand that verse is by reading it from the first person.

Me, the reader, I am the way and the truth and the life. ...

People who are embarrassed by their thoughts have convinced themselves that those who aren't are seeking their validation.

My advice is that you should go on TikTok, X, or whatever platform and share your opinion and perspective on the world(You can read my deepest secrets on xkmato.com). Not only will the feedback catalyze your growth, but these unsolicited opinions you share on social media are going to be digested by the next iteration of LLMs, and they will be useful in influencing how others see the world when they query LLMs for information, clarity, and verification.

So by all means, post that rubbish or genius. Take it easy with the memes though. Say something original instead. Something only you could have said. Let history remember that you existed. Because whether you want it or not, history is being written on social media right now. And only those who are remembered get to live for ever.

Go forth and be fruitful, your lord commandeth thee.

How would it feel to own a piece of Kampala? Even if it is a very small piece worth, say, 100K. That 100K is going to be worth 1M in 10 years if, instead of keeping it in the bank, you buy a piece of City Square. I know how we can take back our land without any violence. I am going to show you all that our numbers are superior to their money. Like any other Ugandan with a dream, you have to play real estate on the side to survive. What if I brought the game to your phone?

The only reason any African with a brain in their skull would entertain Abrahamic-based spiritual practices is if you violently repress any other kind of spiritual thought. And this is exactly what the school system—most of which is church- or mosque-based—actually did. They indoctrinated children into this monotheistic perspective as a given: "You either believe in the one true God, or you're an atheist." Atheism, as well, is simply an anti-God form of monotheism. And so, for almost a century now, most so-called civilised Africans have simply been raised as spiritual cripples.

Even if you argue that African practices were not compatible with Western education because they were not formalized in a traditional sense, why does no school teach Buddhism and other Eastern spiritual schools of thought that, in my opinion, are miles ahead of the Abrahamic doctrines spiritually?

The idea that this colonial history is some sort of conspiracy theory—or an excuse for people who are looking for someone to blame, or a way of focusing on emergent disadvantages and framing them as intentional malice—is lazy thinking. Anyone with a body capable of processing thought can easily conclude that God, Church, Mosque, and Atheism are simply an Overton window imposed to control and extract from gullible societies.

I believe there is room to reform the Catholic Church and its doctrine, and move its foundation away from the Abrahamic stories. We should also throw away Paul's letters and use what is left to build a spiritual scripture that empowers, rather than pacifies, its practitioners.

"Make them all your friends," Jajja Kintu advises.

Who told you that you're poor? Are there not those who have less than you do who believe themselves rich? Before you can get what you love, you must first learn to love what you have. Changing what you love is growth. Changing what you must is repair. Growth turns something into more than it was before. Repair turns something back into what it was before it broke.

Who told you that you're broken? Who told you that you're a sinner? Who made you a victim?

Can you see that getting what you want won't cure you of the wanting? Can you see that the pain is in the wanting itself, and not the object of the wanting?

All I can teach you is that freedom is in befriending the wanting, because that will live with you forever. Don't try to control your wanting, and don't let it control you. That is how a friendship works. And only friendship is the path to harmony.

You're not poor. You just need to learn what you want and befriend it.
