Addiction is poison, not witchcraft. Sugar is poison. Tobacco is poison. Marijuana is poison. Why do you call my addiction to sugar diabetes and another's addiction to weed, witchcraft? Storytelling. You can do that intelligently so you don't hurt others. We can tell stories about disease and belief without making one society look like they are above others. What most people call witchcraft is usually just an undiagnosed chronic illness. And what most people call chronic illness is usually a resistance to accusations from family. These two are the causes of most addiction.
I feel so sorry for the kids growing up in the ghetto doing weed because weed is heavy. Teringa waragi. Bw’oba teweesiga mutwe gwo mu'ville, vaako ddala. Obwo buwaragi bwangu ne sukali mwangu, naye enjaga yo nzibu. Bituufu by’owulira. Ejja kukusula eddalu. Olina okugiyiga; tomala g’anywa ky’olabye oba jireke bulesi. Butwa bwereere.
Mujje tukole. Nange ddipo nzigaddewo. Mu kifo ky’okulwanira akatono, twetereeze twongereko. Si kizibu nnyo okukola. Abatulangira obunafu be batukolimira. Naye ekikolimo tekyitta kamunye. Oyize okubuuka, va mu kisu.
Nina ka platform kange akagenda okumalawo kibba ttaka naye nnoonya gwe nkola naye. Bw’oba nga ye gwe, nkonako. Ewaka nvuddeyo.
Naye bwe munneetaaga temutya kumpita, nja kubaawo. Mwe bange forever. Naye bwe mba sikwesiga ne tukola deal n’ontomeza, nnaaloopa wa? Kuba gwe family yange.
Tuve ku bitamiza. Tukole kyetumanyi tulabe ekidako. Kuba obutamivu nakyo kirwade. Nga diabates. Nga pressure. Naye ne family bwojjisa'ako enyo emanyi ekutamiza. Ffe eno netulowoza nti oyo yagwa eddalu naye olunsi oyinza okulaba nga kutamira kwekwasoka. Ekiwubalo yenzikiza ayita etamilo. Nonya ekyikusanyua okikole. Teli bulamu bulala. Naye mu tamilo temuli sanyu, burwadde bwelele. Kale esanyu dyo mwelili amazima. Naye obutwa bulibika paka lwebukuta.
Yiga okukozesa esimu yo. Kuba bajja kujikozesa okukuza mu buudu. Nayo etamiza.
Love is what makes a home. Not land. Not parenting. If you get the love right. Family feels less heavy and that is something no one can teach you. You just have to want it. Otherwise, you'll find yourself in a cult. It doesn't matter what you believe, there is a cult for it. Addiction is a cult as much as witchcraft is a poison.
There is nothing out there whose role is to give you things you ask for. There is no father in haven. They lied. You have to create everything you want. If it is a TV and a Car, by all means keep your job. But if you want more. Kendeza kubunafu.
Kati n'esabbo ndigadewo. Mwe mubonabone oba mweyagale ne balubale bamwe. Kyendabye ko kimala. Ngenze kukola bugaga.
I suppose Kiira Motors works best as a lab. But a lab needs a visionary like me. This job is too complex for CEO types. If they were to headhunt me, the only way I would consider the job is if I were allowed to run it with complete transparency. I would accept a decent salary, but I would demand the kind of stock that would make me a billionaire in USD if I met my targets in five years. I need only five years to put them on the right path. If I am going to be forced to join a tribe, Omugagga Matovu sounds like a title I can get comfortable with. Jay-Z taught me well. But don't be surprised if they ignore me and try to install my clone instead.
Pyepa! The last recommendation algorithm.
In order for you to know whether one algorithm is good or bad, you need to have another to compare it to. Most of the other things we measure—like screen time, sleep, and social interactions—are proxies, and most of them are wrong, in fact.
Sometimes the party is just boring and TikTok is what is saving you from an alcoholic relapse. Sometimes you cannot sleep because you're anxious about a job interview, and scrolling LinkedIn is a good way to bore yourself to sleep. Sometimes you don't want to over-deliver at work because it will intimidate your nepo boss. So, after doing the whole month's work in one hour, you have 7 hours left in the day—and the rest of the whole month—to sit at your desk pretending to work. Why not spend that time on YouTube indulging in Huberman's wellness evangelism?
The reason you find yourself on the screen has nothing to do with dopamine or some other nonsensical science-sounding words; you simply have nothing better to do with your time. If your grandparents had phones, they would also prefer to scroll sometimes rather than taking all those hikes that took years off their lives. Yes, taking a walk in the forest is good for your body, but it also increases your chances of getting bitten by a snake. That is why you're sitting on your couch instead of indulging the step-counting app on your phone. You could get hit by a boda, my guy. In Uganda, over 1,000 people get involved in serious boda accidents every single month. It is the Wild West off of that couch.
Anyway, back to the algorithm. Google has convinced itself that these white male nerds they hire are some kind of gods who are smart enough to create one single algorithm to serve us all. So when you scroll YouTube, TikTok, or LinkedIn, you're fed content that these white and Chinese male nerds are certain is what you need to be watching at that exact time. The reason you hate these platforms is not because TikTok or YouTube are bad per se, but because these extremely incomplete people are suffering from what I call the strongman syndrome. They believe that they were chosen by the gods of math to decide what should or should not show on the feeds of the billion people who use these platforms.
That is why I am going to prove their incompetence to them by releasing the final algorithm. One algorithm to rule them all. The One Ring of recommendation engines. The Elder Wand of the attention economy. The six Infinity Stones of your daily feed. Pyepa!
To do that, I need the right platform. A platform that allows me to sell the Pyepa algorithm as a service, but also one that allows you to compare Pyepa to TikTok or YouTube and inevitably agree that Pyepa is the best—without me first tracking how many times you poop in a day and all other kinds of unnecessary data that should stay private.
A big part of that is what the XkMato protocol will solve. Part of what the XkMato protocol intends to do is very similar to what the Nostr protocol is attempting, though Nostr's documentation is a mess and nobody has bothered to put decent breakdowns of it on YouTube. If they have, the PhDs who build the YouTube algorithm aren't smart enough to recommend the docs to me. Otherwise, I would prefer not to duplicate good work if it already exists.
My thinking is that if we build a protocol that has integrity and fairness enforced from the ground up, then we don't need to set any rules of competition or scare our competitors with grandiose claims of the pending takeover of artificial general intelligence. The consumers will get what they want, and the stronger magician will bend the world to his will without having to turn to witchcraft.
I hear people speaking in metaphors about rockets, saying things like, "We are finally conquering heaven." What people overlook about Galileo’s contribution, for example, is that he first had to conquer the fear the Church manufactured to keep the population rulable.
Galileo's bravery is what opened our eyes to a new way of seeing—one that Newton would later formalize to bring a new era into existence.
Today, physics is boring because it lacks poetry. It takes itself too seriously. Physicists act as if humor and entertainment are only for us "simple people." In reality, all they’ve done is select for each other, turning the field into a room of clones who share the exact same thoughts.

I think that the biggest misconception about gratitude is that it comes from receiving. This, again, is a church trick too. When you kneel down and thank god for your day, the Buddhists call that meditating on the feeling of gratitude. But the language that the church uses makes you believe that there is a supernatural thing out there that you owe a favor and must be thankful to. And that is why sometimes your mind gets distracted as you pray and start begging instead. Because you cannot summon that feeling of gratitude, you request it from this supernatural being. But since, when you do feel it, you're conditioned to relate it to things that went well for you that day, you start to believe that to ask God for gratitude, you need to beg that god makes things go well for you tomorrow.
This kind of witchcraft tricks your mind to depend on something outside your control. When you are raised with this mentality, the church and all the other colonial institutions construct this idea of authority in your mind. If you're quick to comply, this mindset allows you to excel in school by just believing the shit your teacher tells you. It allows you to get promoted at work by just playing the office politics of kissing your boss' ass even when you can smell the shit. And if you're slow to comply, you simply reject everything. And if you're forced to pretend to believe things that don't make sense to you, you fear everyone. After all, if you're also pretending, who isn't? At some point, the pretense overwhelms all your other attributes and you become one fake-ass body controlled by your resistance or compliance. Put a pretender in the right system, and you can get him to do whatever you want using reward and punishment. You can blame that for the state of society today. The rot begins from the spiritual realm where we force our children to inherit our Gods.
Because the God of Christians robs you of your ability to be grateful. Gratitude, when used as a prayer, is a form of worship, but you are not supposed to be grateful to some character book for the things that were done to you during the day. You are supposed to be grateful to yourself for the things that you did during the day. Gratitude is a meditation.
If you gave to the beggar, you should be grateful for that. If you provided for your family, you should be grateful for that. If you did your work for the day, you should be grateful for that. Because if you meditate on gratitude instead of praying for it, you reinforce the will to want to do more of those things you'd be grateful for, but praying just makes you a beggar. And a beggar is at the mercy of another's gratitude.
Anyway, gratitude, like pain, like horn, like hunger, like love, like beauty, like perspective, like belonging, is just a feeling. A life lived exploring gratitude will make any man happy. And the Buddhists have a shortcut for this life. Instead of praying, just meditate on gratitude. That practice will make you exude so much joy, even your enemies will want to be your friend.

Prophets are cuckolds. Why observe and predict the world manifesting when there is an option to create it? Why settle for being a prophet in a universe that has Gods?
Most prophets are suffering from the theistic mental illness of assuming the spiritual world is supernatural. And this supernatural idea started with the Catholic Church. The sorcerers before never believed in any God outside of the natural; they simply knew that power can be cultivated and wielded in an infinite number of ways. However, they did not believe that someone who puts a curse on you is any more powerful or supernatural than the person who throws a spear through your chest.
This pacifist idea of predicting the future while at the same time having no say at all about how it is going to manifest is only a virtue for a man who has no desire—the Buddhist version of waking up. But for a prophet, especially so-called prophets of doom who predict things they have an aversion to or that could hurt someone, it is a form of spiritual defeat.
It is understandable why the Church reinforced this idea of prophecy in order to trick the congregation into the same spiritual servitude. After all, what is the business of the Church if not to claim the believer's soul? It is safe to say that Church prophets are all bafere, or at best, useful idiots.
This attack on prophets is also directed at the analysts who predict wars, financial collapses, and all manner of global doom—especially those who have captured enough attention to turn their prophecies into self-fulfilling spells. What is the point of the gift of vision if not creation? There is no such thing as God's plan. These are just ideas, or what sorcerers call spells, that are cast on you to pacify you in order to harvest your natural energy to manifest someone else's desires.
Prophecy is a mental illness. Analysis for its own sake is a lazy man's indulgence. A man bends the universe to his will, even if he needs to walk on water against the tide.
The global Empire’s military and technological apparatus is so far beyond anything any African warlord can muster that we cannot even sneeze at it. Watching Ibrahim Traoré and his junta friends in West Africa strut around in fatigues, staging anti-imperialist theatre, is pure comedy. If the Western imperial core actually decided to use full-spectrum kinetic force against them, it wouldn't take 24 hours.
Anyone seduced by third-world military chest-thumping should go back and ask Idi Amin what the Israelis did at Entebbe International Airport in 1976. You can have all the radio rhetoric and Soviet-era hardware you want, but when an adversary with total intelligence and aerospace dominance decides to humiliate you in your own backyard, they fly in, execute the mission, and fly out before your generals finish buckling their boots. The leaders in the Sahel are playing with fire, mistaking the Empire’s temporary geopolitical distraction for military parity. That is if it is not just a disguise and they're playing for the Empire's team. Confronting the Empire on the battlefield where it has spent centuries perfecting annihilation is suicide.
It took more than 2,000 years—from the institutional foundations of Rome and Constantine’s fusion of church, state, and capital—to construct and nourish the global order we live under today. If we want to upset this order, or at least modify it so that African agency is taken seriously, we have to be willing to make 2,000-year plans. We cannot keep making cheap, reactionary moves as if our children won’t have children.
How do you build a 2,000-year resistance? You avoid premature confrontation, and you integrate. Let us learn from the Empire to reinforce the resistance.
Look at China. China did not rise in the late 20th and early 21st centuries by picking premature fistfights with Washington or staging noisy military coups. It rose by keeping its head down, cooperating with the global system on the surface, absorbing technology, and relentlessly organizing the single most important resource on earth: human capital. They played the long game until their industrial and institutional weight became impossible to ignore.
However, as we study China, we must also be ruthless about not repeating its mistakes. In its rush to industrialize and build a counter-empire, China treated its own people as raw fuel—crushing local autonomy, erasing regional textures, and flattening human beings into exhausted cogs for the factory floor.
If Africa tries to copy the European or Chinese nation-state model, we walk straight into a cultural slaughterhouse. Look at the fate of Europe: centuries of nation-state homogenization stripped Europeans of their older, localized communal identities, turning vibrant regional cultures into sterile national monoliths—and eventually into a single, fragile racial monolith where diverse peoples are manipulated into seeing themselves merely as a "white people."
Our true survival lies in the exact opposite direction. Instead of African presidents playing mini-emperor and strangling traditional institutions like Buganda to feed a centralized bureaucracy, we should be building resilient, federated foundations rooted in the genuine indigenous legitimacy we still possess.
When a person pays allegiance to their clan or kingdom, that loyalty is organic; it doesn't need to be enforced at gunpoint. If we integrate across the continent through our diverse indigenous identities—turning our traditional institutions into modern engines of education, cultural production, dispute resolution, and human productivity without exploiting our people—we create a decentralized web that the Empire cannot easily decapitate. You can bomb Gadhafi's palace or sanction Mugabe's central bank in 24 hours; you cannot easily conquer a continent of deeply rooted, self-reliant, culturally intact communities cooperating on a generational timeline.
Stop the military theatre. Stop cannibalizing our own heritage to build paper states. Invest in the minds, the cinema, the productivity, and the indigenous institutions of our people—and build for the next two millennia.

Unlike the physical realm—where if one owns the land, that person almost owns the people on that land too. Look at what is happening in Gaza, for example, to see how control over physical land dictates the very fate of the people living on it. In the digital realm, however, the dynamic is different: the people actively create the real estate. We are the ones building value in the digital realm, yet the billionaires are moving in to enclose it.
Larry Ellison has just bought major pillars of media in America, but Americans, if they so choose, can start actively creating media outside Larry's empire. They are capable of creating entirely alternative sources of content so that Larry doesn't get the option to extract from them by artificially creating scarcity in the media space, because that is obviously the end goal.
Consider Elon Musk, too. While Larry is buying up the studios and infrastructure that create the actual content Americans consume, Musk is buying and building the infrastructure that transports that content. What Starlink is going to end up becoming is a global internet company that takes the power of internet censorship away from your bad government and puts it into the hands of Musk's empire.
This form of centralization is necessary to control the American and global mind, because if one man is in charge of all the content you consume and another man is in charge of how you consume that content, it is just a matter of time until those two men own you attention entirely and can tell you what is right to think and what is wrong to think.
Very soon, as is the case with land, you shall mysteriously struggle to communicate digitally when the feudalists manufacture an artificial digital scarcity. By that time, we shall be too dependent on their infrastructure to reasonably demand fairness.
Unfortunately, this is the all-too-familiar colonial game. They come and build a church. Then they build a school. Then they build a hospital. They build research centers, and you thank them for how wonderfully great they are as people. Then they kill your gods, and your children worship theirs. Then they set exams to extract the most compliant from your kind. Then they replace your healing practices with their medicine. Then they make your seed impotent and sell you their proprietary version. Then they call you poor because you need them to access God, to raise your children, to cure your sick, and to feed yourself.
They already use the digital realm to control how you think and feel about anything by tuning your attention at will. Imagine a world where they own all of your attention.
Welcome to Slavery 2.0!
Most politicians and other conmen who perform intellectualism aim to exploit your shame of being ignorant. When you didn't really understand what someone said but end up referencing them or agreeing with them, it is usually because you want to signal intelligence in order to compensate for the shame you feel for being ignorant. I think this shame is taught to us in school when classes display open academic rankings, as if to say that those of you below on the list are less intelligent than those who are above on the list.
While I am obviously not attacking merit entirely, I think the ranking as it is done in schools not only turns curiosity into a vice by shaming the ignorant, it also breeds a fear of failure from day one. So when people leave school, they do degrees in things that they not only don't like but also don't understand. Some of them go on to do PhDs and even master's degrees.
For most people, instead of dropping out of university when it doesn't make sense to them, they start to believe that they are stupid instead. In return, they end up performing intelligence instead of learning. And those who can, cheat. Obviously, cheating is usually done through bribing, so don't be surprised when someone who bribed their way into a degree also bribes their way into a job and a promotion. That is why prostitution in corporations is almost normalized. Most people call it cheating too, but in my opinion, a married man and woman who have an affair at work are only cheating if there is no quid pro quo that comes with the affair. If one of them gets a professional advantage out of the relationship, then that is clearly Bad Black's turf. And no amount of English can sanitize that into cheating. I remember a BBC documentary by Patience Atuhaire that attempted to paint the female students who sleep with lecturers at Makerere for marks as some sort of victims. They are no more victims than the driver without a license who fires the policeman a ka 20k.
This kind of shame can be weaponized by power mongers to hijack democracy with corruption. And the trick behind engineering this type of shame is by creating artificial scarcity. If you drop out of university and don't get a job, it is your fault, despite all those who graduated and don't have jobs. A power system that stigmatizes people who aren't cut out for formal education also automatically creates backdoors for formal education credentialing so that it retains the ability to credential whoever is willing to serve its agenda.
This obsession with credentials over actual knowledge is exactly why our education system is fundamentally unprepared for AI. Take the computing courses being taught at all universities today in Uganda. About 70% of everything being taught is an AI prompt away. And the teachers who teach this prompting are also learning while pretending to have some authority when in front of their students. They are embarrassed of looking ignorant.
If I was at university right now, I would take on a skill like photography, plumbing, car mechanics, welding, or anything that I can only learn by doing it to hedge against the unconvincing probability of getting any value from the university degree. AI is an entirely new paradigm and, despite what your favorite activist stands for, it is going to take the job you're studying to qualify for. The only question is whether it will be before or after you leave university.
Stop convincing yourself that you know the things you don't really know. Stop hoping that there are authority figures that can know for you. Learn a skill that doesn't require you to show credentials to prove that you have it. AI is not coming for the credential. It is coming to do the actual work you lost your entire youth training for.
This world is run by liars, and you will have to learn to lie in order to live in it properly, but the only mistake you can make is to lie to yourself.
There is no such thing as speaking the truth because every act of speech is a reduction from the truth.
Knowing the truth is what will set you free.
Skillful speech can be used to point to the truth, but the truth cannot be spoken.
It can only be known.
One only knows what one pays attention to.
So, if you pay attention to what you know, you will be aware of what you know, and that which you know that you know is the truth.
And like everything else, the truth is always changing, is not satisfactory, and is not you or yours.
It can only set you free.
