“You don't need much to win the trust of apes, just say you'll make lots and lots of bombs, because in the book of apes, to be free is to be feared, and to be feared is to develop the capacity to kill fellow human beings - that's an absolute must in the democracy of monkeys, not brain, not heart, not character whatsoever, just the most acute animal instinct for killing, and this is what the apes call Geopolitics!”

“Eurocentrism - The First Global Catastrophe (Sonnet 2626) Climate change is nothing, the first humanly caused global catastrophe was eurocentrism - before colonials, science was rooted in society, and philosophy was rooted in community, not snobbery, medicine was centered on people, not profit, religion was lived experience, not salesmanship - farmland was family, not property, innovation empowered life, not luxury - psychology prioritized understanding and healing, not analysis and isolation, poetry was the everyday way of life, not aristocratic escapism. Sure, there was superstition back then as well, but no superstition of the pre-colonial world comes close in atrocity to the fancy superstitions of the imperials marketed as progress. Eurocentrism is the biggest impediment to education - stand and burn the colonial syllabus, that's enlightenment!”

“Unified Global South (Sonnet 2687-2688) White bias doesn't affect only white people, it affects colored people as well. For example, US citizens can practically travel to the entire world without visa, despite being the most undeserving, while rightful Africans cannot travel even within the continent without visa. This is why I say, white is not a color, white is a mindset of exploitation. If you want to rescue your plundered dignity, first you gotta decolonize your own mindset. Philosophy alone doesn't advance a society, you gotta build the infrastructure for it. For example, make the entire Global South Visa Free for all its citizens, and I guarantee, within a hundred years the Global South will be the Powergrid of the Human Race, like it once was, until the predators of Europe contaminated the world with their unwelcome touch. Foster the psychology, policy will follow. Foster the intent, intelligence will follow. The ultimate mission is a unified humanity, but practical integration of the human race beyond color and culture is not possible until we decontaminate the planet of every last trace of colonial vice legislated as virtue.”
