Why are we social media buddies? I don't know..


The essence of all of humanity's innovation and invention was and still is about the reduction of the time it takes to do anything, and rendering the distance between fellow humans irrelevant.  Decentralisation is thus the most unannounced intent of all of man's quest to being freed from the risks of a centre controlled by a few. As contests to be in control of the centre intensity so will innovation to establish the credibility of the periphery grow. In a world that is perpetually looking like is becoming a single market, currencies that facilitate the interaction of value and cost of relationships will become nodes of trust beyond the magic of eye contact and handshake. 

The trust algorithms embedded in the digital accuracy of blockchain based currencies facilitating human interaction and transaction are fast becoming templates upon which the government of all human co-existence activities occur. With the world having grown into a highly distributed place that is increasingly reducing the need to be at certain places, the pressure to create centres that are a shared locus out of which the periphery can re-centre at its decentralised nodes without disconnecting from the source, is mounting.


The safe record keeping prowess and trust protocols of blockchain technologies as a transacting platform and interaction currency driving mechanism might require leapfrogging leadership mindsets, from us.  The almost digital autonomous nature of the gadgets we use to connect and disconnect with each other have not only reduced our accountability to each other but increased the appetite to want to infringe into our very autonomy.


As the exponential value of each of us grows, and our capacity to multiply the reach of our views and ideation beyond the gadgets we are texting into, so is the portended future of the chart group we have become. It will thus be the extent of our collaboration that will aggregate our knowledge, wisdom , experience, and expertise towards the collective good of those in the periphery of advantage.


The growing calls for chat groups to extract more than just social returns out of the screen time invested are what we should now start to interrogate. As the cyberspace is growing into a 'free space' and an 'information portal' as well as a space to self organise into nodes of a common network of highly networked individuals, we have an opportunity to increase our social media efficiency for societal impact. 


The need therefore to catapult ourselves into a black box of idea innovation and implementation mandarins has arrived. The view of the world beyond our gadgets as a stateless ideas junk folder should rather be replaced by the attitude to become the agency of the destiny we want. Omniscient as we might have thus far projected ourselves, we are still a ledger of regimented individuals whose strength is still dangerously the selfishness we have come together to dismantle.


With sufficient co-ordination, we can redefine the country's land-, economy-, financial-, and idea-scapes. If we can isolate just three days to deal with how we should co-ordinate ourselves, we will be a 'block' that 'chains' itself onto something with better returns on screen time invested.

The revolution can't breathe; it is incomplete.

Only some political revolutions get to be completed. Because all revolutions end up with a settlement by elites and incumbents, they have become an outcome of historical moment-defined interests and less about the actual revolution. This settlement often involves a power-sharing agreement among the ruling elites and the incumbent government, which may not fully address the revolutionary goals. When the new power relations change, the new shape they take almost always comes with new challenges. As the quest for political power surpasses that of pursuing social and economic justice, alliances formed on the principles of a national revolution suffocate.    The ANC-led tripartite alliance's National Democratic Revolution is incomplete. The transfer of the totality of the power it sought to achieve still needs to be completed. While political power is arguably transferred, the checks and balances which the settlement has entrenched in the constitutional order have made the transfer...

The Ngcaweni and Mathebula conversation. On criticism as Love and disagreeing respectfully.

Busani Ngcaweni wrote about criticism and Love as a rendition to comrades and Comrades. His rendition triggered a rejoinder amplification of its validity by introducing  a dimension of disagreeing respectfully. This is a developing conversation and could trigger other rejoinders. The decision to think about issues is an event. Thinking is a process in a continuum of idea generation. Enjoy our first grins and bites; see our teeth. Busani Ngcaweni writes,   I have realised that criticism is neither hatred, dislike, embarrassment, nor disapproval. Instead, it is an expression of Love, hope, and elevated expectation—hope that others can surpass our own limitations and expectation that humanity might achieve greater heights through others.   It is often through others that we project what we aspire to refine and overcome. When I criticise you, I do not declare my superiority but believe you can exceed my efforts and improve.   Thus, when we engage in critici...

The ANC succession era begins.

  The journey towards the 16th of December 2027 ANC National Elective Conference begins in December 2024 at the four influential regions of Limpopo Province. With a 74% outcome at the 2024 National and Provincial elections, which might have arguably saved the ANC from garnering the 40% saving grace outcome, Limpopo is poised to dictate the cadence of who ultimately succeeds Cyril Ramaphosa, the outgoing ANC President.  The ANC faces one of its existential resilience-defining sub-national conferences since announcing its inarguably illusive and ambitious renewal programme. Never has it faced a conference with weakened national voter support, an emboldened opposition complex that now has a potential alternative to itself in the MK Party-led progressive caucus and an ascending substrate of the liberal order defending influential leaders within its ranks. The ideological contest between the left and right within the ANC threatens the disintegration of its electora...
