Dumbing Us Down - The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling #WeAreReading Ep1
Join us for a live read-through of John Taylor Gatto's 1992 book "Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling." Though written over 30 years ago, the lessons of this book as as relevant today as they ever have been. With technology rapidly changing the way we work, the Prussian model of schooling is less relevant than it has ever been. We'll read a section of the book and reflect on its lessons it has for us today. After the live stream has ended, it will be archived for Patreons and supporters.

From 'The Invention of Women" written by Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí, Chapter 3: "Making History, Creating Gender: The Invention of Men and Kings in the writing of Oyo Oral Tradition. In short, this book is a critique of Western Thought, but particularly western conceptions of gender and feminism. For Oyěwùmí, gender is a Western concept which has been imposed upon the rest of the World. This has caused particular violence where African society is considered to be innately patriarchal and misogynistic, when in fact, according to Oyěwùmí, the western ontological construct of gender simply didn't exist in Yoruba society prior to conquest and colonisation. Once the stream finishes, it will be archived for supporters. To become a supporter and access the full back catalogue, go here: https://elywananda.substack.com/.

This is the first edition of #WeAreReading EXTRA. This series will run concurrently with the regular weekend streams and will share everything I'm learning about science and health. My main aim is to disseminate information that you can consider in your overall approach to health and wellbeing.
The first topic we'll be covering is Vitamin D. Follow a recent health issue, I've I've been devoting most of my spare time to understanding my health. And this has led me to Vitamin D. As I'm studying, I'm becoming more convinced that insufficiency and deficiency in Vitamin D is a critical health issue across the global North. This applies to everyone, but especially darker-skinned people including Africans.

In this live stream, I'll be reflecting on the foundational ontological concepts laid out by Ra Un Nefer Amen's Metu Neter vol 2. Specifically, we'll be considering the questions, what actually is man, and what is God? We'll see that these ontological and metaphysical questions are of very direct relevance to the book's argument as to how mankind can elevate from the lower level existence we take as the norm, toward a higher, more advanced state of individual and social being. I look forward to having you join me for this weighty conversation!
