Before retirement, I had franchised my company in many states in the United States and other countries as well. It was quite interesting to me that when you’re doing business with your customers, vendors, and partners in other countries you make friends quickly. Any preconceived notions that bother you about the culture, the structure of their society, or their government quickly become irrelevant.

The writings and teachings of Abu Mus’ab Al-Suri, who is one of Al-Qaeda’s most prominent ideologues and strategists. It laid the foundations for the current generation of followers of Al-Qaeda in the West who would be willing to engage in jihadi activities without leaving their home countries, and with little or no contact with the organization.

It is amazing how many nations have nuclear weapons, and it’s unfortunate because it all started with the United States. Russia had given nuclear technology to China, China had most likely given it to North Korea, and now North Korea wants to go into the nuclear weapons business, as a sideline export industry to pay for the economic travesty they’ve created there.

This ill thought out adage distracts and demeans the search for human understanding and we need be careful about what we automatically assume to be wise sayings.

Our stereotypes of Africa often lead us to conclude that they only adapted to change because they had to. An investigation into real African lives in ancient history will show that early Africans, far from being our primordial monkey ancestors, thought and planned just as we do. Sometimes they adapted to change; sometimes they simply wanted to safety net their assets; sometimes, just like us, they simply wanted to try something new. Join me and see what kinds of innovations in agriculture, pastoral science, and social technology early Africans made!
