What Ifá, an Indigenous binary knowledge system can teach us about AI - Impact of Social Sciences

"Western systems of thought are often positioned as universal and scientific, while Indigenous knowledge is framed as cultural or spiritual, and therefore unscientific. This binary framing reinforces epistemic injustice."

Makes me wonder what other systems of thought are available but ignored by mainstream western science and culture.

"Please understand that social media is not a place to get news and information.

It is a place that Silicon Valley created to steal your time, your attention,by delivering you the equivalent of junk food.

And like any bad habit, you should quit.

And if you can't quit, at least do not let this be your primary source of information"
