meeting Wole Soyinka, Nobel laureate for Literature


the old purpose of education was the manipulation of knowledge towards a utopia of classlessness. but philistinism among others has turned education and re-education into a primary tool for indoctrination. statehood is artificial and a concept by victors. statehood breeds class divisions. class divisions mean hegemony and struggle. fundamentalism and extremism like the Daish emerge. people take flight to safety of states. states become stronger, and the vicious cycle continues. curiously, the "Islamic State" moniker reinforces both religion as divisions and the state as an ideal. the media, in that sense, "plays footsy with terror" by indulging their preferred name instead of the more degrading "Daish".
