For everyone, including Secretary-General Annan and so many, many more Africans. How many more Africans would you like to hear if from?

Nothing you said prevents any group from being a group.

• Not all members of a group need to be the same.
  
  
• Not all members of a group need to know each other.
  
  
• Not all members of a group need to live in villages (or not).

  Why do you continue to insist that Africans can not choose to represent themselves as African - including sharing their African identity through African proverbs and sayings?
  
  I posted this quote for you too:
  
  "Africa is one continent, one people, and one nation. The notion that in order to have a nation it is necessary for there to be a common language, a common territory and common culture has failed to stand the test of time or the scrutiny of scientific definition of objective reality." - Kwame Nkrumah, Prime Minister and President of Ghana - Class Struggle in Africa, (1970)

I'm re-reading Thinking, Fast and Slow at the moment. More and more I see many people's problems with science as being rooted in them trusting their intuition far more than they should. If a theory or argument in science doesn't "make sense" to their intuition or gut feeling, they dismiss it rather than let System 2 take over and think statistically or analytically.

He ought to know.

The shock of the depression probably added to this mindset, and the early feeling that it was only temporary made a mass conversion to socialism look pretty drastic.

For when you're tired of being right.

You really need the original formatting here:

According to Marshall Rosenberg (Nonviolent Communication), it is because we don't teach it. We still have feelings and needs, but often time as children we are left feeling as though feelings and needs are selfish and shameful. But because they still exist it ends up being expressed in tragic ways.

Or if it is really bad, you end up a "Nice Guy" (making secret contracts and hoping to get what you want without ever actually telling anyone what it is).
