Part 1 Caribbean Thought Lecture 9 Should Theology Transcend Culture? Exploring Afro-Caribbean Beliefs

Image
This is Part One of a long Lecture exploring attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs and delving into the question should theology transcend culture? The Lecture is delivered by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie at Jamaica Theological Seminary available on The NeoLiberal Round Podcast. #Caribbeanunity and #blackpeoples unity threatened the #statusquo . So, the plan was always to implement strategies that prevent poor people's unity; the value of their strength, such as rejecting and diluting one's language as creole and religion as evil for a #eurocentric one. Hence we want to rediscover our unity by revisiting our #history and exploring the changing attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean and indigenous traditions in the #Americas . How did we get here? https://renaldocmckenzie.com. Support us at https://theneoliberal.com and Subscribe for free  @RenaldoMckenzie 

Leadership in Peril: The Weight of Words in the Shadows of History

  Trump Versus Biden Leaders must be careful when they speak. It is unacceptable and inexcusable for DonaldTrump to say there's gonna be a bloodbath even if he were referring to the socio-economic ramifications of voting for JoeBiden . Trump 's speeches may have led to #January6th , so he must " t oe the line " as some of his MAGA supporters in the GOP with extremists bent may misrepresent his statements for a call to repeat January6thInsurrection . We must learn from history , but clearly, we have not. Yet, we have a system in place to prevent a #bloodbath , TheJusticeDept which is not working, as the system USSupremeCourt in place driven by humancondition is now making excuses as to why they can't prevent another one JANUARY 6TH or to implement and execute #laws that limit the actions of those who may want to do so or to do so again....

AI Technology does not Threaten Human Existence Today or Tomorrow.

Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations by: Renaldo McKenzie with Contributions from Martin Oppenheimer Let me make it clear: #aitechnology does not threaten human existence today or tomorrow. If anything, it challenges humanity's ways of life centered around the #dialectic of whether we live to work, or work to live and the earnings or currencies we have tied to the weight we place on types of work. #AI upends this dialectic which means we must rethink the ways we have organized life, for life is what we make it. #Excerpt of my upcoming #book : " Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations," by #renaldomckenzie and #martinoppenheimer Renaldo McKenzie is the author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance.

Grade Point Average (GPA) Should Include Paid or Free Courses with the Same Amount of Effort and Learning

Question : Why do some universities offer elective courses called SOPHIA where completing them doesn't affect a student's GPA, only their overall credits? This seems unfair and like a money-making scheme for schools that are supposed to be nonprofit. The Department of Education may need to investigate colleges like Capella University. Universities should rethink their policies on grading for courses that require the same effort and learning, regardless of whether they're paid or free.

FaceBook and IG are Back Up and Running: Check the Download Detector

  #facebookisup #facebookisbackup They have resolved the issues. Apparently, the blackout had stemmed from a hack that Meta, and Facebook, and Instagram systems had detected and initiated a #shutdown to prevent any #security breach which was a good thing and a necessary mechanism. Part of #SPAM and #cybersecurity involves detection and prevention so the system will even shut down temporarily to stop hackers from intruding. However, the fact that this keeps happening means that FACEBOOK is always under attack from #hackers trying to get onto its system. But so far the mechanisms are in place to prevent this from happening. You can always get status updates on any #socialmedia via http:// theneoliberal.com or https:// downdetector.com Earlier, #Facebook was down, especially if you were using the media platform via a @Google   device or resource. It seems to work if using a @Windows   or @Microsoft   device. However, if you have a #2FA connected to a @google...
