yes, how deluded of me to think a native African who was awarded a doctorate for his work on the topic of African culture and belief systems by the university that produced Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, John Maynard Keynes and Stephen Hawking would have the understanding of the subject possessed by ‘some guy on the internet’
The problem with the kind of person you’re responding to is that they don’t believe someone like Mbiti carried a valid argument because there must be some kind of underlying agenda that drove his work.

How about you stop hiding behind credentialism

It's okay if that is too difficult for you. I can spoon feed it to you like a baby bird if you need.
perhaps you should consider being the cleverest instead

What? What notion was I addressing in this thread? Hint: it was not a refutation of the original hypothesis offered in this video. If it wasn't that, then what was I refuting? Again, if you need me to feed it to you like a baby bird, I am more than happy to, as I consider it a form of public service.

What? How about we focus on the arguments in this thread instead of your own insecurity about your intellect? Re-read the thread, note the points I made and note what I attempted to refute and what I didn't.

Nope. What am I refuting in this thread?

Yes, and you will recieve your bill in that continuous present moment as well. Time is an illusion....albeit a persistent one.

I get the “it’s all relative argument”
I’m sick of having to pretend that these cultures are equal and a good addition to the West.
