Reasoning: A panacea to world's problems In the ultimate guide to rationality, Steven Pinker, who is a renowned Canadian cognitive psychologist, author, and atheist, "speaks to Big Think in this wide-ranging conversation on topics such as human progress, the tragedy of the commons, Bayesian reasoning, and strategies to curb our most destructive instincts, with the ultimate goal of improving the world for everyone. "Central to Pinker’s argument is the promotion of rationality. Pinker maintains that humans are not innately irrational; instead, our thought processes are better adapted to low-tech environments. "So, how can we cultivate greater rationality in today’s complex world? Pinker believes that one key lies in improving education. "By teaching children critical thinking skills, we can better equip them to identify biases, emotional reasoning, and cognitive distortions. A more effective educational approach might emphasize probability theory, the elements of persuasive rhetoric, and developing empathy by understanding the perspectives of those with differing viewpoints. By fostering these skills, we can nurture a more rational and informed society capable of addressing the challenges of our modern era." What is Bayesian reasoning? Bayesian reasoning is a statistical approach to making inferences about an unknown quantity of interest based on prior knowledge and new information. Tips to apply Bayesian reasoning in everyday life: Remember your priors Priors are usually stereotypical thinking people have about different things. Combining the prior knowledge you have with the evidence you observe gives you a more certain and robust conclusion. Think of the counterfactuals Don’t stick to your priors forever We are sometimes stubborn to admit making mistakes. But we should change our mindset to “I am updating my beliefs based on evidence I’ve gathered so that it is closer to the truth”. Luwabian reasoning According to Otem, the origin of the Yoruba word, "omoluwabi" is a Yoruba man (a philosopher and moralist) that bears Luwabi born in the 140,000th year of the homo sapiens era (we're in the 282,023th year according to him). He offers compelling evidence for the various stories and histories in his book. Otem calls Luwabi an ancestor of today's Yoruba people. In Luwabian reasoning, "Morality is natural, immorality is a habit developed. Morality makes a nation, but terrorism tears it apart. But if you develop morality because you were first immoral, then it means you are coming back to your natural self. Think before you act, so that you don’t end up putting a finger of regret in your mouth. Do not agree easily (with others) until you see reasons why you should agree." -- Book of Universal History (pp. 281-286) I believe a world developed based on reasoning (critical thinking) will help humanity solve its myriad problems, including slavery (or slave trade), poverty, diseases, climate change, and others, and make the world a better place. 1 Like 1 Share |

A001: Geestenjay, your grouse with me seems to stem either from a misunderstanding of my position or a display of selective bias on African history and past. You are angry with me for calling African history barbaric, and maybe you think that in me calling African history barbaric, I also look favorably at European history or other regions history. OR you yourself want to look at other people's history as very terrible and African history as a good thing. Except, the simple truth is that the human race evolved from simple minded barbarity. No empire of the past came through without violent bloodshed and innumerable atrocities by modern day standards. 2000 years ago, African empires constantly battled themselves for supremacy, subjugation and expansion. Not even foreigners but sometimes, tribesmen against neighboring tribes tribesmen. One Yoruba village against another Yoruba village, one Igbo vs another igbo town. Anioma vs aniocha battle is a tale told till today where kinds sacrificed their own women to gain an upper hand. Then talking about African cultural practices, you see the most ignorant and barbarity of the barbarics. Legalized institutionalized incest. Where if a father of a household died, the son could inherit his own mother as a wife. Mass murdering of babies; where innocent twins were slaughtered in their numbers. Mass murdering of albinos; where albinos were slaughtered at birth. Needless murdering of virgins when a king died. Now mind you, some of these practices were not indigenous to only Africans, as I said earlier, our modern civilization grew from absolute carnage and barbarity. But for you to always point out that the atrocities of the western world and then sieve out that of your own ancestors or get violently angry when it is pointed out shows your hypocrisy or selective bias thereof. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Donjazet2:I don't have time to read your tripe. You're very ignorant of the history of humans on this planet. If African history is useless and has no value because it has a barbaric past like all other regions of the world, it means world history is useless. No time for silly discussions. Read wide; read books of world history, and broaden your narrow (parochial) scope. 3 Likes |

Every race regardless of geography has practiced some form of human slavery whether purporting to assert dominance or dispensing justice at some point in time, somehow, it is a product of human nature not religion. Africans are not the only race to be enslaved. Before they were advanced, Europeans were enslaved and sold in markets like cattle by the Romans and latter by the Arabs for domestic use, Arabs enslaved Africans too. We can go as far back as the first known civilizations and find there is something we can define as 'slavery' in practice. Even before the Abrahamic religion Slavery was practiced on the African continent long before even western civilization emerged regardless of what 'kind' of 'slavery' you philosophize about, same can be said for the rest of the world, It's human nature. 4 Likes |

Geestenjay, as we commemorate the atrocities of slavery on the modern world (which is a very good step to take), can we take a minute to highlight the role of Africans in enabling the enslavement of their fellow kinsmen? Can you do a little justice in highlighting the role played by Africans in the Atlantic slave trade? Yes we know that of course, the Europeans and Americans were ruthless slave merchants who cares not one bit for the slaves but can you teach us our own side of that history? How it was possible for slavery to thrive on our own African soul. 3 Likes |

Culture is only as relevant to the degree of progress the society that harbors it has achieved, and the more advanced the society, the better the values it has. Western culture stands at the top because the West is the most advanced society on Earth. Once upon a time western civilization found slavery acceptable. Once technological progress was enough that it rendered slave labor obsolete, slavery was ditched, and as a result a new set of cultural values was introduced: suddenly it was no longer moral to enslave people because there were better alternatives offered by technology and right now we are experiencing a similar situation about using animals as a food source, in the future it would probably be barbaric to kill animals for food. Certain places in Asia and South America embraced Western culture and successfully integrated it with their own. Africa did the same thing to a lesser Degree. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Yesterday, I shared a video on the history of the trans-Atlantic slave trade highlighting how some Africans aided the foreigners in selling off their fellow Africans as slaves to the whites and Arabs. This morning, I did the same thing in a post, but the foolish guy is obviously too dull to read. He calls African history useless and of no value, but he's asking for African historical facts to be highlighted. Nothing but lunacy fit cause this |

Donjazet2:Challenging my views is saying "African history is useless", "African cultures are barbaric, savage, and should be abolished". That's what you call a stimulating discussion? You're free to challenge my posts like every other post on Nairaland, but if you do so with lies and foolish remarks, you're merely wasting your time. Get rid of your bigotry and white supremacist ideas before engaging in intellectual discussions. "Africans should abolish their cultures because they are barbaric and backward and embrace the English culture" This is what you call a stimulating submission. Something you can't even say among your fellow Ibos offline. A people that are intelligent embrace and emulate the good aspects in other people's cultures whether in the West or Asia and assimilate these good aspects into their native culture while upholding their indigenous culture, not abolishing your culture completely and embracing the English culture, which will make you their (the whites') slaves again. |

Bombblacks: Nigerians are currently practising child labour/slavery What do you call it when you take a child into your house to perform menial duties and mind your own children? What do you call it when children are put on the streets to earn money for the family? What do you call it when rich Nigerians can pay poor Nigerians a pittance for their organs? And it is Nigerians who will excuse all of this. Nigerians regularly get in trouble in the UK in slavery beefs - where they bring people to do househelp work. 6 Likes |

The founding fathers (Greek philosophers) of the so-called advanced cultures in the Western civilizations schooled in ancient Egypt (Kemet), which was originally built and developed by black Africans. The Europeans and Arabs destroyed the history of the blacks that built the ancient Egyptian civilization. They won't be able to bury the truth forever, and more people like Otem will arise in the future and reveal black history and their achievements in the past worlds. African empires had been world powers in the past. Today, it's the turn of the Europeans, Americans, and Asians. Tomorrow, it'll be the turn of Africans. That's the cycles of life. Life is not linear but occurs in cycles. 2 Likes 1 Share |

A001: This is a faux mental superiority speaking through you. Imagine the audacity to think that you are more intelligent or mentally superior to other nairalanders? This a serious psychological complex you need to look into and rein into. This is why I was calling you a very poor educator. If you think someone or a group of people are less enlightened than you are, why don't you with patience, employ tools of persuasion? How is it that the minute someone indulges your submissions, the person is met with a barrage of insults? How then could there be healthy dialogue and exchange of information? I engaged you, I made a point you find highly troubling, but you saw I was ready to actually discuss my thought process with you, rather than educate me on what informs your view, you start raining abuses on me, how then do I get the opportunity to learn what you have to say? 7 Likes |

OasisX: Oasis I am happy to see you celebrate state agencies arrest and lock up ordinary citizens for "peddling false news and defaming character". I think it shows that you are someone of good morals and devoid of hypocrisy and double standard. Now, true to your non-hypocritical nature and lack of double standard, can we both agree that the person who made these statements below against a sitting president should be in jail right now where he can't see sunlight for the rest of his life? You know, seeing as we both support state agencies locking up citizens for dissent? 12 Likes 1 Share
