Certainly, Dr. Ndemo is a mass man. He is talking of tuburoti like everyone else and even regrets his PhD.

And when you look at the history of philosophy you get the feeling that the quality and vigor of thought has lowered considerably.

Maybe climate degradation is linked to the collapse of philosophy.



As an academic and a business professor at that, he should be writing books, policy papers and doing consultancy, and making his millions. Not competing with mugundaman huko dustbowl.

He tried consultancy and failed miserably. You will not make daily bread leave alone the millions with books and policy papers unless you have some friends in govt who keep giving useless consultancies and you give them a cut.

I don't want to commit myself to the acquisition of millions. As you can see from his submission, one doesn't need to seek the highest levels of knowledge in order to get millions.

The question is why should one seek the highest levels of knowledge?

If the answer isn't 'to be the sun', then all is lost.

Spoken like 10 Senior elders. The problem with most people is that they want to do everything... Be businessmen, academics, industrialists, politicians, corporate managers, pastors, civil servants, tenderprenuers and be succesful in all of them. It is not possible. You need to decide how you will make your money and consider others pasttimes and hobbies.
Life is short. Live passionately.
