Walking the Barbell: Tradition on One Side, Revolution on the Other

Walking the Barbell: Tradition on One Side, Revolution on the Other I’ve been re-listening to Antifragile by Nassim Taleb—and something caught my spirit this time around: the Barbell Strategy . Taleb breaks it down as a life design where you operate on two extremes . On one side, you’ve got extreme safety . On the other, calculated risk . And in between? Nothing. That middle space is where comfort hides and where fragility is born. This idea got me thinking deeply about how well it aligns with the life we’re building through Gye-Nyame Journey —and how it could shape a political campaign if I—or one of y’all—ever decided to run for office. The Safe Side: Cultural Roots, Community Wisdom Let’s start with the grounded side of the barbell —the side that holds our traditions, values, and cultural wisdom. This is where we store our principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Nia . It’s the bedrock. It’s not glamorous, but it’s what keeps us whole. This side includes our: Rites of passage Community cir...

People with vision


People with vision/
                    Are often tormented by/
people who cant see/

Many would be happy if we just gave in an acted as a robot but those of us that are on the journey know that would kill us. When i think about the societies that we have to journey through in this life the only metaphor that comes to mind is that of a vampire. It seems to me that we are surrounded in this world by human and institutional vampires. All aimed at sucking our life force (axe') out of us. Turning us into lifeless machines that just work no question asked. As these vampires suck on us the vision of our lives are supposed to fade and we are supposed to surrender our soul, and become what the vampires want us to be. Vampires need lifeless robots, or gimps to serve them without questions. Those that have found their path and have started their Journey do not surrender. We seek out our vision and use our life force (axe') to keep it alive and eventually make it real. By holding on to our vision we become a threat. We are often singled out and persecuted. Because we choose to follow our vision rather than bow down to the vamps around.
Those with a vision I salute you because by hanging on to it you provide the light to keep the vamps back from consuming the world
