Pimping the Attention Economy: Reclaiming Our Time, Rebuilding Our Power Check one, check two... You hear me now? I mean read me now? Good. Let's get into it. There’s a new economy out here—and it’s not built on dollars, gold, or crypto. It’s built on attention . And if you’re not paying attention to what you’re paying attention to, you’re getting pimped . I’m calling this one: Pimping the Attention Economy . But don’t get it twisted—this ain’t about exploitation. It’s about elevation. It’s about learning how to leverage the most valuable currency we’ve got in this digital age: our time and our focus. The Realest Currency is Time Let’s keep it 100—money comes and goes. But time? Time don’t play. Once you spend it, it's gone. So here’s the challenge: How are you spending your attention each day? What are you investing in—mentally, spiritually, culturally? The attention economy is built on you . On your clicks. Your views. Your scrolls. Your shares. And while the system is built...

KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility Great day, Great day, my people! It’s your brother ha2tim, and today I’m bringing you a special reflection—one that digs deep into who we are, what we build, and why we must build together. This article centers around a powerful concept: KET.N , a Kemetic term gifted to our tribe by Brother Kwame Keuchler . KET.N , simply put, means “Our Thang.” Not just something we claim—but something we commit to. Something we shape and something that shapes us. The idea came alive during a conversation about gangster movies—yeah, I love those. One phrase always stood out: “This thing of ours.” And that got me thinking... Because we need that same spirit when it comes to Gye-Nyame. When it comes to Simsa. When it comes to our culture, our children, and our future. We need our own KET.N. KET.N: It Belongs to Us. We Belong to It. KET.N isn’t just a word—it’s a sacred commitment. Our Thang represents a bond with something greater than any individua...

“This Generation Is Doomed!” — The Ancient Tradition of Blaming the Youth You’ve heard it before: "These kids today are always on their phones!" "They don’t go outside like we used to!" "They’re soft, disconnected, and distracted!" This chorus rings out from porches, podcasts, pulpits, and barbershops alike. But the more we listen, the more we realize—it’s not a new song. It's a remix of an ancient tune. What we’re hearing is not prophecy. It’s tradition. Not the youth breaking something sacred—but the elders struggling with the sacred breaking open and becoming something new. The Cycle of Complaint: A Timeless Pattern Every generation gets blamed for the downfall of the world. It’s almost a rite of passage. Ancient Egypt (KMT): Elders worried that young scribes were too informal with sacred texts, diluting divine knowledge. Socrates & Writing: The great philosopher warned that writing would weaken memory and destroy true understand...

From Generalist to Master: Reclaiming Depth in a Surface-Level Society In a recent conversation with an elder, a powerful truth surfaced—one that continues to rattle my spirit and demand attention. As I reflect on it, I’m not sure if I’ve written about it directly, but I know it shows up in our work, our walk, and our struggles. And it’s this: We are drowning in general knowledge. Our culture today celebrates the idea of being a jack-of-all-trades—a so-called master of everything. We toss around terms like multidisciplinary and well-rounded as if they are inherently empowering. But I fear we’re missing something vital: depth . Real power does not come from shallow waters. It comes from those who dive deep. The Myth of General Knowledge We live in a time when it’s easy to learn just enough to sound informed. Just enough to be dangerous. Just enough to be wrong . This is the Dunning-Kruger effect in motion—when people overestimate their understanding after a surface-level encou...

Elon Musk and the Ghosts of Gray Uniforms: Technocracy in the Age of WiFi Let’s be real—if Elon Musk’s life came with a subtitle, it might read: "How I Accidentally Fulfilled My Grandfather’s Fascist Fantasies—With WiFi." Sounds dramatic? Maybe. But peel back the tech-billionaire gloss, and what’s revealed is a lineage not just of wealth or ambition—but of ideology. This isn’t fiction. It’s history. And it matters. Thanks to a revealing interview on Democracy Now! with journalist Chris McGreal, we got the kind of ancestral origin story most billionaires hope you’ll never hear. McGreal, a seasoned reporter with deep knowledge of apartheid-era South Africa, laid it bare: Elon’s legacy isn’t just electric cars and Martian dreams—it’s colonial echoes rebranded for the digital age. 🕰 Let’s Rewind: Grandpa Had Plans Elon Musk’s grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, wasn’t your average adventurous chiropractor. He was the head of Canada’s branch of Technocracy Incorporated —a fringe...

Listen to "Episode 2969 - No Frills, No Thrills Just Brother ha2tim: Billionaires & Hoarders: Same Greed, Different Zip Code" on Spreaker. Billionaires & Hoarders: Two Sides of the Same Greedy Coin Let’s play a little mental game. Close your eyes and imagine a hoarder. You know the type—stacked-up newspapers from 1983, broken appliances they swear they’ll fix, closets bursting with expired canned goods, and maybe a dozen cats running a shadow government in the basement. Now… picture a billionaire. Private jets? Check. Four yachts? Check. Enough wealth to solve world hunger twenty times over… and still complaining about taxes? Same behavior. Different zip code. The Absurd Similarities Between Billionaires & Hoarders On the surface, one smells like old pizza boxes and anxiety. The other smells like imported lavender from Provence and entitlement. But when you break it down, the behaviors mirror each other: Behavior Hoarder Billionaire Obsession with accumulation 13...
