The Histories pt 1 (kitab al-duwari)

Most people, are acquainted, with the name, of Herodotus. He was said, to be a famed, Greek historian, and one, of the first, few people, to ever, decide, to record [not write down really], history. What made Herodotus, different, from other, ancient historians, is mainly, what he, wrote about. The history, of man, can basically, be divided, into two groups: that of man himself, and that, of his environments. Historically, history, has been, presented, in the form, of, Scholarship. Scholarship really, is basically, the history, of man, from the perspective, of individuals really. Individuals, and how, they basically, made, the world, a better place. Herodotus though, was different, in that, he was the first, Academic, to write, on history; Academia, is really, history, presented, from the perspective, of environments. And while, Herodotus, knew, pretty much, what he was, doing, most, academics, that follow, don't, really seem, to know so.

The history, of environments, is also, very much, the history, of groups. How, they are formed, why, and basically, how, they live. History, as mentioned before, is driven, mainly, by three forces; those of laughter, grief, and confusion/bewilderment. These three forces, which affect, man, eventually lead, to a world, of competition. A world, that can best, be described, using, the words: motivational, inspirational, and driven.Being driven, is mainly, about, our drives, while, inspirational/motivational, are mainly, about, our urges.

What will be written, about, below, has very much, to do, with, group identities [formations], and how, these formations [identities], have led, to what, many academics, call, development. Development though, is usually, at the, small-scale, medium-scale, and large-scale, levels, and highly, cultural [identities], in nature. In short, to introduce, a form, of development, into, an area, the right, cultural environment, has to exist. Its really, a waste, of time, introducing, European, cultural development, to Zulu, speakers, as the, cultural basis, might be lacking. At the heart, of all, these, development formats [presented below], are the forces, of laughter, grief, and confusion/bewilderment.

Development formats:

Country-based: Country based, development formats, are highly, associated, with the, languages, people speak. A peoples language, determines, in many ways, whom they are, and, very much, their, existential modes [including material culture]. Language, is very, important, as it, determines, many things, in ones life; it for instance, determines, what happens, to one, in the form, of, events, occurrences, occasions, scenes, scenarios, situations, and the likes. A culture, without, the word, picnic, cannot, have it members, having, picnics. This world, of events, occasions and the likes, has led, to what, they call, mainstream politics [traditional style]. As mentioned before, language [in the form, of, vocabulary really], also, very much, determines, ones, material culture. Using, this format, to develop, a place, is about, developing, the language, people use, to, a very high, level. Not only, in the form, of, grammar [civility], or, vocabulary [materiality], but also, expressivity [high culture]. High culture, here, implies, the ability, to, express, aesthetic identities [such as cool], warmth, interest, geniality, and the likes. Historically, development, based on, linguistics, and very much, group based, has been, based, on certain, language groups. These language groups, in general, had, the same, mainstream politics, within them, but differed, somewhat, within themselves, with regards, to, civility, materiality, and high culture. These language groups, no longer, really exist, but still do; some examples, are: Asiatic, Afro-Asiatic, Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharan, and the likes. These language groups, as mentioned before, are not, really valid, anymore, although, Academics, attempt, to convince us, they still, very much, matter, in our lives today. The Academic study, of European, languages, from the, development perspective, is very much, a mess, and the only, format, which can be, trusted, is that, which refers, to European languages, as, Romance Languages. Remember, these groups, are simply, about, mainstream politics, and not, the growth, of civilization, as academics, attempt, to tell us. Today though, you find that, people, are divided, by languages/Vernacular [as based on materiality], into, the following, formats: West, Western, African [North Africa &Sub-saharan Africa], Asian [Japan, India, China & Asia], Middle East [Israel & the Middle East]. They are very much, false, classifications, meaning, nothing much, as materiality, today, cannot, be classified, as truly, West, or Asian. Some might say, the Westerners, created, video games, but it is, well known, the Japanese, perfected them; the Sony Playstation, is not, Western [as some academics might attempt to claim], as one, might propose, that Westerners, are not, really able, to design, such a video game. This method, of development, is one, that would work, very well, in highly, undeveloped, places, of the world. This includes, many parts, of Africa. Yet, what constitutes, an, undeveloped region, by language, is not, easy, to see, as for example, Ebonics [as spoken in America], is a rather, high level, language. It is the language, in America, associated, with, the Entertainment complex, and, the resultant culture, born of it [from music, to fashion, to sports drinks, to homes&houses (MTV cribs), to even, Cars (Pimp my ride)]. A culture, of civility, materiality, and even, high culture. The level, of a language, can be, described, in several ways. Some languages, are very much, based, on trial and error thought. They are, simple in nature, and people, who speak them, are simply, just, small time, hustlers. There are, languages, heavily based, on memory [recalling, recollecting and the likes], and are, heavily, based, on, mainstream politics. African languages, have, historically, been, on this level, though, they were, very developed, with regards, to, expressivity/high culture. They lagged, with regards to, vocabulary/materiality. Africa languages, have a high, number, of adjectives & adverbs [expressivity], as opposed, to nouns [materiality]. You have, languages, based on, emotional states [such as, feeling wonderful or feeling sorry], and Ebonics, is at this level really [Ebonics as spoken by Americans (of all kinds), and not, immigrants]. You also have, languages, based on, emotions&feelings, and very much, associated, with the, old worlds, such as that, of the, Roman Civilization, and, old France. English today, has seen, a massive decline, from an, emotions based language, to one, based, on memory. Shakespeare, is really, no more. Thats about it, with regards, to languages, and development.

Land-based: The use, of land based, group identities, as, the basis, of development, is rather, too, well known. This world though, is divided, into, driven, motivational, and inspirational, modes. Note that, the linguistic model, as mentioned above, is totally based, on, being driven. With regards to, being driven, development, on this level, is about, the love, of the land [wanting to live in it], though later, it became, very much, about, the love, of a lands, Architecture. England!!, a phrase, known to many, is really about, the love, of, English territory, and also, very much, its Architecture. A development model, highly based today, on city development, but traditionally, based on, the love, of a land, and Architecture. On the motivational level, development, based on, the land, is about, having, group identities, based on, having, similar views. Similar views, is what, Political Thought, is all about; views really, about, being, competitive. Being competitive, is supposed, to be, friendly, in nature. Someone, opens up, a Burger King, you open up, a McDonalds. Political thought, is supposed, to be, regional, in nature [large regions]. People, with similar views, tend, to walk, in a similar manner. In Africa, land, based on this format, is divided, into, two great divides; One divide, constitutes, what they call, the COMESA region, of Africa [running from Egypt, to South Africa]. People, in this region, tend, to walk, similarly, and also, have, similar views [on development], as each other. You then have, the rest, of Africa, which is, also similar, to each other, with this, regard. One should remember, these divisions, are supposed, to be, motivational, and not, agreements really. If someone, in Egypt, opens up, a Burger King, someone, in Kenya perhaps, will probably, open up, a McDonalds, as a symbol, of being, competitive. They are not, supposed, to be, trade agreements. They are just, people, with similar views, on how, to get developed [from a peoples perspective], and Egyptians, Kenyans, and South African, have similar views [at the peoples level], on how, to get, developed. In Europe, you have, Europe & Russia. In the Western hemisphere, you have, America, and the rest, of the Americas/Western hemisphere. People, in the rest, of the Americas, walk similarly, while, Americans, walk differently. In Asia, you have, Japan, and the rest, of Asia. In the Middle East, you have, [Saudi, Oman, UAE], and the rest, of the Middle East. One should remember, that, with the exception, of the, African division, the others, are not, too healthy, in nature. They need to be, [somewhat], redone, to work, perfectly. On the inspirational level, you have, group formations, based on, having, same views. Same views, and development, is what, today, Government, around the world, is mainly, about. Having, the same views, is what, the Democratic process [and Democracy - Greek style], is all, about. Historically, these group formations [on having the same views], have been, as follows: North America & the Americas; England, France, Western Europe [heralded by Germany], Central Europe, and Eastern Europe. Those, were the two, models, seen, in the, old world. In the modern world, only two, such models, exist: North America, Caribbean, & South America; and the Spain, Portugal, & the Mediterranean world. Having, same views, and democracy, is all about, jobs, healthcare, and the likes. People, with the same views, tend, to speak, seriously, in the same manner. One finds, that, people, with the same views, are automatically, driven, just like, that, to achieve, something. Its automatic. [People with the same views, that, the healthcare system, is broken, for instance, will be, automatically, driven, to fix it]. Those with similar views, tend, to be, competitive, by nature.


Nation-based: The Nation based, format, of development, is one, highly seen, in the, ancient world, and is, the basis, of, Herodotus', writings. This world, is what, drives, the study, of the, Ancient world, by academics, and is, totally based, at its center, on, Ancient Egypt, and its, influence, around the world. In the Ancient days, Ancient Egypt, was the, pre-eminent, civilization, of its day, and influenced [sometimes highly], civilizations, around it. Many believe, this influence, stopped, after, the decline, of Ancient Egypt, itself. This is not so, as this, influence, very much, continued, afterwards. The reason, for Egypts, preeminence, is that, it was, a highly, Arts based, civilization, and many, were influenced, by its Arts. The study, of Ancient civilizations, today, by academia, is mainly, targeted, around, the Arts. Eventually, Ancient Egypt, declined, and other, Egyptian based, civilizations, arose, from it: Greece, Ancient Spain, Celtic, European and Middle Eastern. Each of these, civilizations, were Egyptian, based, on the influence, of the Arts [their Arts, were very much, Egyptian, in nature]. One should, realize, that, whole new worlds, were, created, based on, the Arts, produced, by, Egypt, Greece, Ancient Spain, Celtics, European, and the Middle Eastern [Phoenician]. To study, these worlds, is to, attempt, to do so, from the, driven, motivational, and inspirational, modes. A study, of these, worlds, from the, driven perspective, is a study, of conflicts, arising, in these civilizations/worlds. Moses, and his conflict, with Egypt and Pharaoh, leading, to the creation really, of Phoenicia. Greece, was said, to be founded, by Egyptians, who no longer, loved, Egypt. In general though, from, a driven perspective, each, of these worlds [Greece, Egypt, Celtic etc.], had, the same, conflicts, within them. One should realize, that, these worlds, were, large in scope. Mesopotamia, for instance, was associated, with Egypt [and had, similar conflicts]. The Roman Civilization, was associated, with Greece, and what is Greek, about the Romans, are their Arts basis, and conflicts too. These associations, were very much, worldwide too, as the, Maoris, of New Zealand, were, actually, associated, with, Egypt & Mesopotamia. So too, is the lower, Middle East [Saudi, Oman, UAE]. Their Arts, are very, Egyptian, by nature. At the, inspirational level, these different groups, were divided, based on, looks, and living standards. What this means, is that, each, of these, civilized groups, had, certain looks [of the people], based, on their, living standards [how they lived]. The Ancient Egyptians, in all colors, had looks, similar, to Cate Blanchett, President Barack Obama, Mel Gibson, Whitney Houston, and even, Hugh Grant. Thats how, the Ancient, Egyptians [and Ancient Nubians], looked like, and there are, still, many people, out there, who, have, similar looks, to the folks, listed above. The Greek world, was mainly, based on, Greece, and its, most, popular peoples, were the, Egyptian-Greeks, Nubian-Greeks, and the Sicilian [Ancient Nubian] people. The Sicilian world, was also, associated, with the, Phoenician world. The peoples, in this world, had looks, that varied, but, are still, seen today. Egyptian-Greeks, who were, brown skinned and white skinned [with those white skinned, being blonde too], looked, very much, like, Gerard Depardieu, Jon Bon Jovi, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bow wow [or lil' Bow wow] [the forementioned, were how, Egyptian-Greeks, looked like], while, Nubian-Greeks [both white & black], looked, very much, like, Carla Bruni, and even, Naomi Campbell. Sicilians, like Al Pacino, were also, very much, a part, of this world. You then, have too, settlers, from, Egypt/Nubia, wandering, onwards, to Spain, and settling there, and creating, civilization too. They had, looks, similar, to those, you see, with, Steve Jobs, Mike Myers, Stephen Colbert [Ancient Spain, ruled over, parts, of North Africa], and even, Colin Salmon [Black Spaniards, settling in the UK/Ireland]. You also have, the Celtic world, which heavily influenced, the development, of civilization, in Europe major. They were, a branch, of Ancient Spain, and mainly, worshiped, the, Supreme Goddess. In looks, they looked like, Johnny Depp, Dana Carvey, James Gandolfini, Ralph Brown, and even, Sammy Davis Jr. Most Americanista [Latins], are also, Celtic, in looks, and origins. Americanistas [Legion], are mainly, Greek, in looks, and origins. You have too, the European world, which, by looks, is very well known, as it, constitutes, people, such as, Keira Knightley, Drew Carey, Drew Barrymore, and just, most, Europeans, out there. The Phoenician world, not too, well known, is mostly, associated, with people, known as, Jews [such as Steven Spielberg]. One has, to realize again, that looks, are associated, with, living standards, and, what is been said, is that, each, of these groupings, lived, differently, and hence, different looks. These worlds, were also, motivational, in nature [that means, they had, a motivational aspect, to them]. As mentioned before, these are, worlds, driven, by, three things: conflicts, livings standards [looks], and finally, Preferences. What this means, again, is that, the personal conflicts, people faced [from relationships, to neighbours], were the same, in each, of these, worlds/civilizations. Their living standards, also, very much, differed, though, each had, a center, that was, the center, of all attraction. Egypt, Greece, Spain etc. Finally, each, of these worlds, were, 'driven' [motivationally speaking], by, certain, Preferences. In the Greek world, for instance, one sees, the birth, of, interracial relationships, and a general, obsession, with color. Nubian-Greeks, sought, relationships, that were, interracial, in nature. Egyptian-Greece, gave birth, to the world, of, interracial sex. Ancient Spain, was highly, divided, by features [Negroid and Caucasoid]. The preference, interestingly enough, was Negroid. The Phoenician world, was highly, based on, Gender. The divisions, of men, and women, into, various groups, and dividing each, by, an identifier, such as, Jew, Gentile, Fiery in spirit, Prostitute, whore etc., was how, this world, was driven, based on, preferences. This means, that men, sought, certain kinds, of women [fiery in spirit, very kind etc.], and women, very much, divided men, by, status [Jew, Gentile etc.]. One, should realize, they are, all, motivators, to generally, succeed. In Ancient Spain, this means, that, people married, to make, themselves, more negroid. In Egypt, these motivators, based on, preferences, were all about, mentalities. By mentalities, we mean, basically, how, people, presented themselves. Egyptians, generally sought out, mates, or partners, based on, how, they presented, themselves. The English, and French, also, very much, did this too. The better, the presentation, the higher, one rose, in society in general. From speech, to manners. In general, do note, that each, of these worlds, was associated, with a language: Egypt, with Hebrew; Greece, with Greek; Ancient Spain, with Gaelic [Gaelic as spoken, in Ireland, was brought over, by, so called, Black Spaniards, and many, languages, in North Africa, are very much, like Gaelic]. Celtic, with Latin [England, has, Celtic origins, and English, differs, from other, European languages, in that, it is based, on, Latin/Celtic]. The European world, with French [nearly all European languages, are similar, to French]. The Phoenician world, with what, one might call, Nubian-Phoenician [the Nubians, eventually, influenced, Phoenicia]. You might also, state, that, there existed, a Nubian world [based on Later Nubia - Meroe], which heavily, influenced, Black Africa. What this, basically means, is that, the conflicts, looks [standards of living], and preferences, you find, in Black Africa, are similar, to those, seen, in Nubia [Meroe]. In all, one must remember, is that, these worlds, were driven [development wise], by, similar conflicts, looks [living standards], and preferences. The study, of ancient history, from, a personal, perspective, is all about, understanding, conflicts, living standards [models], and, preferences, and one, will find, if they, have, certain looks [such as Greek], that, the study, of, Ancient Greece, and the Greek world in general, is a motivator, on how, to live, their lives [how to develop culturally]. Some people, are driven, to succeed, so as, to have, lots, of, interracial sex. Its sounds crazy, but thats, human nature. One should remember, that, these influences, by, these civilizations, were, world wide, in nature, although, certain civilizations, were never, influenced, by Egypt, and its offshoots [e.g. Indonesia & Meso-America]. In todays, world, this format, has been, modeled, differently, making, different people, to believe, they are, culturally similar [preferences, conflicts & looks], when not; North America & Europe, Caribbean & South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. For instance, the origins, of the Japanese, lie, in India, and not, East Asia; the Japanese, are more similar, to Indians, culturally, than to, other, East Asians. South Africa, is more, similar, to America, culturally, than Germany is.

People-based: The People based, format, of development, is really, based, on studying, figures, from History. It is the format, chosen, by most people, out there. Alexander, Thutmoses, Howard Hughes, Shaka Zulu, and other, such figures, are generally, studied, to see, how, they went, about, achieving, their success. This model, has, been heavily, used, in Africa, in past ages, as Africa, is very much, a Peoples, continent. They are, a People really. At the basis, of studying, historical figures, is, to see, whom, they really were, at, their core; Whom, you really are, at, your core, is, the person, you are, when, you are not, thinking, in general [no thoughts, sentiments etc.] Kind of, daydreaming, and stuff. And, at that level, most people, can, be described, as being, cute, sexy, warm, hard headed, and the likes. It is, one, of the main, reasons, people, study, historical figures, as really, knowing them, is really, about, knowing, whether, they were, sexy, cute, warm, and the likes. People, who are sexy, go about, doing things, in, a certain way. They are different, in this, regard, from people, who are, warm. You cannot, copy, the ways, of, Alexander, or Shaka Zulu, directly, but, you can, see, how, their core self, influenced, their actions. The destruction, of African history, by Europeans [Germans really], has been, all about, erasing, the history, of many, of its, great personalities [people who went against all odds]. Shaka Zulu, Mansa Musa, the Mad Mullah, Taharqa, Patrice Lumumba [theorist], the Ashanti Asantehenes [of the British-Ashanti wars] were all, people, who greatly, hustled, their way, to victory [against all odds]. All this, history, has been, rewritten, or erased, by European powers, and especially, the Germans. This is really, because, this method, of development [People based], is very much, common, today, and most, people, in the, undeveloped, worlds, attempt, to use it, alot. The Europeans, have erased, this kind, of history, around, the world [including America too], and attempted, to claim, that, great figures, in history, only, appear, in European history. It is here, too, that, the fear of Africa [present times], by Europeans, arise, as many, of, Europes, great figures, paled, in contrast, to Africas [with regards, to the hustle effect]. At the, motivational level, development here, is totally, based, around, what, they call, Ethnicity. At the heart, of Ethnicity, is really, all about, looking good, for others. This means, being, respectable, ingenious, good looking, and the likes. An attempt really, to make others, envy one, in one way, or another. Jews, British, Japanese, Italian-American, and even, 'Indian', are all ,Ethnicities, many around, the world, have envied, and attempted, to become like. Jews, for their wealth, and intellect; British [those duped, by the belief, in the grandiosity, of the so called, British Empire], Japanese [technology, and, technological marvels], Italian-American [religious like figures, who can be described, as sexy, warm, hard headed, and very much, believed, to be, innately driven, to success]; and 'Indian' too [based, on their belief, of their taking, over the world, due, to their presence, just about, anywhere]. In Africa, you have, Zulu, Kikuyu, Igbo, and Yoruba. They are the most, well known, ethnicities, due, to various, factors; Zulus, due, to the Media, and, Shaka Zulu; Igbos, for being, good businessmen, and, problem solvers. Yorubas, for their, interesting religion, and culture in general. Kikuyus, for being, warm hearted, and just, simply likeable. [In general though, the Kikuyu world, can be, divided, into, true Kikuyus, and the others; the others, being, immigrants, from, the rest, of Africa, who, simply learnt, Kikuyu, and gave themselves, Kikuyu names]. [In general though, true Luos, are much better, in just about, every way, than, true Kikuyus]. Finally, you have, the Inspirational level, where by, people, are inspired to live really, by living, in a, highly, reactive world. This level, is a level, where by, people, simply react, to, everything, happening, and simply, move forwards, that way. It is not, very, well known, but, is a level, defined, by, describing people, as, 'Choosing to', 'Just being', and 'Want to'. If someone, bumps, into one, they might, want to, punch them back. Choosing to, is simply, about, choosing, how, one will respond, to a, certain stimuli. This world, though, is very much, in existence, today, driven, by, the movie world. In the movie world, many characters, 'choose to', 'want to', or even, 'just be', in the manner, they respond, to just about, anything. In short really, they think, they can, do, anything, and nothing, will happen, to them. Many people, out there, in the world, are, kind of crazy, this way. They believe, they can, break, any, social norms, and be, just like, what, they want to be [very selfish], with no, fear, of retribution. Around the world, the hatred, of so called, white people [white skinned people, seen, in the Western region of the world, and oftenly, having, high pitched voices], is because, they believe, they can do, whatever they like, without, any fear, of being punished. In general though, this applies, to people, in the Western region, of, the world, with, high pitched voices. A world, of people, gone crazy, and if, one, was to look, outside, their window, they will see, that, many people out there, don't think, too much, today, but mostly, seek, to do, as they please, based on, 'choosing to', 'want to', and 'just being' silly, for example. 'Choosing to avoid work', 'Want to steal', or, 'Just being racist'. Its truly, a world, gone mad. The world, of inferiority complexes, arises, with this format, of development, and many, people, in the so called, third world, would, be asked, not, to believe, in the stories, of, succeeding, coming, from the, Western world, and especially, Europe. Its mostly, all lies. The so called, partition, of Africa for instance, by European powers, never, did happen, and colonialism, did not, affect, Africa, as much, as most think. The downfall, of Africa, comes very much, after colonialism, and has, to do, with, flamboyant figures, gone wrong, and the availability, of, European, weaponry.

The idea, of development, based, on all, these formats, can be, difficult, to enact. The most, simplest, to revive, is the, Nations based, format. The Peoples based, format, has been, messed up, by the, rewriting, of history books. In Africa, the Country-based [linguistically driven], format, is the, fastest way, to revive, civilization. The Land based, format, is the, most popular, though, in, international circles, and while, heavily, people driven, does not, take, into account, the views, of the people, themselves, on how, they wish, to develop. Its simply, delegates, talking [crap perhaps], all day long, with no development, ever taking place.
Do realize, that this, format, is heavily, people driven, and attempting, to develop, without, the peoples, input, leads, to disaster.
