The First World Is Becoming the Third World, Not Vice Versa

As a student of history and anthropology I've learned that in general societies tend to go through four types of economic revolutions, those successively being hunter-gatherer, agrarian, industrial and information, though hunter-gatherer, being that's where it all started, may be more of our natural disposition than all of the others.  Anyway the general understanding is that you have to successively get through one stage in order to, more or less naturally, move onto the next. However this logic does not hold true in countries like Ghana.  Ghana never went through an industrial revolution and to this day is and likely always will be mainly agricultural, but the Gateway to Africa has by and large fully entered the information age .  No, I don't anticipate computer usage in Ghana to reach the level it has in the West, nor do I think Ghana will ever evolve into a primarily postmodern, information-based economy like America.  However more aspiring Ghanaian entrepreneurs...

Movie Review: The Fate of the Furious (2017)

The Fast and the Furious is my favorite ongoing action series in Hollywood, and judging by the returns from its latest installment, the Fate of the Furious (2017) , many other people around the world also share this same sentiment.  But enough of the fluff - anyone who has ever read my movie reviews know the purpose of these posts is more to look for esoteric and hidden references and their possible meanings than it is to actually rate the movie. THE WAR OF ARMAGEDDON One of the reasons the Fast and the Furious franchise is historically successful is because, on top of having a cool storyline and top-notch special effects, some of the best action movie stars in Hollywood star in the films.  For instance we have Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, a phenomenal success story considering he's the highest-paid actor in Hollywood but is noticeably non-White.  But of course you can't reach that level of success in the movie industry without paying your dues to the occultic forces...

This article has been revised on 31 March 2024.  The original image that was embedded (uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/solar6-feat-uproxx.jpg) is no longer available on the internet.  So I used a screenshot of it from the Internet Archive. The United States who, if I remember correctly, had a major eclipse just a short time ago, is set to have a total solar eclipse on 21 August 2017, this one being euphemistically dubbed "the Great American Eclipse" .  From what I've gathered, it will only be visible from the United States. Some tourist destinations have already began profiting by offering the best seats to the event, and sites like Uproxx are marketing this used-to-be once-in-a-lifetime occurrence as "cool" .  But of course, there really ain't nothing cool about the sun going black in the middle of the day.  In fact it's scary as sh*t, because even if only for a few seconds a thought will cross your mind like 'oh dip, what if the sun stays the...
