How to destroy a society:
Now, let me ask you in this forum � what does it take for an LC officer, headmasters, minister, medical superintendent whether in Padibe, Ntungamo, Bulamogi, Butambala, Bulange to do what Africans have always done collectively i.e. cleaning ones back yard, home, road, street, or work place etc?
>From Kampala as a bastion of civilization: a typically moral and ethical base spreading like widely fire all over the country: work little and heavy drinking, bufunda, slums which to us is urban development, crude planning bordering to primitivism, since one can squatting on a latrine pit facing a tax park or a drinking joint.
Everything is well � albeit corroding some of the most basic human VALUES like: SHAME, PRIVACY, SELF RESPECT and of others, self-control and authority.
What is left?
Maybe it is a trivial question but only when one has not thoroughly investigated the matrix of such acts- deeply.
Let us think of it administratively; high level home-sapiens� CONGINTIVE ABILITY different from animals; organisationally, developmental psychologically, and so on!
One-way of destroying a society is URBANISING IT without the supportive structures, i.e. safety nets for sure employment, housing, child care and support, homestead social support, maternal care and support, transport facilities and so on.
The USA and South African apartheid regimes tried a systematic type of isolating African with devastating consequences for future generation.
In urban America the African descendants will take a long time to recover if they recover at all!
So African are doing exactly the same to their own people!
Uganda Now.
What happens: certainly it is known that where there is high concentration of human populations there ARE tendencies to OPTIMAL human activities to maximize survival chances.
These take on two forms 1. A Probabilistic (guessing) survival trap 2. Premeditate survival trap i.e. calculated best human instincts.
The last one is more interesting: since it grounds and pivots: My self and I and a primitive super ego-centrist being if not controlled.
As of the police General is compelled to call on the army the quell city robbery! As in case of Wembley and the colonels.
Premeditate survival is interesting � since unwittingly is embedded with the exponential growth of possibilities created as feeling of endless hopeful certainty.
The above as it reaches it optimal level � as in case of grasshoppers feeding on limited grass fields, tend to flourish in nourishment until the biological systems clock of grass replacement or growth factor is out competed by the feeding habits of grasshoppers and the reproductive abilities.
That is when things start to happen in case of animals they die off � I do not know what happens with human societies!
Uganda is interesting, as one transpose the above on human ways and their societies.
Two questions have interested me over the years � namely: 1. WHAT THE PROBLEM IS and 2. WHAT THE SOLUTIONS IS / ARE
If one can see the problem and the underlying mechanism � that tend to be very lucky indeed. Rather than seeing the problem only, to which solutions, might be sought but rather dubiously.
You end up not solving the problem but rather fragmenting the problem into more complex problematicities � ending with a far more complex issue.
Take: Kampala taxi, Pollution, Rural gradual demise, Nakivubo channel today filled with filthy that requires dredging machinery and more probably a far more complex work force to deal with the problem.
There is more to this � the nature and way societies are.
For Ugandan unfortunately with lack f deeper insight � they will assume Uganda is revealing in fragrance and a bright future at the horizon.
I hear some have also INVENTED A THEORY - that goes something like where there is CHAOS THAT IS WHEN THINGS HAPPEN indeed.
Contradictory- chaos is not so obvious in its patterns and human societies have autogenic processes that radically opposed to chaos. But that can be left for may be some of us who don�t know anything.
All in all Uganda presently does not have the basic human as well mind infrastructure to any form of social, political and economic stability hence congruent development � sadly.
