What I Read: July (2023)
It’s rare that I am not reading anything. I am usually so wrapped up in a book, that I have to force myself to put it down to do literally anything else. I have always been like this, even as a child, teachers often had to tell me to put a book away and pay attention to class. I still, however, sometimes fall into reading slumps, where I pick up a book, and no matter how well it is written or how interesting the plot is, I can’t seem to fully immerse myself in the story and am almost constantly distracted.

Does Mathematics Have A Flaw?
Does Mathematics Have A Flaw? In the world of math, a puzzling matter resides. It reveals that complete certainty is beyond our reach. Certain truths will forever elude definitive proof. While these truths can't be precisely identified, they might involve ideas like the Twin Prime Conjecture. Twin primes are pairs of numbers, like 11 and 13, or 17 and 19, with just one number between them, and both being prime. As numbers increase, prime numbers become scarcer, and twin primes even more so. Nevertheless, the Twin Prime Conjecture proposes an endless stream of twin primes that continue indefinitely. Currently, this notion remains unverified.

slavery
It's been a very long time , in fact years since slavery was abolished but Africans never let go and I don't understand , I feel their reasons are also not valid , so I visited a pal from Africa and were conversing until he changed to whole topic saying Africans were really lacking so I asked his reasons and he said some Africans in fact more of the population in Africa still uses foreign names and still seek for loan from them for developmental purposes I feel he has a point but I don't see why. I felt I was winning this until he raised the most trickery and shocking question when he asked me "so what happens to his culture" ? to be honest I was amazed, at that moment I felt he was a different person he spoke so emotional . Again with all the stubbornness in the world I asked him "without colonization would you have known the bible ? he was speechless and it made me feel like I've won a lottery until he raised the batter trade issue and I really got on the same side with him ,during the slavery era stuffs like mirror , gun powder etc. were brought into the country for valuable stuffs like gold ,salt, pepper etc. with this problem he bought me on his side and forcefully had to accept the fact that whatever he says is right I had to do that to make him feel he knows better . Coming to understand him I understood what he meant when he said Africans were still under slavery he only wanted the Africans to make use of their clans names I hope he bought you also seeking help is not a problem I feel the the bond between these countries are amazing ,A long time ago there lived a poor slave whose name was Aesop. He was a small man with a large head and long arms. His face was white, but very homely. His large eyes were bright and snappy.
