Part 17/19:
Culture, Discourse, and the Power of Knowledge
The conversation also critiques contemporary cultural movements, political ideologies, and the role of education. Hotep Jesus questions the hierarchy of knowledge, the mainstream suppression of African history, and the limited scope of typical academic curricula. He advocates for direct self-education and eschews reliance on official narratives—believing true understanding comes from internal exploration, historical research, and independent inquiry.
He advocates for building community institutions—platforms that empower instead of restrict, that challenge the monopolies of Facebook, YouTube, and Google. Building independent cultural reservoirs, fostering free speech, and cultivating critical thinking are seen as vital to liberation.
