The central doctrine of Process Philosophy holds that man is in a state of Constant Change or Becoming. And rightly so. Man is continuously changing and human development is involved in an endless process of evolution. This can be likened to the Hegelian “Absolute Spirit” which is constantly developing and creating a whole new universe like a world of continuous formation. As man evolves, technology also evolves with him. Today, a state has been attained where the forces of good and evil, of right and wrong are at war. A balance must not only be maintained but also sustained or man stands to risk the loss of his humanity to the creations of his own hands. I remember a wise man telling me many years ago that the greatest enemy of man is the self.

The sun seemed to have risen earlier than usual as though it was preparing for something special, its resplendence brimming with radiance over all, with a little air of expectancy for the unknown. I was out, rope skipping, headed for the 500 th count when my phone started to ...

  The financial world experienced a great revolution in the year 2009 when a group of inventors across the globe led by Satoshi Nakamoto came up with a blockchain technology which can conveniently be termed “Cryptocurrency”. Unfortunately, this development upset a lot of persons especially powerful governments around the world, which have benefitted in no small measure from the centralized financial system for many decades if not centuries. Today, disciples and beneficiaries of the old order seem to have come to swallow the bitter pill that Cryptocurrency is not only changing our world but has come to stay.   Financial authority, for a very long time, has enjoyed centralization to the benefit of the selected few and detriment of the greater majority. Governments around the world have often capitalized on this monopoly to effectively subdue the masses by controlling the rate of cash flow. No wonder why financial experts believe that the traditional/centralized banking syste...
