The RZA, on the track 'Sunshower', which featured on the Wu-Tang Forever double CD album, Philosophised that "the black man is the grafted digital". That is living tissue that has been inserted with the sensibility to transmit a digital signal of a subject through human representation, the imperative to convey information of a subject or from a subject with pristine accuracy, as if the information was coming from the source or subject itself. The digital signal maintains its integrity whilst the analogue signal deteriorates creating noise and distortion.
The digital signal capacity of the African who is conscious of it, takes the form of a sense of rhythmic equilibrium with ones environment. Now... White supremacy has always labelled the African as rhythmic and musical, with specific emphasis on dancing, which does the job of hermetically sealing the potential of African civilisation within the exotic realm of mindless whimsical savage pleasure, which of course lacks the premium human ability to reason and be rationale. It is shameful that this white analogue transmission of the nature of the African, with all of its pathologically inherent distortions, should form the dominant white coded image of the African, which bombards societies sensibilities. Such racism of course always points towards a historically specific evil.
However, the reality of African civilisation as I mentioned above, is rhythmic equilibrium with ones environment. Now it would be helpful here if I define what I mean by rhythmic equilibrium. Everything in the universe has a rhythm, a way of being, a reality. All language has a rhythm to it, including academic discourse, so do cars, animals, rain, thunder and lightning all have a rhythm, a way of being, a reality and therefore all of reality has a rhythm. Therefore having an innate sense of equilibrium with ones environment is really to have an innate sense of intelligence of ones environment. I say intelligence because the reality of everything in our world speaks to the African naturally through its rhythmic being, a rhythmic being that everything in our world has. A definition of intelligence is the "ability to acquire and apply knowledge" (google), the very nature of the African is to acquire and apply knowledge through rhythmic equilibrium with ones environment, making the African naturally intelligent by design. Dancing is just the most obviously apparent expression of the Africans rhythmic personality, but as I have explained this observation of rhythm encompasses everything in the universe.
The need for the indigenous African-centered worldview which has rhythmic equilibrium at its root, to be respected, valued and placed alongside euro-centric modes of reason, is at this moment crucial if we are to try and save the human race from extinction because of the effects of a capitalism induced state of global warming on planet earth, which could have been prevented through intelligence of ones environment. Besides the ultimate doom of mass extinction on planet earth, there is mass starvation, antagonistic conflict through unnecessary borders and the division of people that should be living as one, and ultimately the direction of planet earth being dictated by monetary power because of pessimistic Marxism, which suggests that the root motivation of humans is monetary or economic power, which is a euro-centric conscious reality rather than a conscious reality for all human-beings.
I would now like to conclude by pointing towards the thesis of the late Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze (2008) who suggested that planetary diverse reason is comprised of the planetary spectrum of reason, which is rooted in levels of consciousness, which have limitations or gaps, deliberate gaps, which cannot be transcended by the subject because of his or her subjective nature, which can never be all seeing and all knowing because this is the province of god or an all seeing all knowing being. Therefore following on from Eze, I would like to suggest that the earth, similarly to a car, has been fitted with a set of mirrors, which take the form of diverse planetary reason. The rear view mirror and the wing mirrors on a car help the driver to be orientated in the reality of his or her vehicle, mainly in relation to the actual position of the vehicle and its proximity to objects around it, which one would not be able to perceive accurately without the car mirrors providing a multi-perspective view of the actual positioning of the car on the road. Similarly Earth needs diverse planetary reason to help provide humans with the reality of the nature of earth as well as the wider universe, which exists beyond the gap in consciousness of the individual. Only through a collective human consciousness can the reality of planet earth and the wider universe be revealed.
Therefore if the bullying by white or euro-centric reason continues, whilst the world blindly sleepwalks behind it because of the false belief that euro-centric reason is the pinnacle of human civilisation, even though the naked eye is watching the world that we live in, governed by white reason, crumble and fracture in every way possible, then the human race is surely headed irreversibly towards extinction. Planet earth desperately needs a 'Digital revolution', humanity desperately needs a 'Digital revolution', to embrace the 'digital' nature of the African worldview, its imperative for harmony and equilibrium and the raw intelligence that flows from this natural symbiotic relationship between man and earth. The Asiatic worldviews also share this propensity for harmonic equilibrium and balance with all things, this natural symbiotic relationship between man and earth. Such a revolution should have happened years ago. As it is white supremacy is planet earth's headquarters, which is like a motor vehicle racing to its doom with no mirrors that would provide insight as to its true position.
