Franck breaks down why clinging to things we did not create or build is exactly the wrong message to give young people. In this episode: Why "gene segments" and "birthplace of mankind" are not accomplishments anyone built Dr. Arikana's background, her AU dismissal, and the contradiction of condemning Western education while benefiting from it The difference between countries planning for 2035 and cultures still pointing to 4,000 years ago How Houphouet-Boigny kept Ivory Coast thriving by partnering instead of nationalizing The 500 billion franc claim about Francophone Africa and why it falls apart Japan, Jewish history, South Korea, and China: proof that suffering does not have to define your future Why African scholars have not written their own history books while European archives hold the records A direct call to stop poisoning young minds with false pride and start building something real ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW FRANCK ZANU: TikTok: @zanuprojectrethink Instagram: @zanuprojectrethink All Links: https://linktr.ee/zanuprojectrethink ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Drop your thoughts in the comments - we encourage healthy debate!
