YAKUB & TRICKNOLOGY ACCORDING TO ELIJAH MUHAMMAD — BEN AVERY

Ben Avery breaks down the strange, controversial, and often misunderstood mythology surrounding Yakub, Tricknology, and the teachings of Elijah Muhammad. Ben walks through the origins of the Yakub story as it appears in Nation of Islam doctrine, explaining how the narrative functions less as literal history and more as symbolic mythmaking, social commentary, and theological world-building. From Yakub’s laboratory to the idea of “Tricknology,” Ben examines how these concepts were used to explain power, deception, and historical trauma through allegory rather than empirical fact. The segment also explores Elijah Muhammad’s role in shaping and popularizing these ideas, how they spread culturally, and why they continue to surface in internet discourse, memes, and modern conspiracy-adjacent thinking. Ben focuses on why these stories resonate, how myth fills gaps left by institutional mistrust, and what happens when metaphor is flattened into literal belief. Blending historical context, cultural analysis, and comedic detachment, Ben attempts to understand how myth, grievance, and identity collide — and why these narratives still provoke confusion, fascination, and discomfort decades later. This segment discusses historical religious movements, belief systems, and mythological narratives in a critical and educational context.
