> Like an incorporeal idea is some big obstacle blocking progress.
There was one, she mentions the concept of cyclical rather than linear time. Thinking of time as cyclical rather than linear actually blocks progress. It's the white man that came along and allowed progress by correcting them.
When she talks about "freeing ourselves" she's talking about going back to being subsistence farmers and freeing themselves from the white concept of leaving things better than you found them.
This is a trick that universities have been using for years. You can train almost anyone to parrot phrases of information and even convince them that they know what they're talking about when they do it but if they haven't learned to understand the concepts behind what they are saying, they don't know how to question them, leaving them nothing more than academic consumers. Education should be about teaching how to think, not what to think but these methods have made universities the fast food of societal development. It is more expensive than it should be and it gives you only the very minimum you need to survive while poisoning you the entire time.
