Because solutions require real work and study and amos material was based I getting solution based done.
Wilson's material makes sense but is very heavy and has to be studied
Most folks want to parrot off quoteables and slogans not actually work.
Op never read one of them books though.
Just another viper trying to blend in.
Amen G he laid out a beautiful guideline within his books. Was glancing at something the other day in regards to nation building.

The ultimate thing a culture must do is solve problems. At 3:00 minutes into the video Dr. Wilson reminds us:
That's why. . . at a certain point, when a culture no longer meets the needs of a people, or solves the problems confronting a people, THAT CULTURE MUST BE TRANSFORMED. There's nothing sacred about holding a culture in the face of new events and new changes.
Amos Wilson reminds us that culture isn't sacred. It's job is to solve problems. If it doesn't, you transform it to meet your needs or you abandon it. Now keep in mind what I cited from Jordan Ngubane last night at the end of my lecture from his book _Conflict of Minds (1979)_. Remember he is talking about the events leading up the the Tshaka Zulu revolutions and the attitudes of the intelligent people of the Zulu culture at the time.
The Zulu-Nguni philosophers whose teachings the court poet preserved for posterity in his [Shaka Zulu's] ideal had not reacted negatively to the religious experience; THEY HAD SIMPLY OUTGROWN IT WHEN IT CEASED TO HAVE VALID MEANING IN THEIR LIVES. To do this was to respond to the challenge of being humans; to the call of perpetual evolution. (Ngubane, 1979: 86)
