πΉ *ECHOES OF THOUGHT* πΉ *Has STEM Truly Won, or Have We Simply Conceded To Deception?* Itβs easy to believe that technology is the ultimate force shaping our world. But is that the full story? Or have social scientists, by failing to assert their relevance, allowed themselves to be sidelined? Maybe, or maybe not! *But the question is, Can we endure the consequences of giving away our social agency for STEM?* Letβs rethink this. π *Subscribe to our WhatsApp Channel* for instant updates: bit.ly/UOSW-WhatsApp π *Follow us on our platforms:* Spotify: bit.ly/UOSW-Spotify YouTube: bit.ly/UOSW-YouTube LinkedIn: bit.ly/UOSW-LinkedIn Facebook: bit.ly/UOSW-Facebook X (Twitter): bit.ly/UOSW-X #UnderstandingOurSocialWorld #EchoesOfThought #SocialWorldMatter #WhatShapesTheWorld

π¨ *THE ECHOESβA SPECIAL EPISODE IS NOW LIVE!* π¨ *This isnβt just another episode. itβs a reflection, a reckoning, a challenge to the narratives weβve accepted without question.* No guests. No debates. Just me, Sen. Khalid Alawode, walking you through the echoes of thought, the ripples of ideas that refuse to fade. In this special episode, we confront five powerful echoes: πΉ *Validation* β Are we truly independent, or is external validation woven into our humanity? πΉ *Economy* β Beyond Capitalism and Marxism: are we stuck in a false choice? πΉ Democracy β The rule of the people or the rule of the elite? Who really holds power? πΉ STEM vs. Social Sciences β Who shapes the world: engineers or social thinkers? πΉ *Feminism & Historical Fallacy* β Are we rewriting history to fit modern narratives? π§ Listen now: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ujXF4R7WJeLBrT8hV36Du?si=hDeI5EL5TsqflD5OumH69g βΆοΈ Watch here: https://youtu.be/n9rG1NQSGaQ π Subscribe to our WhatsApp Channel: https://bit.ly/UOSW-WhatsApp #Social

π¨ *ECHOES OF THOUGHT β NEW DROP!* π¨ The feminist movement is often seen as the universal banner under which all struggles for womenβs rights fall. But is that really the case? Not every historical fight for womenβs liberation was feminist. Not every advocacy for the oppressed female sex today is feminist. The struggle predates the movement, and imposing modern frameworks on past realities distorts history. So, should feminism be redefined strictly within its modern context? Or does it risk losing intellectual coherence by claiming ownership over all past and present struggles? π Think. Question.

π¨ *NEW EPISODE ALERT!* π¨ *Episode 3 of Understanding Our Social World is now live!* ποΈβ¨ Freedom is the ultimate pursuitβbut is it truly what it seems?

πΉ *ECHOES OF THOUGHT #3* πΉ Who truly carries the weight of democracy: the many or the few? We often speak of shared responsibility, yet history tells a different story. Maybe the real question isnβt who should lead, but why so many choose not to. *Sit with this thought, Share and Engage!* Subscribe to our *WhatsApp Channel for instant updates:* bit.ly/UOSW-WhatsApp Follow us on our social media and streaming platforms ππΎ π Spotify: bit.ly/UOSW-Spotify π YouTube: bit.ly/UOSW-YouTube π LinkedIn: bit.ly/UOSW-LinkedIn π Facebook: bit.ly/UOSW-Facebook π X (Twitter): bit.ly/UOSW-X #EchoesOfThought #Power #Democracy #UnderstandingOurSocialWorld
