If you document every general thought you get, the frequency at which you get such thoughts increases. If you ignore the thoughts, you soon stop getting any. It's reminiscent of the parable of talents.

When I was an undergraduate student, I had to decide whether to record the aphorisms and poems that tended to come to me at the most inopportune moments (for instance during lectures) or to ignore them and focus on my studies. In short, I had to decide whether to listen to Nature

Our publishing rates are actually ridiculously low. We can edit a 30,000-word manuscript, lay out the pages, design the cover, print 200 copies, and deliver copies to the national library and the bookstores within a budget of UGX5m. In a normal world, editing alone would cost

Ugandans believe that, when money is the end, all means are justified. That's why people like Michael Ezra, Ivan Ssemwanga and Brian White became overnight sensations, although their source of income was shrouded in mystery. Priests and parishioners will believe that a man gets

Your stimuli reflect your soul and your ticket to greatness. As a little girl in Sunday School, Whitney Houston was moved by music to a greater degree than her peers. It's the same with almost every other person that became a great singer or songwriter. Every person that

"The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau." You can fake some things, but not others. When you generate a video or a think piece using AI, you can only fool those who don't know your literary or literal voice.

In a typical rural village in many parts of Uganda, there is inverse proportionality between the quality of a house and the number of days it's occupied in a year. The best houses are occupied less than seven days a year, and the worst are occupied 365 days a year!

When they misunderstand you, they inadvertently offer you a peek into their minds. But, many times, the offer is not worth taking.

People who don't think at all become uncomfortable when others think aloud. It's actually unfair to think aloud when in close proximity to those who don't think. When you are on social media, you are always in such proximity.

It seems it's better to be seen as a person who can't get the spelling right than to be seen as a person who writes using LLMs. I guess it's because the former is perceived as a case of mere incompetence whereas the latter is perceived as a case of both incompetence and cheating.

The Bible was written over a period of 1500 years by dozens of inspired authors. Moses is considered the author of the first five books. If he wrote them, then someone else must have later inserted some addendum to Deuteronomy, since Moses couldn't have written about his own

In this age of oversaturation of information, the only novels worth writing -- or reading -- may be those that combine dramatic intensity, intellectual intensity and linguistic innovativeness, from the first paragraph to the last. If any of the three elements is missing, the time

Some, whose ancestral land was in Kampala, lost it and got buried scores of miles away from the city. Others, whose ancestral land was hundreds of miles away from Kampala, ended up getting buried on their private land in the city. The African immigrations we studied in history

If they are recommended to you by your friends, it usually means that they are social, but it may not mean that they are competent. Ask yourself whether your friends are really good judges of competence. If they are recommended by experts, they are usually competent, but may not
