Black Buddha Says: We Wuz Kings - A Blackwashed History (July 9, 2026)
Summary
Host Ryan Gable critiques modern pseudo-historical narratives, such as Afrocentric claims that Black Africans built all civilizations, arguing they stem from flawed assumptions rather than evidence. He analyzes symbolic misinterpretations, explaining that the Black Buddha represents the shadow self and Baphomet signifies the unification of opposites, not evil or transgender ideology. Gable connects these distortions to a broader societal decline in critical thinking, driven by internet algorithms and political polarization that prioritize clicks over truth.
