The ability to retain memory, attentiveness, learning,
reasoning, problem solving, decision making, and navigating language are all
connected to cognitive thought. Without some level or aspect of cognitive
thought I would dare say that liberation is not possible. The best platform to
development such a skill might be chess which combines purpose with objective
and ultimately contributes to cognitive development.
The combination of thoughts and moves make chess an
interesting game to learn and a critical game to master for Afrikan’s. Once you
study chess and the purpose behind defeating an opponent, the idea of
liberation will become simple.
Let’s explore an example. Traveling on the train one
afternoon I noticed an advertisement for a local community college promoting a
new field of study, “Cyber Security”. Now at first I did not think much of it,
but I remember the lesson that comes through when playing chess. Every move has
a purpose. I looked back up at the article and asked myself why. Why that field
of study, why that college, and why now. All these questions lead me to the
discovery that the IT industry has been pushing initiatives across the country
to boost the pool of qualified computer specialist in the cyber security field
to combat all the digital theft that has taken place over the years. The idea
actually has more motives attached to it but only the purpose is relevant here.
The purpose is what created interest and ultimately lead to an investigation
which will also lead to a solution.
So please consider the purpose of all activities as if
playing chess and there will always be a logical explanation of how to over
come any obstacles associated with those activities.
