Jared Ball, a professor and activist, talked about how most people never really learn about capitalism in school and how the system is rigged, especially against Black and African people. He pointed out the huge wealth gaps, the role of things like credit and propaganda to keep people distracted, and how technology or things like cryptocurrency don’t actually change the power dynamics unless there’s political will and policy behind them. He emphasized that real change needs collective political action, not just financial literacy or individual hustle. He encouraged people to educate themselves, question what they’re told, and get involved in movements for real redistribution of wealth and power. Overall, it was a call for deeper understanding and revolution, not just fitting into the current system.
