The big BUT now is now in our language and divorced from any sense of our culture or our morals. Therefore, as soon as higher learning started, our elite figured out they can emport ideas from Russia to bring them into power, so we had a 60s revolution. They abanden that ethos of education for the communication of truth and the enoblement of the masses, and enculturation to education to secure power and resources and internationalism. It is still that way. That's why the elite are protective and defensive and prideful about their 'knowlege'.
This development means, there is no public intellectual in a genuine sense, or books people can read on the subject in there own language. There is no Architecture, Art, Chemistry, biology, Political theory, Maths, ... that developed with our language in a way people can easily access to. If you don't have words and concept in your language, then those things doesn't exist for you.
You asked previously why biblical tradition has not produced the 'image of God' and natural laws, simple put, why we are the way we are. This is extremely fruitful question and are of great puzzlement. You would think there might be serious books trying to figuring it out why. But there are none that I know of that sufficently address this.
I would like to investigate it more in the future, I can give you some tentative ideas I have.
If you pick up the pattern from the literacy revolution i provided early on, Knowledge for the mass is another way of saying ' Truth for all !'. ( That a good motto) This is indirect opposition to Nostic ideas that dominated our country that seek to restrain knowledge inside elit circles. That's why we like to hide our knowledge btw. The unwillingness of gov't to translate greate scientific text even to this day never cease to amaze me. What is our govt is doing with Ai now? Translating greate books to be make them available for public or institute Ai in public camera and bank account so that it's easy to do servillance and control the public? The answer is ' we do what we think will increase our power, not what enables peoples. '
The other issue in our public moral is in regarding to what we regard as hero. The hero in western sense is very different than the hero in Ethiopian sense. For ex, The saints in protestant have a social realm but the saints in orthodox are only personal, no social dimension. The protestant succeed and fail in the social realm, not just in a personal realm. Personal initiative for the public are praiseworthy in a spiritual sense instade of strict adherence to tradition wherein you have to be a monk and need to isolate yourself far from social life.
This has a massive implications. If you ask the protestant who are your greate heros in a religious sense, you will findout it's the person that did the most good in the public realms, not just for themselves. It will be the missionary, the explorer, the discoverer, the inventer...We Ethiopia take the hero as either a battle warrior or a spiritual desert father. There is no social heroism that is not associated with either with war or monk.
