Wakanda's history had produced few famous native philosophers. Bastet's Temple completely monopolized the right to interpret scripture and provide teachings. Given Wakanda's level of production, its policy of isolation, and its small population, famine had rarely broken out in Wakanda's history. Therefore, even after the Renaissance, when Wakandan exploration teams often traveled throughout the world, few Wakandans wanted to venture outside and see it for themselves.
The lack of ideological conflict and the paradise-like daily life were the two main factors that eroded ordinary people's desire to explore and think. Wakanda had far more theologians than philosophers. In the eyes of ordinary Wakandans, the gravest conflict was no more than the struggle over succession to the throne among the five tribes, who only appeared harmonious on the surface. Yet even such a "terrifying" event could only be found in library records, because the last full-scale conflict between all five tribes had taken place centuries ago.
"Simply put, Wakandans' material abundance cannot conceal their spiritual poverty. Openness means conflict, and Wakandans lack the experience and means to deal with conflict. Even so, Wakanda's high-welfare society can hold things together for now. For a long time, the Wakandan people's arrogance toward the outside world has also been able to resist constitutional government to a certain extent. To put it bluntly, Wakanda rarely helps its poor neighbors in Africa. If you want to open Wakanda up, then the first thing you must do is help Africa's Third World nations establish industries of their own. Mediate the disputes caused by the borders arbitrarily drawn across Africa by the major European and American powers. Establish the African Union to confront wars waged to seize Vibranium, rather than blindly seeking international standing through dependence."
