Dr. Dagnachew Assefa, a prominent philosophy scholar, provided new insights into the "Medemer" philosophy. He stated that the core of the philosophy is not to assert its own correctness but to invite a collective assessment of Ethiopia’s past.

Dr. Dagnachew clarified that "Medemer" does not aim to disparage previous governments. He explained, "When Medemer talks about the past, it's not meant to be a way of disparaging what came before, saying, 'I'm the only one who's right,' or 'They were useless.'" He added that the book cautiously addresses past regimes, from monarchs to the EPRDF, carefully highlighting their shortcomings to provide valuable input for future change.

The scholar further emphasized that the philosophy rejects the idea of a single, correct narrative. "Medemer doesn't operate with the mindset that there is one crucial question and one correct answer," he said. He added that the philosophy is open to being challenged and is not based on a single foundation of religion, science, or morality.

Dr. Dagnachew concluded by comparing "Medemer" to the Ethiopian philosopher Zera Yacob, who invited others to build upon his ideas rather than treat them as final. Similarly, he said, "Medemer" does not claim that its ideas are complete or beyond critique.
