Abstract
This is a considerably updated version of my letter, written soon after Azagaia’s death and published one year after in Instituto de Estudos Sociais e Econo´micos (IESE) series in Portuguese and English: “Rapper Azagaia Rekindled Hope for a Better Society. A Letter to Azagaia”, BoletimIDeIASNo156E, 2024, https://www.iese.ac.mz/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Ideias-156E-JR.pdf. Many thanks for colleagues in the CIPHER ERC CoG team at University College Cork for their support in mourning when I wrote the previous letter, especially professor J. Griffith Rollefson. And many thanks for JPMS editor Jonathan J. Leal for the support in this letter.
