When people say, "Many other cultures had similar ideas to Marx," what they usually reveal is that they haven't actually read Marx and instead assume that Marxism is simply the idea of communism. But Marxism is far more than the belief that society should be communist.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Latest Victim of Communism.

And then they came for Anthropic.

And nobody spoke out - because they were too busy laughing and cheering.

@ShashiTharoor @CMOKerala യെന്തെരപ്പി get your Malayalam sandhi right.

Keralam + Varma = Keralavarma
(The last consonant of the first word gets dropped)

Similarly, Keralam + the suffix 'ite' would compound to form Keralite.

I'm sorry to the Rawls fans, but my favorite statement about him remains that of R. Geuss: Rawls' lack of a theory of power "is not a tiny mole that serves as a beauty spot to set off the radiance of the rest of the face, but an epidermal sign of a lethal tumour."

Earlier @ParakkalVarkey and I created a playlist compiling Salil Chowdhury's Malayalam and Bengali songs that share identical melodies – an endeavour born out of our deep affection for his music.

@NATO @SecGenNATO Hey asshole, the US bombing of Iran is not in open flaunting of international law? It only applies when the Russians do it?

[Varkey Parakkal @ParakkalVarkey]

@DepSecGenNATO @NATO @SecGenNATO They would've prosecuted you for war crimes if the Hague wasn't a toothless tool.

[Varkey Parakkal @ParakkalVarkey]

@NATO NATO isn't a 'defensive alliance' it's a mafia protection racket. Now they're sending billions to prolong a war they won't fight themselves. Cowards and warmongers.

Our study in Karnataka finds significant impact of agromet services on yields for rainfed Khariff crops. We have also seen increased uptake due to the establishment of District agromet field units. With increasing weather variability, this scheme should be enhanced, not stopped.
