you don't even need a vpn to get around the telegram ban. telegram was literally built with censorship resistance in mind and has spent years operating in countries with far more aggressive internet controls than india.

history has repeatedly shown that blocking a communication platform is far easier to announce than it is to enforce.

68 college students played video games an hour a day for 30 weeks. They got measurably smarter. EEG brain scans confirmed it.

The setup was simple. Half the group played League of Legends, an action game. The other half played Legends of the Three Kingdoms, a strategy card game. Same hours, same schedule, no gaming experience for anyone going in. Both groups improved on attention, working memory, and executive function. The League group's gains were significantly larger in spatial attention and spatial working memory. The benefits were still measurable 10 weeks after the gaming stopped.

None of this is new.

Daphne Bavelier's lab at the University of Geneva has been replicating this finding since the early 2000s. Her 2018 meta-analysis in Psychological Bulletin pulled data from 8,970 participants across 15 years and found the same thing. Action games train attentional control, a brain skill that transfers to other tasks. Strategy games train deliberation, which mostly stays inside the strategy game.

The mechanism is the counterintuitive part. Action games train your brain by giving you no time to think. The brain can't deliberate. League of Legends throws 9 champions, hundreds of minions, dozens of abilities, mana, cooldowns, and map state at you, all updating in milliseconds. The brain learns to perceive faster instead. That perceptual speed transfers to anything else that demands the same skill.

Including surgery.

The 2007 Rosser study in Archives of Surgery found that laparoscopic surgeons who played video games more than 3 hours a week made 37% fewer errors, completed procedures 27% faster, and scored 42% higher on overall performance. The top third of gamers made 47% fewer errors. Laparoscopic surgery is a 2D screen with distorted depth perception, remote-controlled instruments, and multiple data streams updating in real time. The cognitive profile is almost identical to an action video game.

The 10-week persistence is the part that should change how this gets discussed. If the gains were just from practicing the game, they would have disappeared the moment the students stopped playing. They didn't. The 30 weeks rewired the perceptual system, and the rewiring stayed.

Congress party unequivocally supports Women’s Reservation. Parliament unanimously passed the bill in 2023, it is already part of our Constitution.

What the government is proposing now has nothing to do with women’s reservation. This amendment is an attempted power grab using delimitation and gerrymandering.

We will not allow ‘Hissa Chori’ from OBC, Dalit and Adivasi communities by ignoring the caste census data. We will also not allow Southern, North Eastern, North Western and smaller states to be treated unfairly.

🚨 #Delimitation : A Serious Threat to #southindian States! ⚠️

If the proposed delimitation is based on population, 4 Northern states 🏛️ will get 324 seats (36%) on nation, while South Indian states will have just 165 seats! ⚖️❌

📉 Using #NFHS Fertility Rate & Population Projections (India’s Emerging Crisis of Representation Study), here’s the expected increase in Lok Sabha seats:

🔺 Northern States
📌 Rajasthan – 📈 +100%
📌 Bihar – 📈 +98%
📌 Madhya Pradesh – 📈 +79%
📌 Uttar Pradesh – 📈 +79%

🔻 Southern States
📌 Karnataka – 📈 +46%
📌 Andhra Pradesh & Telangana – 📈 +29%
📌 Tamil Nadu – 📈 +26%
📌 Kerala & Puducherry – ❌ 0%

South, which controlled population, is now penalized!.

Prediction: In the AI age, taste will become even more important. When anyone can make anything, the big differentiator is what you choose to make.

Indian stock exchanges are closed today for Mumbai's municipal elections.

The fact that our exchanges, which have international linkages, are shut down for a local municipal election shows poor planning and a serious lack of appreciation for second-order effects.

As Munger said: "Show me the incentive, and I will show you the outcome."
The holiday exists because no one who matters has any incentive to oppose the market holiday.

It also tells you how far we have to go before global investors take us seriously.

Our goal at M-League is to be to be the default platform for games in India. Whether they are games made in India or games made outside looking to launch in India.

Keep Building!
