Unskilled is just one part of the problem. Entitled is the real problem.

You can skill the unskilled but can never convince the entitled to give up.

Individual mediocrity is hidden in collective supremacy. Mediocrity is amplified by the educational and social system.

[Krishna Rao, K 🇮🇳 @krishnaraobsf]

India's Biggest Economic Challenge Is not Inflation, Oil, or War - It is an Unskilled Population Addicted to Distraction.

Every time oil prices rise, economists panic. Every time a war breaks out in the Middle East or Europe, television studios declare that India's economy is under threat. And yes, both matter. But neither represents India's greatest economic challenge. The real crisis is unfolding much closer to home.

It is a generation that spends more time consuming content than creating value. A workforce that debates geopolitics without mastering spreadsheets, artificial intelligence, coding, welding, precision manufacturing, sales, finance, communication, or even basic problem-solving. An economy where attention has become the most wasted national resource.

India is one of the youngest countries in the world. That should have been our greatest competitive advantage. Instead, we risk turning our demographic dividend into a demographic liability.

The Age of Endless Consumption

Never before has information been so accessible. Yet never before have so many people spent so much time learning so little. Hours disappear into political debates, celebrity gossip, cricket controversies, influencer reels, conspiracy theories, and outrage cycles that have absolutely no impact on an individual's earning potential. Ask someone how many hours they spent on social media last week. Then ask them how many hours they invested in acquiring a new professional skill. For many, the answer is uncomfortable. We have become experts at commenting on the economy while contributing very little to it.

Degrees Are Not Skills

India has no shortage of graduates. It has a shortage of employable graduates. Companies repeatedly report the same problem: vacancies exist, but suitable candidates are difficult to find. Not because people lack certificates. Because many lack practical skills. The world is rewarding competence, not credentials.
- Can you solve problems?
= Can you communicate effectively?
- Can you sell?
= Can you lead a team?
- Can you analyze data?
- Can you use AI to improve productivity instead of merely asking it amusing questions?
- Can you create something that another person is willing to pay for?
Those are the questions that determine economic success. Not the number of degrees hanging on a wall.

Attention Is the New Currency

The biggest theft today is not of money. It is of attention. Every notification fragments concentration. Every endless scroll delays mastery. Every hour spent consuming outrage is an hour not spent building expertise.

Modern economies reward deep work, specialized knowledge, creativity, and disciplined execution. Algorithms reward emotional reactions. Unfortunately, millions choose the algorithm.

The Coming Divide

Artificial intelligence is not replacing everyone. It is replacing people who refuse to learn. The future will belong to workers who continuously upgrade themselves. Those who combine human judgment with technological tools will become dramatically more productive. Those who stop learning will find themselves competing for fewer opportunities at lower wages. The divide will not be between rich and poor. It will increasingly be between skilled and unskilled.

National Growth Begins With Individual Discipline

Governments can build highways. Businesses can build factories. Universities can build campuses. But none of them can force an individual to develop skills. Economic transformation begins with personal responsibility. Spend one less hour arguing online. Spend one more hour learning. Read instead of scrolling. Build instead of complaining. Acquire one valuable skill every year. Become indispensable.

If millions of Indians made that simple choice, the country's economic trajectory would change more profoundly than any fiscal stimulus, any election promise, or any temporary fall in oil prices.

Wars will end. Oil prices will rise and fall. Markets will recover. But a nation that neglects skill development while surrendering its attention to endless distraction will struggle long after those headlines have disappeared.

The strongest economy is not built by the loudest voices. It is built by the most capable people.

Lol 30% of Urban residents are without local hukou. "New Jianmin"

[Sweet Summer Shunü (甜夏淑女) - BIRTH 💍💖⭐💖💍 @SweetSummerSN]

If hukou is meant to be a cAsTeIsT system and a form of apartheid whereas India's caste problem is minor in comparison, and doesn't prevent lower castes from moving into cities, explain why China's urbanization rates had overtaken India's by a long shot:

[Boomer @accesscode305]

Lol you know why startups move to Bangalore. Deep tech engineers don't want to move to Chennai.

You get three airports also, it will be the same.

Same during the previous Blockchain era.

These edge case tech companies try to get the best in biz and no way they're moving.

[Chennai Updates @UpdatesChennai]

Another Chennai based (IIT Madras) incubated startup now headquartered out of Bangalore. One of the founder is even Tamil. How many such startup's have we lost to Bengaluru as it has better ecosystem for the state?? Idhule stop developing Chennai & focus on other cities ahm 😒

[Boomer @accesscode305]

@cbkwgl I think the other way. Infact deal goes through, chabbar comes back on the table.
Also, only countries which can rebuild the destruction are china & india.
Except china, they don't have other buyers for now.
Oil may fall less than 60 because of supply generally.

Mono or Poly is again a dualistic choice based on Abrahamic construct.

Hinduism is pan theistic. There can be absolute atheistic belief also (nirishvaravada and not nastika) when Dharma is preserved.

[Hindu American Foundation @HinduAmerican]

Is Hinduism monotheistic or polytheistic? The answer isn't that simple.

For years, textbooks have labeled Hindus as polytheistic. In response, and in an effort to fit into familiar Abrahamic frameworks, many of us have pushed back by saying, "We're monotheistic too, we believe in one God with many manifestations." It's what we tell our teachers. It's what we tell our children.

But in doing so, we may have limited our understanding of our own traditions.
Hindu Dharmas encompass a variety of teachings about Ultimate Reality and the Divine. Rather than turning away from that complexity, we can embrace the openness of these traditions and their willingness to approach profound questions from multiple perspectives.

What if we could wipe the slate clean of colonial narratives and begin to learn and present Hindu traditions in their entirety, with all of their important contextual nuances?
What if we examined Hindu histories and Dharmas through archaeological, genetic, literary, and sociological lenses?
As part of #HinduAmericanAt250, we're changing the way we talk about Hindu Dharmas. We are making it easy for you to be Hindu in America.

Again these guys are absolutely fishing in the same pond.

Highlights 3 cases but says north indians behind crimes recently. No stats.

What about the north indian who was subjected to violence?

Simply bad narrative this.

[Indhavaainko (இந்தாவாய்ங்கோ) 👊 @indhavaainko]

This is not about North Indians or South Indians.

It is about whether the state maintains adequate records of people coming from other states for work, so criminal elements can be identified and crimes prevented instead of arresting after the crime is happening. That is a governance question, not a regional one.

Think of it as asking for an NRC-like registry at the state level for better law enforcement and public safety.

Just because he used வடமாநிலங்கள், it doesn't mean that it is regionalism. I wish people read and understand before commenting on such sensitive subjects 🙏

Last consequence of this for chennai.
This will stoke unseen migration levels.

Chennai will further get choked. Water table will reduce.

[Boomer @accesscode305]

How people are just blindsided?
Parandur is a second airport.
If it happens, tier2 airports will become cricket grounds.

POC already made it tough by chennai lobby.

Hyd/BLR have become single point of failure for the states.

TN doesn't need to lookup to them.

[Vamsi Chandran @VamsiChandran]

These fools dont understand that if Parandur does not happen investments will not be going to Madurai, Coimbatore, Trichy, Tuti & Salem.
They will be majorly going to Bengaluru and Hyderabad which have world class airports, Those 2 cites have already pushed Chennai back in service sector.
Now Andhra which is building multiple sea ports and airports is aiming to push TN back in Manufacturing sector.

[Boomer @accesscode305]

1500 acre Cargo airport. Modernization of current terminals at Chennai. Handover the airport to private mgmt, improve taxi mgmt.

This would ensure demand is met for 20 years.

Remove POC and offload south east asia second flights to Trichy.
Add direct connections to CJB

Social hierarchy exists in China even before Hukou.

Though recent caste pyramids are exaggeration, hierarchy is codified and they rarely open up on it.

[चेदिराड्रिपुपार्षदः 🟩⬜️⬛️ @Saatvata]

Minisformation is unfortunate whether it comes from Indian trolls and botfarms or Chinese trolls and botfarms.
However, misinformation works only if other people believe it.
No one genuinely believes China has a hereditary caste system.

Some Israelis radiating their take on the deal as India's.

India would absolutely welcome this deal. First it is massive fiscal relief.
Second no big geopolitical win or loss this. Sure Pakistan use this to be eyesore but Qataris made this happen.
Deal signing in Geneva.

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

India is cautiously welcoming the Iran deal, but let’s be clear: this is a disaster for India.

1️⃣ This deal has elevated India’s arch-nemesis Pakistan to the level of global peacemaker. It undermines India’s efforts to call out Pakistan’s destabilizing behavior and support for terrorism by making Islamabad a byword for peacemaking. It also transforms Pakistan into a powerbroker and leader of the Global South at India’s expense.

2️⃣ The capitulation allows Iran to dominate India’s western trading gateway. Before the Iranian Axis launched the October 7 War, India was dreaming of building the IMEC trade corridor through the Gulf and Israel to Europe. It was meant to slash transit costs and turbocharge Indian manufacturing. An emboldened Iran with ballistic missiles and billions in sanctions relief imperils that vision. Iran receives a veto over any infrastructure project in a maritime zone it seeks to dominate. Critically, the deal emboldens Iran’s proxy armies by establishing the precedent that they are inviolable, and this will threaten shipping in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea.

3️⃣ This deal keeps nearly 10 million Indians in the shadow of Iran’s ballistic missiles and killer drones The Iranian attack on Kuwait’s airport killed an Indian and the attack on Fujeirah injured three. India needs the Iranian threat neutralized to safeguard its migrant workers and the essential remittances they send home.

4️⃣ The failure to resolve the nuclear issue, while surrendering US leverage, means India will continue to be threatened by an Iranian regime in league with Pakistan pursuing nuclear weapons. It will continue to attack Indian interests with impunity and sow chaos in West Asia, sabotaging the stability that India needs for long-term economic projects. A nuclear-threshold Iran leaves India permanently exposed.

India’s approach of neutrality is unsustainable and jeopardizes its long-term interests. This disastrous deal must push it to reevaluate its geopolitical posture in a world in which Iran is dangerous and Pakistan is ascendant. Closer military and economic ties with Israel, similarly threatened by this news, is inevitable.

[Boomer @accesscode305]

Why US stopped the war?
SPR is at its lowest.
Another month it would been ATL.

Second reason is SpaceX. If market struggles now, SpaceX launch would lose confidence.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Iran war by the numbers, and none of them are good…

-$29 billion spent by the U.S. military
-$58 billion in Gulf energy infrastructure damaged or destroyed
-Global growth slowing from 2.9% to 2.5%
-The World Bank downgrading two-thirds of countries
-Gas hitting $4/gallon nationally and $6 in California

127 ships transited the Strait of Hormuz in the entire 3 weeks between May 18-June 7, before the war that number was 100 ships per day.

15 Asian countries are now seeking emergency loans, the Philippines declared a national energy emergency and bought Russian oil for the first time in 5 years, and Sri Lanka moved to a 4-day work week.

A deal was agreed to yesterday and the Strait will reopen Friday after it’s made official… but the bill for this war will be paid for years to come.

We are now speaking directly to the Iranian system. We have some good relationships there.

We are not passing messages through backchannels anymore; we are actually talking to them.

When you talk to them, you figure out what's real, what's fake, what they're serious about, and what they're not serious about.
