@amitvarma Here is a funny line from the Thinking Fast and Slow wiki entry: 'Others have noted the irony in the fact that Kahneman made a mistake in judgment similar to the ones he studied.'

[ashutosh jangle @ashutoshjangle]

@amitvarma As is common in social psychology, many experiments described in Thinking Fast and Slow struggle with replicability. https://t.co/vOiFLxiIr8
Interestingly, Kahneman had also admitted this.

No, this is not a satirical post. This is as real as it can get!

1. The current term of #LokSabha hasn't had a Deputy Speaker yet. This is unprecedented. It violates Article 93 of the #ConstitutionOfIndia & Govt is about to get away with it without any consequences.

2. The current 17th Lok Sabha likely to be the full term LS with least number of #Parliament sittings, only 278 (approx, including the scheduled dates of upcoming last session). This is an average of only 56 days in a year. In 2020, #COVID19 became an excuse to bring down number of Parliament sittings to a historic low of only 33 days in a year. We plan to export #Aadhaar and #UPI to the world, but we couldn't convene virtual Parliament sessions, which many democracies did.

3. With less number of Parliament sittings, Govt relied more on Ordinances - 76 Ordinances between 2014-2021. · The three controversial #farmlaws were first brought as Ordinances as people were busy surviving the first wave of Covid in 2020.

@srijanshdas Actually I know many scientists and phds in pure sciences who are full of pseudoscientific and supernatural beliefs.

What I argued today in the contempt.

Since the Court has taken contempt of the article “Brahminism in Judiciary” written in savukku online , I relied on a report of the National Commission for SC / ST which advocated for reservation in the judiciary. 1/5

Reminder. 30C in homeopathy means diluted 100×, successively, 30 times. That means, finally, 1 part in 10⁶⁰. To compare, there are about 10⁴³ water molecules on all of earth. The likelihood of having even one A.a. molecule remaining in a 30C preparation is basically zero.

"It takes a long time to learn to live-by the time you learn your time is gone." wrote Halmos. I think it is tautological. For only when our time is over do we believe that we have finally learnt how to live. If given more time, we would realise we were wrong.
