EDUCATION SHOULD BE KILLED
Memorise. Write . Pass. Get degree. Get job. This was the formula paper thrust upon us , but now it is high time to tear it up
A medical student burns five years of his time doing MBBS, two years post graduation, then two or three more for specialisation , totalling 10 years to learn what the A I in his pocket already knows .
The doctor conducts tests , sees data and makes diagnosis from his accumulated knowledge to suggest treatment
Now A I is doing all that with far more precision and unimaginably faster without fatigue or preoccupation
Geoffrey Hinton, the man who built the foundations of modern AI , is shouting from roof tops that A I will do everything far better
All experts agree that A I will keep take over what doctors are currently doing in the next 1 or 2 years
So why exactly are students still preparing for NEET or joining medical courses?
When diagnosis is algorithmic and surgery is robotic, the human doctor slowly starts becoming a middleman for which he doesn’t need to do a course for 10 years
Teachers still say “It’s in the syllabus.”
Parents still say “Everyone else is doing it.”
The youngster who dares to ask “Why am I memorising what my phone already knows ?” is treated like a radical instead of the only sane person
This is not about demeaning parents or teachers.They either do not know or living in denial
When the conventional education system is already in the mortuary why are we refusing to bury it?
Everyone needs to buckle up and kill the education system in its present form , before young peoples futures are killed by the elderly ignorants
The only hope is to steer them super fast towards A I and throw everything else into the dust bin
NEET was introduced with three principal promises: (1) reduce the burden, (2) eliminate commercialisation, and (3) improve standards.
On every one of these counts, #NEET has failed. It has merely shifted the centre of learning from schools to coaching centres.
The problem with NEET has always been structural, not merely procedural. Recent events have vindicated that concern.
The ongoing student protests must serve as a wake-up call for the Union Government. It's time to trust the states. It's time to abolish NEET.

Kuldeep Yadav should be thinking of packing his bags and saying goodbye to international cricket. Today there was no Bumrah, no Washington, no Varun but Kuldeep still didn't find a place in 11. India's bowling attack at Lord's is one dimensional and lacks variety. A left-arm wrist spinner would have come handy. Remember he has 194 wickets in 118 ODIs. It seems these numbers don't matter.
Cricket gyaan: has Kuldeep Yadav @imkuldeep18 become the Kobbie Mainoo of Indian cricket: only available as a sub and drinks carrier in England? Crazy that he just doesn’t get a game. Four fast bowlers without Bumrah is a recipe for a potentially weak attack. 🙏
The only defense for not playing Kuldeep usually is that the batting finishes at number 7, wonder how it feels to have Arshdeep at number 8 today!
Adding Bumrah’s absence to that, one can only feel bad for Kuldeep.
Trust me, this can affect the rythm and confidence of a bowler.#INDVENG
@ZEE5India when World Cup is within 30days . Why can’t u provide one month subscription .
You are making fifa inaccessible to Indians.
It’s a betrayal against nation.
This ‘no shaking hands’ is such a silly thing that India has started. It’s unbecoming of a nation like ours. Either play properly within the spirit of the game or don’t play at all.
We will continue to fight against the unconstitutional Government Order (GO 29) that precludes SC, ST, OBC and EWS aspirants from getting their due share in employment opportunities
Also the presidential order of 95% reservations to Telangana youth is being violated
BRS will stand by the constitution and Telangana youth✊
Vinesh, you are a champion among champions! You are India's pride and an inspiration for each and every Indian.
Today's setback hurts. I wish words could express the sense of despair that I am experiencing.
At the same time, I know that you epitomise resilience. It has always been your nature to take challenges head on.
Come back stronger! We are all rooting for you.

Rohit Sharma said "I am not big fan of impact sub rule. It is going to hold all-rounders back, guys like Dube & Sundar aren’t getting to bowl which is not a good thing for us - it is entertaining as there are 12 players, giving lots of options". [Club Prairie Fire YT]
