Technology is interesting, but there’s no need to be a big tech fan. Foldable phones don’t feel very appealing. Apple does some things well, especially the UI and overall experience, but some of the pricing feels unnecessary and many new features don’t make much difference in everyday use. A basic model is usually enough, and spending a lot on a phone doesn’t seem worth it.

Why does the West keep trying to spread democracy abroad—and why does it always backfire? It’s driven by a grand illusion.
🏛️ The Goal: Liberal nations think they can turn the whole world into peaceful democracies.
💥 The Reality: Forcing this ideology triggers endless wars and instability.
🛡️ The Power: Nationalism and balance-of-power politics always win over liberal ideals.
🚪 The Result: Trying to fix everyone else just creates chaos at home and abroad.
Good intentions don't equal good foreign policy. 🗺️ #TheGreatDelusion #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #InternationalRelations #History
Thanks for suggesting this book, @btarunr .@MearsheimerJ has done a great job with it. The book basically argues that America’s dream of spreading liberalism and democracy across the world isn’t very realistic. It might work to some extent at home, but when it runs into nationalism and realism, it doesn’t really hold up.

How do free societies slip into total control? It follows a simple psychological script:
👤 People feel lonely and anxious.
📺 A crisis narrative gives them a single thing to blame.
🤝 A collective movement forms, demanding absolute loyalty.
🚫 Anyone who asks questions is treated as the enemy.
Real freedom starts with the courage to think outside the group. 👥❌ #PsychologyOfTheCrowd #StayAware
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

@IamSriSudharsan Which led to total deep isolation because there is no proper ecosystem in reality for that much deep insights no reward no relatability nothing now it's just YOU and you and just You(imagination).

"100% Bengalis will eat NON-VEG during Durga Puja. We will eat Mutton"
"No sadhu or political party can dictate dietary choices. No Baba is above Swami Vivekananda"
@texanus_sum@RajivMessage There is no Brahmanical rite which nessiaitates the removal of women. Infact, the yagyamana can't do a homa without their wife. You can't go to heaven without these rites and your wife.

Meat is core to Shakta Hinduism. It is offered to Ma Durga and Ma Kali as part of the ancient rituals. The Prasad eaten by the devotees on Navami/Dasami at Durga Puja is meat. Any interference in this sacred ritual will not be tolerated.
