Dear @theliverdoc, I think you have made a rather large assumption about a person you know nothing about, based on a clip.

You have no idea what I stand for, what I believe in, or the context of that conversation.

And there is nothing wrong with being seated on the floor. I was perfectly comfortable there and it was out of my own choice.

Sometimes respect has less to do with where someone is seated and more to do with how we choose to speak about people we don’t know.

Perhaps a little more context, and a little less assumption, would serve us all well.

Wishing you a low Resting Entropy

This clip is from the 2026 Asian U23 Athletics Championships, held at the Sport Development Center Stadium in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China, from 9–12 July 2026.

Shravani Sangle, a 20-year-old sprinter from Maharashtra ran the final leg for India in the mixed 4×400 m

China led going into the closing metres, & Shravani came from behind to pass China’s anchor just 0.10 seconds ahead.

I was holding my breath watching that final lap. It didn’t look even conceivable that she would be able to catch up.

But Shravan wasn’t willing to see finishing second to a powerhouse like China as inevitable & acceptable.

She didn’t see the yawning gap as an impossibility.

She was practising the art of the possible…

Giving up wasn’t acceptable.

Shravani is my #MondayMotivation

15 DAYS OF GULF WAR 3.0
WHO’S WINNING/LOSING? 🚨

Don’t waste time with the loud “won/lost” binaries around the Iran war. War is grey. Outcomes unfold slowly.

But three weeks in, there are things that can be said clearly beyond the cartoonish ‘winner vs loser’ frame.

First, Iran’s ‘victories’ are pronounced.

One, the regime has not collapsed. That was widely predicted in the opening days.

Two, Iran has dragged the war well past the two week mark despite facing the most powerful military coalition on earth.

Three, it continues to demonstrate lethal range. High value targets are still being struck deep into the theatre.

Four, it has forced its aggressors to turn to another aggressed nation. Ukraine is now being consulted to help counter one of the simplest weapons in the fight, the Shahed style drone.

Five, Iran has made Washington waffle on war aims. The messaging has sounded uncertain at times and even borderline desperate.

Six, it has produced the surreal moment of Trump dialing Putin. That was unthinkable when this war began.

Seven, the Hormuz episode. The idea now floating in US media that this was unforeseen is preposterous. The real surprise was that the war escalated enough to bring the Strait into play.

Eight, Iran has weaponised the economics of war. It has forced Israel and the Gulf arc to burn through extremely expensive air defence interceptors against swarms of cheap drones and missiles.

Nine, asymmetric battle craft has repeatedly disrupted what is otherwise a hyper digitised battlefield.

Ten, the diversion of a Marine Expeditionary Unit to the Middle East is telling. Even the world’s strongest military has had to reinforce the theatre.

Eleven, the war has fanned anti imperialist sentiment across the region. The post war political mood is shaping up to be inconvenient for Washington and a Trump administration already navigating strained relations with parts of the eastern hemisphere.

All of these are victories that can be pinned on Iran simply by virtue of drawing out the fight.

But declaring America the “loser” is just as preposterous.

US and Israeli forces have laid waste to large swathes of Iran’s military infrastructure. Much of its offensive strength has clearly been degraded and pinned down.

American victories are also visible.

One, the US has demonstrated overwhelming strike reach. Targets across Iran have been hit repeatedly with precision.

Two, Israel and the US have dominated the airspace over large parts of the theatre, a fundamental military advantage.

Three, much of Iran’s missile and launch infrastructure has been systematically hunted and destroyed.

Four, the US Navy and its allies have maintained control of the wider maritime environment despite threats around Hormuz.

Five, the war has reaffirmed American expeditionary power. Forces, aircraft and naval assets have surged into the region within days.

Six, Washington has shown it can coordinate a coalition response involving Israel and multiple Gulf states under intense pressure.

Seven, intelligence and surveillance networks have proven capable of sustaining a high tempo targeting cycle deep inside Iranian territory.

Eight, Iran’s military economy is under enormous strain. Replacing destroyed systems will be difficult under sanctions.

Nine, Israel’s layered missile defence architecture, even when stressed, has still intercepted large numbers of incoming threats.

Ten, the United States has reminded the world that it retains the ability to project force across continents almost at will.

War never produces neat scorecards. Both sides can accumulate victories while absorbing punishment. The Iran war, over 2 weeks in, is already proving that the simplistic winner loser frame tells you almost nothing about what is actually happening.

@b50 @TheEconomist @grok can you summarise the article linked

[Ramanajyothi @Searchof_WhoamI]

A young man in his mid-twenties knocks on the door of a renowned Guru. He says: “I’ve come to you because I wish to study Vedas.”

“Do you know Sanskrit?” the Guru asks.

“No,” replies the young man.

“Have you studied any Indian philosophy?”

“No. But don’t worry. I just finished my doctoral dissertation at Harvard on logic. So now, I would just like to round up my education with a little study of the Vedas.”

“I doubt,” the Guru says, “that you are ready to study Vedas. It is the deepest knowledge ever known. If you wish, however, I am willing to examine you in logic, and if you pass that test I will teach you Vedas.”

The young man agrees.

Guru holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

The young man stares at the Guru. “Is that really a test in logic?”

The Guru nods.

”The one with the dirty face washes his face“- he answers confidently.

“Wrong. The one with the clean face washes his face. Examine the logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face.”

“Very clever,” the young man says. “Give me another test.”

The Guru again holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face, the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

“We have already established that. The one with the clean face washes his face.”

“Wrong. Each one washes his face. Examine the logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face. When the one with the dirty face sees the one with the clean face wash his face, he also washes his face. So, each one washes his face.”

“I didn’t think of that,” says the young man. It’s shocking to me that I could make an error in logic. Test me again.”

The Guru holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

“Each one washes his face.”

“Wrong. Neither one washes his face. Examine the logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. But when the one with the clean face sees the one with the dirty face doesn’t wash his face, he also doesn’t wash his face. So, neither one washes his face.”

The young man is desperate. “I am qualified to study Vedas. Please give me one more test.”

He groans, though, when the Guru lifts two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

“Neither one washes his face.”

“Wrong. Do you now see why logic is an insufficient basis for studying Vedas? Tell me, how is it possible for two men to come down the same chimney, and for one to come out with a clean face and the other with a dirty face? Don’t you see? The whole question is nonsense, foolishness, and if you spend your whole life trying to answer foolish questions, all your answers will be foolish, too.”

That's why having wisdom is more important than having logic.

Infinite love
Infinite wisdom.

Attending a private school event in Gudalur, Tamil Nadu, Thiru @RahulGandhi avl said education should not be extremely expensive and should not be privatised (a moment later, he course-corrected upon realising the setting was a private institution, not a party platform).

A self-goal of sorts; delivering sermons against privatisation from a private school stage, in a state where the ruling DMK’s own leaders run and profit from a flourishing network of private educational institutions.
