A quick recap of the past 100 years & of trade, commerce that shaped our world today

Prior to Federal Reserve (Fed), there was no single national currency in the US. Each bank issued its own banknotes. A dollar issued in, say Farmers bank in PA, might be worth 80 cents in NY!

Updated my notes.

Views of eminent personalities on god, universe, consciousness, reality & faith.

The modern day #DravidaModel, otoh, is racial, political & filled with false narratives.

[Mani Ramachandran @manig16]

Adi Shankara (788-820), a Keralite, geographically a dravidian & his view on the universe:

* God (Brahma, Paramatma) is absolute, infinite & the only reality.
* Universe is an illusion (maya) which Iswara created.
* Self (Atma) is Brahma, but distorted by maya & ego.

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. The experience of mystery mixed with fear engendered religion. I'm a deeply religious man. I cannot conceive of a God who rewards & punishes his creatures or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves.

From Albert Einstein's Ideas & Opinions:

Compared with the American, the European is more self-conscious, less kind-hearted & helpful, generally more or less of a pessimist. The American lives more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming

@ndtv Wondering if Zoho is going to punish the US by not selling its products & services to its US customers?

@PTI_News IF and IF Annamalai can take 3 to 5% of dravida party votes & TVK retain its voter base, both dmk & admk are done & dusted in TN.

Smile for expressing joyous things,
Words for describing simple things,
Art for drawing deeper things,
Math for solving complex things,
Moral action for all living things.

Dear @Polymarket @Kalshi
Starting next week for four weeks, the US online community is going to have unlimited instant expertise on FIFA World Cup trends, present & past matches & players, soccer-football fights, it then will nose dive to zero after the finals.

@WorldAndScience Moral & discipline.

IF not taught, something else will fill the void.

@SanviSharm49500 Is that an outside-in view?

And what safety is meant here?? Physical threat? Job safety? (There is no job safety in the US for at least the last 3 decades)

I know it’s hard to get a work visa because of the lack of sponsorship w/ 100K fee.

Hard - Yes
Not safe - No

Be Authentic!!

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

At university graduation ceremonies this spring, commencement speakers have been getting booed for championing AI, given how the technology might threaten their job prospects.

In a commencement speech at Bard College last week, I delivered a more hopeful message — that humans can do essential things that computers simply can’t. Here are some highlights from that speech:

@pushpendrakum Write a bill & push it to the congress, if you can. Don’t troll.

@theerealtao The changes in pressure & temp causes the wind to blow. The ear +brain experience that pressure oscillation as sound. A faulty ear won’t.

For Spinoza reality is god & for
Paul Dirac god is a mathematician.The human spirit may experience it. A fish, bird spirit may also. Why not?

@svembu Meanwhile Zoho plays a different game keeping its P/S speculative/secret to the public. IF IF IF they have to sell, their P/S probably will be also in double digits!!

[Mani Ramachandran @manig16]

@svembu I think it’s insane only if P/S for these tech companies are not in double digits. Most of them are still in the build out phase with the risk of expanding the infrastructure & raw materials supply chains. The wall st has gone thru several boom & bust cycles since its inception!!
