@sauravyadav1133 "How can people divided into several thousands of castes be a nation? The sooner we realise that we are not as yet a nation, in the social and psychological sense of the word, the better for us." (Baba Saheb's famous 25 November 1949 speech).

@BarryGarelick @rastokke @ToddTruitt76508 it's straightforward that if someone believes "I'm just not a math person", finds Math aversive, they r more likely to avoid effort, disengage at difficulty, and changing those beliefs reduces that barrier n increases motivation & persistence, but it needs pedagogical methodology

@Sachingupta Noida & Ghaziabad became properly livable and a proper NCR because of Sri Akhilesh Yadav Jee. He focused on projects that directly changed the everyday lives of citizens, their lifestyle, and comfort of living; because of his work, even Dilshad Garden East Delhi benefited greatly

@Sushmitav1 India STILL uses Marx & "communist ideology" a lot in education: caste and class in access to education, education system reproducing existing relations of power and class inequality, manufacturing education which market needs, coaching, meritocracy, unequal material conditions

@vijayshekhar AI data center ecological suitability, 10-point scale: Iceland 9.8, Norway 9.6, Sweden/Finland 9.5, Canada 9.2, US 8.8, Scotland 8.7, NewZealand 8.5, France 8.3, Germany 7.8, India ~5.2.

Who is inviting such 'East India Company' to India? They will consume 20+ million liters/day

@sauravyadav1133 advanced learners, remedial classes होते हैं और होने चाहिए, लेकिन इस तरह का नामांकन करके काम करना जाति व्यवस्था ही है , दिल्ली सरकार ने भी ऐसा ही अजीबोगरीब नामांकन करा हुआ है - चार वर्गों में

@BBCPanorama How has the "uniform" improved results? It seems like a preconceived conclusion.

@KashifKakvi China stopped kinship exploitation (not prostitution, just kinship exploitation) through its sheer state-mandated force of law,
To remove a societally identifiable, removable wrong, you don't need the whole society to be just; remove that wrong (Sen, Idea of Justice)

[Raman. Teacher Trainer. CALCULUS in Preschool @mathosophia]

@KashifKakvi when you cannot imagine justice, you cannot see injustice. One person trying to stop the juggernaut doesn't seem to be a replicable model, but since there is no other way, it is the only resort. When the model is kinship extraction, it will never cease to work

[Raman. Teacher Trainer. CALCULUS in Preschool @mathosophia]

@KashifKakvi The article is good, but there is a huge blunder- Palermo Protocol Article 3(c)- recruiting or harbouring a child for exploitation is trafficking even when none of the coercive means in 3(a) are present, so the journalist shouldn't write "Sex Work" @MehulMalpani

@readingkafka wow, so beautiful; active space to achieve social democracy along with learning; best thing is to keep it open during nighttime as well

@peeleraja I would so much like to think through. Thus the book transforms me and what I think. I write in order to change myself, and not to think the same thing as before." 2/2

[Raman. Teacher Trainer. CALCULUS in Preschool @mathosophia]

@peeleraja This is what even Foucault said. In his words - "If I had to write a book in order to communicate what I already think, before starting to write it, I would never have the courage to undertake it. I only write because I don't know yet exactly what to think of this thing 1/2

Narrative management is the native tongue of venture capital; Derrida disclosed it; Garry uses it and wants it to be his hidden structure rather than others'. 9/n

[Raman. Teacher Trainer. CALCULUS in Preschool @mathosophia]

America should focus on "reading" more. Not only Johny, but even James and Noah couldn't read.

Garry loves Alpha School,
and book that he is referring to is Discipline and Punish.

In this book, Foucault lists the machinery of the school: enclosure and partitioned space, 1/n

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Saturday morning and it’s a good time to think a bit about how our functional systems are being torn down by a mind virus by two philosophers: Foucault and Derrida

Foucault: His framework tells you that every institution claiming to know something is really just exercising power. Medicine, engineering, law, science. Apply that at civilizational scale and you get exactly what Dan Wang warns about: a society that lost the will to build. Process knowledge — the tacit know-how that only exists in the hands of people who actually make things — dies when a culture decides that all knowledge claims are suspect. America went from building the Interstate Highway System and the Apollo rockets to being unable to build a train from LA to SF. That didn't happen because we forgot the engineering. It happened because we built an entire intellectual class whose job is to interrogate every system rather than improve one.

Derrida: His move is that every commitment contains its own contradiction, so you can never land on firm meaning. Run that as societal firmware and you get the bureaucratic paralysis we now live in. Infrastructure projects stuck in 15 years of environmental review because every statement of purpose deconstructs under the next round of stakeholder input. Institutions that can't say what they're for because every draft mission statement gets wordsmithed into mush by people trained to find the hidden hierarchy in any clear sentence. Derrida is the OS behind a civilization that can write a 4,000 page environmental impact report but can't pour concrete.

The real damage is these ideas escaped the lab. Every institution that adopted this operating system stopped trying to discover truth and started managing narrative. DEI bureaucracies, academic hiring committees, media editorial standards. All running on Foucault and Derrida whether they know it or not.

The antidote is building. The physical bridge across a river holds or it doesn’t. The code compiles or it doesn't. Reality keeps score and it doesn't grade on a curve.

Foucault and Derrida gave a generation a sophisticated excuse to never build anything. Their followers inherited the sophistication and the impotence.

It’s time to build again.

[Raman. Teacher Trainer. CALCULUS in Preschool @mathosophia]

Garry's hate for Derrida is special because Derrida reveals the reason for success behind Y Combinator: "stop trying to discover truth and start managing narrative". 8/n
