@Raja_Sw You do write very well, you have had great experiences, know amazing people and think with depth and clarity. Here's to more great conversations, even if short. Happy Birthday!

@anujg Falsafa time? Hope you are well.

Is there a difference between mental labour and intelligence?
Is this what should lead to post multiple intelligences theory? Do tell me if you've read of this, if it is defined by anyone.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.

@sunainak Kahan dikh rahi hai growth ya productivity? Ragi biskut startups mein?
Koi toh value creation kare, quality aur reputation banaye. Too few of those, not enough to pull ahead.

@namitaj68 Reminds me of the start of that wonderful Dharmendra Sharmila Tagore movie :)

Ashoke Sen has been awarded the prestigious Oskar Klein Medal for 2026, becoming the first Indian physicist to receive the honour.

Previous recipients include Nobel laureates Chen-Ning Yang, Steven Weinberg and Hans Bethe, who received the medal in its first three years.

@sunainak Jaayein to jaayein kahan. And that's the smart ones asking.

[Siri Srinivas @pjux]

Traditional schooling is bad, ineffective, boring. Somehow this is way worse?

[meetasengupta @Meetasengupta]

@sambit_dash yup, got it too. Ignored it, it did not sound like you.

@MusingGee Nainital area?

[meetasengupta @Meetasengupta]

@authoramish It is insane this time, I agree. Holding out and not having medicines but it's really hard on the (ageing!) body. And this is with air purifiers on. The only thing that did help was a karha (fresh ingredients of Septillin boiled for 20 mins) but then I ate fun food for Pujo!

[OECD Education @OECDEduSkills]

PISA data show that students with higher levels of family support perform better in science and have more positive learning attitudes.

Asking children about school weekly or more is linked to a 26-point boost in science.

How bad is administrative bloat in higher ed?

At MIT, the “student body has grown by 8% and its faculty by 9% since the mid-1980s. By comparison, the tally of administrators jumped by 189%.”

@sumants In Delhi, a family restaurant with no drinks, no salad, no dessert and a shared main (mega helping of course, was for 10-11ppl) was about a 1000 per person. This is zero posh all flavour. An upgraded dhaba, let's say. Some posh takes it up to 3-5k with drinks etc.
