Storm is swirling but at the center of all that chaos is calmness. Nature is the best teacher, you can rage on and yet find peace in your heart. Beautiful duality.

learn that this is a very very bad strategy.

Sometimes, you have to initiate a fight with bullies just to let them know you have an irrational side. The fear of being hurt has to be overcome. It is no different with nations.

Also serves as a sobering reminder that when most defence systems becoming increasingly automated leading to minimal or no human intervention, what will shield the world from errors? There are no perfect systems.

In this day and age where nuclear warheads are paraded around like a showpiece, it is important to remember them, to remember Stanislav Petrov day.

learn restraint & logical thinking in face of pressure, above all exercising caution. Nuclear weapons are never the right choice.

Stanislav Petrov (left) and Vasili Arkhipov (right)
On October 27, 1962, and on September 26, 1983 (the day I was born), they were separately responsible for preventing nuclear war because they practiced skepticism and humanism.
Fellas, thanks for everything, literally.

1/ To those who say "COVID is harmless for children."

Besides some deaths (e.g. 500+ children died of COVID in US in 2020), there is #LongCOVID. See this & next study:

"English study finds long COVID affects up to 1 in 7 children months after infection"

Kerala is discussing reopening of schools, please proceed with utmost caution.

Even in US where children aged 12-18 are getting vaccinated, school reopening has not gone well.

We don't know the effect of long covid among kids.Don't play with their lives.

[Prof Jane Munro @DrJaneMunro]

It’s good covid is generally mild in kids. I agree with this.
Only about 1% need admission. Agree.
But I have an evolving and serious concern about covid in kids.
A thread
It is mainly just down to maths.
And going back to the precautionary principle

Last year I was worried about losing colleagues to Covid, but this year I am terrified of losing my students. This past week alone, over 243,000 children have tested positive in the US. The lack of health and safety measures in our schools is disgraceful.
Do better, America.

Breach of an Individual's right to privacy is a crime. Those who do it are criminals.
Some people have no sense of respect. Understand the boundaries and do not cross them.

[Sherbir Panag 🇮🇳 @Sherbir]

This is disgusting @IndiaToday and @aroonpurie. Barring a breach of privacy and hence being illegal, this is plain and simple indecent. Forget new lows of journalism, the channel’s conduct is abhorrent.

[Ros Atkins @BBCRosAtkins]

The booster programmes being brought in by the UK and other countries, mean some will get their third COVID jab before many in the developing world get their first. We've looked at the ethics of boosters.

@IndiaToday 👎 I dont blame the news reader who had to read this but the staff who wrote and approved to air this, take a long hard look in the mirror, creeps.

Very important point, keep your nose outta other people's life,spend no time gossiping, explore and broaden your horizons, otherwise you will be like a euglena living in a Petri dish.

Farmers say; Our agitation will continue till farm laws are repealed & separate law on minimum support price is enacted.
It has been 4 long months since protest began but still the govt. seems unaffected & merciless.
Why such enmity with the farmers??
