Jeff Bezos on why he wants a trillion humans in the solar system
"I would love to see a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a 1,000 Mozarts and a 1,000 Einsteins"
"Our solar system would be full of life and intelligence and energy. And we can easily support a civilization that large with all of the resources in the solar system"
Here is your yearly reminder that classical Athens had roughly 50,000 male citizens and produced more dazzling minds in one place than most of humanity has produced since then.
🚨🚨In the last five years India has barely added $400 billion in nominal GDP, largely due to the sharp depreciation of the Indian rupee. Meanwhile, the UK and Germany have each added over $1 trillion.
Always, TN cities are like villages + open zoos. You see all kinds of animals roaming the roads, whether it’s a Tier-1 city or a village, and the government doesn’t seem to care. Cows cause enormous numbers of road accidents, and the same goes for stray dogs.
I don’t know why owners aren’t being fined or why stray dogs aren’t being properly controlled. They can spread rabies, which is fatal. We shouldn’t blindly incorporate First World activism, especially when India has one of the highest rabies burdens in the world. We should be ruthless about tackling this issue.
China doesn’t face a demographic crisis, it faces a demographic collapse.
Rampant youth unemployment and unaffordable real estate make it difficult for young people to start a family.

Kumbakonam Degree Coffee may soon get a GI tag.
The Tamil Nadu government has applied for Geographical Indication (GI) tags for five unique traditional food and beverage products, aiming to protect and promote the state’s rich culinary identity both at home and abroad.
The applications, filed by the Tamil Nadu Food Processing and Agri Export Promotion Corporation (TNAPEx) through the Tamil Nadu State Council for Science and Technology, include:
Kumbakonam Degree Coffee (Thanjavur) - the iconic filter coffee that locals swear by
Kodaikanal Panrimalai Coffee (Dindigul) - highland coffee with a distinctive character
Karamanikuppam Karuvadu (Cuddalore) - traditional dried fish
Nilgiri Ghee - pure, aromatic ghee from the hills
Palamedu Palkova (Madurai) – the melt in the mouth milk sweet loved across the region
A GI tag certifies that a product’s unique quality, reputation, or characteristics are deeply linked to its place of origin. Once granted, it helps prevent imitation, boosts market value, and opens doors to premium domestic and international markets directly benefiting local farmers, artisans, and producers.
Officials note that GI status can significantly expand export potential and improve livelihoods in the communities that have preserved these recipes and techniques for generations.
The states currently leading in the number of GI tags are Uttar Pradesh with 81, Tamil Nadu with 76, and Maharashtra with 55.
