In the intricate dance of life, we fancy ourselves the choreographers of our fate; all the while, we often resemble lab rats, like unwitting subjects in a grand experiment by big tech, corporations, and government,
No more constant tic or an itch to scratch. No more looking out for affirmations, no more sizing up for conformity. My freedom awaits. If anything, deep work or Zettelkasten collect me. Publish nor consume not scattered, but something profound. Let today mark a change. I quit.
People have started living for digital affirmations.
In a sense, the way we experience a day, an event or a moment by moment has fundamentally altered and structured now by a subconscious need to attract digital affirmation.
People throughout history have been bewildered by their own existence, the life around them, and how things work - like night and day, the weather, and the seasons. To fill these gaps in human understanding, we created tales and mysticism.
People have always wanted their lives to be cinematic; that is why, when our minds wander, we fantasize. Now, the ability to enhance photos, create cinematic reels, and share exaggerated information has taken over the world due to social media.
Why "Reservation is a failed policy"?
When the SC list was made in 1950, it had only 607 castes. Today it has around 1200 castes. So when untouchability was already banned, then someone should explain where these extra 600+ castes came from inside the SC list.
Similarly, the ST list earlier had 241 tribes. Now it has become 744. And the OBC list started with around 3000 castes, and now it is 5000+.
So where are all these castes coming from? Is it becoming like a race to be called backward? Are we all becoming more backward with time?

If in so many years you cannot move even one caste forward, then it means the policy has failed proving that

Donβt believe in AI. It has its own set of problems. But if you apply critical thinking, you can use AI to compound or expedite learning without distortion.
AI is seeing patterns where there is no real fit at all. And with utterly emergent confirmation bias. It has the potential or is almost certain to distort usersβ perceptions. A new kind of personal influencer in the making. Crazy revelation.
Establishing IITs and Higher Educational Institutions should not be seen as a post-independence achievement. Instead, making primary and secondary education equally accessible to everyone should have been priority. Fact - quality and equal is still not accessible -is a root evil.
Reservation through segregation and structurally confined discrimination is not equality. Now is the right time to fight against reservation and abolish the segregation (caste system) in India.
Inside the law, I see discrimination and bias. Outside the law, I see discrimination from both sides: from upper to lower driven by privilege, and from lower to upper under the protective shield of the law.
