ur foremost technology is ur nervous system / malice & bigotry transfer ur luck to ur targets / clean cognition is ur birthright, don't imprison ur own self
India needs a mass-healing event to repair all the broken egos caused systemically by our culture that mocks humans from the time they are born
No wonder everyone has serious self-esteem issues
You will never be able to think clearly if your inner self is wounded
@AN5HUP can someone pls educate me on this term honda sherni and what it means, i see it a lot in very different contexts
and why is honda being defamed, they are a well-respected japanese company and make decent vehicles
@fadednailpaint imo one can be more clever. get called out for accent? just keep it simple and say 'thank you for the note, i agree, i should keep working hard on it'. some asian cultures are trained to respond like this and i think it works well to deflect while also keeping dignity intact.
@fadednailpaint personally i wouldn't wish this situation on anyone. i will say she seemed to take it quite well, and that is commendable. we generally tend to have thin skin. and it must have taken her a lot of courage to stand in that line too
@fadednailpaint also this is not someone who is demonstrating presence of mind, awareness of the social situation she is in, none of this is giving me higher cognitive ability at all
@fadednailpaint she is likely trainable to an extent but her own cognition is closed-off & limited, which is why she does the "Come on", + repeats the point about pride in accent i don't see her in this current state as someone i would trust w more complex work. even her heuristics r off
@fadednailpaint also she had no arguments, i listened carefully
she even violated decorum, pretending to not hear him talking while talking over him. man no one likes this shi. i felt awkward just witnessing it on video. yap yap yap like a fishmarket. we can do better.
@fadednailpaint and that's exactly my point too. forget content, if u can't even speak right, u will earn ridicule. this is a universal effect. if i went and spoke japanese very poorly in front of the japenese in such an (unlikely for them) situation, i'd get giggled out of osaka
@noscreennames2@fadednailpaint common Indian tactic. felt insecure and triggered and wanting to quickly put you down bc we equate intellect w status even more than the west imo
the more there are of your kind who speak better than him, the worse he looks. if he speaks well too, then it's sabotage
@AshikSufaid@fadednailpaint unfair but true. firsthand experienced the benefits of speaking the local language better (other langs, not just english) than other expats, it extends to professional network & social circles too. Ppl warm up faster, trust u more if u speak well. E1 can achieve it w some effort.
@fadednailpaint i respect indians who want to live and work abroad. i don't like it when they make excuses for why they won't try to improve their lang skills or accent out of some misplaced pride esp when being called out for exactly that
it makes all of us look entitled, lazy, prideful
@fadednailpaint if u take urself seriously, others might confuse it with self-loathing bc they can't improve or get sharp without hating themselves ig
but if i'm standing in front of someone and taking their time (even someone like myron) i would rather make sure i have something real to say
@AkerboyaD32629@Ranjith_Raman90@AshutoshRanka@followers why are you running from the fight bro, didn't u come here to win?
i hope ur very young bc of how u sound so naive. u keep looking for flaws no one will lead for u
btw yes i did call u weirdo which i actually did lowkey feel bad in the moment about cause i prefer to be kinder
@AkerboyaD32629@Ranjith_Raman90@AshutoshRanka@followers in some places, volunteering IS in fact a form of activism, often, innocent stints get reclassified as bs bc of entire orgs or fields of public service having their reputations trashed for some political reason by some new aspiring regime
@AkerboyaD32629@Ranjith_Raman90@AshutoshRanka@followers it's very easy to pretend to be austere and to be seen living that life.
and if what ur proposing unnecessarily disqualifies a lot of people from political life or civic society then that's a bad metric.
it's like saying ppl who volunteer never enjoy any pleasures in life
HMM!!
