@kavita_anand Because s/he has been conditioned to believe that there's a right answer to every question and s/he is supposed to know that answer

@kavita_anand If that's true, then it's a hopeless situation :(

This reply to a question towards the end of the great philosopher’s life is definitely worth two minutes of your time.

Happy Republic Day.

And long thread alert!

I'm here by an accident of birth, but I love this country, & to love something is to want to know it better. Doing The Seen and the Unseen over these 4 years has taught me *so much* about India.

Here are a few eps I learnt from. 1/n

Humility and skepticism are the same idea: humility is about assessing how much you know, skepticism is about judging how much other people know.

In both cases, the goal is to stay on the sweet spot, as too much or too little of either will cause trouble.

Indian education has been broken for 73 years.

The humanitarian cost of this is incalculable.

What are the root causes of this failure? How can we fix it?

I always liked the cartoon on the left, and turns out it works just as well as a depiction of how skepticism works. Fine-tuning your skepticism meter is a key thinking skill. Learning goes quickest when you nail the skepticism sweet spot (between gullibility and cynicism).

Thrilling

See what happens when a woman diver notices a hook stuck in a shark’s mouth and decides to risk her life and help the shark untangle. See how many more sharks come and how they all express their love & gratitude to her. It begs the query - Have you done a good deed today ?
