Read C.S. Lewis's book: THE ABOLITION OF MAN a while back, pinned some ideas and got in my monk mode. Here is some part of my essay on Medium titled "C.S. Lewis, Ibn Qayyim and Modern Man" https://t.co/ICSuMaxMKC

@oldfriend99@NidaKirmani Nah, I don't mean how to use it in a copy paste manner or how to use tools. One has to intelligently select the pieces of info most relevant to the work. Or more importantly what to neglect. Research on them over n over again (bvz most times Gpt is making up stuff)
Saw a patient today with a hemoglobin of 1.9 g/dL. For context, a level that low is almost incompatible with normal consciousness, but she walked right into the clinic on her own feet.
For three long years, she lived with crushing weakness and since last 6 months breathlessness from just walking across a room. Why didn’t she get help sooner? At first, it was because the kids had crucial school exams and later her husband was reluctant to deal with the hassle of a hospital admission.
Her health was treated as a background inconvenience.
When we dug deeper, it got worse. A year ago, her Hb was 6.4 g/dL. A doctor explicitly told them she needed immediate admission. The family refused, walked out with a basic strip of iron tablets, she took them for two weeks, forgot about them, and nobody in the house ever bothered to check on her or remind her.
She didn't even come to the hospital today because of the air hunger. She came because her periods had completely stopped for months. Her body was so profoundly starved of iron and oxygen that it literally shut down her reproductive axis just to divert what little blood she had left to her heart and brain.
It’s completely heartbreaking. A woman will literally bleed her body dry, gasp for air for years and keep working silently, only to be brought to a doctor when her normal functioning stops.
Please check on the women in your homes. Stop letting them normalize chronic exhaustion.
It took me some time to understand the theory of Wahdat ul Wajood. Due to Arabi's difficult and almost paradoxical writing style, scholars have diverse explanations of what Arabi really meant in Fusus al Hikam.
Kindly check my youtube explainer on it:

Just IN:— “Islamabad Accord"
A deal between US and Iran has been finalized, mediated by Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir. Announcement will be made in few hours.
The world of morality and ethics has been falling apart before our eyes, especially over the last few years. Those who are able to exploit international norms, basic ethical values, and human decency, without any guilt, do not hesitate to do so, using multiple means. One such is:

Modi-Xi bilateral at #SCOSummit2025 has ended with no result.
When heads of two nations with 2.8 billion people meet they don't discuss nitty gritty at the time when transformational changes are underway in the world. This is the job of officials.
While briefing is awaited, it is clear that India is unwilling to be part of the new world order taking shape at rapid pace. Modi government with its zero sum mindset wants to remain with the old world order which is in total disarray.
A totally wasted opportunity!
