Maturity is expressing agreement when you agree with someone, and staying silent when you disagree, except if you have a stake in the situation
When you express disagreement for the sake of it (like with strangers online) it must mean there is no better use of your time, which s...
There is a difference between guiding your children and forcing them. If you have to apply a force for them to do something, the problem is not with them. The problem is with you as a parent that you're not able to effectively guide them
And that is assuming you know the right d...
Anthony Fauci is practically the creator of COVID and then he is tasked with being the chief policymaker around it, locking down the entire world, millions dying in the process, many more lives destroyed, incalculable economic harm,…
Gets the biggest ever pardon from Biden going...
If I wasn't on X, I would have never known that showing your bare feet in public is considered to be extremely gross
And the same about eating with hands
Most Indians think these things are perfectly normal, and would be baffled if you suggest otherwise
Over the years, my view of Islam has gone from “Islam is bad” to becoming more nuanced
That said, the West certainly has an Islam problem. So much so that even the sane Islamist country, the UAE, acknowledges it and does not want to send students to the UK for the fear that they...
I am happy that the Cockroaches in India won because I am extremely disappointed by the ruling party about what has happened to India under them. A lesson needed to be taught to BJP
But I am no fan of the opposition, much less of the CJP. I don't know much about the CJP leader, ...
To someone who says, if we lived forever, we would be tired of life—
My counterpoint is this: We see many people who claim to be tired of life, but short of depression, we don't see people who are admittedly “tired of life” ending their lives
I do not think there is such a thin...
Finding a post-pubescent girl attractive is not pedophilia
If a man has sex with her while she is below the age of consent, it is illegal and constitutes statutory rape, but calling the man a pedophile is wrong
Imagine a manager asking an employee to pay out of pocket for a window seat on a flight to a company-sponsored event
The company is already paying for the flight, but the employee wants to choose a window seat, which costs extra, and asks to have that expense reimbursed as well
...
I want an AI to be able to compile a complete list of ALL criminals in the world with their photos, grouped by the types of crime, and analyze their skin color
I am super interested to find out what pattern emerges. They might have to ban AI after that, at least for this use cas...
Life seems meaningful because we don't think about death
It's when people take cognizance of death, that's when they say things like, life is meaningless
If one knows the day they're going to die on, that will instantly drain the meaning out of life
I will not die on this hill, but I will say that I don't believe that Andrew Tate is guilty of the crimes he's been charged with. It is clearly political
Is it possible he's guilty? Remotely, yes
But most men who are gleeful over his arrest are jealous losers finding a happy mo...
Men whose girlfriends and wives find Andrew Tate masculine and handsome are very happy right now since the Tate brothers have been arrested again
Men who instinctively hide Andrew Tate from their girlfriend or wife are very happy right now since the date brothers have been start...
There is no virtue in knowing to do tasks that AI can handle
Like there is no virtue in managing physical file cabinets when a computer can manage all files much better
Not using AI as your first draft writer or editor isn’t very smart tbh
This is my writing method:
1. Have a back and forth voice discussion/debate with AI to clarify my thoughts
2. Ask it to write a draft in my tone using my clarified points
3. Edit where it has used words an...
It is a form of narcissism to refuse to productively participate in the system that makes your existence possible
For example, the spiritual “gurus” who sit under a tree are narcissists. Because if everybody sat under a tree and did not do anything else, they would all be eaten ...
If somebody does not trust you, for anything, it is never right to call it their mistake. An intelligent and self-aware person would take that as an opportunity to introspect as to why
If somebody does not trust you, it often says more about you than about them
I noticed that many people in my company have sloppy photos as their display pictures on Microsoft Teams
I’ve been using a professional headshot, of course, that I had made with ChatGPT a year ago. People who don’t have a sense of aesthetics or the drive to improve anything at a...
For liberals in America, it's hard to find meaning because they don't believe in God. They don't believe in family. They don't want to have kids. So, in a way they are anti-humanity and human flourishing
When life is so empty, it is very easy to *assign* meaning to such people. ...
A personal reminder
If you just keep learning new skills, but you're not increasing your income in the same proportion, then you're just having fun
Nothing meaningful is being achieved
Chewing saunf (fennel seeds) after a meal to freshen your mouth has the added benefit of helping clear food debris from your teeth
But coating it with or mixing it with sugar, as is common in many Indian homes and restaurants, is such a retarded idea
It wreaks havoc on your tee...
As a novice vibecoder, Deepseek V4 Flash is my sweet spot for cost and effectiveness. I am grateful for it
Also, grateful for ClinePass at $10/month making me feel like I am never going to run out of tokens with this model while getting the job done reasonably well
Life is amaz...
“Human progress is any change that increases humanity’s capacity to flourish and endure over time”
If we agree with this definition of progress, then can the societal changes that contribute to the reduction of population (economic growth resulting in lower birth rates) to the e...
If you’re looking at Trump without the context of the harm the left and the Democrats are doing to America, your understanding of Trump is severely incomplete
Most non-Americans commenting on Trump are not even remotely aware of how the American left is corroding and slowly kill...
I’m following some people on X whose views I agree with about half the time. I disagree with the other half of the views they post, many of which I would have dismissed outright in the past. If it weren’t for the 50% I agree with, I probably wouldn’t have kept following them
I’v...
