The most consequential wars of today are informational, and the so-called keyboard warriors are the real fighters who actually change culture and the fate of the world
The reason why fair skin is objectively more attractive than darker skin is the same as the reason why one would prefer a hotel room with white bedsheets over brown ones
This is not supposed to offend anybody. This is simply the objective reality
India won’t be a developed country no matter how much tax money the government collects and spends—because it doesn’t have the people it takes to be a developed country
Most interactions between men and women are just about getting laid, if subconsciously. And no, I’m not saying this as a criticism. One has to understand this biological wiring, and then let it be
Don’t believe me?
Notice how your voluntary interactions with unknown people ...
Investing in SpaceX is a no-brainer
Elon-haters are losers and suckers. The opportunity of a lifetime is staring at them in the eyes, and screaming in their ears
Elon, with a track record of a superhuman, is appearing every day announcing his plans for the company
And ye...
I was against reservation
Then recently I heard a compelling argument, that you can’t talk about ending reservation without also talking about ending the cast-based discrimination (CBD) that is so deeply ingrained in Indian culture
Over the last few months, I have thought a...
Remember the word ‘jugaad’ that Indians proudly flaunt? It literally means a solution without putting in the work, often at a cost someone else bears
It's in the culture!
The best explanation that I’ve come up with for why some people (myself included) like the slightly burned taste in food is that, in the evolutionary past, our ancestors used to cook food over fire, which would have given it that taste
Fifth wave feminism is about killing babies. I thought it would stop at late term abortions, which is grotesque enough
But the bottom is lower

Women are naturally docile to the man they respect and admire, and ruthless beyond one's imagination to the men they don't
And I don't say this as a criticism of women. I love women
This impression that women are emotionally mature comes from the observation that men are intellectually oriented and women are emotionally oriented
Now, while exercising more intellect is good, exercising more emotions is not necessarily so, especially in the broader context
...
There are stages to understanding women
A man starts out idolizing women. Then when he first understands the true nature of women, he’s disillusioned and starts hating them
But maturity is to accept women for the mess they are, because in the grand scheme of things, their flaws...
Not sure if AI will replace humans, but one thing AI will do is make humans realize that they are no different than AI
Humans are also created in the same way we are creating AI
We live in a simulation
Ego is not the enemy. Ego is the very life force. It is ego that makes you want to wake up and do anything at all
It is ego that makes you do good things. It’s ego that makes you do bad things. Ego does not need to be eliminated. Ego needs to be channelized. It needs to be used ...
A wannabe pretend alpha man thinks that he should have full access to his wife's phone, but his wife should not have access to his phone
A real mature man gets access to his wife's phone unasked, and never feels the need to check it, and does not care that the wife has access to...
Bro, if you do not have access to your wife's phone (and of course, she to your phone), not after asking for it, but naturally…
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news…
People who post pictures of the Mumbai skyline and compare it to that of the first world countries or China, miss to show the ground infrastructure and more importantly the people
Countries are not made up of skylines. When you look at the ground and the people, India sucks. It'...
I don't hate Indian Muslims any more than I hate Indian Hindus. But if you say the world as a whole does not have a Muslim problem, boy, I'm not with you
Even the sane Muslim countries like UAE do acknowledge the Muslim problem. They don't want to send their children to the UK f...
I love and value women so much that I even empathize with feminists, despite hating feminism
There are aspects of feminism that have been necessary, but largely, it has been a disaster, even for women. And yet, I would not dismiss a woman simply because she’s a feminist
But the...
For the last five years, I've been wearing the hat of a scrum master, closely working with my company's software development team
Prior to taking on this job, I used to think that software developers would be very smart because writing code requires one to be logical
But I have...
I did not have strong opinion about abortion. But Charlie Kirk changed my mind. And now I do believe that abortion is murder
Should it be criminalized? I still don't think so. But should it be celebrated? Only if you are a demon
If you consistently find yourself supporting underdogs, that's a sign that you are an underdog yourself, if subconsciously
And this causation can be reversed too. Change who you associate with, to change who you are. Associate with strength and winners only
Screw underdogs
In the not too distant future, you will be able to feed your favorite novel to an AI movie generator as a prompt and get a movie created
And those movies will be better than anything that humans have created
If you are able to extract more work from your people by being an asshole to them, you are not working with conscientious people
Conscientious people give more when treated with respect
If you've only ever eaten vegetarian food, you don’t know what true satiety feels like
What is more grim is that you've not experienced your body and mind operating at its full potential
A smoker may be doing less harm to their body than you are doing to yourself by being veget...
I would prefer a country where a flood looks like a river and not like a sewage, like it does in India
Now one could argue that it does look like a river, because that’s how Indian rivers are

There is a reason why Indian parents would not let their kid work in McDonald's, whereas it's very normal in the US
When I went to the US, I was surprised to see that in a three-star hotel, the toilet cleaner used the same coffee machine to drink coffee from that the guests were...
A kaamwaali comes to the house, sweeps and mops the floors, spends about 20 to 30 minutes there, and leaves. During that time, the house members are watching TV or doing something insignificant
There is nothing about sweeping or mopping that the family cannot do themselves. But ...
