If you’re easily outraged, You can be easily manipulated!

The Fact that you need to be born in Privilege or be insanely successful to experience this

Let me give you examples... You see, when the sun gets too hot, Earth makes more clouds to cool herself down, more like pulling up a blanket. Even fungi under the ground chat with each other in giant networks, sharing news about water and food across whole forests. After big disasters (like when the supposed giant asteroid hit long ago), Earth slowly fixed everything. New plants grew, oceans cleaned up, and new animals appeared. She remembered how to stay just right for life. And when people make too much smoke, parts of Earth (like forests and oceans) try to suck it up and balance things again. . . . So some scientists are saying this teamwork makes Earth act intelligent. Not thinking like you or me with words, but smart like a whole planet that senses problems, remembers, and fixes herself to keep all her living beings safe and happyyy . . . ✍️ Vincent the Therapist

Warren Beatty could do everything: write, direct, act- you name it. This guy is one of the most driven/passionate humans I’ve ever seen come through Hollywood. He wasn’t the most prolific artist, but when he focused on a project, such as Heaven Can Wait, he repeatedly made magic.

ok so the rosie story was even more insane than it looked > be the australian tech guy who made a cancer vaccine for his dog > first try: genetic algorithms to design a new drug from scratch > works in simulation but would take years to test > second try: screen 1 million existing compounds against the mutation > two weeks of computation. find a perfect match > it's patented > patent holder says no to compassionate use > what_did_you_expect.jpg > spend two weeks just being with the dog > 2am idea: what if i just make a vaccine > chatgpt for pipeline, gemini for construct, grok for validation > 300 gigabytes of raw sequencing data to half a page of vaccine construct > university ethics approval would take until mid-2026 > dog doesn't have that long > panik > canine cancer expert connects him to a lab in queensland with existing approval > drive 14 hours to get there > inject > three weeks later the tumors swell. immune system swarming > six weeks later shrinking > two months later legs returning to normal > one mass doesn't respond > sequence it again > different cancer. the vaccine worked. the body grew a new tumor he's now building a company so every dog owner can do this he had the technology the whole time. he spent 18 months fighting for permission to use it

Honestly, the right time to read Crime and Punishment is when you’re already having a mild existential and morality crisis… so Raskolnikov can make it worse in a productive way.

craziest UPSC fact? - We select a Diplomat, a Police Chief, a Tax Enforcer, and a District Magistrate from the exact same exam pool. Trying to run a 21st-century aspiring superpower using a 19th-century colonial clerical selection method isn't rational at all. Generalist era must end immediately, and how to fix it: 👇 1. Problem: Selecting police chiefs based on essay-writing often creates officers who might freeze in encounters or buckle under local mafia pressure. Fix: Separate IPS recruitment completely into an NDA/CDS-style model. Induct a certain % after 12th for a multi- year tactical academy, funnelling the top performers into R&AW/IB. 2. Problem: Foreign Service is packed with IAS rejects who lack the ruthless temperament for statecraft and coast through embassies without mastering geopolitics. Fix: Institute a standalone IFS exam requiring a mandatory background in International Relations. We need strategic sharks, not accidental diplomats. 3. Problem: We currently rely on literature and history graduates to audit complex corporate tax evasions and track sophisticated global shell companies. Fix: Structurally bifurcate the IRS. Reserve at least >50% of the intake strictly for Chartered Accountants, quantitative economists, and forensic finance experts. 4. Problem: India is squandering its demographic dividend by letting millions of youth waste their prime 20s rote-learning archaic syllabus points in coaching hubs. Fix: Cap maximum attempts strictly to 3/4 and slash the upper age limit to 26/27. The State needs young, dynamic minds, not exhausted 30-year-olds. 5. Problem: Absolute constitutional job security breeds unchecked complacency. Once selected, bureaucrats know they are virtually untouchable regardless of output. Fix: Scale up lateral entry to inject private-sector efficiency, and introduce a fire-at-non-performance policy to weed out non-performing deadweight officers. You cannot test a fish, a lion, and an eagle using a tree-climbing exam. It is time to replace the generalist CSE with specialised, domain-specific recruitment routes.

all filmmakers are politically Hitlerian. to tell a person what to do, with any authority, is intrinsically fascist. the sole exceptions to this are Clint Eastwood (two takes; doesn’t say action but “ok…when you’re ready”) and…I dunno… Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

In The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor goes to hell, Alyosha goes to church, Ivan debates God, Mitya goes to prison, and the reader has an existential crisis and becomes indecisive about whether to go to therapy after 800 pages.

when Dostoevsky said: “Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.”

“His Only Friend” (1871) by Briton Riviere

Watched #Dhurandhar2‌TheRevenge. Calling it propaganda, doesn’t do justice to this movie. It is a sophisticated psy-op. Aditya Dhar includes sequences(demonetization) that are openly aligned with BJP. Dhurandhar uses Modi as a bait. The usual suspects couldn’t resist the bait , and jumped to dismisss it as lazy propaganda - as expected. They sensed “victory” and amplified it, as expected. That’s how they were sucked into the chakravyuh. Then the phase 2 started. It leverages 2 psychological phenomena 1. Cunningham’s law 2. Generation effect Cunningham’s law - the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question, but to post a wrong answer. This is because people aren’t motivated to search for truth, but they love to correct other people’s mistakes. People tend to remember what they unearth, better than what is fed to them. This is called Generation Effect (as the conclusion is “generated” from their own mind). The viewers think “wait, is that real ? Let me search about it”. They ask “why are the critics only talking about what he said about Modi /DeMo ? What about the ruling government of the time ?” That’s the chakravyuh pulling them in harder. Deep within this chakravyuh (or rabbit hole if you will) is the kill -shot : Congress era NatSec debacles. Gen Z which has the attention span of a gold fish gets hooked by a 3+ hour long bait. They then seek to debunk it for the thrill of proving something wrong. They set off on a truth-seeking adventure, they find Congress era rage fuel instead. They are shocked. Sadly for the INDI folks, Dhurandhar might ideologically salt the young minds. Dhurandhar didn’t seek to feed lies. It tricked people into searching for truth. It’s the ultimate anti-propaganda.

At this point, why not? Put the controller down and step up.

Your visual cortex burns 44% of your brain's energy budget. Turning off the lights in the shower is the fastest way to slash that load to near zero. Your brain is 2% of your body weight but burns 20% of your total energy. Visual processing alone eats almost half of that. Every photon hitting your retina triggers a cascade of neural signaling that demands oxygen, glucose, and ATP at rates higher than almost any other cognitive function. When you kill the lights, you're removing the single largest energy load on your cortex. That freed-up metabolic capacity gets reallocated. This is where it gets interesting. A 2022 study from the Laureate Institute for Brain Research measured what happens when you strip sensory input from anxious patients. High-frequency heart rate variability, the gold standard marker of parasympathetic activation, increased significantly compared to controls. Blood pressure dropped. Breathing rate fell. The nervous system shifted from sympathetic dominance to parasympathetic mode within minutes. The warm water adds a second mechanism. Core body temperature rises during the shower. When you step out, temperature drops rapidly. That cooling signal triggers melatonin production and primes the circadian system for sleep. Layer darkness on top: no photons suppressing melatonin through the retinal ganglion cells, no blue-light signaling to the suprachiasmatic nucleus that it's still daytime. The shower is doing three things simultaneously. Reducing cortical energy demand by eliminating visual input. Activating the parasympathetic nervous system through sensory reduction. Triggering thermoregulatory sleep signaling through the heat-then-cool cycle. A $0 float tank that takes 10 minutes.

BC our Milk Trucks are not this clean 😭

Land of Ravan has more conscience than Ram Rajya!

Kashi and its inhabitants are immune from any destruction due to any calamity/ultimate प्रलय. Its an assurance that Vishwanath has himself given to the inhabitants of this city. प्रलय की समय भी दुबेगी न काशी, हमे आश्वासन मिला है ये प्रलयंकर से

The place where the modern day Kaal Bhairava temple stands was the site where Brahma's 5th head finally dropped off from Vishwanath Mahadev's hand (Bhairava form) - freeing him of the sin of chopping Brahma's head. The only place in the entire creation where Shiva got freed from the baggage. Vishwanath then came walking down south towards Ganga and finally got one with this land, where now Bibi Razia mosque (original Kashi Vishweshwar destroyed by Qutub-udin-Aibak in 1194 CE).
