Life, Society, Technology: 🧵 1. On Things that really matter in Life !

Can we for gods sake ban such young ppl to tell the world how the society should be run? And the comments of similar folks is even amazing. They have literally zero understanding how human brain develops and think ChatGPT’ing it will short circuit its learning

What ppl and most investors still aren’t getting it. B2B AI is not where you want to invest. It’s done. All AI Labs will eat that oppty The pivot to consumer AI can’t come happen so fast. Most VCs will rush to invest in consumer

Jensen: I'll buy everybody, let me be 1st World's No. 1 CEO Jensen Huang at a Taiwan night market, too lazy to wait in line, pays to skip ahead The female citizen involved: I originally thought, just like that, I'd say hi through his bodyguard... Didn't expect him to walk right up to me, buy fast pass with a thousand yuan bill... and then, happily score a grilled corn cob😂

Julius Caesar was so deeply in debt in his 30s that his creditors tried to stop him from leaving Rome. He left anyway, went to Spain, conquered it, and came back rich and powerful. Yes, you can start all over again.

State of Society right now. As Technology keeps seeping more into Society, one day it just Snaps!

We just attacked Iran in self defense The jokes write themselves

@dpinsen @clo4c5 @arthabazaar @rmadhaw007 @vssvijayssharma @bubbleboi India was poor when Europeans came. Now you are blocked. Get the fuck out.

@dpinsen @clo4c5 @arthabazaar @rmadhaw007 @vssvijayssharma @bubbleboi If you have bullshit opinions to talk and not facts then no surprise why you got blocked. Your racist ass will not change history. And it won’t get you a job also because you keep thinking you deserve a job with zero skills. Don’t reply again as I will block too

@letsbuildmore @clo4c5 @arthabazaar @rmadhaw007 @vssvijayssharma I can't reply to you guys in the original thread, because @bubbleboi blocked me for asking that question, but claims about how big India's economy was centuries ago, have little meaning. Most GDP back then was agriculture, so having a big GDP just meant India had a large population and was able to feed it. I wish India the best, but progress requires honesty. If the Vedas really include advanced science and technology, you should figure out how India got derailed from being the world's most technologically advanced society; if they don't, then you can borrow from other cultures' advances, as the Japanese did in the 19th Century.

Touché.

@dpinsen @bubbleboi Also India wasn’t poor. Until 15th century it was one of the richest country in the world. Reason why everyone was going there to trade including Columbus who was going to India and accidentally landed in America

@dpinsen @bubbleboi This is because of their culture. The Hindu culture believes in belonging to the world. You are the cosmos. While it’s great it leads to ppl not having an identity tied to a nation or region. This becomes easy for foreign power to invade

I’ve been reading the Vedas a lot recently, and what’s stood out is how it doubles as an encyclopedia as well as a religious text. Astronomy, medicine, mathematics, metallurgy, linguistics, are all woven through hymns and rituals as one body of knowledge. Simply calling it “religious” forces it into a Western category that didn’t have the apparatus to recognize what it actually was. It’s closer to a tradition of formalized epistemology in which metaphysics, observation, and language form one continuous inquiry, which as a result led Indian civilization to develop along a fundamentally different path because of it. You can see the effect most clearly in the sciences. Around 600 BCE, the Vedic record describes a surgical procedure that matches modern rhinoplasty and is still foundational to reconstructive surgery today. Centuries before Western Europe stopped treating eclipses as supernatural, Indian scholars had calculated the circumference of the earth within 0.2% and explained eclipses as shadows. Centuries before Plato and Aristotle rejected atomism, the Vedic tradition already held that matter is composed of indivisible particles combining into binary and triatomic compounds, transformable by heat. The first formal rules for zero and negative arithmetic appear in the Vedas, along with infinite-series derivations of π, sine, and cosine centuries before Newton and Leibniz. The interesting question is how did they get so much right, so early? My best guess is language. The Vedic tradition is unique compared to other oral traditions as it demanded letter-perfect oral transmission across generations. Around 500 BCE, scholars composed a generative grammar of Sanskrit called Panini so rigorous it anticipates Backus-Naur form, the notation that defines programming languages today, by 2,500 years. Sanskrit is recursive, rule-based, and built to minimize ambiguity. It reads more like mathematics than English. When you think in a language built like that, the precision of the language becomes the precision of your reasoning. The West didn’t formalize this until much later. Kant argued our categories of understanding shape what we can know, Wittgenstein wrote that the limits of language are the limits of one’s world, and Kripke showed that naming doesn’t just describe things, it constitutes what they mean and how we can reason about them. All three touch the same insight which is that thought is downstream of language. The Vedic tradition operated on that insight thousands of years earlier. To the point that they built a whole language first and used it to think clearly about everything else after. I find that all really fascinating.

@HankShedwrecker why didn't you do that then? Instead of shitting on someone who is actually running some business, your loser life is to beg Twitter for money on ur rage baiting stuff so u can pay your rent.

This is a real video, not from any movie. In Vietnam war, when a bridge was destroyed by US Air Force and Vietnamese soldiers had to escape, women made this temporary bridge to cross and stood in water for hours. No way you can win a people’s war.

My deepest care and prayers for anyone fighting for their loved ones.

I pray u experience this at least once in your life.

Completely novice advice w/o understanding of behavior. The reality is opposite happens If a man leads with consistency, clarity and predictability he starts losing attraction in women’s eyes as he becomes “boring” Most women chase unpredictability in men. A curiosity
