The surgeon analogy holds for medicine because lives are directly at stake with zero margin for error. History is different..Carl L. Becker, a major 20th century American historian & Cornell professor argued in his famous address 'Everyman His Own Historian' (1932) that history isn't an elite, credential-gated field.....'Everyman knows some history... we say that so and so knows no history, when we mean no more than that he failed to pass the examinations set for a higher degree... academic convention has its uses, but it is one of the superficial accretions that must be stripped off...' Perhaps you will easily agree that politics, entrepreneurship, etc are other domains where credentials have little value... Practical impact and evidence often outweigh formal stamps. In short, debate Sai Deepak's claims on its merit

If credentials is nonsense, go for a complicated surgery to a self taught Doctor. Regarding Sai Deepak, u can’t debate someone who confidently says “In Diwali we burst crackers to light up sky so our ancestors who came down during Pitru Paksha can find their way back to heaven”
Sridhar Vembu@svembu

This is stupid credentialist nonsense. Debate Sai Deepak if you have the IQ. Sai Deepak makes the compelling argument that leftist agenda driven historians have systematically lied about our history and his argument must be debated on its merits. People who flaunt paper credentials like a shield are useless. I will never bow to anyone's academic credentials nor will I ever flaunt mine.

here's a counter to the counter to the counter - Agriculture's productivity gains slashed farmer jobs because farmland is inherently fixed, there is only so much arable land to go around. Software , on the other hand is infinitely expandable. No physical limits - it is all ideas, data, and code. As AI increases programmer productivity, it will likely lead to an explosion of new applications, platforms, and entire ecosystems. More efficiency means more innovation, more demand, and ultimately more jobs for engineers tackling bigger, bolder challenges. I am basing this on Peter Drucker who had a prophetic argument for knowledge work ...." History shows these productivity leaps expand economies, creating net job growth rather than loss"

The #Dhuroxic clash ( good framing !) is perhaps the modern battlefield for a debate that's raged for over 2,400 years: form vs content. Plato warned that seductive style (form) distracts from truth and corrupts the soul. Aristotle countered that well-crafted form serves deeper content—catharsis, insight, human truth. This isn't just two films colliding—it's philosophy battle at the box office. Hoping this time content finally thrives. Let relatable humans beat bulletproof gods.#Dhuroxic
Ram Gopal Varma@RGVzoomin

. #Dhuroxic on March 19th will be the ultimate clash between ultra realistic cinema and ultra unrealistic cinema D is built on cause , leading to effect and consequence. It reveals that violence has moral, psychological, and political foundations. The Characters act because they must, not because they will look cool. Believes the audience is intelligent whereas In T Style precedes logic. Violence exists to display attitude, not necessity. T assumes the audience wants stimulation, not emotional engagement like D D respects grim reality. T sells fantasy dressed as seriousness. D unsettles T tries to impress D’s Protagonist is human He can fail, misjudge, bleed, age His power is limited and contextual T’s Protagonist is born bulletproof The story bends backwards to protect his “ultra cool factor” The world exists to worship him D speaks in silence. T shouts D Camera behaves like a witness  Frames are observational  Editing respects time, geography and narrative T Camera behaves like a master  Slow motion bloats reality  Editing manufactures non existent intensity #Dhuroxic on March 19th will answer many questions Will the @AdityaDharFilms #Dhurandhar audience go back to still root for the same dark hero walking in slow motion? Will Smoking in slow motion still equal depth of character? Will Violence be still fine just for the sake of spectacle? Watching #Dhuroxic side by side on march 19 th will be like being inside a war zone versus next to a fashion shoot. One is cinema that cuts into flesh. The other is cinema that poses for the camera . #Dhuroxic won’t be just another clash it’ll be a collision between truth and styling. And possibly something bigger. #Dhuroxic could mark the beginning of the end of hero worship ushered in by the pan India biggies from the south #Dhuroxic can be a defining moment in cinema where the audience stop becoming devotees , and scoff at bulletproof masculinity proving that they no longer want gods , but only relatable humans OR IT CAN BE VICE VERSA..THAT ONLY GOD and AUDIENCE WILL KNOW Let’s find out on MARCH 19 th the #Dhuroxic JUDGEMENT DAY

Wake up, Kerala! We seem to be copying Venezuela's case—bad politics and corruption there wrecked the economy and forced over 7 million people to run away, leaving the country empty and broken. Here at home, it's already starting - this year around 4 lakh kids took Class 10 exams but only about 3 lakh joined Class 1—a big drop over 10 years ... fewer children or families leaving kerala? Now look at the 2023 Migration Survey - a shocking 4,82,683 Malayalees moved to other states in one year... Dear Malayalees, let us open our eyes to this serious problem… then think about what we can do before it's too late! #KeralaExodus

Contrary to the author's claims quick commerce prices are typically higher than those at traditional Kirana stores and yet customers willingly pay this premium to avoid maintaining home inventories, effectively running a just-in-time system that optimizes their personal resources and time. And far from exploitation quick commerce generates a win-win scenario employing lakhs of gig workers in flexible and humane environments where they can earn nearly rs 1000 per day for a 9 hour shift , far surpassing many alternatives in India's competitive labor market

शिक्षित बेरोज़गार@kaul_vivek

Get your Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand right: Zomato, Blinkit and Swiggy aren’t free-market capitalism Illustration @MANJULtoons After being called a Marxist and a leftist for criticising India’s quick-commerce giants, I respond in the only way I know – by going back to first principles. By any honest capitalist test, the neighbourhood kirana store owner – bearing real risk without venture capital crutches – looks far more like the entrepreneur Rand and Friedman admired than the likes of Deepinder Goyal. Whether one views this through the lens of Milton Friedman or through the basic logic of markets, the conclusion is the same: this is not a triumph of productivity, but a triumph of extraction. In Ayn Rand’s world, “Atlas” is the entrepreneur who carries the weight of value creation on his shoulders. In the world Goyal has built, the real “Atlas” is a 26-year-old on a scooter, carrying a bag of groceries he is paid too little to deliver, for a company that has yet to earn a real profit, funded by investors betting that when the music stops, they will be the last ones standing and holding the prize.

This exemplifies the profit-and-loss mechanism at work: companies invest in dark stores and logistics not through subsidies but by betting on long-term profitability, while losses signal adjustments, and profits reward successful risk-taking by private owners. Far from exploitation, quick commerce generates a win-win scenario, employing lakhs of gig workers in flexible, humane environments where they can earn nearly Rs 1,000 per day for a 9-hour shift, far surpassing many alternatives in India's competitive labor market. The author's invocation of Ayn Rand ignores how these platforms embody her heroic entrepreneurs, solving real problems like time scarcity for willing customers without relying on coerced labor or state intervention.

This is not pragmatism, but intellectual quackery dressed as wisdom. Pretending we already know the golden ratio of socialism to capitalism without ever defining or defending it is just another way to smuggle in your preferred policies while shutting down anyone who dares question. If everything must be judged "case by case using data," then economics depts should be shut . Real pragmatists debate principles too—they don't just wave them away and crown themselves the enlightened middle.

It’s pointless to debate about these terms, there is no one proven system that works all the time. Even the most capitalist country in the world today has elements of socialism and the most socialist country has elements of capitalism. There is no country in the world which is purely capitalist or purely socialist. Instead of blindly trusting theoretical concepts, we should evaluate and debate exact policies on a case by case basis using data and track record. That’s the way to uplift the nation.

The real minimum wage is ₹0. It is called unemployment. Millions of people in India are unemployed. In many small towns and cities, guys in their early 20s leave their houses on a bike, loiter around all day, drink and smoke with their friends and gamble on cellphone games. Countless families are struggling with this - financial burden + social ills. Quick commerce tech-companies have created jobs for lakhs of such people. None of them are forced to work with these companies. They are free to leave and do something else. But they decided to earn a respectful living. More than the national average, more than ₹0. They believe - for the skill they possess, effort that is required, and money they make - this job is better than any other job available in the market. Every person has the right to make that choice for their career. Just like the one you have made with your current job. GoodPeople™ are always free to create better jobs. Talk is cheap. Till then, the wages these 'evil' and 'exploitative' capitalists provide, will help them pay their children's school fees, and buy groceries for the month. Their life is better with this job, than it was, without it.

He is making millions only because of the hard work of a ‘Small number of miscreants’. The piece of shit who calls his own labor partners miscreants when they ask for humanitarian treatment. This is not a ‘good captialism’ or ‘bad capitalism issue’. This is humanity vs. barbarism and Goyal is standing for barbarism.

Deepinder Goyal@deepigoyal

Zomato and Blinkit delivered at a record pace yesterday, unaffected by calls for strikes that many of us heard over the past few days. Support from local law enforcement helped keep the small number of miscreants in check, enabling 4.5 lakh+ delivery partners across both platforms to deliver more than 75 lakh orders (all-time high) to over 63 lakh customers during the day. This happened without any additional incentives for delivery partners - NYE does see higher incentives than usual days and yesterday was no different than the past NYE days. I am grateful to local authorities across the country and to our teams on the ground for clear enforcement and swift coordination. Most importantly, thank you to our delivery partners who showed up despite intimidation, stood their ground, and chose honest work and progress. One thought for everyone: if a system were fundamentally unfair, it would not consistently attract and retain so many people who choose to work within it. Please don’t get swept up by narratives pushed by vested interests. The gig economy is one of India’s largest organised job creation engines, and its real impact will compound over time, when delivery partners’ children, supported by stable incomes and education, enter the workforce and help transform our country at scale.

Gig work offers significant advantages in the contemporary labor market. First, it provides on-demand employment opportunities with very low skill requirements. Platforms enable rapid matching of workers to tasks, allowing individuals to begin earning with minimal barriers or training. Second, it affords substantial flexibility, permitting participation in multiple seasonal activities, including agricultural work. This adaptability echoes historical practices: in the early 20th century, during the rise of mass manufacturing at companies like Ford and General Motors, many workers were seasonal migrants who alternated between farming and assembly line operations to meet varying labor demands. Third, gig work is age-agnostic, accessible to young entrants, mid-career individuals balancing other commitments, and older workers seeking supplemental income or continued engagement. Fourth, in many service-oriented gigs, workers receive tips in addition to base compensation from platforms or clients, providing an incremental income boost tied directly to performance and customer satisfaction. These attributes collectively enhance economic accessibility and personal autonomy for a broad range of participants.#Gig #FlexibleWork

Deepinder, what I am really curious about is do we really need 10 minute deliveries in our chaotic urban conditions unless for medical emergencies? Would 30 minutes or 1 hour delivery (without so much pressure and need for speed) be the end of the world? @deepigoyal

In the wake of the recent conversations on gig worker (failed) strike across India, it's time to push back against the narrative that gig work is inherently exploitative or harmful to society. As someone who believes in the power of markets to create opportunities, here's my take on why gig work—especially in quick commerce and delivery—is a massive net positive for India. First, the claim that gig work stifles innovation or pulls talent away from "core" fields like engineering? Look at China: over 200 million gig workers (more than 25% of the workforce), yet they're dominating in tech—leading in EVs, AI patents, and 5G. If gig jobs really hurt innovation, China wouldn't be outpacing everyone in R&D and startups. In India, with ~15 million gig workers growing fast, these roles use basic skills like riding a two-wheeler, leaving engineers free for high-tech work. It's not zero-sum—it's expanding opportunities. Second, when customers happily pay extra (₹20-50 more) for 10-minute deliveries, that's a beautiful win-win. They're sharing their surplus with workers willing to hustle. In chaotic urban India, this isn't laziness—it's smart time management. Big shoutout to customers for directly supporting those on the ground. Third, gig work gives unmatched flexibility to millions who need jobs now. With skills as accessible as driving a bike, people can pick their hours, earn ₹20-40k/month, and avoid rigid 9-5 traps. It's real employment on demand, empowering students, part-timers, and anyone entering the workforce. Fourth, the "unsafe driving" argument? Stats show two-wheelers (including delivery guys) are mostly victims, not culprits—trucks and cars cause the bulk of fatal crashes involving bikes. Delivery platforms report super low accident rates per km traveled, often better than general roads. The real issue is India's traffic chaos, not gig workers meeting customer demand. Fifth, it all comes down to value: if people are willing to pay for instant groceries or meds, who are we to say it's "unnecessary"? Fast delivery creates real utility—let individuals decide what's worth it. Sixth, for the first time ever, India's middle class is loosening the purse strings on conveniences like home delivery. And why not? They crunch the numbers: paying a bit extra beats wasting 30-60 minutes battling traffic, parking nightmares, and errands in cities like Mumbai or Delhi. It's progress—rising incomes meeting smarter choices. Seventh, those premium payments are directly creating millions of decent-paying jobs. Customers paying more for speed and convenience means platforms can sustain good earnings for workers, lifting people above poverty lines in a country where formal jobs are scarce. Gig work isn't perfect, but it's a genuine ladder in India's economy. Instead of fighting it, let's make it safer and better for everyone involved. What do you think?

In a state like Kerala, where jobs remain unfilled due to acute labor shortages and hence heavily depend on ~40 lakh migrant workers, what's the relevance of clinging to a locals-only employment guarantee under old MGNREGA—or any other. Kind of comedy, if not for the massive resource drain it imposes. #MGNREGA #VBGRAMG

Your hypothesis is worth exploring. countries with CPI ( corruption perception index score) scores close to India's 38, like Brazil (34, 19.3 homicides per 100,000) and South Africa (41, 45.5), we see higher murder rates compared to India's low figure. On the other hand, Bangladesh (CPI 23, 2.3 homicides) aligns closely with India despite a lower corruption score. This suggests that other cultural, social, or structural elements are likely playing a central role

India has one of the lowest Murder rates. What’s the reason? 1) Is it due to its Hindu majority? But Bangladesh has a similar rate. 2) Maybe due to no Gang violence. (Top contributor to murder) But Gangs exist here too. I think the top reason is Corruption. You don’t need to kill someone to extract money. Once money is extracted, it gets distributed to all the bad faith actors. And no one has to use force.

Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.
