Hindu traditional ecosystem seems to have given in to some unacknowledged oath to proactively "other" the feminine. Like the commitment is so strong that they are successfully alienating sympathetic voices too. The blindspots they have need an academic study. Really.

For researchers, professors, scientists, or anyone working with GIS data in India --> this thread is for you. I spent 4-5 years working with Indian geospatial data, and something was missing. Here's what I built and why. yashveeeeeer.github.io/india-geodata/

@jogandharayana I'm pretty sure it's from the Ashvamedha verses, which are infamous for being vulgar

The birth rate collapse is simple. We are guarded from death in nearly every meaningful way. The less of an effect death produces on those still living, the less we seek its antidote, which is new life. Death is shielded from us both in fact and appearance. Very few young people die. And when they do we are told to “go to therapy” rather than to “go forth and multiply.” Or when death is real the physical suffering is often eliminated with sedatives. Public executions would fix the birth rate problem overnight. The more we experience shocking death the more we crave new life. This zombie-like way of life we have convinced ourselves is superior is ironically the one thing that is killing us.

I can control your balance I made a device that sends DC current through my head to stimulate my vestibular nerve (called galvanic vestibular stimulation or GVS) and, in doing so, can make me feel completely destabilised. By changing the direction of the current, it can make me fall in that direction. Hook that up to keyboard controls or a joystick, and suddenly you could have your own remote control human. Naturally, my first thought was man I wanna play trackmania with this. What else should I do? I do not have enough self-preservation, clearly lol #gvs #technology #science #trackmania

When I meet someone who is well read & has good grasp on many disciplines, almost every time, common denominator is early exposure to books/ideas. Lower mid class families suppress casual reading. The circle of mediocrity continues if you don't actively try to cultivate your mind

pallas also recorded that the traders refused to eat meat/fish, which was baffling to the locals in a region where the volga provided endless sturgeon & the steppes provided mutton. the multani traders were famous for making their own yogurt & sweets. pallas was particularly impressed by their cleanliness, noting that they bathed in the freezing volga river every morning, even in the brutal russian winter before performing their pujas.

@JSRGN2 @em_umoh @nonregemesse i would recommend the book by meenakshi jain if you’re really interested in this matter. fun fact, i was a defender of empire in bengal on these very grounds until i did my own research and understood the complex history of this practice.

@viniyoga @em_umoh @nonregemesse By what modern historians? Indian marxists and anticolonialists with an axe to grind? The events really happened and played out, I care nothing for your revisionist, culturally marxist lies.

@JSRGN2 @em_umoh @nonregemesse you used the word marxists. i’m not one. non-partisan historians, & even the ones from either side of the aisle, even if begrudgingly, have begun to shift their theories regarding sati: how it actually played out in history versus what was reported by colonial authorities.
