Godel's theorems might be the most important and misunderstood result in the history of logic and mathematical philosophy. This modern text (published in 2020) is the very best exposition of Godel's thinking.
Covers first order logic, incompleteness/completeness, and ZFC.

Excellent video essay by Helen Pluckrose on the rise of regressive left, apart from the annoying background music.

As Isaiah Berlin once wrote, “foxes” are people who know many little things, and “hedgehogs” are people who know one big thing.
But the internet rewards “magpies" - people who know nothing yet maintain a beautiful nest of ideas that aren’t theirs.

Foxes and hedgehogs - yet another procrustean bed in the form of a false dichotomy

The harshness of the Indian summer and the way it changed every aspect of our life was described in such a vivid way by the great Banabhatta (7th. C) in his text हर्षचरित. It's one of the most graphic descriptions of Indian summer in Sanskrit literature.

That B-grade 90's Hindi movie where everyone from the cops, MLAs, doctors, judges, mafia, etc. are corrupt & controlled by the rich criminal villain.
His spoilt kids openly commit crimes without fear!
But only till the climax.
Then his empire is ruined, guilty are punished and justice is served!
Hoping and waiting for the fair, just and right "The End"

Nehru, Edwina, and Lord Mountbatten’s love triangle wasn’t just juicy gossip—it also distracted from governing a newly independent India. Who knew love letters could lead to lousy policies?

Wing Luke Museum staff stage walkout over fight against antisemitism: mynorthwest.com/3961119/rantz-… | I've studied this stuff for a looong while now, and I still can't understand this kind of rabid hatred - particularly from those not of the region.
I remember a history professor warn me some 20 years ago - if you can't understand human weaknesses, this might not be the best field for you. I can only hope that I'm plodding on respectably

I doubt @jsaideepak meant literal comparison as evident in the video but the vile rhetoric against TB in TN had actual policy consequences. By raising reservation quota aggressively, TBs were denied economic opportunity since they relied heavily on jobs coupled with demonization.

हजारों मुसलमान हर दिन अपना ओबीसी सर्टिफिकेट बनाने के लिए जाति का कॉलम भर रहे हैं और आप कहते हैं कि मुसलमानों में जाति नहीं है! शादी ब्याह सब उनका जाति देखकर होता है. दिल्ली की जामा मस्जिद में किसी भारतीय मूल के अंसारी या कुरैशी का इमाम बन पाना असंभव है. उनमें भी पुजारी वाद है.
सच्चे ओबीसी कभी सांप्रदायिक नहीं हो सकते. वे अपने हक की बात करते हैं. हम मुसलमानों के धार्मिक आरक्षण के कांग्रेसी मॉडल के सख्त विरोधी हैं.
पर ओबीसी को धार्मिक कटेगरी नहीं मानते. ओबीसी के अंदर सभी धर्मों के लोग हैं. यही संविधान, मंडल कमीशन और कर्पूरी फॉर्मूले की व्यवस्था है

Nice piece by S. Aiyar in Sunday edition of the @timesofindia. Echoes arguments in our book Breaking the Mold: One of the greatest economic success stories of India in recent years has been rise of Global Capability Centers employing 3.2 million & exporting over US$ 100 billion (without much govt action).

@gurcharandas in his book India grows in the dark has attributed the growth in services to a lack of government intervention and we lag in goods for which most industrial policies are created.

GCCs has been a big success story no down, expecially its role in helping India cover its CAD (Current Account Deficit). However Indian needs to generate millions of blue collar jobs for which Manufacturing has to play a big role.

India's elite are essentially undemocratic. For decades they continued the "raj" over the natives, in their ivory towers and the bureaucracy and the courts, their foreign-funded NGOs and the Lutyen's media cocktail circuit. These were the ones in Sonia's NAC.

Upper Castes in Indian universities, both teaching and non-teaching staff, get privileges and respect solely because of their caste surnames, no matter how they are dumb, inefficient & inhuman. Their networks are primarily caste networks, their merit is their caste.

Actually Sanghi implies an intolerant, cowardly, violent lot who are chauvinistic, casteist and ignorant to the utter core. We’ll take darbari no problem, Sanghi.

Well said. These are casteist idiots in every community who see caste in everything.
As Veer Savarkar and Mahakavi Bharathi recommended - widespread inter caste marriages is perhaps the solution.
