Thank you Vivian for being outspoken on Palestinian Lives Matter, as past President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. The murder of an autistic Palestinian man by Israeli police, who suspected he was a terrorist, deserves an apology and an enquiry vashtimedia.com/2020/07/17/i…

Movies like Hanuman Ansh are one reason superstition and a backward mindset persist in Indian society.
The film glorifies so called miracles of Lakshman Narayan Sharma, aka Neem Karoli Baba, that lack reliable historical evidence.
The story of him travelling without a ticket, being thrown off a train and then stopping it sounds absurd and is not backed by railway records.
It's high time to speak out against such misleading movies that pull society backward, not toward the future. We need change, not traditional garbage.

NYC banning AI in schools is exactly the kind of thing I want to see. Keep the teachers. Keep the books. Let kids actually learn how to think, write, and solve problems instead of outsourcing everything to AI. Education should make kids smarter, not more dependent.

I stand behind the belief that personal automobiles make people more conservative because you both A) don’t get exposed enough to your fellow citizens and learn to live in a society and B) learn to hate other people because they only act as congestion that slows you down

If you read a lot and educate yourself in humanities and social sciences, you are more likely to turn left, seen as a threat by uneducated people blindly driven by the interests of capitalists, and called "dimagi naxal".
This kind of anti-intellectualism remind me of a section of boys in college who called names to anyone who worked hard.
Educate yourself and read widely: that's the most patriotic thing to do in the current era.

In a sane world, automation would pave the way for true abundance and even a post-scarcity society, where humanity could truly flourish.
But in our world, all it does is create unemployment, widen the wealth gap, and pave the way for a police-state.

In Finland, charging fees for tuition is illegal, which means rich kids have to mix with normal kids. That means rich families had to make sure the schools their children attended were good, which in turn prompted the wealthy to invest in public education.
Finland, take a bow.
