With LLMs one good thing is that lot of good education content and learning experiences can be manufactured at low costs. But ironically so many more people now confuse pedagogy with engagement (like animation etc). Combine this with an explosion of information excess which its consumers themselves confuse with learning.

The purpose of productivity books/podcasts is to quell the guilt of being unproductive in the past with the dream of being productive in the future, productivity itself doesn't enter the equation, because the answer would be to start by closing the book/turning off the podcast
It's not that their previous generations who have celebrated Diwali did not feast or party in the festivities. And the same reality continues to take over even in the pockets of tier 2 or below youth culture.
One of the problems in the all-pervasive modern culture is that people do not want to put human effort in anything that doesn't lead to either personal well-being (like with hobbies or fitness) or material benefits (like with business or profession). Festivals are fundamentally meant for participation for the sake of tradition, that is, for the sake of itself.
Donations which is substitution of time with money, performative online activism pretending to care about the future of aliens and contentification of daily lives for dopamine rush are some of the coping techniques adopted by the cohort in question to avoid drowning in the guilt of narcissism.
Secondly, migrating to an industry-hub like BLR or any other city for work clashes with fundamental human tendency of humans being oikophiles (gravitate towards a habitat), it is hard to recreate warmth artificially. Fragmented individuals patching together their plans can only lead to a regular party as taking up more elaborate actions for a festival requires being located in a predictable stable community.
thanks for triggering a rant🫠
i am lowkey sad in the fact that most of the diwali parties being hosted in bangalore are more "daru parties" than "diwali parties" but then again, who can you blame, people just want to have fun and blow off steam?
but somewhere in there we have lost the way we used to celebrate our festivals when we were kids, and sometimes reminiscing about that makes you go to a warm and happy place that is nowhere to be found these days.
Only people who have neither read lot of text nor read lot of numbers can manage to read statistics in this visual format. It's like some cheap slide work on a sasta steroid.
Har school me ek do ladkiyan hoti hain jinka hero banne ka sapna hota hai. Par unko aata jata kuch nahi hai, aise hi lambe chaude bhashan de kar unko lagta hai ki bahut samajhdar hain. Is desh me student age par thoda socially confident ho jana hi leadership ki nishani ban jati hai. Leftism ka jeher aise logon ko attract karta hai kyunki leftism inko daily level par bakwas karne ke liye dher sara content de deta hai.
Bhai you literally run a content studio. Chahe kitni bhi technology advancement kar lo, billion dollars tak market cap pahucha do, content studio to content studio hi rahega. Not that I'm fan of any individual, par apni aukat dekh kar bat karni chahie thodi, especially while taking moral high ground.
Even if hating on a particular political leader is your full time job, you don't need to appear mentally retarded.
These propaganda machines have become weaker, their lack of subtlety and guile is unlike what the vile leftists take pride in. My bet is that there is a human resource shortage of skilled young radicals. Anyway, the world is not ready for another French export, may you guys manufacture, consume internally and get eternally liberated.
Kuch logo ki alag ek duniya hai jisme pata nahi kis prajati ke log loved aur supported hain, jinse normal duniya ke 10 logon ko bhi ghanta farq nahi padta🤣
Content depth, variety, breadth and presentability all seem to be improved from the state & ruling party media. Is it a coincidence or some active intervention, not sure. But when fighting against those who treat reality as optional, it's an essential game to have.

Dhoni seriously gets the more random shouts. Players he has never played with, teams he has no connection with, in random game happening years after his retirement. And none of these name drops have anything to do with his stats or personal achievements but rather how a little piece of his advice, monitoring him on field or just being around him in the dressing room has changed the way they view the sport and has helped them better their own game and all these are coming from actual professionals on their highest days. Nobody comes close to this man.
Most end-customer businesses need to be tech-exploiters and not tech-inventors. Because customers pay for service and not for tech. Of course this doesn't mean tech-exploits are easy or do not require innovation.
However problem with bring great at serial tech-exploits is that exploits need to be limited to an area of human activity one understands. A food service business understands food service, so its default thinking will always be to apply the tech-exploits in food service optimisation.
Now, most new age founders have been raised in either social network, content streaming or physical-to-digital workflow abstraction (including marketplaces). Either literally by having worked in such firms or at least psychologically (by consuming downstream content generated from such places). So their base instinct (pun intended) is to apply the current tech-exploits in similar use cases. As that is the area of human activity they best understand.
Not that above areas cannot be further transformed/optimised, but generally odds of applying new tech-exploits to newer areas has higher odds of success. That's why I feel VCs/govt should back those who are expanding the horizon to areas like human capital & urban living etc.
People severely underestimate the fundamental change the combination of smartphone and mobile application brought in a vast majority of human life.
That is why they expect a much more powerful & complex technology to do something more profound & radical with the average human life. But those two are not the same things. Nature of technology is different and it cannot be brute-forced to create a similar impact.
