వ్యవస్థలు పూర్తిగా చచ్చుబడిపోతాయి కోర్టులు కాంప్రమైజ్ అయిపోయాయి ఎన్నికల సంఘం పూర్తిగా సర్కారు కీలుబొమ్మ అయిపోయింది. స్వాతంత్య్రం తర్వాత వ్యవస్థలు ఇంత అధ్వాన్న పరిస్థితికి వెళ్లింది లేదు అనేంత స్థాయి ఆవేశంలో నేను లేను. ఏది ఎలా ఉన్నా కొంతలో కొంత ఎన్నికల ప్రక్రియ ఈ దేశంలో సజావుగా సాగుతోంది అని నేను అనుకుంటున్నాను. ఎందరో హేమాహేమీలు ఎన్నికలలో ఓడిపోయారు. మొన్నటికి మొన్న కూడా అటువంటివి జరిగాయి. రోడ్లెక్కి ధర్నాలు చేసి రాస్తా రోకోలు చేసే అనార్కిస్ట్ భావజాలాన్ని కూడా నేను సమర్థించను. ఏదైనా సమస్యలు ఉంటే కోర్టులు ఇంకా ఉన్నాయి. బాగా ఆలస్యం చేసినా ఉన్నంతలో వాటి పని అవి బాగానే చేస్తున్నాయి. అన్ని పార్టీల ప్రభుత్వాలకు మొట్టికాయలు వేస్తూనే ఉన్నాయి. అవసరాన్ని బట్టి.
హద్దులన్నీ చెరిపేయండి కట్టుబాట్లను తెంచేసి సర్వ స్వతంత్రులు అవ్వండి అనే వారు జేకే రౌలింగ్ ఆడవారు మగవారు లేదా ఆడవారు ఇతరులు అన్న తేడా అనేది ఎందుకు ఉండాలో రాస్తున్న పోస్టులను చూడాలి.
ఒక రెండు దశాబ్దాల కిందట స్వేచ్ఛ ఉదారవాదం డైలాగులు బాగా పేలి ఉండచ్చు కానీ ఇప్పుడు వోక్ విశృంఖలత్వం విజృంభించిన యుగంలో అందరూ అన్ని హద్దులు కట్టుబాట్లు తెంచేసుకుందాము అని అంటే తలాడించటానికి సిద్ధంగా లేరు.

...A group of cloistered nuns in rural Pennsylvania who trace their history back to 16th-century Spain are building a sprawling monastery meant to last 1,000 years — and they’re doing it almost entirely by hand.
...There’s no electricity, heat, A/C or running water in the monastery. Under Mother’s instruction, nothing made by machine is allowed in the building’s construction. That means even the nails must be hand-forged. Luckily, they found a guy in Kentucky who makes nails.
...Other materials include Pennsylvania field stone, local timber, lime mortar, slate roof tiles, copper downspouts, and hand-made bricks from North Carolina.
...“It’s been a process. We’re bound by Mother’s dictate of authenticity,” said Vicenzino. “To do something like this from scratch we really had to dust off our old books.”
...We’re using old concepts of thermodynamics that they used to know, this wisdom from back in the old days when there was no A/C. There are traditions of radiant floor heat that have been around for millennia — the Romans, the Spanish, the Koreans

Strange use of technology.
Saw some comment from a US handle that they can do a video of Jesus speaking or George Washington speaking like this.
Possibilities are many.
Technology unlocks so many possibilities.

""...There are more than 150 stepwells in the Hyderabad ORR limits, and they are replenished through underground aquifers. Sadly, these have now become garbage dumpyards,” she told ThePrint. She added that if the stepwells built nearly 400 years ago are revived, Hyderabad’s water crisis would be down by at least 50 per cent.."
1/5: Hyderabad is facing an acute drinking water shortage. More than 330 of Telangana’s 600-plus mandals are drought-hit; only around 500 of its 6,000-plus lakes have water.
2/5: Tanker bookings in Hyderabad have surged to between 6,000 & 8,000 a day. In several areas on the city’s outskirts, drinking water is being supplied once every 3-4 days.
3/5: In a first-of-its-kind initiative for Hyderabad, the water board will launch green tanker services from 1 Nov to promote reuse of treated wastewater for non-drinking purposes.
4/5: State govt has announced fines for misuse of drinking water. First-time offenders will face fine of Rs 1,000; overflowing overhead tanks to attract penalty too.
5/5 What has caused the water crisis in Hyderabad & how did it get so bad? How are residents doing their bit to save water?

Good one by Dr.Pushpa Dixit.
Got this on a WhatsApp group.
Excellent.
Sinister plot to make Hindus feel docile and make them shrink into a shell forever.
Be non-confrontationalist and resign from questioning anything.
Let me not bother about all these happenings. Let me focus on my inner journey alone. Let me withdraw from worldly affairs etc.
All these attitudes are prevalent because of distorted interpretations of this kind!
Wow. Interesting.
314 years ago, a book of Indian medicine was shipped from the Tamil coast to Germany. It is still there.
Let us hear that story....
The place is Tharangambadi, the Tranquebar of history books, a small Danish trading colony on the Coromandel coast. A German missionary, Johann Ernst Gründler, was posted there by the Danish-Halle Mission.
He sat with an Indian scribe and a local Brahmin, and began collecting, translating and compiling the medical knowledge of the Tamil country.
The result is dated 1712. A handwritten manuscript of 186 pages, titled Medicus Malabaricus. The Malabar Doctor.
It opens with a preface, then a 19 page medical dictionary. Then 132 pages of the real thing. Diseases, their causes, their diagnosis, their treatment. Medicines, their composition, their application.
Gründler sent it home to Halle, the mission's headquarters in Germany. And there it sat, in the Francke Foundations' archive, for 3 centuries.
Only in 2021 did Halle begin a proper project to catalogue and edit it. Workshops at Germany's national science academy followed.
In 2025 it was presented at a Cambridge symposium. The work is still going on. The German archivists call it a source of "outstanding importance for the preservation of India's autochthonous cultural heritage in the history of medicine."
The medicine inside is Tamil, the sister tradition of Ayurveda. Written down with Indian hands in an Indian port, 314 years ago. Unfortunately, we have barely heard of it yet.
Source: Francke Foundations, Halle - "The Medicus Malabaricus of 1712" project. The full manuscript is digitised and readable online in their Digital Collections.
Photo 1: The very 1st leaf of the manuscript: hand-coloured deities, Ganesha on the left, the multi-armed central deity on a lotus. Torn at the fold, but gorgeous.
Photo 2: The manuscript's 1st written page, straight from the archive scan. This is what 314 years looks like.
Photo 3: A diseases chapter opening - Tamil medical terms transcribed into German script (vatham and pitham, the doshas, appear as "Wadum" and "Bittum").
Photo 4: The numbered recipes with Tamil drug names written out one by one: Tschukku (dried ginger), Tippili (long pepper), Nilawembu, Milagu (pepper). Indian medicines, numbered in German, 1712.
Grok Summary
In 1712, German missionary Johann Ernst Gründler compiled the 186-page Medicus Malabaricus manuscript in Tharangambadi (Tranquebar), India, translating Tamil medical knowledge on diseases, causes, diagnoses, treatments, and remedies with local Brahmin and scribe assistance.
The handwritten text, rooted in Tamil Siddha traditions akin to Ayurveda, features a preface, medical dictionary, and detailed recipes using Indian herbs like dried ginger and long pepper, sent to the Francke Foundations in Halle, Germany.
Digitized and under active cataloging since 2021 with academic presentations in 2025, the manuscript serves as a key preserved source of India's pre-colonial medical heritage and early Indo-European knowledge transfer.
Current era of liberalism proved to be even worse.
Anyone who defends Liberalism today without answering for how they can avoid Woke degeneration need not be taken seriously.

There is no such thing as AI being “in control” of us, because AI doesn’t know or decide anything. But there could be such a thing as a technocratic elite which, looking at AI through an ideological lens, interprets its outputs in a certain way and demands that the rest of us submit to this interpretation. The proposal that “AI should be in control” is really the proposal that this technocratic elite should be in control, albeit some are so lost in ideological delusion that they don’t see this.

We hear much of old people being bigoted in their antiquated ideas. It has always been my experience that the young are much more bigoted in their new ideas.
