This question was asked to me on Quora Hindi  'How can science systems be strengthened to be better prepared to deal with future global crises?'  I understand that firstly, we have to define what the future global crises and what the scientific systems are in a nutshell. People should have an essential understanding of Maslow's pyramid. With the ever-expanding population, the first thing we all are running out of is essential resources. Humans need to survive, and survival in civilisation exists on the cornerstone of essential psychological needs. As Maslow depicted, biological requirements will always be essential for human survival. I will theorise that with the increasing population, even in a distant future of the next 100 years, we will have a shortage of food, water, clean air, shelter, sleep, and clothing. Poverty is a man-made phenomenon that helps the elite and people in power dictate who and whom should be in power and control. Essential food will be provided to s...

Note: If you have not watched the Toy Story movie series, this article is not for you. I don’t know how closely you have watched Toy Story, but for me, it was the first animation movie that detached me from reality for almost a couple of weeks. In my defence, I was a young kid, so it happens. The first Toy Story came out in 1995, and from that point onward, it has gathered a very loyal following and a fan base. There is Woody, a cowboy doll owned by Andy, a very sweet kid with lots of imagination. So, in a nutshell, you have to watch the movie at least the first one to literally understand the idea of this article.

They talk, think, and literally ride a very intense human-like emotional roller coaster. Okay, so let’s set up a timeline first. In Toy Story 2, we find out Woody used to have his own vintage television show called Woody's Roundup. He was on even Yo-Yo, kids...

Death is so satisfying that even though I know that I don’t know how I will be reacting to it, I still demand it. It’s like a constant struggle with it—I know it’s there, and I know it’s not my time yet, but I ask for it to take me. I’ve read somewhere that the intense emotion of dying is the first sign of true intellectualism, but for me, it’s not about being intellectual. For me, it’s about the point where I just collapse and cease to exist. I sigh for the moments, sometimes wondering how beautiful it’s going to be. Existence is complex, it demands effort, but death is just uniquely linear. It came in the form of disease, famine, drought, war, and even from error—human or natural—yet the linearity is in the end goal. No matter what the process is, eventually, you will just die. Even if you know you live like a king or peasant, fool or thinker, beggar or rich, insensitive or empathetic, even if not consciously deep somewhere you know someday you will die. As a kid, I used to think tha...
