Live and Prosper

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...

Historically Speaking

Image
Every civilisation or geographically identified people go through certain phases of civilizational evolution. There needs to be an old history of being nomadic. A few nomads settle and become tribes. Tribes fight for control over geography and resources. A few stable or remaining tribes become political entities of some kind for structural leadership and later evolve to be small governed entities and communities. Then they go through the Iron Age, Bronze Age, and begin to identify geographically. Evolution happens with advancements in technology, agriculture, and societal values (unified morals, ethics, etc.) since agriculture allowed for more stable living conditions, leading to population growth and slow or maybe infinitesimal but a constant technological advancement (e.g. writing, metallurgy, architecture, art, martial art) laid the cornerstones for more complex governance systems. We're not going deep into an anthropological discussion, but hear me out. At certain points, this ...

Echelon of Gifted Nightmares

Image
Gift of genius is haunting. It haunts the man who possesses it. It makes them suffer, immeasurable existential crisis that creates nightmares. Walking and multiplying nightmares. Imagine you can see everything yet you can do nothing about it because no one is doing anything about anything. In an abnormal society, genius is so unorthodox, unwanted, and undesirable that true genius wants to cease to be original and normal so he can become normal among the abnormal so the abnormal can identify him as normal. How paradoxical it is that one wants to be abnormal to be called normal. Like a philosopher who taunt and degrades society for not being philosophically profound yet forgets that the layman who has no ability to understand ontology, metaphysics, and the nature of reality, that layman himself is the reason for the philosopher's own survival. Layman doesn’t want to understand philosophical elements because this knowledge breaks the framework of his social structure. Philosophy is a ...

Certainties via Probabilities

Image
Does science achieve statistical probabilities, not certainties? Well, I think that, like all the other questions asked about natural sciences, life science, and philosophy, there isn’t a very straightforward answer to this question. Knowing about particles' momentum and position is not a certainty; it’s a probability . [1] But if you compare an electron with an M777 Howitzer shell, you can know precisely where it will hit, given you have done a fantastic amount of calculations on drag, air resistance, wind, barrel length, shell weight, and type of propellant [2] . There are so many variables [3] , and the more variables you add, the more probable it is that the certainty of your answer eventually shifts towards a probable answer . It does not mean the laws of classical mechanics don’t work; it simply means that statistical probabilities override certainties in a complex world like ours. Knowing something with certainty is as relative as the depth of the question. If you ask...

"The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" Simplified(Hindi)

यह लेख एक एक कठिन दार्शनिक पुस्तक का सरलीकरण है। जो आप इस लेख में पढ़ेंगे और जो आप मूल पुस्तक में पढ़ेंगे उस भाषा और Analogy में जमीन आसमान का फर्क मिलेगा क्योकि यह लेख किताब की मेरी व्यक्तिगत समझ है। जितने भी उदाहरण आप नीचे पढ़ेंगे वह सब मैंने मेरी समझ के आधार पर लिखे गए है। किताब में इन सब का कोई जिक्र नहीं है। मेरा प्रयास है की इससे पहले आप किताब पड़े अगर यह लेख  पढ़ लेते है तो आपको पुस्तक समझने में बहुत सहायता मिलेगी। - m.दिनेश ----------------------------------------  द स्ट्रक्चर ऑफ साइंटिफिक रेवोल्यूशन्स को थॉमस कुहन( Thomas S. Kuhn ) ने लिखा है। क्या लिखा है इस किताब में ? देखिए अगर आपका बैकग्राउंड S.T.E.M. नहीं है और उसमे भी आप ने कभी दर्शन, समाजशास्त्र और अन्य Interdisciplinary क्षेत्र की कोई किताब कभी नहीं पढ़ी है तो यह किताब आपके लिए नहीं है। अगर आपकी विज्ञान और उसके दर्शन में अत्यंत रूचि है, आपने दर्शन और समाजशास्त्र पढ़ा है और आप के पास पुस्तके पढ़ने की कला है तो यह किताब बिना STEM से होते हुए भी आपके लिए है। किताब की भाषा जटिल है क्योकि जैसा मैंने कहा यह STEM म...

Opinions are very specific to the situation, circumstances, affairs, or condition etc.     - m.Dinesh ---------------------------- I cannot do small talk. Conversations stimulate my mind, and this is why I tend to have longer conversations on a single or interdisciplinary topic or anything that is engaging. This by default makes me the worst individual to have small talk. Conversation helps me know more about you, your ideas that you subscribe to, and lets me know more about people, their behavior, their intellect, ideas, core principles, and philosophy that you understand, which reveals your personality as a human being. Conversations on a range of topics assist you in making a clear assessment of the person. Through this assessment, you can decipher even the silence of an individual. You can know if th...

इस देश का IQ कोई एक दिन में ही नहीं गिरा है! कलेक्टिव एफर्ट है ये पोलिटिकल फिगर्स का, तथाकथित राइट विंग इनफ्लूएंसर और वो चाय की टपरी स्तरीय पॉडकास्ट को दिन भर आपके दिमाग में बस अंग्रेजो द्वारा मिलावट की गई, मुल्लों और आक्रान्तियों द्वारा जला दी गई और लेफ्ट द्वारा छुपा दी गई उस पौराणिक विद्या और ज्ञान की बकवास भरते रहे है जिसपर आपको गर्व करना चाहिए। भले ही उस ज्ञान और विद्या से आपने पिछले 500 सालो में कुछ नहीं उखाड़ा है और पिछले 1000 सालो से आप उस ज्ञान के कारण ही गुलाम रहे और 1200 सालों पहले से उसी ज्ञान की वजह से आपका सैद्धांतिक और सामाजिक पतन होना शुरू हो गया हो पर आप बस उसपर गर्व करते रहे। आप कुछ नहीं करे! कोई शोध नहीं, कोई खोज नहीं, कोई रिसर्च नहीं, कोई नया कारनामा नहीं क्योकि आप बस ऊपर गर्व करे और आपका यही गर्व पर्याप्त है आपको विश्व गुरु बनाने के लिए भले ही आपका सामाजिक ढांचा किसी विष गुरु अर्थात Poison Master जैसा क्यों ना हो जाये। इस देश को IIT में इंजीनियरिंग पढ़ने की कोई जरुरत नहीं है। समाज वैसे भी सीमित संसाधनों में कुछ काम का बना देने वाले को जुगाड़ी की उपाधि दे देता है और उस ...
