My FB thoughts on society, politics and culture. No point cutting short on your only power in a democracy. I've tried to maintain a respectful tone despite popular belief and propaganda. If it feels like pelting stones on your cemented ideas of social reality, it is not my fault. In the democracies I live, people pelt stones on other people and the places they build. I'm being a good guy here writing words that may evoke feelings of stone pelting in your mind for your mind. Hope you get a few points in what I'm trying to say.
1) The veil of democracy is as powerful as the veil of maya to even think that arguments are going to help. The only thing that works with many people is power,not just the power to do things, also the power to destroy obstacles. Democracies exist only for name sake just like societies. Beyond a point safety and security, it all breaks down to individuals and small groups. The system of governance seems to be immaterial if you have good, fair, empowering and rewarding leadership. Democracy is better in the only sense that when leadership is oppressive, exploitative, deceptive, unjust and violent, it gives people a little opportunity to change that without many going through the guillotine. It has its negative consequences when all these can be done under the cloak of goodness. People value and clamor for democracy b'coz they found out most of leadership is bad in moral terms if such a thing called morality exists. It exists for most people when immorality translates to enormous pain.
1-a) In a monarchy, the chance for people feeling empowered is much higher as it takes only one good leader to rise to the top. But in a democracy, the probability is much lower as many good leaders need to rise simultaneously. It is a very rare event as democracies are split into multiple parties. The more parties there are, the lower the chances people will feel empowered because of leadership. So people living in democracies solely depend on something called rights to protect themselves from royal abuse and exploitation of their democratic leaders so that they can do the small things. When rights are violated, they pretty much live the lives of slaves. All talk of civilization and justice is nonsensical blabber for them.

2) When people from different worlds meet odd creatures, they seem to have certain characteristic response. If the odd creatures are from the third world, the fellow third world creatures get suspicious. "Hey! you too are from the same third world I'm from, how come you know this,huh? .. Don't act like as if you are born and brought up in London."...The first world creatures go, "i don't know if these third worlds have some secret underground facilities where they grow such strange creatures.They are not planning to take over the world from their little cabins, are they?"...Well, the odd creatures may be from a place that is stuck between second and third worlds, but they do have access to remote viewing first world activities and sometimes experience those activities first hand over decades....
Disclaimer: I believe all countries are a mix of first,second and third worlds in different fractions.
3) Why do I see a lot of Indian articles talking about racism? Do you feel oppressed by white skinned people or what? How about the rich brown b******* who probably earned their wealth through criminal means and are perpetuating slavery?....Brown people don't have servants and slaves right and these guys treat their servants and slaves like Maha Rajah right......Corrupt slave drivers are doing a drama elsewhere about racism...Brown, white or black, sick b's do exist....
4) Begging seems to be the predominant form of human relationship...Children beg to their parents for food and money, they beg their way to college and beg their parents for more fancy stuff if they have money. Then they beg their employers for money...Business folks beg their customers 'buy this, buy this' and act like lords to other lesser beggars...Lovers beg to each other for emotional security and bliss.... People beg to each other for respect....Politicians beg for votes and once they get power , they make people beg to them for almost everything....People as a whole beg to this earth for everything and now they control the begging process, so they think they are the lords.....Beggars to varying degrees to delusion...The more power you have the more deceptive the begging is...Beggars in the end....
5) My course on research ethics course points to an alternate world right here on earth,with in closed walls, where people fight over changing an 'a' to 'e' in some graph, while rest of the world that lives, grows and spawns in the world of lies argues that there was never an 'a' in the first place since the beginning of time and not sure whether 'e' exists at all. Such is the nature of life on earth.
6) What is a community for? I recently met a physician who was confident that with a strong community of supporters and media on their side, they can escape from the justice apparatus (cranky, 10th century machine comes to mind) and so causally violate every principle of justice. Can only imagine how confident the political leaders are in such a system.
7) Classical Indian, Greek, Chinese and European thoughts have all recognized the relationship between the moral universe and the flourishing of the earth. Given that most leaders people remember over ages have in some form been healers of factions, do we need a program like Planetary Medicine for leaders in the future. Planetary Medicine?
8) Even though I live in the US of A, it feels like I'm carrying the dead weight of India on my shoulders where ever I go. It is as if somebody sold 10-50 m3 of every bit of space surrounding me to some Indians without my permission and consent (like they sell Taj Mahal or something) ...Oops..You grow correspondingly depending to the nature of the enemies you fight...Some clever people have picked the most lame ones so that even if I overcome I remain stupid...Wicked ploy revealed..the freedom from the fight and the only thing that comes out if any fight (growing strong) were taken away...
9) I'm tending towards the view that courts of justice have turned into museums/ceremonial architectural marvels with big-cloaked men doing the religious ritual of sacrificing scapegoats for big money to appease the Lords with deep pockets. Any end in sight to the domination of advanced techno-monkeys?
10) Even though I'm not at all interested in marriage or romantic relations now I need to make this statement as I'm terribly upset with certain political elements playing match makers based on caste and their own preferences...Is there some kind of eugenics involved in caste specific marriage? Caste used to be related to work..Same caste marriage was favored for similar work habits and similar family profile (income, work ethics,etc)....But now all work is open to most people and there is not much difference in terms of some habits...The problem with inter-caste marriage may come between people if they have not transcended their caste specific attitudes towards other people and are so attached to their specific customs that they will force others...But otherwise forcing people, if they want to marry into other castes, into same caste marriage has some kind of superiority argument to it...These people believe it has to do with unique genetics based on birth...So they are essentially arguing for eugenics which is generally considered immoral.....Hope you all question the assumptions you have about this and make a decision for yourself... I don't think we need municipality leaders supervising caste based marriage.....India use to be shy about bringing out such things in its land to the outside world... National leaders use to be diplomatic and restrict these guys to their regions...Now they are becoming more open in this regard thanks to all the racism around the world...World has only 10-20 races to fight with...India again beat the world in this and has 100s of them...
11) I have reasons to think justice/rights don't exist for the majority of people.When I say that, people tend to argue otherwise saying that judges.lawyers and huge courts are working hard to provide justice... Yeah, but that is like arguing for the existence of God by showing all the huge places of worship, high priests, all the rituals and saying these people are working hard to show you God...Nobody buys that either....May be justice exists for the powerful rich and the lucky, but that exclusiveness makes you question if it is actually justice they have or some kind of privilege...May be that is why people say you need to work hard to see god or get justice, b'coz it is so rare and only a few get to see such great stuff...People have almost accepted that such things exist mostly through arguments,inference and rare sightings of their existence...But to experience justice,rights or god seems to be a very rare thing indeed....
12) Do you guys like the $10 god project? There are some really powerful, genius groups who can give you god potential by activating a switch somewhere in a secret place in the body...The groups have the remote switch and out of generosity are doing this god project for a very cheap price....What more can people ask for? Please contact them and become a god in 2 hours....Best Wishes...The only rule is you need to find the group yourself....
13) Justice for the powerful goes scapegoat by scapegoat I guess....Existence surrounded by a fort of scape goats seemingly has its practical value....Now countries with excellent scapegoat breeding and training programs are getting recognition all around the world....
14) Once upon a time, people believed that the scientific process begins with observation followed by hypothesizing and testing of hypothesis. From these tests, people inferred conclusions about the hypothesis. Now the scientific process starts with getting funding from an institution/advisor with PhD and several years of research experience. If you don't have a PhD and post-doc experience, you are incapable of observing, thinking and drawing inferences about the world you see....Such is the story of evolution of the scientific process....
15) Are the scientists ready to accept defeat in their contest for the title as the vanguards of truth? Did you feel anger towards me reading that message or did you laugh it out or both? How does it feel to experience joy and rage at th e same moment? This is just the spark of what I'm feeling every minute of my life over the past several years....I'm glad I'm still writing messages...
16) Yep, if scientists, scholars, philosophers and artists don't stand up for some truth, we have no reason to believe any of this is even valid in the supposed best form of governance...among all factions these people like to concern themselves with truth....if they don't I can close shop and work in a restaurant with the ever present smell of good food....
17) It is strange how scientists easily come under political influence just like any body else....How there is a pressure on them to silence the odd fellows ?...Fields like neuroscience and psychology have made great strides in understanding the brain and mind by looking at the odd fellows....Sometimes it is a disability and at other times it is something positive....I'll stop this line of argument only when scientists publicly accept that they are not propounding truths about the universe from their pure citadel and are as much under duress like their religious colleagues.....
18) Seems like self-confidence operates at the individual, community, national and global levels....Sometimes the lack of it or excess of it leads to excessive pride and a constant need for validation from others that they are great...Wonder why so many individuals, communities (in India- castes) and nations are caught in this mental trap....
19) Heard some political parties are sponsoring students for higher education, the criteria seems to be that they need to be good enough and obey the mandates of their leaders blindly...and everything else will be taken care of like God father style.......Now is all happening in foreign universities I believe...politics starts early in school for these unfortunate souls who seem to be brain washed into believing every word their party leaders say....Way to go....
20) Carrying this cybernetic crown of thorns for years takes its toll... You just want to communicate something to real people at least knowing that some real person will read what you have to say before you drop asleep another day..I use to get headaches often (possibly due to other reasons too), when I was in India, seeing the stuff happening there and feeling helpless about it. Thought I'll escape to paradise to grow and strengthen myself to the remote possibility of facing similar situations later in life....Thought America was all about personal freedom, rights and space to be yourself. But things are not that easy anywhere i guess....
