Here is a life changing advice:

Could Our Idea of Reality Be Totally Upside Down? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0_720pPXOg

For those downvoting me, awesome! I deserve it, since I was making a tongue in cheek comment.

Here is a recent video on Nushell 0.32 features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqYxhJKblvY

Is it possible that American competitive interests are not aligned with countries or individuals that know too much?

For example could allowing other countries to develop vaccines seriously damage American or European IP?

I find Patents evil the same way hardcore racism is. Exploitation and profiteering are their motivations under the guise of fear and protection.

From all of my work experience, it is finding product-market-fit that is harder than filing a bunch of patents or better yet buying them up in bulk. Yet startups can be hugely liable to patent trolls.

Did not realize how much the Universities themselves are perpetuating this problem.

Define efficiency and then I may agree. I not only work more efficiently from home, but work least inefficiently in an office setting. I don't have kids and my daily meditation helps me from being distracted. I personally think most information workers can work more efficiently from home.

Assume you are an owner of Apple stock and your networth depends on it.

What should Apple do to minimize your risk?

This just means many US companies, especially ones extracting oil, prefer using precious water to make profits.

US Government finally woke up to the fact that Cybersecurity is important.

I am sure once Water is recognized as a precious resource, we will see improvement.

"the crowd had put tires over the alleged thief and set him on fire".

A single person brave enough to think against crowds could have STOPped this atrocity from happening.

Reminds me of how Mahatma Gandhi was attacked in South Africa by a group of predominantly white-males, was literally being beaten to death, when just one white-female STOPped this atrocity from happening (source: Gandhi the Man - https://www.amazon.com/Gandhi-Man-Changed-Himself-Change/dp/...).

Most of us are too afraid to stop atrocities (Ex: Recently Muslims getting killed in Delhi while Modi was adulating Trump). But a few who do could may help save humanity.

Amjad the CEO of Replit could be fairly insecure person afraid of losing his company's dominance/marketshare to some simple intern/developer. I am sure he did NOT expect this level of heat.

This article and the associated 'press' could serve as a text-book case for insecure start-up CXOs.

In my 'biased' view, AI has already revolutionized more fields than most people will 'ever' recognize. However unfounded fears and insecurities around jobs are keeping its real potential at bay.

My bet is the actual impact will first be realized in poorest countries (India included) and then will spread to more advanced countries (US/G7).

The number one life skill, based on my own experience is, Self Inquiry (Who Am I?) based Meditation. Know that you are not your body or your mind, but the Awareness or knowing that observes all your thoughts, sensations, feelings and perceptions. Search Youtube for Rupert Spira and watch some of his meditations.

There is an apathy around bombing civilians in Islamic countries, especially if done by another Islamic country. It is considered just a matter of business/strategy to supply weapons to Saudi Arabia, even when the extent of Human rights violations there are fully known. This problem can be resolved only when there is a broad recognition that all Humans are equal, regardless of religion, caste etc.

"Democratic systems can work by increasing the transparency of the government and by increasing the education of the voting population." Most of the big problems facing the humanity can be addressed using transparency of government combined with better education for all. To that list I would add, decreasing the role corporate money plays into influencing government and universities. For this to happen we need to rethink Economics (https://www.ted.com/talks/kate_raworth_a_healthy_economy_sho...).

How can we ask that question, if the companies we work for and all the work we do, is asking exactly the opposite question?
