It totally is. I think the selfless aspects are highlighted more as they are for long term benefit. It also about definition of self from that point onwards..

That's why I called it practical. It's more like a long term investment where everyone wins (not only you). That's why it can be considered selfless.

Good example but in most real world cases choice will be to keep one point to themselves and give away between zero to one point to the group out of that one point. Now selfish behaviour kicks in as every individual wants to give as little

I think your statement is spot on in context of giving cash to people in resource stripped geographies. As charities handling social programs are detached from ground realities. But in context of democratic, developed states and cities; UBI

I am being pragmatic. Having lived (currently living) in a pseudo socialist state, I do not think UBI/welfare state is going to last. May be I am wrong in sense of not knowing how people will change given the choice. Minimum social inf

UBI is a well intentioned but misdirected goal. Ask for minimum social infrastructure. Not money. Minimum social infrastructure that involves food, education and medicine safety to a good degree (without any hint of lavishness). We achieve

Ethics should be taught on all levels. It's impossible to predict how a good invention of today would be twisted to serve an ulterior motive tomorrow. Can we get a universal understanding of right and wrong. Not sure. Isn't AK-47

I recently spent good bit of time studying neuroscience. It's fascinating the way brain and nervous system functions. My own understanding is that animals are much more a slave to their neural networks as compared to humans. Because of

Hey. What data source are you using?

Sorry but you are wrong. You are making classic mistake of viewing ancient texts in light of recent findings and theories. Let me share some examples In Varahavatar, Earth was submerged into ocean. You realise that ancients for a long time

by negamax 10y ago
Ohh man, as an Indian and who's aware of these texts. They are pure speculation. Although a good one. Question raised here is legitimate and ocean, blah and blah; doesn't answer the question why something exists.

Current ruling party (BJP) is left as far as left's ideologies goes

by negamax 10y ago
Not sure how BJP (current ruling party) has come to be identified as anti left. It gained power simply because past governments (lead by Congress) were divisive, had done massive scams and corruptions. Previous parties (who also ruled) fann

I don't personally see anything wrong with these remote, screen based, assessment requirements. These are to curb any chance of cheating. If we focus on reason instead of jumping the gun to privacy violation. Coming to your question. F

Narendra Modi and his party are not alt-right. That's really sad conclusion to draw.

Always knew this intuitively. When two tribes, cities, countries goto war; they push each side to get better or perish. Winner never takes all as any society created with war in center will have power struggle built in. Process repeats.

This has more to do with low barrier to entry in any online platform. For any job there could be zillions of bids, going down spiral. All claiming they can do the job. It creates a sort of situation where people don't realise that thei

Their competitor is not Slack but Salesforce. Salesforce is a leader in enterprise CRM. Facebook with apps, messenger and cloud infrastructure is way ahead on tech and usability front. This move if for getting users from entreprise.

I was surprised by this statement. As someone surrounded by really smart people of all age groups, specially the olds; I find it wrong. It could simply be personal belief thing instead of natural limit

My understanding is that this policy is enforced on government housing. Which is really well done and highly subsidised. Many immigrants rent such units, and that does help them understanding the country better

It was a great idea. Singapore is harmonious and everyone understands each other better, to a major part because of this. People who grow up in singular neighbourhoods simply don't realise what they are missing in understanding each ot

Same policy in Singapore. All government houses is distributed as such that people from all backgrounds (religions) get intermingled.

Problem is overpopulation and less number of cities. Delhi/Mumbai and other metros get weight of the whole country. Unless more metros get created situation won't improve.

About chaos theory. You can experience it in playing Starcraft 2. In the very beginning make tiny decisions on workers vs soldiers. Or where to fortify or what to upgrade and see entire game getting influenced by it. Have dusted it off afte

You misunderstand me. I meant in terms of technology making them cheaper. Like online courses by major universities, open medicinal formulas (within reason). Investment and maintainence of roads etc by robotics

Universal basic infrastructure is what we need a push towards. Next to free energy, education, medicine.
