What is love? Can you choose to do it? If love ends, was it really love? The author and academic selects five key texts that deal with philosophy of love, fivebooks.com/best-books/phi …
There is not much difference between the double-bind and the paradox. Some are defeated by them and become small. Others use them like Zen koans to make the leap into a higher form of logic and mode of consciousness and become larger.
I particularly like a certain phrase from Castaneda that expresses this "leap" perfectly -- "the somersault into the unknown".
We are quickly moving into a time when our old mental models of how reality is supposed to behave -- our set of expectations -- no longer work to effect. People who have come to expect predictability, fixity, certainty are frightened by this and respond very poorly to it.
The aggregate effects of this is what Toffler referred to as "Future Shock", which induces the danger of what Gebser also referred to as our descent into a "maelstrom of blind anxiety", much in evidence today.
Ashok Vajpeyi says that the painter V.S. Gaitonde spent a lot of his time and energy trying to say nothing in his art. I came across this 'drawing' by Gaitonde at the NGMA today and thought how well it fits that motto.
In a new book, the medieval scholar Marion Turner argues that the Wife of Bath is the first ordinary woman in English literature. “By that,” she writes, “I mean the first mercantile, working, sexually active woman.”
Only power an ordinary citizen has is the power of asking right questions, also It’s not his job to give an alternative, he is raising questions as a citizen and that is what every Indian should do.
Brilliant essay. The best one I’ve read on ChatGPT.
The hype is going to die soon….
We had a wonderful session today on Bhasha and Samskriti in a Panel in the

Amitav Ghosh’s “The Great Derangement” discusses currents of indigenous capitalism in Asia: these were firmly squelched by nineteenth-century administrators who had no intention of allowing local entrepreneurs to compete with the mother country.
Conspiracists m/recognise there is no great lobby in Western world that seeks to undermine India. Quite opposite; West has bet heavily on India’s long-term prosperity. Rather than being wedded to notion that India will fail n thus creating stories intended to bring it down,
Three men, Ramdev, Anna Hazare, and Aravind Kejriwal, are responsible for spoiling the democratic norms of our country during 2010-11. Now returning to an ideal situation is very difficult as the current model is being perceived as normal. 2024 offers a chance but where's choice?
Cooked up news and doctored history has been the bane of our lives. Selective amnesia based on political leanings generates jaundiced views. The academicians manufacture imaginary narratives justifying their preferred propositions. Intellectual dishonesty is the order of the day.
Replying to
The Samanwaya or the harmonising section is interesting but instead of the old and established religions, why new religions like following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can't be candidates for the future needs sympathetic consideration. Their evolutionary vision shouldn't be ignored
