Peace Is for Fools. Ask Any Smart Person

Error, Not Terror: What Happens When Hindu Men Attack a Mosque?
When the accused are Hindu and the place of worship attacked Muslim, bombs suddenly become ‘gelatin sticks’ and no properties linked to the accused are demolished.

I want to be a patriot. I am telling myself that being an Indian patriot requires me to look away from, if not celebrate the injustice and pain 15-year-old children suffer, especially if they happen to be Muslim.

I hope that’s the motive. What I fear is worse-that the author sincerely believe in his views, and that the Editor genuinely thinks that the piece is worthy of publishing.
Should have known better than to read the mind-numbing banality which is the article in the OP. Demonstrates the craven desperation of India’s corporate bosses to ingratiate themselves with gormint and its chadD ideologues.
Op-Ed in India’s leading daily newspaper. Says China's AI integrates Confucian values and American AI has "materialist frameworks" and imagines a utopia where AI is trained on Vedas.
To call this mediocrity would be high praise.

He claims to be fighting for freedom and truth. Across history, not one person fighting for freedom and truth has demanded that you blindly worship and submit to the person in power.

To the monogamous people that ask polyamorous people how we have the time for more than one relationship when they can barely find the time to manage one, I have some questions for you…
Do y’all have friends?
Seriously,do you?
Do you have a life at all outside of your spouse/partner?
Are you ok?
