Every year this time, I remember how we were such good cautious kids in college MBA mid 20s! We always got a License for buying & drinking alcohol for our new year parties.

Required by Maharashtra law if you didn't know

Technically, aamchyakade you need a license to even buy booze.😂

Millionaires and billionaires would be perfectly FINE not getting salary for 33 days, or even 333 days.

The average American, folks like you and me working paycheck to paycheck, would not. Do NOT let billionaires make decisions for US.

PASS IT ON.

I don't understand people who have learned basic biology and genetics but still take pride in caste and race purity.

It's just plain scientific fact that all other things being equal, procreating outside your race gives your kids a genetic advantage on average vs within your race. And caste!
Was at Indian-Egyptian couple's baby shower. Seated with Korean-White couple & their baby. I couldn't help but think if these two babies got married in the future, their kid would be Arab, Indian, White, and Korean!

Best thing a parent can do for their kid is procreating outside the race!

21st c US is unique in racial mixing at the scale it is happening

a. No legal or social hurdles to marrying outside race
b. Ample opportunity & means to date any race
c. Mixed kids aren't exceptions in schools

24% marriages in 2023 US were inter race. Way higher in NJ CA TX FL.

New America rising
In New Jersey & NYC, this mixed race reality has really exploded in the last 15 years or so!

Back then, maybe 10% students were mixed, maybe 10% couples we knew were inter racial.

Now almost half my students in NJ are mixed race. Last 5 weddings I've attended were inter racial.

Question in pub trivia

"What is the formal scientific name of the bobcat? Clue is there's a human name in that name!"

The team was drawing a blank so I said

"Robert Catherine"

And public burst into such laughter that they gave us a point even though the answer was Lynx Rufus. 😂😂

If you owe the bank a hundred thousand rupees, the bank owns you. If you owe the bank a hundred million rupees, you own the bank.
Look at the kind of money India’s government owned banks write off every year. The government and the banks refuse to give the names of those whose loans have been written off. It is not hard to guess why.

To be clear, there's also some misunderstanding of this reason.

I know anything I post online can be scraped & used to train AI. That I'm okay with.

Musk's Nov 15 terms gave him perpetual royalty free license on all our content. That goes way beyond anonymous AI training. That's legal IP theft.
When I asked Bluesky users why they left X, many said they didn’t want their posts training AI.

But with Bluesky’s open API, anyone can scrape posts for that purpose. A HuggingFace employee just shared a dataset of 1M posts.

The reality: if you post online, assume it’ll be used to train AI.
