Constructive and Destructive societies

Last updated on: December 25, 2008 at 7:40 am By Desh Kapoor

After the two blocs finished infighting after the cold war, the Soviet Union faded away in the late 80s and that created a vacuum. So in steps China that is clearly going to take the place of the Soviet Union and I think the second one is India partly because of its size, because it’s a nuclear power, and a democracy along with its heritage and economy. All these combine into third party influences. Then there are the other players and there are the radicals and the extremists of the Islamic world that want to bring back the golden era of Islam, with the understanding that there is a limit to resources like oil. The Bin Ladens-not the person but the phenomenon that he represents have two options - one is join the rest of the world and work on science and technology and see the production or (two) if the ship has left the dock try to destroy it. I think that is really the bigger picture. (emphasis added) [1] This is very well put. I can't really say about what happened in other countries and other times, but the historical landscape of radical and militant Islam and its interaction with the "other" world is predicated on this ONE option - the option #2. Whether it was Babar's attack on India or it was Ghori's attack or Aurangzeb's destruction of art and subjugation of music.. or whether it is Saudi Arabia's claustrophobic laws and Taliban's equally medieval laws and acts (though not as skillfully camoflaged in finery as Saudi ones are).. the pattern is very similar. Destroy what you find is better than what you can think of or what looks different! Read more

Simplicity Wins

Last updated on: December 25, 2008 at 3:53 am By Desh Kapoor

Sometimes a rather ridiculously simple solution could work in places where we are looking for very complex stuff. Read these 3 case studies which illustrate this lesson "Simplicity wins"! 1. Writing in Space When NASA began launching astronauts into space, they found out that the astronauts’ pens wouldn’t work at zero gravity (ink wouldn’t flow down to the writing surface). It took them one decade and $12 million to solve this problem. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on practically any surface including crystal, and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. And what did the Russians do? The Russians used a pencil. Read more

GIVING OUR INNER VOICE A CREDIBLE HUMAN VOICE

Last updated on: December 24, 2008 at 5:16 pm By Rev. Dr. Todd Littleton

Today I wish to share with you something very sacred and very useful that has helped me a lot in my daily intents, ideals, dreams,short, middle and long term goals. Besides saving me a lot of very valuable time. After hearing the always important messages from our master within through his subtle voice, it is highly recommended to write down immediately such messages in order to later on reinforce them by using an ancient mystical formula taking advantage of our modern technology by recording the message three times leaving a four second pause between each affirmation. For example the latest message for next year is that it would be wonderful for me and my love ones to be more patient, so what I should do is to record this affirmation: "Ezequiel please be more patient with your intents, desires, family, friends, ideas, thoughts and specially your contacts with superior spiritual forces by picturing yourself in the general cosmic scheme of things.Please" I repeat this with my best harmonious and subtle voice, but at the same putting on it passion, light, life and a lot of divine love. The pause between each affirmation is at least four seconds, but sometimes it will be as long as eight seconds. The big secret here is in the sincerity and honesty that these affirmations will travel along my subconscious mind becoming later on natural and effortlessly reflexes. Read more

Mumbo-Jumbo of the economists and the coming storm

Last updated on: December 23, 2008 at 11:26 pm By Desh Kapoor

People say that economy is bad in the US and the world. I nevertheless believe that this is just the beginning. We may end with a far bigger mess than we even anticipate. The packages that we have seen currently from the Governments are really more to "sweep" the mess under the carpet, as it were... NOT to solve the crisis. In fact, with countries and large bodies - not just corporate entities - going bankrupt, I find no parallel in the known history that this time can viably learn from. So, whatever people say is part nonsense and part wishful thinking! Here is an excellent discussion by this guy NAsser Taleb author of "Black Swan" and his mentor. It is interesting to see how totally taken aback the interviewer is. You might also find this another discussion by Taleb interesting, where he tries his desperate best to explain things to a rather dumb blonde on BBC! Read more

How a gallant police officer arrested Kasab

Last updated on: December 23, 2008 at 8:26 am By Desh Kapoor

Here is a good illustration of how an ordinary assistant sub-inspector fought against the terrorists and was able to capture ONE out the 10, who is now proving to be the biggest ammunition against the entire lie of Pakistani establishment. Of course, even after Pakistan has been given the letter written for help by one of its own citizens, it has refused it as "ample proof". This is despite the fact that the guy's father in their village has already affirmed that Kasab is his son. Ultimately, is it really about proof? Would or rather should India need proof to hurt Pakistan? Shouldn't it be about the rights of one's citizens? In Kargil, the Pak Army personnel were killed dressed as terrorists, and were handed over to the Pak authorities... and the country, for which an Army officer gave his life refused to even ACKNOWLEDGE him as their own... forget about ensuring a decent burial and ceremony! What drives an entire establishment to disown and denigrate its own? Here is the detailed account of how Tukaram Omble helped arrest Kasab: Omble was asked by his senior officer to take up a position on Marine drive on Wednesday night, as soon as the news of firings at Leopold Café, Oberoi and Taj Hotels came in. Subsequently, at 12.45 am, Omble got an alert on his walkie-talkie that two terrorists had hijacked a Skoda car and were heading towards Girgaum Chowpatty. Minutes later Omble saw the Skoda drtiving past him. He jumped onto his two- wheeler and chased the terrorist's car. Read more

OUR FIRST HAND EXPERIENCES VERSUS THE SECOND HAND ONES

Last updated on: December 23, 2008 at 3:01 am By Rev. Dr. Todd Littleton

It is impossible for a human being to always have first hand experiences during his lifetime. The same principle applies about experimenting only second hand. Whay would be the ideal ratio? Two thirds second hand and only one third first hand or two thirds first hand experiences and only one third second hand experiences? Read more
