Iterating…

 

These days after I write something I iterate it with chatbots for insights and corrections. Only when I am convinced, I post it. It is kind of self-editing without really changing the core or the emotions connected to it. Even after I have posted I read it again and again, also iterating with different chatbots for varying insights. I gather I was not entirely right on Amartya Sen while referring to Idea of Justice -a book I read long back, and I vaguely recall not being satisfied with the intellectual play. The reference of caste was sideshow (or probably not even mentioned, chatbot says it was mentioned…I have well passed likes of Sen to go back and re-read, there is nothing there of interest in the rear mirror), and is a serious lapse, indeed mischief, when discussing idea of justice while grandly hinging ancient India as source. His reputation becomes pliable instrument for sinister forces. To consolidate narration of exceptionalism, and ground work for nationalism. Right from Ayodhya to sabarimala you see the footprints of castetva degradation that is now passed on to hindutva. This depraved section created the ecosystem to nurture and feed dubious people as intellectuals and narration controllers, who took pole positions as writers, artists, columnists, journalists etc. The depravity is deep rooted and elois in the West are thoroughly taken in by balderdash of spirituality, diversity, cosmos level conjurers of peace. As anti-science deceit gets hardened among western herds the writers and artists are expected to be perceptive to understand the seriousness of slipping contemporary context. India seriously lacks tradition and culture of critical thinking. It is held by low caliber blessed seeking desperately to justify their entitlement. They have the capacity to do anything but are limited by their own woeful limitations.  

This obfuscation of religion driven balderdash into science to claim exceptionalism is a project of all religions, and you will see herd litters spread across social media in this wasted occupation. Or else, the Hegelian anti thesis binary of better native understanding than 'western' science. Critical thinking is important so is empathy (I use this to include subjective frame, words like spiritualism are too misused, indeed degraded). So, I have corrected my earlier post. Iterating with chatbot is quite interesting and the sub reference and questions can fractal and loop into something entirely unexpected. Not that I take all the suggestions by chatbots, but yes give serious consideration.
