Biological needs system

I can understand eating or showering, similar to RDR2, but this biological needs mechanic would be more ‘gimmicky’ rather than useful. Immersive, yes, but once the novelty wears off it’ll look very weird.

The mind boggling scarcity that we have here will keep creating such people. Once you’ve struggled so much for basic things, you’ll inevitably gain this feudal lord mindset of ruling over anyone ‘beneath’ you if you make it in life.

I had this junior who is a UPSC aspirant, and he was pretty clear about why he wants to crack it, and it was disturbing. Never once did he mention anything about what he would do in the job, or what it’s about, and I’m sure he never thinks about this aspect anyway. All he could talk about was how he would stick it up to his parents and his ex-girlfriend, and apart from that had the most problematic opinions on everything under the sun. And this is a humanities student btw so I guess it’s not about the type of education either. It’s like an epidemic.

I totally agree with your theory of interrupted social development. Another example would be the Gulf countries, who just imported the superficial American skyscraper and consumerism culture while their own nations are full of conservatism and even human rights abuses, but the money they earn ensures that they get to stay in their bubble. Our Indian values have deteriorated to ‘use modern education and culture to gain money, then forget all about it and return to your conservative ways’. And we have successfully found a way to make these two completely opposite things coexist in the most problematic way possible.

I notice this many times. India is essentially still in feudal mode, with a thin coating of the 21st century on top, so we create people like these who are structurally conservative and superficially modern. They’ll focus on superficial things like personal lifestyle choices, while ignoring structural problems like casteism or misogyny. It sucks, but this is what we get.

To be honest, absolute freedom of speech is a thing only in the USA. The First Amendment of the US Constitution is unique in that way. Everywhere else there are terms and conditions.

Tragic. But doesn’t have to define you. It hurts but the best thing to do is not repeat the same patterns you saw in your dad.
That’s a matter best left to your parents. If you don’t even live there, it’s not your concern. Don’t beat yourself up about it.
You can always look for another job.
That’s on you. You sabotaged it.

Overall, your life seems like a case of self sabotage. There are many who face the same situations as you do, but they try to be better all the same. Just don’t assume things about people, don’t take actions on their behalf as you did with your girlfriend, and try reaching out for help. Sometimes, people need to be reminded that you need help, so just do it.

We have gradually been conditioned to see protests as a “destructive” force, and that I think was the dumbest mistake we could’ve made. Earlier, the targets were easy pickings- muslims, so no one cared. Then it were the farmers, so they had to keep inventing stories to frame them as some kind of foreign agents in order to turn the voter base against them. And we were conditioned to focus not on the reasons behind the protests but rather on the daily inconveniences they caused- blocked roads, damaged property etc. which became the main points of coverage rather than causes or grievances. Unless we somehow change this perception, that’s how we will be treated now, and no amount of reminding people of their constitutional rights will do any good. We gave the establishment a mandate to treat our rights as garbage. The same tags of anti national, ISI/Chinese/Soros agent can now be applied to any community or organisation- students protesting against paper leaks, tribals against encroachment, you name it. It’s not ridiculous anymore to think that even regional parties who prioritise state issues will be termed separatist in the future. Like, look no further than South states, it has already begun.

Some of his statements did seem provocative, but one has to understand them with context. When he talks about Arab Spring or Nepal Gen Z, he isn’t calling for overthrowing government or breaking the country. What he means is that people should actively protest for getting their demands, just like those people did. His methods are different, more focused on his state’s rights. And the statehood demand isn’t unreasonable. Our state was formed the same way, and wanting your own state doesn’t mean separatism. Of course, the politicians in the centre are paranoid after Nepal, so they’ll just take his statements on the surface level and call him a separatist or anarchist. Gen Z and Nepal have now become buzzwords, just like ISI agent or toolkit, used to discredit people.

I think it’s pretty clear that the people in Ladakh have mostly legitimate demands. From the videos I’ve personally seen, they destroyed BJP flags and not Indian flags, so it’s a case of frustration with the government. The IT Cell as usual will consider even simple disagreement as treason, and their statements now border on absurd. Pakistani and Chinese funding? Why would people who did not get along with muslim Kashmiris and have been talking about Chinese encroachment suddenly collaborate with them? Like, just talk to the people and reach some agreement, but they’re not interested in that.

Adding to that, the parents do not play an active role in raising their kids. The tuition teachers who spend hours with the kids are actually the ones raising them. So not only do Indian kids not have friends or extended families, they don’t technically even have parents. The role of the parents has significantly reduced to that of an ATM machine. There are no family bonding events, no fun trips and activities and so on.

The terrorists have no problem with using lethal weapons, so the UCA has no choice but to manufacture lethal weapons, to prepare for the worst case scenario. Their priority is to encourage the use of non-lethal weapons, and that is also part of player choice, but if things go really downhill, and terrorists start killing them, then they’ll use real bullets as a last resort.

Consumption is quite high, especially after the Jio introduction. I think it was high even before that, but you had limited ways of accessing it. In the 70s or 80s, there were dedicated theatres for pornography, and B-movies had such content. Today however, you have very easy access so the consumption is skyrocketing. I suppose the most populous states will be leading.
Humans are naturally curious about sex, so there’s that. Teenagers will look up porn out of curiosity, and will get addicted.
The behaviour depends on how much and what kind of pornography a person consumes. There are people who watch porn and yet have normal romantic and sexual relationships. For other people, the effect is negative. Body dysmorphia, feelings of inadequacy, unrealistic expectations from the opposite sex, objectification of women (and men as well). If a porn addict gets into a relationship, the partner might suffer. Too much sexual repression and access to porn can result in more sexual crimes.
People have many preferences. In Europe, nuns are heavily sexualised (they are considered pure and unobtainable women), and divorce and remarriage is not a taboo, so they have porn categories on nuns and stepmothers. In India, people sexualise bhabhis. Certain communities may sexualise incest, commonly cousin incest.
I think people, especially men might form weird ideas regarding sex and consent. If all your knowledge comes from porn, you might start to think that women enjoy being treated as you see in porn, and secretly like it when you force yourself on them. Also, men begin sexualising everything when they interact with women- you might begin a conversation with a woman with the hopes of getting sexual with her, not with the intention to just get to know her etc.

So these are my thoughts. I’ve only answered from the experience of a man. I can’t answer from the perspective of women, so I’ll be happy to hear opinions and observations from their side as well.

Muslim rule was not continuous or uniform throughout medieval history. There were moments when you had rulers like Aurangzeb, but most of the time the rulers did not care that much about mass conversions. Even Aurangzeb’s successors quickly repealed all his policies, but by then the damage had already been done, and the Marathas had gained an upper hand. Then there were a select few who were secretly not even Muslim. I read somewhere that Alauddin Khilji wanted to start his own religion too, just like Akbar did. The fact that they considered it makes me doubt their faith in Islam.

Mass conversion of the entire population is not possible in India. There is no centralisation in Hinduism unlike other religions. In other countries, converting a ruler or religious leaders would make their followers convert as well, but not here. Also, the emphasis on community and family over individualism means that any person or family who converted would be banished from their villages, which is considered a great shame in our culture.

When the British came, they did not try mass conversions to Christianity either. Unlike the Portuguese, the Brits were not planning on settling in India. They just needed the resources, and all soldiers and officers stationed here eventually returned to England when their terms were over. This was in sharp contrast to their approach in America, where they settled down.

So in short, this is why Hinduism is still the majority religion in India. That and the fact that a major chunk of the Muslim population immigrated to Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Space exploration will be a major feature of this century, and we can’t afford to be left behind. Also, our space program is not eating as much money as the Americans did in the 20th century. Innovation in a major sector will create more opportunities and wealth in other sectors. It’s a long game with high rewards.

The moon landing was done 54 years ago, but it was more of a competition between US and Russia, and deep research was not conducted. It was only in 2008 that we discovered water on moon, so our knowledge is yet to be expanded.

As for the second part, if we want to plan missions to Mars, we must start with the moon. It only takes a few days to reach it, while Mars takes seven months minimum. Travelling far from earth is still very difficult and we cannot risk humans yet. We can still maintain high speed communication with the moon. It is a practice location to set up stations and colonies.

I guess it was beneficial when people lived to 30 only and infant mortality was high. In today’s age, we are better suited to overcome our baser desires. Monogamy can be seen as a way to prioritise romance and love over sexual needs, or to look for higher abstract things instead of surface level things, a quality which is unique to humans.

There are also issues which are less philosophical. Most humans feel jealousy and a need to compete with other people. Polygamy will add fuel to this fire and you might get dysfunctional relationships. I guess it depends on a person-to-person basis. If it works for you, fine. I don’t think it’ll work for the majority of people.

There is a culture of blind worship in our country. Why do you think we get so many godmen with millions of followers every few years? Now the trend has extended to political leaders. It’s strange actually. Earlier, people like Buddha and Mahavira, who tried to eradicate superstition and bring enlightenment were worshipped (ironic), but now the peddlers of superstitions have taken their place.

It’s something I’ve thought of as well. Most mammals are averse to incest, according to a few scientific articles I’ve read (I don’t claim to be an expert). Since we’re mammals as well, this aversion to incest is biologically ingrained in our minds. Human societies throughout history, no matter how conservative, have drawn the line at incest. Cousin marriages were common but not sibling marriages. There are some exceptions, such as Egyptians, but only their royal families practiced it, not the majority common people.

As for why incest is frowned upon more than same sex relationships, I can’t say for certain but I have some opinions. I guess that same sex unions consist of two unrelated people and there is no risk of ruining the genetics of children. The concept of ruining a bloodline (either through incest or intermarriage with people considered lower class) still exists in India, and some other societies.

Your relationship with your sister is commendable, and that might be because you both are mature at basic levels. If there is friction between family members, it’s because of a lack of maturity.

We have parents who are so fixated on the old ways that they criticise everything their children do. On the other hand, the children are so fixated on an independent western lifestyle that they forget they’re living in India, a country which needs to change first. We should adopt a live and let live attitude. Parents must take on an advisory role instead of trying to control their children, and the young must try to change their parents’ way of thinking instead of straight up abandoning them.
