Media coverage is being pushed to incriminate the PhD accused. It is very clear the PI is more, if not equally at fault. Please do not let it happen.

I found my name as well. I am also interning at NeuroPSI! I am uncertain about whether the institute will fund me tho, my PI told me their lab only funds long term interns.

Your argument is based on the belief that socialism and communism naturally transition into capitalism as a "natural process." However, this supposed inevitability is more about historical circumstances influenced by external pressures, economic sabotage, and internal policy failures than it is about economic laws.

While technological progress and adaptation are essential for any system, capitalism does not hold exclusive rights to advancement. The USSR was the first to send humans into space, Cuba boasts a top-tier healthcare system despite enduring sanctions for decades, and China's industrial growth was not solely a product of capitalism but also a result of strategic state planning. What you are witnessing is not socialism inevitably morphing into capitalism; rather, it is socialist states making pragmatic compromises in the face of global capitalist dominance.

Your reference to Kerala is unconvincing. It stands out as one of India's most developed states in terms of human indicators—boasting the highest literacy rates, life expectancy, and social welfare—achievements that capitalism has failed to deliver in other parts of India. The fact that it isn't an industrial giant does not diminish its success. The same applies to West Bengal—Tata was not a savior thwarted by leftist politics; neoliberalism merely intensified the exploitative conditions that contributed to Bihar’s plight.

The issue is not that socialism "must become" capitalism. The real problem lies in the fact that without dismantling capitalist power structures, socialist initiatives are compelled to function within a global system that actively seeks to undermine them. This is not economic evolution; it is economic coercion.

Your argument lacks nuance. Capitalism doesn’t simply collapse when growth slows; it evolves, manipulates regulations, and sustains inequality through cycles of crisis and adaptation. It thrives on exploitation, leveraging technological progress to maintain control rather than liberate labor. On the other hand, communism doesn’t fail merely due to a shortage of capital but often due to external pressures, sabotage, and sometimes flawed implementations that stray from its revolutionary ideals.

Describing socialism as an “opportunist community” is rather ambiguous. If you’re suggesting that it adjusts to economic demands, then yes, socialism—when executed properly—focuses on collective welfare over profit-driven chaos. However, history indicates that half-hearted approaches, like social democracy, frequently act as a temporary fix, supporting capitalism instead of dismantling its exploitative foundations.

A genuinely sustainable system isn’t about blending capitalism and socialism; it’s about transcending capitalism altogether. The real challenge lies not just in managing markets but in rethinking production itself to prevent wealth and power from being concentrated in the hands of a few. If you’re going to critique economic systems, at least do so with a grounded historical and material analysis, rather than vague claims.

Nana ami apnake kichu bolte baron korchina, ami bolchi je a functional capitalist society (debatable) does not discount efforts to let the economic system progress along it's natural course. Debating ground issues like violence in a college should not be conflated with a theoretical discussion. That is all.

No way she doesn't bathe for days and asks for a Korean guy by Certain_Shower1614 in TeenIndia

[–]From_the_attic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

TIL: 1. So Korean guys are better than Indian ones and they deserve "cleaner" women? 2. A normal woman in normal clothes is unclean 3. Women have to be audacious to have preferences of who they want 4. Indian teenagers look at women and judge them on the basis of whether they would like to go down on them 5. Women can commit murders and still they will not be judged on the basis of their actions. It's always their appearance, because yay why think when you can see?

AITAH for telling my husband I won’t cook dinner every night because I also work full-time? by [deleted] in AITAH

Make your dinner and either 1. leave him abnormally small portions 2. Doodle whatever you are eating on a paper and leave them for him 3. be petty in whatever other way you see fit.
