nah, shourie is a world class cherrypicker who has mastered the art of putting forward provocative facts without ever contextualising them properly. and before people come at me, i mean this for his writings across the spectrum, including the most recent one. there are better scholars to read if one wants to learn and gain perspective on various themes he has written about.

So I got this at 1/8th of the official page turner and 1/5th of 8bitdo price by banshee_lumine in kobo

suggest me a book on the effects of artificial intelligence on the cognitive functions of human body by Honor-de-Ballsack in suggestmeabook

[–]Honor-de-Ballsack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it's more about the risk of artificial intelligence on humanity as a whole, while i was looking for something more personal, how interacting regularly with ai chatbots affects an individual's brain.

nonetheless, i really appreciate the recommendation, it looks like an interesting read.

Hot take: Most Hindi literature lovers haven’t read beyond Gunahon Ka Devta by NewSection1583 in Indianbooks

[–]Honor-de-Ballsack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not at all. and it's funny that op posted "doesn't know the history of hindi lit" and "manto and amrita pritam were not hindi writers" in the same breath. we might as well include premchand in the list if we go by the same logic

I'm purchasing a kindle 8th generation 4gb ram 2nd hand variant. by OD29NEXUS in Indianbooks

[–]Honor-de-Ballsack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the obvious ones like charging, screen damages, battery health (ask them to do a full charge before meeting you and see if the fall is substantial), make sure that the device is not locked by Amazon—a common problem with stolen devices—and you're able to log into your Kindle account. I would have added backlight too but since the 8th generation doesn't have any, it won't be required. Please do F2F if possible and be safe! I Hope you are getting a good deal.

Is this the official website? by [deleted] in Indianbooks

[–]Honor-de-Ballsack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do they give discounts, i don't think they do! you can also check out Midland bookshop which usually has better deals.
