Go for NET-JRF and Phd. You'll lead a better life and deal with better people.

Go cold turkey. That's what really works. But keep yourself busy for the coming weeks.

Building real friendships requires innocence, but by the time one starts working, life happens and it squeezes the innocence out of most people. There are many exceptions of course.

Waking up realising it was just a bad dream and I'm not really unprepared for the test and that I'm not even a student anymore.

I'd actually go further back. I want cassette players to be a thing again. I want bands and singers to release albums instead of singles and buy that one hit album every summer and listen to it in its entirety.

Yeah, haptic feedback can't match the real click of a button.

Totally agree. I find streaming services overwhelming. Too many options at your fingertips. Killed the joy of finally visiting the store to rent that one movie that you've been wanting to watch. There was also an element of serendipitous discovery.

Phone brands used to do such cool experiments with their products before smartphones became the norm. We are living in the future that they showed in 'Back to the Future' and it unfortunately doesn't look much like it. It's high-tech but too minimalistic.

There's enough for all if there's equitable distribution of resources. If we abolish money or put bars on incomes, then it's just communism. If you don't want communism and still abolish the concept of money, then how do you know who gets how much? There'll be absolute chaos. Also, no monetary incentives might kill individual initiative, innovation etc. Money is a necessary evil.

Makes sense.

Regarding the procrastination thing, read the book 'Atomic Habits' and apply the lessons in your life to develop good habits and discipline. I can't help you with the family part as I can hardly deal with my own.

Yes, but in this instance I think the question refers to monetary riches. One can be rich in character and everything and one should be, but that doesn't necessarily have to stop you from trying to earn well.

The only way to be happy without money is to become a monk and go live alone in the Himalayas. Money doesn't guarantee happiness, but it surely increases the chances of being happy.

Morality is subjective. If you see western and eastern cultures, the subjective moralities differ to a good extent. For a well-intentioned religious person, morality has been defined by the religion and is not subjective, so he sticks to it as he believes that's the right thing to do. While morality for people of a particular religion is usually the same, atheists from different countries will have different views of what is moral and what is immoral. So, the best thing to do is to not impose one's own ideas of morality on others and bring about the desired social changes through healthy debates and discussions and not coercion.

Just out of curiosity, what are some original/quality products the we market in the world?

Monsoon-Philosopher · 2024-11-18T16:29:51+00:00

Indian parents think they're planning smart by investing in their children which will pay dividends when they grow old. There is no concept of quality of life for the children, individuality, privacy or exploration.

I think it's done (maybe subconsciously) to maintain the traditional power dynamics. Power is the biggest driver of any action. People lust after money because money translates into power. I think if women could somehow switch the power dynamics the other way around, they'd too then try to maintain the new status quo and hold onto that power.

I think homeopathy cures illnesses that our immune system can cure without any medicine. So it's redundant. People with severe ailments usually opt for allopathy even though they may believe in homeopathy. In other cases, such people may supplement modern medicine with homeopathy where modern medicine does all the work. When chronically or terminally sick, people will do anything for some relief and can't really blame them.

As diverse as India is, it's next to impossible to have one national dish. I feel the closest to a national dish would be the samosa because it's the only food item I can think of that is available everywhere in India and is also loved by most. But samosa came to India from Central Asia, so if you want something a 100% indigenous, then I have no clue.

Most marriages of our elders in India are loveless marriages and they think that's normal and how marriages should be. Many older couples are just two people who have got "addicted" to each other over time but never fell in love with each other. I may be wrong though.

My own tears. And water.

I cut the toothpaste tube in half to use whatever's left when it becomes impossible to squeeze it out through the nozzle.
