The other side, creating binary default

So finally the West is realising the mistake, while the poorer societies and marginalised have to endure the cost, as always.  Fluffs nurtured in bubbles of theory filled countenance and virtues of virtual presences –the human bots that seeks to argue despite clear evidences, as approvals and disapprovals keep inflating both. Wallowing in the comfort meanwhile carrying colonial angst and exaggerated evaluation as kindred souls, as saviour, they take these as rituals. With market exigencies and mob as audience critical thinking and nuanced understanding don’t have a chance. This binary form of discussion that is being posited as discourse to understand the issue for the audience in all its basest and crudest thoughts is seen as an achievement, leaving the muddle where plausible get imprinted in the seeking minds, and with regressive traditions and through on line consolidations these get emboldened.   

Being placed in a society where inane arguments and priceless stupidity as discourse occupied the limited minds, while wasted lives with tenuous connection to reality speculated nature of truth, and with ease even encompassed the universe in their entitled folds, henceforth all human endeavours and achievements could be easily appropriated. For caste cannibals Hinduism became a fertile entitlement ground for heuristic appropriation of any latest scientific achievements. It is as if we knew about these much before! The arrogance in mythical prowess is amazing. Speculation and predictive skills were being nurtured as special connections with other worldly, ofcourse at the cost of humanity and any sane basis. Indians therefore have upperhand on deceit while keeping pious bearing and seemingly open mind for different views, indeed any degradations –clearly that is what these were open to, attracting all kinds of nonsense. This society wallows in self-created muck. Therefore discussions are set, previously in degraded traditional frames, now shifted to market grab. A society that has long history of obfuscation of truth and manipulations shifts from crude to nuanced. The crude is being classified as Right wing (who haven’t yet learned the tricks of playing along the western narration) while nuanced, purring to the power, ticking all the boxes that excite the fluffs in west are liberals!

So we have truth as infinite massive dump that is open to speculation, ofcourse the same argument that holds lie is not given credence in grander scheme. Caste has to be accepted as reality (indeed one can easily see that these grand narrations and speculation as a deceit to hide sh*t filled hometruths and moral vacuum -which needs subjectifying the reality to sustain). With this background one can quite easily decipher the nonsense that is posited as discussions. Racism or Nazism (as much as Casteism) is not reality, it is being proven with all evidence to be wrong, and a dangerous degradation of the humanity. It cannot be posited as counter “argument” hence given credence through neutral platform. You cannot be neutral or ambivalent about something that has been proven to be wrong. The same holds for issues regarding climate change or religion (common people feel extremely threatened, while elite clamour to position as liberal without caring for concerns. Indeed religion in itself is increasingly an anachronism that should be severely questioned and scrutinised. Religion is not an identity, it is a violation on humanity if it accepted as such). To be neutral when facing overwhelming evidence on the contrary is being irresponsible, this neglect increase in magnitude when placed in crucial position as arbitrators. It needed a nutcase like Trump to open to the incursions of white supremacist, and the deep fallacy of maintaining the symbols associated with these as history. These are not history; these represent a heinous distortion of humanity that has been long since corrected with sacrifices and bravery. Racist symbols in public spaces are not reminders but encroachment. Public spaces are for people and symbol one respect. There are racist symbols and statues existing all across the world that we told to tolerate (caste encroachment will be dealt, racist casteist figures like Gandhi has absolutely no place in African continent. He must be removed from public space and sent back to primitive society that he emerged from, they can sing lullaby of mahatma. Indian government shouldn’t be spending public money imposing these. How will you look into the eyes of a child in Africa who seeks to understand the world? Ofcourse not through Gandhi. We in India have to tolerate people like him because of entrenched powerful interest whose credibility, indeed locus standi, is dependent on this farce). What has been understood as wrong, with all evidence and scrutiny, must be held so, ofcourse one can continuously and rigorously question these in private for clarifications. 

Critical and rigorous analysis is rooted to human evolution, to where we are now as a specie, enhancing senses and protecting from elements. This understanding cannot be allowed to be fizzled away. Ofcourse there is a danger here too, as is becoming clear that supremacist tend to use science fiction, into deviant thought frame. Everything is not subjective, what has been understood with evidence must be taken as objective unless with better evidence (unlike the manipulative indian mind that tries to even question the objective reality as is understood. There has been spate of views channeled by “bania media” on science after the ‘March for Science’ indicating a higher moral view of world, an exaggerated self worth that is ready to awe strike the world at short notice. Something that the entitled Indian mind is habituated to. Entitled itch is difficult to control when the blessing is urgent!). Science is an outcome of inquisitive enquiring mind that seeks evidence, streamlines thoughts in a logical way, and opens to rational analysis and to speculate. And most significantly negate what doesn’t fulfil these, because if you are not able to despite overwhelming evidence then it isn’t logical. One can tackle it if new evidence arises. Negation is one aspect that some find difficult, hence they search for divine and let in religious crap. Few centuries back with too much unknown these had space, but now in the contemporary reality of things religion or structured divine or deviant traditions herein has no place, at the most it can be personal spiritual space –the enlightened humility of “I don’t know”(as Ms. Syzmborska so succinctly put it two decades back). The reason why most Indian scientists, as also science teachers (who are supposed to inspire), tend to be shoddy with quite limited possibility as they seem incapable to comprehend the gravity of what they are dealing with, they are too enmeshed in degraded religious frame and deviant ritual driven traditions, they seem too fatalistic for any good, too entitled to admit. Such a waste. Beware of Indians who have exacted the art of obfuscation and muddy the reality to emerge at high moral ground as pure all-knowing souls. It is an infection. 

Technology is an application that works on fulfilling subjective needs. It is rather spacious to criticize science for technological incursions.  Indeed science is only a product of inquiring inquisitive mind. It is a crucial hinge to human survival as an individual and as society. Fluffs posing as liberals or religion driven miracle seeking nutcases will not be allowed to dilute these. It is too precious.
