A strong economy isn’t a headline number—it’s a reliable loop of disposable income circulating through everyday life. This essay reframes jobs, taxes, AI-run public services, and Bitcoin as tools for restoring (and controlling) that circulation without pretending it’s a utopia problem.
China can build impressive hardware, but combat credibility comes from institutional feedback loops: reliability, integration, logistics, and honest after-action learning under real stress. The gap, where it exists, is less engineering than iteration under failure—something India has had more opport
Moving back to India wasn’t forced by visa trouble or failure—it was a deliberate trade for fairness, workable healthcare, and personal agency. The post breaks down why the hidden costs of the US immigrant “stability” story didn’t feel worth it.
Autistic attention isn’t a lack of focus so much as unreliable steering: starting, stopping, and switching on demand can be mechanically expensive. Reframing it as attention-routing helps reduce shame and explains why interruptions can feel like destabilization rather than rudeness.
Sanjeev Sanyal is most valuable as a historically grounded, institution-first way of seeing India—not as an authority to agree with wholesale. Treat his work as a corrective you interrogate, and you’ll get far more out of it than devotional certainty.
The author notices an uncomfortable relief when people they once defended are denied bail—not from changing beliefs, but from exhaustion with camp politics and outrage culture. The piece argues for separating civil liberties from tribal loyalty, practicing proportionality, and living without a camp.
A childhood labeled “genius” masked patterns of obsession, social confusion, and misdiagnosis that didn’t fit the usual narratives. Discovering neurodivergence didn’t fix everything—but it finally made the past coherent and made self-blame unnecessary.
“Just ask” is often treated as the safest, most polite move—but every question imposes an attention and responsibility cost on someone else. A better norm is self-resolution first, and asking only when the cost of being wrong exceeds the cost of interrupting another mind.
A simple 10-person country shows how asset concentration leads to stagnation, not dynamism. Without institutions and state-backed capital formation, redistribution alone tends to inflate prices and enrich existing owners rather than expand productive capacity.
A simple “family currency” model makes the state feel less like a moral entity and more like a system: it issues tokens, sets rules, and buys predictability. That lens also reframes capitalism vs socialism, law vs gangs, and religion as compressed governance under resource constraints.
If an entire economy runs on volatile income, people start spending like they’re protecting runway—less impulsive, more allocation-minded. That shift explains why governments still prize salaried jobs, and why India’s gig economy debate is really about where the safety net should live.
The most unsettling version of humans as alien pets isn’t cruelty—it’s care. A life optimized for safety and comfort can still quietly erase agency, dignity, and the right to define your own horizon.
Many events that look like coordinated plots are better explained by a stack of aligned incentives across platforms, media, creators, and audiences. Real conspiracies exist—but they leave a different trail: secrecy, directives, and documentation.
ThinkInPublic was built to reduce the friction between having an insight and saving it before it disappears. With simple writing and structured tags, it turns scattered thoughts into a navigable web you can return to—and others can discover.
Many conflicts are “just” land disputes, but this one carries layered national identities, sacred geography, living trauma, and a self-reinforcing security dilemma. Global attention then magnifies every event into a proxy fight over justice, belonging, and who gets to feel safe.
Calling something “just a wrapper,” “just CRUD,” or “just a chatbot” is reductionism used as dismissal. The real question is what the layer adds—usability, reliability, leverage, and new capabilities under real constraints.
The most useful tactics rarely get published because sharing them creates competition, liability, and social friction. Real advantage moves quietly through trust-based networks, while public advice stays safe, vague, and brand-friendly.
Even if mother tongue instruction boosts early learning, India’s linguistic reality is too messy for the policy to scale cleanly. The bigger risk is deeper fragmentation and reduced mobility—making a neutral link language like English the least-bad option.
The backlash to Deepinder Goyal’s New Year’s Eve tweets looks disproportionate to the literal claims he made—but it’s also a predictable release of accumulated anger about gig work, safety, and platform power. The real story is less the thread itself and more what it symbolised.
Job descriptions fake precision and reward performance over judgment. Posting real problems and asking for short proposals turns hiring into a high-signal, role-creation process built around outcomes.
In many Indian social circles, selling inward turns your offer into a referendum on your identity—warping pricing, authority, and confidence. Build legitimacy with strangers first, then let proof travel back into your network.
The Fallout show’s Brotherhood looks like a professional army but behaves like an armed order gone stale. That mismatch isn’t a writing error—it’s the setting’s critique of militarism and ritualized authority.
If your cat keeps meowing after being fed—then sprints off like a caffeinated gymnast—it’s often not hunger. It’s a learned “meow = human reacts” loop that’s better solved with play, attention, and consistency than extra meals.
A Lone Wander run hit an early power pocket—Toughness, Stealth, and Assassination high enough to turn bounties into logistics. Now the challenge is keeping Kenshi dangerous with a free-recruits-only rule before the sandbox starts to feel solved.
