Humans are genetically programmed to self
actualize.But I find that Indians are most susceptible to EMOTION MINING.From
time immemorial one sees that convoluted
appeal to sentiment rather than compulsion of logic has driven our reactions as
a group.We have failed our software miserably as a group.For a country whose
inmates populate more than 50 percent of NASA the failure is astonishing.Our
collective narrative has shifted .In civilizations that don't grow there is
either a sense of drift or a sense of sin.Time to think about this.
I believe that there are two connected dangers
militating against growth and evolution of human civilization.These are
DELEGITIMISING DISSENT and SHIFTING THE NARRATIVE.It is clear and present
danger.The emotionally mined must understand that "dissent"is just
the opposite of "consent".Sentimentalising grammar shifts the
narrative.Vibrancy of ideas and freedom of expression within a legitimate legal
framework are unexceptional.In stone age,invention of fire was a statement
of dissent.A statement of dissent against darkness.
