  • Thank you.

    read political theory and history

    Which books other than the one that you mentioned(thanks for that), would you recommend? Introductory ones that are modern/contemporary, if possible.
    I’ve been recommended State & rev and I have read it, but it seems that eventhough I get the idea, I don’t have the foundation and context(didn’t understand who all the people mentioned in it are) to fully understand it. Maybe I need to reread it.

    Are there any books that you’d recommend about organising and the associated skills/strategy needed for it?

    Could I ask a related question:
    In my place I’m seeing communal polarisation increasing. Or it is becoming more evident. How would one oppose that in a populace where religion and caste hold good sway, without the opposition giving it more power accidently?
    I’ve seen leftist n leftish organisations being affected by this.





  • Did it almost 2 weeks ago.

    Automatic local backup did not happen, so I used Settings -> Chat -> Chat Backup -> Backup now

    I don’t have a google account selected in the backup options and the local backup was created.

    I’ve been thinking about reinstalling whatsapp once more, but now even when I click it, it’s not backing up.
    So maybe it’s not allowed now





  • dismiss any information merely because it emanates from a source they disfavor is the epitome of liberalism

    But there are sources that we’d doubt more, right?

    In this case, I think the info is decent, since other sources say similar stuff and it makes sense withp previous info/experience.

    Not related to science news, but I’m careful of sources with a right-wing bias in the context of general news. I’ve had experiences where they had exaggerated or twisted news. Not that left-wing sources are totally free of it, but it the scale n frequency in exaggeration seems different. And it often gets criticises by left-wing people too.

    So, I am more careful of those rightwing sources. Am I a liberal because of that?







  • Islam used to be the forefront of scientific and mathematical discovery.

    People of all religions have contributed to scientific growth.

    The average religious person and the person discovering scientific/mathematical stuff are generally different tho.
    Universal basic education has gained focus in many parts of the world, only relatively recently.

    I think improved scientific temper would obviously vlash with many mainstresm religions.

    Presence of some supreme creator may not be proven or disproven, but I think most of the anti-evolution stuff and similar things in most mainstream religions would face more questions when scientific temper improves.

    And I’m not say that non-religious people are safe from similar stuff tho. Just that it is easily spread and maintained when you have a community on it.
