personal news: I left the New Republic to start a Substack. It’s called Sick Note, it’s about how awful American healthcare is, and it’s launching in January (but you can sign up now if you like!). read about it here:

RT @KS1729: if you have wondered about Kautilya's 'Arthashastra', perhaps my latest substack entry might be of interest.

The outpouring of love for Tony Hseih is a reminder to: "measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you, actually do love you. The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money."

an excerpt from a film about the snake boat races in Alapuzha, Kerala -- a fiesta of social solidarity amid competition with shakespearean rivalries & humiliations & victories played out in front of thousands, with the Gods above as witness & the waters below as a final judge.

@hamsanandi @NMRatnam @vikramhegde While modern readings make this vacana a subaltern cry against Brahminical construct(ion)s, Śatāvadhānī Dr R Ganesh sees the same "architectural reconceptualizing" and sacralizing of the human person in other "orthodox" traditions too.

and @HolderStephen is right: It really couldn't happen to a better guy. Stewart's story, from the watermelon fields of rural Georgia:

There's a fine tradition of American uber-wealthy affecting middle-class values as a meritocratic front and classism dodge.

It's also endemic among the media class.

@borkdude Put the toc inside a details tag.

Oh no.

Rest in peace Tony Hsieh.

An upstanding guy in every way. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

we're coming to the point when "truth" is the "dark matter" lurking beneath the public face....

I'm now transcribing Arthur Ryder's translation of the Bhagavad-gita for the web (HTML) from a scanned copy(1930) since I could not find any prints.

Watch this page:

@shrikanth_krish innate&should be seen as a H mathematician who was spanning the ground ceded by H predecessors to the occident in a single step from Bernoulli to Riemann like a stride of viShNu. His role in restoring H confidence was immense. Some further thoughts here:

This is from Arthur Ryder's translation of the Bhagavad-gita.

"He was known for his love of the language, preferring to publish whatever most delighted him, rather than scholarly articles." (yes!)

@IamMaya00 @adamscrabble Reminded me of the "Church of Science" from Asimov's Foundation series -

Highly recommend this piece from @KS1729. Great read.

#MichelDanino's paper, for those interested. The snapshot shows the abstract.

Kāvyakaṇṭha Gaṇapati Śāstrī in his pre-Independence blueprint of an Indian constitution, interestingly prescribes a "two-party" system with an "individualist" party and a "nationalist" party. See Adhikaraṇam 25:1-5.
