One should share even good things (e.g. achievements) of children carefully. I've seen parents continuously sharing even minuscule achievements of their children and trying to prove how smart they are as parents, or the children are prodigies.

If they become underachievers (in comparison to how their parents portrayed them), they will find it very difficult to cope with. One shouldn't burden children with one's ambitions.

It is interesting to see the Pope using secular arguments instead of simply saying God won't approve (which is completely valid from a religious perspective). The invocation of God in any serious opinion is silly, and now even religious leaders know that.

As a Bangladeshi I have the same thing to say. This is even unthinkable here. Not even students will find it appropriate here.

Yes. LLMs generate texts. They don't use language. Using a language requires an understanding of the subject one is going to express. LLMs don't understand.

Yes. They allow us to take a peek at Moore's mind. I remember how sound his idea about Anarchy was in V for Vendetta. He gives so much thought to everything he writes.

Is it necessary to burn any text?

Let's say, you want to simply show your hate. Is it healthy?

Or, you want to fight against the hateful things preached in a text. Does a text, or philosophy get animated by itself? Can they really harm without the help of their followers? They can't. Some must adhere to them. Burning won't help. Ideas are not only bulletproof but burning proof too. If anything does, that is education.

Or, do you want to hurt the followers? Is hurting fine? Does every follower deserve the hurt you're inflicting on them?

Or, do you want to people not follow that text? Well, hate never turned anyone toward one's cause.

A Digital Garden is a website where nurture your thoughts publicly. Mistakes are fine (unlike in blogs, where we tend to publish only the finished works), interactions are encouraged.

First Person by Rituparno Ghosh

This is a collection of columns Ghosh wrote. He was a critically acclaimed director (and actor) of mostly Bengali films known for his aesthetics and sensitivity. On top of that, he was also an LGBTQ activist. I know a few people who used to be homophobes but changed their opinion after watching his works.

We are all constantly bombarded with information, a lot of it is really good information too, but the challenge is absorbing it and applying it to the context of our lives and careers.

This is a core problem of the social-media-era internet. Through 'feeds', we have a continuous stream of knowledge, and it feels like we are aware of the world around us, finding a good footing here. However, in truth, we know and understand very little about what is happening.

This is wholesome. All we ever see is companies trying to push you to buy a new one.
