25th December I think Indian stock markets are overvalued. However, this being a bull market, and the crazy amount of liquidity thanks to crazy periods of low interest rates, I don't think shorting the market is the best option. Macroeconomics are expected to improve. IMO, stocks that make up indexes are fully priced. I n this market, covered call is not a bad strategy. Buy futures or stocks and short slightly in the money call as the market is expected to consolidate. A deep protective put is advisable to protect against a black swan event. It is similar to selling a put but with futures or stocks ,  you can rollover your position, this being a bull market and all. If liquidity dries up, markets are sure to tank as it is not really feasible to sustain such high multiples for long durations. 12th January Interest rates may be very low is US but they are not low in India. Hence, valuations of India and US is not apple to apple comparison. 18th January Markets seem to be g...

I think I will have to make peace with the fact that people are going to rub their lives in my face. Doesn't matter much to me though. My life is more or less over. There is no life without dignity and self respect. The only thing that can give meaning to my life is revenge. Everything was manipulated. Everybody makes mistakes. My mistakes were magnified 1000 times just to make an example out of me. Friends, revenge is the only way to give meaning to my life. I am pretty sure they are using a backdoor or a bug in android to fuck with my mobile. The more you do nothing, the more they fuck with you. Once you get root access, all you need to do is make some calls to the linux kernel. Another way could be to override permissions. I am going to learn networking and linux to hack mobiles and computers. My background in programming and ec degree should help some. Then I will invade privacy and annoy people by shutting down their phones, slowing their apps, hacking the net etc. I think ...

I don't know why but for some reason MIT guys are hell bent on making a fool out of me. Sorry to disappoint you guys.

I think I am a borderline sociopath. Maybe it is a good thing.

I am pretty lazy, mostly introverted, and generally like to be left alone. Small talk doesn't do it for me. Social conventions make sense to me but they do not appeal to me. I can't blindly follow the herd. There is some defect in my hardwiring. I like to associate with open minded, intellectual, and fun kind of people(I hate pseudo intellectuals). I like to let my hair down once in a while. I also have a sarcastic and comic side. In general, I am a kind and polite person. But I do not mind calling a spade a spade. I am sometimes outspoken and can be pretty opinionated. I do not like superficiality in any aspect of life. Some of the reasons why I do not like Indian culture. Lately, I have developed a less materialistic and more spiritual outlook towards life (sour grapes :) ). I always knew I had an artsy and philosophical side in me. The side has started to surface lately. I have ADD and to some extent spatial dyslexia. Years of mistreatment has left me scarred. I don't...

It is all biological. A lot if it has got to do with alleviating boredom. I don't feel the need to connect. 

To understand bitcoin, origin and adoption of currency should be understood. Barter system was the trade mode in the olden days.

IMO, science can reconcile with religion if we consider different frames of references.

In the traditional evolutionary paradigm, physical strength was of utmost importance as physical strength was crucial to survival. This led to the subjugation of women by men. Women were relegated to providing comfort and support by using their charms, raising children, doing chores etc. All this resulted in biological hardcoding. However, due to considerable advancements in various fields , physical strength is no longer the most important factor. This gives women an equal chance. Moreover, evolution of pre-frontal cortex allows us to override the hardwiring and make better decisions. Empathy etc. probably also play a role. Some women still subscribe to the traditional evolutionary paradigm. Some want to break free and declare themselves feminist. Some want the best of both worlds. Since a lot of it is hardcoded, it is sometimes difficult to understand each other. Where do I stand? I am all for equal rights. But we need to start speaking the same language. A balance needs to be str...

I read that Indian websites typically pay only Re 1 per word. Doesn't make sense to pursue content writing in this form. Too much work and little pay. I think the max is Re. 5 per word. Still not worth it. Writing original content requires a lot of time and work. Rehashing is a different thing. I guess writing is easy work with almost no entry barrier, hence low pay. It can be pursued for sustaining myself.

Wouldn't it lead to inflation? Where will the money come from? I suppose government will have to print money.  And money printing will sooner or later lead to inflation. Providing a hydroponic kit to people who don't have access to food can be helpful.

Everyone wants a life of happiness. Everyone wants to maximize their happiness. What if I do the opposite? I want to maximize my pain. Lets see how that goes. Stop worrying about happiness. Instead want pain. Could your brain rewire itself? Instead of seeking happiness, it will start seeking pain. Well, I don't think it will rewire. I will not associate with anyone who was involved in this game in any form. I dont need anything my friends. Just want to suffer. There is nothing you can do to induce me to better my life. So many people suffer. It doesn't matter if I also suffer and lead a miserable life. I have made peace with the fact that my life is going to be miserable. Perhaps defiance till death will give me peace in death at least. Life with my family is painful and suffering. The pain resurfaces. I know whatever happened with me should not be a big deal for a grown man. But it is hard to move past it. Maybe revenge will ease my pain. Maybe not. How do I know? Only way ...

My main desire is to live away from society. I don't want to do anything with this fucked up and messed up society. Live alone and pursue philosophy and writing. I am sick of this world.

The Bet is an interesting short story by Anton Chekov. I think it applies to my life. If anyone is interested in laying out a similar bet with me, I will take it without hesitation.

Expose your weak side and you get to see the real self of people. Especially my sister. She has been a pretty big bitch the whole time. Trying to turn everyone against me. Trying to elicit something negative about everyone from me by feeding me leading questions. She has been trying to undermine me the whole time.

It can reconcile various ideologies. I think consciousness is the juncture where all the signals meet. Phenomenal binding as referred by David Pearce.

I think Black Mirror has got a lot of futuristic elements. One episode is based on something very similar to Neuralink. A few come close to the mobile obsessed culture and tech enabled voyuerism and vicarious living. One episode took inspiration from the pagerank algo to social rank algo. I think we are truly becoming tech zombies (I live in a small village where tech penetration is quite low, so it doesnt affect me.).  Dont you think it is time we became more selective in our approach to technology? IMO, first we need to do an honest evaluation of technology in every aspect of our lives and the benefits and harms associated with it. Then we need to evaluate the need for further progress in that particular field. My personal opinion is pro tech. But the gross misuse or abuse concerns me. A vicious cycle of tech slavery is perpetuated with the advent of each tech.

IMO, social media is going to be one of the main reasons of degradation of society. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc.  may provide relief from boredom but they will eventually result in a movement towards fake culture. The nosedive episode of Black Mirror captures the phenomena pretty well.

I am going to create a mind map sort of thing to explain human behavior.

Why would anyone want to bring a child in this horrible world?, I sometimes wonder. A similar sentiment is echoed by Morgan freeman in the movie seven. This world is no place for simple people.

60 Thousand - Dilip Singh Bahut Paisa - Praveen Sharma Some torture - Monal Narsaria Samdhi - jagdish prasad narsaria Snitch, tall references kapil vohra Mission Impossible - Chatbot anti tech, anti english and some more torture -Durga Prasad Agarwal Most of it orchestrated by my sister. She says we will let the people form independent opinion. All hogwash. Everything is manipulated. Call Signals 1. Not reachable - I am better than them. 2. Not picking - They are better than me. 3. No. of rings - Slightly better not to talk. 4. Picking - Equal to talk.

What if a different big bang in a different universe resulted in a different set of matter properties? Or perhaps our own universe's big bang resulted in a different set of matter properties.

I envision a life free from expectations, schedules, daily drudgery. 

I am all for it. It sounds a bit harsh. Hear me out. Human life is not precious. Why? We are animals, just evolved. Animal life is not precious.  We have finite resources. We should not waste it on delinquents. We are responsible for making a better society. Better spend it on people who can actually contribute to society. The harm caused by reentry of delinquents in the society outweigh the potential benefits of rehabilitating them. Reconviction rates are very high. Criminals and lawyers have made a mockery of the whole system. Makes one rethink the benefits of correction systems.  Harsher punishments will deter future crime. Sooner or later we will have to priortize. The sooner we do, the better it will be for the whole world.
