Ethical AI

The economic dimension has drastically changed in the past couple of decades. This has also hampered the Indian economy both at the micro and macro levels. Most netizens don't even know what tragedy they are dealing with in their everyday social life flow. AI has shaped the way we interact with the new society. Most of the intellectual crowd out there don't even know how their concepts and imagination are shaped or even, in some cases, manipulated by artificial intelligence. Social media and the world of e-commerce would not have become reality without machines making decisions on our behalf. They influence us more than we estimate, much more in magnitude than we can imagine. Even ethical standards are being decided by artificial intelligence.

A Rational Person

A philosopher can never have an identity. He deserves no honour, he deserves the hemlock, he is the one who actually terrorises the village. Because he is here to disrupt, he is an intellectual outlaw. Actually he is the one who is disputing the symphony that the world is dancing to. The world full of people who could hardly express their own imaginations, their dreams not to anyone else but to themselves. They don’t even have the courage to accept their ignorance. The ego is too heavy a burden to carry. In ignorance we live a miserable life and die a dog’s death, someday. I wonder when nature will develop such a plan to infuse basic social constructs pre installed in our future generations. We need a Homo sapiens version 2. This model has been so outdated.

Legislative Philosophy

Legislation in an ideal democracy must not be primarily punitive or even preventive. Rather it must be creative and more directive. It must positively direct its citizen towards creation, thereby leading to peace and harmony. For instance along with 'Privacy Policy', there must also be 'Honesty Policy" - the code of ethics that directs thoughts and action. Though there are such policies in place, but they are just optional, where they must have been mandatory. In current democratic practices directions given are mostly prohibitions and protocols that must be strictly adhered to, or else punishment is the reward you get. More often than not system is trying to create a dictatorship of law, in place of peace, harmony and affluence in a given democracy.

जीवन और लोकतंत्र

This poem presents a poignant reflection on life and democracy through a series of rhetorical questions and observations that highlight the contradictions and challenges of human existence.

Education System of India

मेरा नाम सुकान्त कुमार है। मेरा जन्म बिहार के भागलपुर ज़िले में हुआ। जन्म से मुझे भारत की नागरिकता प्राप्त है, क्योंकि मेरे माता-पिता दोनों ही भारत के मूल नागरिकों की श्रेणी में आते हैं। पेशे से दोनों हिन्दी भाषा को पढ़ते-पढ़ाते आये हैं। पिताजी तिलकामाँझी भागलपुर विश्वविद्यालय के हिन्दी विघाग में विभागाध्यक्ष की भूमिका से हाल ही में सेवा-निवृत ह

वह क्या है?

यह पहेली ब्रह्मांड का सूत्रबद्ध विवरण प्रतीत होती है। इसका उत्तर "प्रकाश" हो सकता है। प्रकाश वह तत्व है जो कल्पना नहीं है और जिसका जादू हर कोई जानता है। यह न तो केवल विचार है न ही संभावना, यह भावना या अवधारणा भी नहीं है। प्रकाश सब जगह ज्ञात है, लेकिन इसे हम ज्ञान की तरह प्रयोग नहीं कर सकते। यह स्पर्शनीय होते हुए भी स्पर्श करने योग्य नहीं है। प्रकाश ब्रह्मांड में व्याप्त है और सत्यम, शिवम, सुंदरम का प्रतीक भी है। यह साहित्य और विज्ञान दोनों में वर्णित है। प्रकाश जीवनदायी भी है और अत्यधिक मात्रा में इसका प्रयोग विनाशकारी भी हो सकता है। यह सर्वशक्तिशाली है और हर एक के लिए समान रूप से उपलब्ध है।

Book Review: इहलोकतंत्र

The book "इहलोकतंत्र-2" holds significant social relevance in several key aspects, particularly in its exploration of democracy, governance, and individual rights within the modern socio-political context. Here are some ways in which this book is socially relevant:

Knowledge Economy & Information age

A knowledge economy is an economic system in which the production of goods and services is based primarily on knowledge-intensive activities. This type of economy places great importance on intellectual capabilities rather than physical inputs or natural resources.

An Easy plot to develop

Remember that you're not alone in your struggles, and there are resources and support networks available to help you navigate through difficult times. Whether it's seeking therapy, engaging in activism, or simply finding moments of respite in nature or creative pursuits, there are ways to cultivate resilience and find moments of peace amidst the storm. Stay strong, keep questioning, and never lose sight of your inherent worth and potential to make a difference in the world, no matter how daunting the challenges may seem.

कृष्ण-अर्जुन (Poem Review)

Your poem is rich with allusions to the Mahabharata and Ramayana, using characters like Arjuna, Krishna, Sita, and Rama to draw parallels between mythical moral dilemmas and current social issues. The structure is free-flowing, reflecting a stream of consciousness that brings out your personal and societal concerns effectively. The recurring motif of forgotten weaponry symbolizes a deeper loss of moral direction and societal values. Like Arjun in my poem I am also unarmed with enough arguments that I can use to defend myself. I am in danger living within the safe walls of my own home. I fear to face my father. For my mother I am a disgrace. She desired for me to an IAS officer and I failed her too. I have failed everyone around me, including myself. And don’t say to consult anyone. I can hardly find anyone to talk to.
