1) A generation of students were ruined by communist propaganda in the 1960s and 1970s. They went on to become naxals, and communist ideologues. Most of their lives were ruined, and with little support system in place, most of their families were also ruined completely.

2) Now, a few naxals/ideologues did manage to go abroad, secure nice, cushy positions for themselves, and become anti-India/anti-Hindu bigots from their overseas sinecures. But these were the exception, not the norm. Most naxals faced police ruthlessness and were ruined.
3) Is this a career to recommend to kids? That they can be the lucky 1 in a thousand who will catch the eye of some politically powerful figure in the west, who can/will sponsor their entry into the western system? Western humanities graduates are themselves without jobs now!
4) It is like claiming that someone should drop out of college and become Bill Gates! Sure, there have been Bill Gateses who became multi-billionaires after dropping out of college. But most college drop outs went on to become ruined, or are working low paying jobs today!
5) For those dreaming that they will find a western sponsor who will facilitate their entry into the western system, wake up, please! There isn't a lot of hope for you getting lucky, when western humanities graduates themselves have few skills and fewer jobs.
6) Western outrage mobs are mostly made up of humanities graduates with no jobs. They are the [western] BA-pass characters, with few marketable skills, and fewer prospects in life of coming up ever. So, they do outrageous things in the hope of catching the eye of powerful people.
7) In a sense, western outrage culture is the same as jihadi culture. The lower born lot have to take more and more outrageous risks to rise up in the dog-eat-dog left-liberal world. A few get lucky. Most end up dead or ruined. The rich and powerful rise on their corpses.
8) It seems a recurring phenomenon. There was a similar generation just before/during WW1, when a lot of middle class kids got ruined on the alter of Communism. There was another generation in the 1960s-70s. Now, it seems another such generation is building up.
9) Those that rose up during this generation were either very lucky [ala Munzenberg] or more likely, the well connected elites, who let the idiots die for them [ala Nehrus, Sartres, etc]. These champagne socialists rose on the corpses of idiots, same as current western liberals.
10) So, for any wannabe `activist', let the lives of the ruined Naxals of the previous generation be a template. You are a hundred times more likely to get ruined than to get lucky in this dog-eat-dog leftist political world. No one will save you or care for you.
11) You have a responsibility to yourself, to your family and your society. In the end, if you ruin yourselves with your leftist activism, do you want to end up as a burden to everyone? Is that the life you contemplate for yourself? A loser and wastrel that battens on family?

Thank you so much to the incredible @gregjenner and his team for having me on "You're Dead to Me" and to @kaekurd for being so hilarious and bringing Gilgamesh the restaurant into my life!

Here’s a thread of some of the stuff referenced in the podcast for those interested


First of all, what even is cuneiform?

It’s a writing system from the ancient Middle East, used to write several languages like Sumerian and Akkadian. Cuneiform signs can stand for whole words or syllables. Here’s a little primer of its evolution
https://t.co/7CVjLCHwkS


What kinds of texts was cuneiform used to write?

Initially, accounting records and lists.

Eventually, literature, astronomy, medicine, maps, architectural plans, omens, letters, contracts, law collections, and more.


Texts from the Library of Ashurbanipal, who ruled the ancient Assyrian empire when it was at its largest in the 7th century BCE, represent many of the genres of cuneiform texts and scholarship.

Here’s a short intro to the library via @opencuneiform https://t.co/wjnaxpMRrC


The Library of Ashurbanipal has a complicated modern and ancient history, which you can read about in this brilliant (and open access) book by Prof @Eleanor_Robson

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!
