When Bosses Shared the Profits
After the bruising crises we’re now going through, it would be wonderful if we could somehow emerge a fairer nation. One possibility is to revive an old idea: sharing the profits.
The original idea for businesses to share profits with workers emerged from the tumultuous period when America shifted from farm to factory. In December 1916, the Bureau of Labor Statistics issued a report on profit-sharing, suggesting it as a way to reduce the “frequent and often violent disputes” between employers and workers, thereby “fostering the development of a larger spirit of harmony and cooperation, and resulting, incidentally, in greater efficiency and larger gains.”
That same year, Sears, Roebuck and Co., one of America’s largest corporations, with 30,000 to 40,000 employees, announced a major experiment in profit-sharing. The company would contribute 5 percent of net earnings, without deduction of dividends to shareholders, into a profit-sharing fund. (Eventually the company earmarked 10 percent of pretax earnings for the plan.) Employees who wished to participate would contribute 5 percent of their salaries. All would be invested in shares of Sears stock. The plan’s purpose, according to The New York Times, was to “to engender loyalty and harmony between employer and employee.” In reviewing its first three years, The Times noted that 92 percent of Sears’s employees had joined up and that “the participating employee not only found an ever-increasing sum of money to his credit, but eventually discovered he was a shareholder in the corporation, with a steadily growing amount of stock to his name.”
Sears’s plan was admirably egalitarian. Distributions of shares were based on years of service, not rank, and the longest-serving workers received nearly $3 for every dollar they contributed. By the 1950s, Sears workers owned a quarter of the company. By 1968, the typical Sears salesman could retire with a nest egg worth well over $1 million in today’s dollars. Other companies that joined the profit-sharing movement included Procter & Gamble, Pillsbury, Kodak, S.C. Johnson, Hallmark Cards and U.S. Steel — some because it seemed morally right, others because it seemed a means to higher productivity.
Profit-sharing did give workers an incentive to be more productive. It also reduced the need for layoffs during recessions, because payroll costs dropped as profits did. But it subjected workers to the risk that when profits were down, their paychecks would shrink. And if a company went bankrupt, they’d lose all their investments in it. (Sears phased out its profit-sharing plan in the 1970s and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2018.) The best profit-sharing plans came in the form of cash bonuses that employees could invest however they wished, on top of predictable base wages.
Profit-sharing fit perfectly with the evolution of the American corporation. By the 1950s, most employees of large companies had spent their entire working lives with the company. Companies and their employees were rooted in the same communities. C.E.O.s typically worked their way up, and once at the top rarely earned more than 20 times the average wage of their employees (now they’re often paid more than 300 times more). Over a third of private-sector workers were unionized. In 1958 the United Auto Workers demanded that the nation’s automakers share their profits with their workers.
Some remnants of profit-sharing remain today. Both Steelcase Inc., an office-furniture maker in Grand Rapids, Mich., and the Lincoln Electric Company, a Cleveland-based manufacturer of welding equipment, tie major portions of annual wages to profits. Publix Super Markets, which operates in the Southeast, and W.L. Gore, the maker of Gore-Tex, are owned by employee stock ownership plans. America still harbors small worker cooperatives owned and operated by their employees, such as the Cheese Board Collective in my hometown Berkeley, Calif.
But since the 1980s, profit-sharing has almost disappeared from large corporations. That’s largely because of a change in the American corporation that began with a wave of hostile takeovers and corporate restructurings in the 1980s. Raiders like Carl Icahn, Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken targeted companies they thought could deliver higher returns if their costs were cut. Since payrolls were the highest cost, raiders set about firing workers, cutting pay, automating as many jobs as possible, fighting unions, moving jobs to states with lower labor costs and outsourcing jobs abroad. To prevent being taken over, C.E.O.s began doing the same.
This marked the end of most profit-sharing with workers. Paradoxically, it was the beginning of profit-sharing with top executives and “talent.” Big Wall Street banks, hedge funds and private-equity funds began doling out bonuses, stock and stock options to lure and keep the people they wanted. They were soon followed by high-tech companies, movie studios and start-ups of all kinds.
Even before tens of millions of Americans lost their jobs and incomes in the current pandemic, the pay of the typical worker had barely risen since the mid-1970s, adjusted for inflation. Meanwhile, ever-greater wealth continues to concentrate at the very top.
Since 2000, the portion of total national income going to American workers has dropped farther than in other rich nations. A steadily larger portion has gone into corporate profits, which have been reflected in higher share prices. But a buoyant stock market doesn’t help most Americans. The richest 1 percent now own half the value of all shares of stock; the richest 10 percent, 92 percent.
Those higher share prices have come out of the pockets of workers. Daniel Greenwald at M.I.T.’s Sloan School of Management, Martin Lettau at the University of California’s Haas School of Business and Sydney Ludvigson at N.Y.U. found that from 1952 to 1988, economic growth accounted for all the rise in stock values, but from 1989 to 2017, growth accounted for just 24 percent. Most came from “reallocated rents to shareholders and away from labor compensation” — that is, from workers.
Jeff Bezos, who now owns 11.1 percent of Amazon’s shares of stock, is worth $165 billion overall. Other top Amazon executives hold hundreds of millions of dollars of Amazon shares. But most of Amazon’s employees, including warehouse workers, don’t share in the same bounty.
If Amazon’s 840,000 employees owned the same proportion of their employer’s stock as Sears workers did in the 1950s — a quarter of the company — each would now own shares worth an average of about $386,904.
There are many ways to encourage profit-sharing. During this pandemic, for example, Congress should prohibit the Treasury or the Federal Reserve from bailing out any corporation that doesn’t share its profits with its employees.
It’s impossible to predict what kind of America will emerge from the crises we’re now experiencing, but the four-decade trend toward higher profits and lower wages is unsustainable, economically and politically. Sharing the profits with all workers is a logical and necessary first step to making capitalism work for the many, not the few.

“The Other Guys” wants cops to go after the real criminals
Tumblr media
Before director/writer Adam McKay pivoted into populist screed’s against capitalism and political corruption in films like “Vice” and “The Big Short” he was largely known as one of the many “dumb comedy” directors working in Hollywood.
In fact, with major productions such as “Anchorman,” “Talladega Nights,” and “Step Brothers” he could almost be billed as THE dumb comedy director or certainly THE Will Ferrell director at least.
Tumblr media
(To a certain extent, THE John C. Reilly director too.)
Those movies are certainly divisive amongst some filmgoers, as you either fall into the “turn your brain off and laugh” category or the “this is pure nonsense” crowd. I’m somewhat in the middle on all of it but one McKay/Ferrell vehicle provided a bridge between the “dumb comedy” years and his more serious satires of American politics and that movie was 2010’s “The Other Guys.”
Billed as just another parody of buddy cop flicks, “The Other Guys” is a comedy that still holds up pretty well by today’s standards. Mark Wahlberg in many ways plays an unhinged caricature of every tough guy persona he has ever played in detective Hoitz and perhaps more brilliantly Ferrell, as detective Gamble, is allowed to be the straight man of the duo for change, finding humor in a more subdued performance. Together they form a kinetic duo that play hilariously well off each other in a film that is rarely dull from start to finish.
youtube
(Flawless logic here in the famous Tuna vs Lion debate)
“The Other Guys” takes some decent shots at the violent nature of cop culture from excessive police overreach in the film’s hilarious opening scene to cops’ shoot first ask questions later approach with detective Hoitz backstory involving shooting Dereck Jeter during game 7 of the World Series. In between more typical Ferrell comedy flare involving hot wives and ex-wives, hobo sexy orgies, and TLC references there’s a lot of pointed, tongue-in-cheek humor at the police that one can find great humor in.
It’s a descent satire of the cop movie and the culture around law enforcement on this alone but McKay’s real target isn’t the police so much as it is who the police aren’t going after.
youtube
(For the record, peacocks and cops, for that matter, don’t fly.)
2008 probably feels like eons ago to many of you at this point but it was the year I personally came of age. I had graduated high school, The Lakers were good again, “The Dark Knight” and “Iron Man” had just come out, I had hopes and dreams as I entered college at San Jose State and oh…the Great Recession had just started!
I’m not going to go into extreme detail here but our economy had it’s worse collapse since the Great Depression caused by the subprime mortgage crisis due to vast widespread failures in financial regulation, breakdowns in corporate governance, vast trading and over borrowing, housing bubbles bursting, and heads of businesses just vastly ill-equipped to handle their hubris in that moment.
Major businesses and banks were on the verge of collapsing and then at the last minute the US government passed a $700 billion, with a capital B, bailout to put them all back in the green.
Corporations like Bank of America, Citi Group, Morgan Stanley etc received between $10-$25 billion each for their struggles and were able to stay alive in the country’s ever worsening state. This was great, except 2.6 million average working-class people lost their jobs during this period, including my father.
By the way, a guy like Joseph Casano, an executive at AIG, got a $34 million bonus for helping lead companies such as his into the recession.
Tumblr media
This is McKay’s real target in “The Other Guys.” The satirical cop humor is largely window dressing to draw audiences in to the theaters so that he can show all of them who the real criminals of this country are.
As the plot of the story starts to kick into full gear the more obvious culprits of a typical Hollywood cop movie are dismissed. Though Hoitz is convinced it’s more the usual cop movie style villains of “sex and drug traffickers” at first, Gamble slowly pieces together a plot of dastardly insider trading. What it ends up being is that the bad guy is really just a doofus hedge fund manager named David Ershon played comically by Steve Coogan who made one too many bad investments to bad people.
Ershon has put his people and the people he owes money to deeper into the red, not at all unlike the wealthy CEOs and bankers who messed up the country during the 2008 recession, and it has led him to take desperate action to get everyone’s money back. Ershon, of course, tries to get Hoitz and Gamble off his tale by bribing them in a variety of hilarious ways (one of the funnier sequences of the film) but eventually gets caught up with the SEC and those who prosecute white collar crime (who are unsurprisingly also in bed with the people he owes money to).
youtube
(Somehow, I don’t think this is far off from reality...)
Hoitz and Gamble continue on the case but find that taking on white collar crime is…complicated to say the least but most importantly ineffectual as detailed in this scene.
youtube
(Again, probably not far off from reality...)
The 2008 recession, wiped out millions of jobs, with rural parts of the country getting hit the hardest and in many ways still feeling the effects today. If you were a POC you were even more unlikely to not recover from the crash. Property values plummeted, student high education success rates dropped, opiod overdoses from “unemployment deaths” and many more awful things happened during this period of great economic distress.
And what happened to the folks largely responsible for causing this mess? They got a fat fucking payday and a dismissive finger wag largely by our own government.
“The Other Guys,” more or less, ends the same way. Despite putting away Ershon, the company he was swindling, who gambled their people’s money, was still bailed out by the US government. A real “happy ending” that is played as a dark, matter of fact, joke before the credits roll.
Tumblr media
(Again, we laugh but how far off from reality is this really?...)
I graduated from college in 2013, tens of thousands in debt from student loans and trying to navigate a largely bereft job market where wages had largely not changed in as many years. In 2008 average rent cost about $850 a month, by 2013 it was $953, today in 2020 it’s $1,097. The average entry level salary (for a clerical/ office professional) between 2008 and 2018 went from $46,886 to $45,882 showing a decrease in value.
In 2008 the richest man in the world, Warren Buffet, was worth $64 billion. The richest man in 2020, Jeff Bezos, is worth $200 billion.
If the fact that Jeff Bezos is worth more than some countries on this planet doesn’t make you infuriated alone I don’t know what will.
Btw Buffet’s net worth increased as well to $79 billion himself, in case you think it’s “unfair” to compare him to Bezos.
Sometimes I think the reason people aren’t angrier about this worldwide is 1) a bunch of us think we are all one hard working day away from being filthy fucking rich ourselves, one of the many great lies of capitalism and 2) many of us don’t actually know just how big a BILLION dollars is, so here let me help you all out:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With COVID in 2020 we’re seeing it all happen again, just as it did in 2008. Record unemployment rates, small businesses closing, evictions skyrocketing because no one can pay rent and all we got for it was a $1,200 band-aid (assuming you did get yours). Meanwhile billionaire slugs like Bezos and Elon Musk saw their net worth rise sharply during this period, hell even the fucking Lakers got a $4.6 million dollar “small business” loan (though they did return it…only after getting caught…).
The highest sum of cash ever stolen from a bank was $18.1 million (equivalent to roughly $30.1 million now) in 1997. These are the people cops and other “loose cannons” in popular actions movies are usually running up against. If you think stealing $30.1 million is a lot of money worth sending the cops over then $700 billion of our own tax dollars given to people who ruined the lives of millions of Americans should make you fucking furious. The only real difference here is one was made legal by our own elected government.
Adam McKay’s “The Other Guys” may be on its surface just another “dumb comedy” that mostly satirizes cops, but its villains are very real and unfortunately as American as apple pie. Under capitalism our labor only continues to get devalued every year (even the skilled positions), while the richest 1% of the human race only get fatter with their wealth. Things are only getting more expensive and the working man is getting priced out of more and more daily luxuries and even essentials. This way of life is not sustainable, especially for our environment which these dragons continue to plunder, and eventually we will need to actually hold our overlords accountable for letting it get this far.
If we don’t, they will continue to steal every penny in our pocket and bleed us dry until the next disposable drone can fill our place. If law enforcement won’t take this on, sooner or later we might have to…

StarF’s Top Ten Albums of 2018
Ah yes, it’s time for the one time a year that I use Tumblr these days. We’re already roaring well into 2019 but it’s about that time that I let you know my top ten picks for the previous year! For anyone new here, if you’re screaming “BUT IT’S MID-FEBRUARY!” you can cool your jets, because I always wait a month or so to let any late-year straggler releases really set in, and give everything time to breathe. I wouldn’t want to include an album just because it was recent in memory, or exclude anything by jumping the gun!
As I type this I want you to know that I haven’t at this moment solidified my top ten. I have a rough idea, but it’s tough this year, let me tell you. 2018 had SO MANY great releases, and so many consistent releases, that it’s painful for me to only choose ten. But alas, that’s the system that I’ve chosen, and so ten must emerge. Here they are:
10. The Grammar Club - Live Slow. Die Whenever.
Tumblr media
2018 marked the return of The Grammar Club in a big way. They had previously resurrected the project through the use of Patreon, but this was the official release of a bunch of the songs that came out of that (and I believe a handful of songs that weren’t released on Patreon? I’m not entirely sure). In any case, Live Slow. Die Whenever. is a goddamn hit factory. Eclectic topic material, catchy hooks, and powerful delivery have made this album a mainstay in my rotation all year.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
9. MC Frontalot - Net Split or, The Fathomless Heartbreak of Online Itself
Tumblr media
Speaking of the return of notable nerdcore artists, MC Frontalot finally released his new album! Previously teased simply as The Internet Sucks it took on what is quite the mouthful of a title and an absolutely amazing cover. Net Split is an interesting album for me personally because it is actually very similar to a concept that I wanted to do years ago, which is to make an album examining how the internet has affected and changed culture through a sociological lens. Net Split isn’t quite as analytical as that description would make it sound, but it is essentially the same idea: a collection of songs examining and criticizing the internet. They are well written, bitingly relevant, and incredibly catchy. The once-eponymous Internet Sucks has gotten stuck in my head probably once every couple days since I first heard it.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
8. Cursive - Vitriola
Tumblr media
This album came as a complete shock to me in the greatest of ways. One day I was browsing my local record shop and saw on the “New Release” board that Cursive had released a new album. I bought it immediately, and didn’t regret a thing. Where Net Split takes a hard look at the internet and what it’s done to us, but in a light and fun way, Vitriola takes a look at society with a sneer and a scowl. This album is dark, moody, and will suck you into its world immediately and not let you go.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
7. EURINGER - EURINGER
Tumblr media
If you’re sad that Mindless Self Indulgence hasn’t released an album since 2013 then rejoice, because EURINGER is gonna be your fix. A new project from Jimmy Urine, this album surely feels like the next logical step from MSI while also breathing some new life of its own. A journey through a warped mind, this album takes its turns being completely in your face and completely wrapped up in its own world. Built like some sort of psychotic 80′s pop fantasy for the modern day, this album surely won’t be for everyone, but it’s a slice of heaven for those it is for.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
6. Marc With A C - Obscurity
Tumblr media
Would it be a StarF top ten list if it didn’t include a Marc With A C album? It would, but it wouldn’t be a very good one! Obscurity is the latest and best album to date from Marc With A C, and there’s good reason for that. To put it short this is the album Marc has wanted to make for quite some time, and now that it’s here it’s clear to see that there was a reason that this was the one. The content walks the line perfectly between light hearted and deadly serious. It’s funny, it’s touching, it’s got something to say, and it’s going to do all of these things in songs that you’re going to be singing by your second spin of the record.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
5. Supercommuter - Trash World
Tumblr media
2018 truly was the year of comebacks, wasn’t it? After seven long years of waiting the third Supercommuter album finally came out and I’m happy to report that the wait was worth it! Trash World takes everything Supercommuter has been doing with the first two albums and continues to expand and elevate the universe they live in. Wheelie Cyberman is sharp as ever both in performance and storytelling aptitude, and the vibe of this album is incredibly cohesive. I am also a huge fan of this cover art, I feel compelled to add in.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
4. Mother Mother - Dance And Cry
Tumblr media
There’s always one album that’s gotta be difficult for me to link to, and this year it’s Mother Mother. How are you gonna have only one of your albums available on Bandcamp and it’s not the most recent one? I digress though, because Dance And Cry is absolutely incredible. It’s weirdly hard to put into words why I love this album so much, but it just makes me feel a way, you know? The title is a perfect summation of what this album has to offer you: upbeat, danceable pop songs that are somewhere between crying because life is hard and because life is beautiful. This album will move you physically and emotionally.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
3. Wordburglar - Rhyme Your Business
Tumblr media
If Mother Mother is going to have you crying while dancing, Wordburglar is here to get you smiling. Also look at that, two Canadian artists in a row, wow! It’s no secret that I love Wordburglar, and to be honest over the last few years he’s become one of my all time favorite rappers. He’s incredibly talented as a lyricist and rapper with an immediately identifiable style. I really cannot say enough good things about him and this album. It’s fun, it’s upbeat, it’s inspiring, and it’s just the tip of the iceburg... if you’ll pardon the pun.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
2. Antarctigo Vespucci - Love In The Time Of E-Mail
Tumblr media
Let me plead my case before I even start talking about this album, because some of you might think I automatically throw anything Jeff Rosenstock or Chris Farren related onto my list and that’s why this is here. You’re wrong! Case in point: Antarctigo Vespucci’s previous record, Leavin’ La Vida Loca didn’t even appear on my list for the year that it came out! Not that I didn’t enjoy that record, but it didn’t really “grab” me immediately, so to speak.
...That was not the case for Love In The Time Of E-Mail, which grabbed me immediately and refused to let go. This album is 43 minutes of power pop madness that will drive its tunes straight into your brain’s core and leave them there to repeat over and over and over again. I can’t stop returning to this album because sure enough each day I wake up with one of the 15 songs in my head. It’s also weird to see that a real trend of 2018, at least on my top ten, is albums that are specifically focused on the internet and what it’s doing to us.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
1. Jeff Rosenstock - POST-
Tumblr media
...oh come on, is anyone even surprised? Listen, it’s the same case as I said above, I wouldn’t include this on my list at all if I didn’t truly feel it belonged here. But here’s the deal: POST- dropped as a surprise on January 1st of 2018. The FIRST day of the year, and over a year later I am still listening to it regularly and finding new reasons to fall in love with this album. I love it for many of the same reasons I love the AV album (big surprise there), but while it shares the same catchy qualities of Love In The Time Of E-Mail, it also does so with a reckless fervor. POST- is an emotional explosion and reaction to our times, and while it may not be my favorite Rosenstock record, it is the perfect record for the time it exists within.

Zero Waste Challenge: Baseline Measurement
In February of 2018, I did a Zero Waste Challenge and chronicled everything I had learned (which also included learning how to film myself and put together videos)! But I was distraught with my not having a baseline of the trash I produce. I wanted to hop right into the challenge, and while that was probably noble, I ended up sacrificing some important knowledge. So, before engaging in Round 2, I spent a month first collecting my trash. Bear in mind that this box of trash does not include recyclables; rather, only things that would end up in a landfill. Recyclables do have more of an impact on the environment than reusable items, but less of an impact than pure garbage.
The average American makes about four pounds of trash per day. My box of trash after one month weighed one pound! I’m going to double that to account for the trash I could not keep for baseline measurement (read below), and I’m happy with my month’s worth of trash weighing half of what the average American produces in a day! After doing my first Zero Waste Challenge, I can see how it adds up. EVERYTHING comes in plastic. You can’t un-see it! Cucumbers at the store are wrapped up in plastic. Produce bags, not just the bags at the checkout, are made of plastic. Little bits of plastic are wrapped around the bottle tops of glass bottles and jugs of kombucha.
In my box of trash, a lot of the garbage came from the meat I had purchased (some of which I could not save because it would have started to smell). In order from most to least frequently-occurring items, it goes: 1) meat packaging products, 2) toiletries and cosmetic products, 3) delivery packaging items, then 4) re-wrap produce plastic bags. Clearly, points 1 and 2 illustrate the areas where I need to improve. This blog post will focus on what I learned in going through my box, backed by what I have learned from my previous challenge and my research about living zerowaste.
A big part of living a zerowaste lifestyle involves going deeper than what we see on the surface, even though a lot of the above examples were right in front of me but out of site. Even bulk items come to the store packaged in something. How about the strain that meat production puts on the environment? Animals use up farmland and substantial amounts of the water supply, and it would probably be more nutritionally beneficial just to eat what the meat eats. Feces and methane are an abundant byproduct from cattle and other meat sources. And then, the uneaten flesh gets tossed out to rot in the garbage (never mind that 40% of the useable food gets wasted in the US and 20% of households live in food insecurity). That is a lot of waste that we don’t see. Consider also this decision: how about deciding whether to drive farther to get zerowaste items? It’s important to stay up-to-date on the latest information. Just because something seems to be zerowaste, unfortunately, doesn’t mean that it is.
When I did my first challenge, I found that reduce waste is a more realistic, achievable goal for the public, but I also found that when I said that to others, I heard a lot of decisions being made based on convenience (e.g. “I forgot my reusable bag but it’s okay because I’m reducing waste”). Reduce waste, to me, means making a logical decision over the grey area issues (of which there are plenty). For example, one of my local grocery stores offers re-wrap produce for a very cheap price; having debated the issue in my head, I feel that it’s the better decision to purchase the re-wrap produce. Yes, I’m producing some plastic waste, but if I had not bought those veggies, the plastic and vegetables would both end up wasted. My cumulative waste production is less by buying the re-wrap produce. Notice: this is not an example of convenience decision-making.
Similarly, even though I have espoused the literature on the environmental impact of meat production, I still eat meat. I have tried my darndest to be a plant-based eater, but I always feel ill after a few days. I do much better when I eat animal protein, so I have incorporated crickets (a substantially more sustainable form of protein even in comparison with vegan substitute products) into my diet. I’ve also reduced the number of animal-based meals I make, replacing them with plant-based meals. I don’t need to eat meat every day! Even so, I often pick up on sale meat (like the re-wrap veggies) because the cumulative waste seems to be less than if I did not purchase the meat. Although, I question the net environmental impact from the source of production and should consider this into the equation. But what about this: it bothers me to think of an animal’s life being so wasted by having been raised in an unethical slaughter house only to have its flesh tossed away. I find that disgusting. I wish we had laws that required so-called “waste” veggies and meat to be donated to those who are literally starving. But, alas, we don’t yet have that. This is another legitimate example of reducing waste versus totally zerowaste. I think this distinction is important to remember. Nevertheless, living either zerowaste or reduced waste is a daily, on-going process of decision-making. Where can we improve? That process starts with looking at a baseline score.
Having discussed already what I learned about the meat-related garbage I produced, deciding to purchase on sale meats and supplementing my diet with cricket protein and plant-based meals to reduce my impact in this area, it’s time for me to process my toiletry garbage. I had a feeling I would end up with a lot of garbage in the former area, based on my first challenge, but I’m feeling a little surprised by the latter. I ended up with empty make-up tubes, shave gel containers, disposable razors, toothbrushes, and miscellaneous cosmetic products. I’ve purchased ecofriendly toothbrushes before… but they come wrapped in plastic. That’s frustrating!
This next month, I was going to focus on producing less than a 12 oz mason jar of trash. I think a better goal, having examined my baseline, is to reduce my wasted toiletries. This next month, for my Zero Waste Challenge, I will chronical what I learn about toiletries.

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
September 17, 2018
Gahd I love it :<<
Okay, first of all, I have just watched Molly’s Game, like, five-six days ago, and I was instantly hooked with Player X, that is, Michael Cera. So, it is very me to search for the characters of the movies I just watched, and it is also very me to just download random movies (I pick from this huge list from the net). So when I searched for Cera and skimmed through his movies, I instantly mentally noted Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (NNIP). The poster is very romance-y and I wasn’t really into romance movies, but I recently watched 500 Days of Summer and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and gahd I just loved those sooo much, and so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try one again (and it’s Cera!). So tonight, I was scrolling through my films and saw NNIP and I knew it’s gonna be a good night (spoiler: it was!).
I loved it. Soooo much. Okay. Some lines I found note-worthy:
“I don’t wanna go. I’m taking a mental health day.” Okay, first line that I thought was really woah. I mean, basically because I wish I could say that as easily as he did (hayz). I also wish I have spare days to take as my ‘Mental Health Day’ too, y’know. I wish we all have that. Kinda like one of those permissible absences we are given in colleges, or leaves in offices. A mental health day off kind of thing.
It could have some repercussions to me tho. I mean, being always reminded to keep our mental health in check kinda had negative reactions to me before. I somehow focused ‘too much’ on my mental health, and ended up overreacting to every little setback I found in my way. I was oversensitive and I just stumbled and stumbled and found it harder to move on because of how easily I was overwhelmed with things.
I mean, I’m not against Mental Health campaigns, sooo not against it. I feel everyone who needs it, everyone who needs help, should be able to get some. It’s just, it kinda didn’t work too well with me, I don’t know. I guess I just didn’t really have the proper guidance when it comes to dealing with my mental health. Bottomline is, yeah, I wish we have that mental health day hehe.
“It’s not that easy, guys. You don’t know what it’s like to be straight. It’s awful.” XDDD I wonder who has it worse, really.
Then we get the Fluffy announcement: “…the rarest show on Earth is rumored to go on after hours so keep an eye out for those little rabbits. You never know where they might lead you.” And you just know Where’s Fluffy’s a metaphor to ‘Where’s Love’, and their journey finding Where’s Fluffy would be Nick and Norah’s journey to love.
“You’re practically blowing him with your eyes.” “You cannot do anybody with your eyes, Caroline…well, you can.” I laughed at this!
I also love how Caroline is like the greatest force moving their story! Also the gum wth HAHA I don’t know what to make of it. It’s disgusting and funny how it was passed onto, like between lovers slash bffs, how the girls took extra care of it, like Caroline picked it up from the toilet, and how Norah slapped Nick’s hands first when he tried to touch it soooo I guess it’s like love? I don’t know HAHA. It was just spat into some random guy in the end tho XD
“Nicky is definitely worth the underwire. He just needs a little push, that’s all.” Aren’t we all?
“…a hundred percent, yknow, gay. Gay every day, all the time.” XDDD I do wonder, are people a hundred percent anything, tho? Everyday, all the time? I mean, aren’t we too changeable to be something all the time?
“I don’t really subscribe to any label.” Man, Nick sure does know things to say. I actually want this tattooed on my forehead right now. Or maybe wear a headband with this sign sticking on top, like taped on the cat ears. Or a hoodie, yep, that’s easier.
“Cherish one another, folks.” <3 Can we all take a moment to stamp this onto our brains.
“…she’s gone. So I think now is the time we cut our losses and go find Fluffy.” I like this scene.
I loved the search party part. I mean, all throughout you could really see and feel their friendship, but the search party part is so fun. I always wished to have those kind of cool nights with friends (I mean, give me car and we definitely will hayz).
“No, just because there was a last bus doesn’t mean she was on the last bus.” This line struck me, yo. Actually I like contemplating on ‘just because there was … doesn’t mean it was …’ logic.
I really find moments when main characters went with ‘hi’ ‘hey’ convo the special ones. And the little things stick with me.
‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand’ idea is pretty cool. (I really don’t know what to type here, it’s one of those ideas you just contemplate on)
“Since when does a queen need an excuse to sing?” Uhh, since when does anyone need an excuse to sing? I also love this Christmas show scene. And the phone booth scene, that’s so sweet!
“…you just feel ignored for long enough and it’s just nice to feel special sometimes.” A very dangerous phrase.
‘my musical soulmate’, I’d like to find mine.
“The way you’re moving in your sleep, the way you look before you leap, the strange illusions that you keep, you don’t know, but I’m noticing.” <3
“the world’s been broken into pieces and it’s everybody’s job to find them and put them back together again.” ‘Maybe we are the pieces’ idea is great!
“Are you sad we missed it?” “We didn’t miss it. This is it.” They found Fluffy <3
---
I have to say, Cera’s smile melts mah heart.
Also, Andy Samberg was in the movie!! I didn’t recognized him in the movie tho, I just saw his name in the credits (yes, we all should finish the credits), and went back and was blown away. I’ve just been obsessed with Brooklyn Nine-Nine, like just this month, share.
Edit: So yeah, I read this blog about why NNIP sucks, and I thought I was a bit too biased writing my thoughts about it. But then I realized, these are my thoughts, of course I could be biased as much as I want to. I write depending on how I felt. And I felt overflowing love watching NNIP. So, some of the character’s may be two-dimensional, and other’s might be too picky about that, but I am not. I focused on the ideas it sparked in me. And there are a lot HAHA. I kinda listed too much lines, but yahh.

She has said that she wants to be a billionaire by 2020, and I think that she will get there.

Data Science
Tumblr media
As tools become simpler to make use of and the people who use them become more obtainable, the worth of Data Science will go down. Current infrastructures for developing big-data functions are able to course of –via big-data analytics- huge quantities of knowledge, utilizing clusters of machines that collaborate to perform parallel computations. However, present infrastructures were not designed to work with the requirements of time-critical applications; they're more targeted on general-purpose purposes than time-critical ones. Addressing this problem from the angle of the real-time methods group, this paper considers time-critical big-data.
The information in normal and defective conditions are simulated through the use of the DT model. Both the simulated knowledge and extracted historical knowledge are utilized to enhance fault prediction. A convolutional neural community for fault prediction might be trained with the generated data which matches the characteristic of the autoclave in defective conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is verified via result analysis. To stand out as a prolific Data Scientist being well versed in machine studying is important. Knowing the methods like logistic regression, decision timber, and so on. can aid the method.
In summary, data science may be due to this fact described as an applied branch of statistics. A large number of fields and subjects, starting from everyday life to conventional analysis fields (i.e., geography and transportation, biology and chemistry, medicine and rehabilitation) involve big information problems. The popularizing of assorted forms of community has diversified varieties, issues, and solutions for large data more than ever before. In this paper, we review current analysis in data sorts, storage fashions, privacy, data security, evaluation methods, and applications associated with network massive information. Finally, we summarize the challenges and development of huge knowledge to foretell present and future tendencies.
Data scientists are responsible for breaking down huge amounts of knowledge into usable information and creating software programs and algorithms that help corporations and organizations decide optimum operations. As knowledge continues to have a serious impression on the world, Data Science does as well due to the close relationship between the two. During the 1990s, in style terms for the method of discovering patterns in datasets included "knowledge discovery" and "data mining". We examine “citizen” data scientists and debate between Jeffersonians, who search to empower on an everyday basis worker with Data Science tools, and Platonists who argue that democratizing data science results in anarchy and overfitting. In the present world, the technology and utility of knowledge is a crucial economic activity. Data Science facilitates it with its power to extract info from massive volumes of information.
It has robust scalability and excessive processing efficiency and has utility and reference value. Data Science is the essence of deriving valuable insights from information. It is emerging to satisfy the challenges of processing very large datasets, i.e. Big Data, with the explosion of new knowledge constantly generated from various channels, similar to good gadgets, net, mobile and social media. Data science is expounded to data mining, machine studying and large data. Digital enterprise is considered one of the necessary and priceless industries' names today and it is the mixture of enterprise and IT elements and its uses.
Rather than performing the info science themselves, they need to prepare and guide the users in changing into self-sufficient. Organizations can establish a formal training program for customers who wish to become citizen Data Scientist. At the tip, customers receive a certification that enables them entry to the tools. As they gain more experience and data they will in turn mentor different business customers. This paper presents a movie recommendation system in accordance with scores that the users present. In view of the film evaluation system, the impacts of entry management and multimedia safety are analyzed, and a secure hybrid cloud storage structure is offered.
It deals with the definition of a time-critical big-data system from the point of view of requirements, analyzing the particular characteristics of some in style big-data applications. This evaluation is complemented by the challenges stemming from the infrastructures that help the functions, proposing an architecture and providing initial performance patterns that join software costs with infrastructure performance. Cloud computing is actually a mechanism used for virtualization IT resources software programs and hardware availability. Cloud computing helps in using less computer hardware together with IT Infrastructure delivery.Use of minimal software with utilization of applications can also be essential features of Cloud Computing and Applications.
This leads us to understand how guidelines of linear algebra operate over arrays of knowledge. We aim to propose some solutions for digital pictures safety, primarily utilizing a probabilistic-randomness method; chaotic maps & chance. Data scientists use Python and R for information preparation and statistical analysis. [newline]Compared to R, Python is used for common objectives, more readable, easier, and offers more flexibility than learning. Moreover, Python is used in a number of verticals apart from Data Science and presents you various purposes. Data Science facilitates firms to leverage social media content to obtain real-time media content material utilization patterns. This permits the companies to create target audience-specific content, measure content performance, and recommend on-demand content material.
By this I imply that there are some critical points that end result from handing these tools to the uninitiated. Such individuals need to combine area data and adequate data science course in hyderabad , presumably with certification”. Innovative data intensive functions similar to health, power, cybersecurity, transport, food, soil and water, sources, advanced manufacturing, environmental Change, and so forth.
In 1974, Peter Naur mentioned the term ‘Data Science’ a number of times in his evaluation, Concise Survey of Computer Methods. In 1977, the International Association for Statistical Computing was shaped to link trendy computer technology, conventional statistical methodology, and domain experience to transform knowledge into data. In the same 12 months, Tukey composed a paper, Exploratory Data Analysis, that briefed the importance of using information. If you’re also planning to explore your Data Science career with EXL, these EXL Data Science interview questions will assist you to prepare higher.
The proposed Hierarchical Multiresolution Time Series Representation model makes use of a buffer-based approach that mixes one-pass stream processing with hierarchical aggregation to attain excessive processing speed without extreme hardware necessities. In addition, this paper presents a brand new representation primarily based on the proposed model, Hierarchical Multiresolution Linear-function-based Piecewise Statistical Approximation. The proposed representation considers fluctuations and continuity of modeled processes to be able to preserve fundamental characteristics of time series at lowered dimensionality. The case study outcomes for the generated data set verify that the proposed mannequin leads to greater and more stable processing speed at decreasing RAM consumption evaluating a related model, particularly when coping with greater number of time resolutions. The case research results for real UK good meter knowledge verify that the proposed representation results in a reduced amount of information loss and an improvement in subsequent time series clustering compared to associated time sequence illustration.
When mixed with languages like Java, C and C++, python turns into extremely adaptive and suitable to make use of. An estimate of eighty eight % have a masters degree whereas forty eight percent have a doctorate. It has become necessary to have an excellent schooling to develop the required deep understanding of a big selection of matters. Most Data Scientists are well versed within the utilization of Hadoop and large knowledge queries. DSS was created to supply a prime worldwide forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts to exchange the most recent advances in Data Science and Data Systems in addition to their synergy.
There is, however, a debate between two teams; Jeffersonians and Platonists. The Jeffersonians argue on behalf of the yeoman farmer, or in this case the yeoman scientist. Being deeply committed to the republicanism of science they are opposed to an aristocracy of knowledge, to an elitism of hackers, material consultants, and statisticians. This leads to higher choice making since they're getting into the details of the model and the info, creating a deeper understanding of what is driving their decisions. Forbes reported that “unicorn Data Scientists”, these special people who are subject matter specialists with hacking and statistical expertise, can earn $240,000 yearly.
2019 is the fifth event following the success in 2015 (DSDIS-2015), 2016 (DSS-2016), 2017 (DSS-2017) and 2018 (DSS-2018). There is still no consensus on the definition of Data Science and it is considered by some to be a buzzword. The existence of Comet NEOWISE was found by analyzing astronomical survey knowledge acquired by a space telescope, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. In order to reply to the outlined questions, descriptive statistics allows you to rework each statement in your data into insights that make sense. Common information buildings , writing capabilities, logic, control flow, looking out and sorting algorithms, object-oriented programming, and dealing with exterior libraries. Most data roles are programming-based apart from a number of things like business intelligence, market evaluation, product analyst, and so forth.

All the pieces have been really falling into place for Python data professionals. We are roughly a decade faraway from the beginnings of the modern machine learning platform, inspired largely by the growing ecosystem of open-source Python-based technologies for data scientists. It’s a good time for us to reflect back upon the progress that has been made, spotlight the most important problems enterprises have with existing ML platforms, and talk about what the subsequent generation of platforms shall be like. As we’ll focus on, we believe the following disruption within the ML platform market will be the growth of data-first AI platforms.
This comprises information that has undefined content and doesn’t fit databases like movies, blog posts, etc. There are exceptional resources to dive deep into math, but most of us aren't made for it, and one doesn’t have to be a gold medalist to learn Data Science. Every Data Science course that I enlisted there required college students to have an honest understanding of programming, math, or statistics. For instance,the most famous course on ML by Andrew Ng additionally depends heavily on the understanding of vector algebra and calculus. Calculus — derivatives and limits, by-product rules, chain rule , partial derivatives , the convexity of features, local/global minima, the math behind a regression model, applied math for coaching a mannequin from scratch.

Kevin Durant’s love of clown shoes might have cost the Nets in the playoffs
Tumblr media
Photo by Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images
Kevin Durant’s foot was on the line in Game 7 shot because he wears his shoes too big.
Kevin Durant did everything he could for the Nets in Game 7 agains the Bucks. One of the greatest individual performances in a playoff series in recent memory, Durant finished the final game with 48 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. With James Harden banged up, and Kyrie Irving out, he put the weight on his shoulders and almost prevailed.
However, one moment from the game is lingering. It appeared that Durant had sent the Nets to the conference finals with a game-winning three at the end of regulation with his team down two. After review, it was determined his foot was on the line.
youtube
The Bucks would go on to win in overtime and end the Nets’ season sooner than anyone expected.
After the game KD blamed his “big ass feet” on not getting all the way behind the arc and burying the game-winner. A little harsh considering without Durant’s heroics the Nets would have been blown out, but interesting nonetheless.
"My big ass foot stepped on the line. I just seen the little screenshot, how close I was to ending they season off that shot, but it wasn't in God's plan." KD on his final shot in regulation: pic.twitter.com/7wnBEUkB8G
— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) June 20, 2021
After the game, Royce Young of ESPN found a story from 2018 and goodness is it weird. Chris Herring of FiveThirtyEight explored Durant’s recurring problem of having his shoes fall off during games, and it was illuminating.
And so to achieve that featherweight feeling, Durant wears a size-18 while on the court — one full size bigger than what he wears when in casual settings.
“These are like slippers, man, and I just try to be as efficient as I can when I create what I want out there. I don’t want something that’s too bulky. So, sometimes they may come off, but the good thing is, I can slip them back on and keep playing.”
Perhaps it wasn’t Durant’s “big ass feet” that caused the Nets to lose, but his clown ass shoes?
Shoe shopping is one of the first real times you learn about clothing sizes as a kid. You go to the store, get your foot put in that weird metal, medieval torture device thing to make sure it’ll fit, then if you’re like my mom, find a pair that offers one toe-knuckle worth of wiggle room to grow into, because we were poor and shoes were too damn expensive.
When you’re an adult that goes away. Generally you buy shoes that fit your feet, unless you find such an extreme bargain on closeout you sacrifice comfort. Shout out the $24.99 pair of Adidas soccer cleats I found at a Ross Dress for Less that gave me blisters my entire rec-league season because they were two sizes too big.
I think you get what I’m saying here: We buy shoes that fit us. It’s not exactly rocket science. KD does not prescribe to this belief, though.
It might be a little presumptuous to blame Durant’s giant shoes on the shot, and doing so also assumes he doesn’t naturally play better in bigger shoes out of comfort. But it’s still wild.
In a sport as technologically advanced, with every iota of the game being measured and scrutinized, here’s one of the league’s biggest stars wearing shoes that are too big for him. It flies in the face of every bit of logic we know about athletic wear, and there’s also something kind of beautiful about that. Here we have billion dollar companies agonizing over getting the perfect fit for athletes, with the right about of support, and decreasing the chance of injury as much as possible — and Kevin Durant is wearing large shoes that feel like slippers.
As complicated as sports can be, it’s fun for the simple things to be the weirdest.

Options Trading System - 5 Steps To Better Options TradingWhat is an Options Trading System?Before sitting down to write this post, I thought I would search the Internet to see what information existed on options trading systems. I was shocked to find that there was barely anything posted on the subject. Seriously! There are hundreds of websites, brokerage firms, and trading services that want to sell you their system. The reality is that very few are able to describe what an options trading system actually is. At its core, an options trading system is a method of generating buy and sell signals through a tested method of stock analysis. The system can be based on any type of option strategy and includes both fundamental and technical analysis. Options trading systems might focus on changes in underlying stock price, volatility, time decay, unusual buy/sell activity, or a combination of these elements. Essentially, it is a checklist of criteria that must be met before trades are entered. When all conditions are met, a signal to buy or sell is generated.

The criteria are different for each type of option trading strategy. Whether it is long calls, covered calls, bear spreads, or selling naked index options, each has its own trading system model. An option trading system that is worth its salt will help you weed out false signals and build your confidence in entries and exits. How Important is an Options Trading System?The options market is very complex. Trading options without a system is like building a house without a blueprint. Volatility, time and stock movement can all affect your profitability. You need to be cognizant of each of these variables. It is easy to be swayed by emotion when the market is moving. Having a system helps to control your reaction to those very natural and normal emotions. How often have you sat and watched a trade lose money the instant your buy order filled? Or, have you ever watched a stock skyrocket in price while you are pondering over whether or not to buy it? Having a structured plan in place is crucial to make sound and objective trading decisions. By creating and following a good system, you can hone your trading executions to be as emotionless and automatic as a computer.

With options, you can control hundreds or thousands of shares of stock at a fraction of the price of the stock itself. A five to ten percent change in the price of a stock can equate to a gain of one hundred percent or more in an option. Try to focus on percentage gains versus dollar amount gains in your trading. It requires a fundamental shift in conventional thinking, but it is crucial to managing a successful trading system. Objectivity - A good options trading system is based on measurable criteria that trigger buy and sell signals. It takes the subjectivity and second guessing out of your trading so you can focus on preset factors that make for an explosive trade. Flexibility - Nearly all options traders will tell you that options allow for flexibility in your trading. Opportunities in the options market make it incredibly easy to profit from short-term positions. With earnings events and weekly options, you can build strategies for overnight gains with clearly defined risk. There are a several ways to profit in any kind of market condition from trending to range bound.

Invariably, the one that has the ability to remain as detached from his losing trades as well as his winning trades while maintaining the discipline to follow the system's rules no matter the trading result will emerge the greatest winner in the end.

Finding Or Creating Your Own Options Trading System That WorksStock Options are wonderful! This clever derivative of the equities market has to be one of the most ingenious inventions of modern times. For the trader who can learn how to win at trading options there are many luxuries in life that can be experienced. Success in options trading requires a consistent approach for long-term success.

This "consistent approach" to options trading can also be called a "trading system", or an "options trading system" in this case. The term "trading system" is not necessarily confined to a series of computerized "black box" trading signals. A trading system could be something as simple as "buy an option on a stock in an uptrend that breaks the high of the previous bar after at least two days of pull back down movement that make lower lows. " A trading system is simply an organized approach that takes advantage of a repeated pattern or event that brings net profits.

The Battle for Our Souls
The biggest casualty of strongmen getting elected that not a lot of people talk or think about, because as Trevor Noah puts ‘Ain’t Nobody Has Time for That’, is the social and personal psyche. There are always two ways to win over, rule or lead people. One is to unite them. To appeal to the similarity, to remind them that there are far more things that unite us than divide us. This is difficult, because humans are evolutionarily primed to focus on the contrasts. Woody Allen once said that if only two people remain on earth after rest of humanity has destroyed itself, the left-handed guy will take on the right handed one. Uniting people is slow painful task where success comes in excruciating increments, where for every one step forward, one risks sliding two back.
Or you could just divide people into tribes that hate each other's guts and make sure your tribe votes harder than theirs. This divide-and-rule strategy is as old as humanity itself, though the motto (divide et impera) is attributed to Philip II of Macedonia. Machiavelli called it an effective strategy to weaken enemies.  British used it in India and advanced into the subcontinent at an astounding pace. And Donald Trump used it to propel himself from a joke candidate to a joke President, only it’s not so funny this time.
Trump has succeeded so well in doing this, that his statement about shooting someone at 5th Avenue in New York and getting away with it seems horrifyingly accurate. In Trump’s tribe, The Man can do no wrong, and any evidence against him make people question the facts themselves. As Trump progresses in office, he keeps alienating his opponents more and more, while his base gets consolidated and strengthened by the day. At this rate 2020 will be less of a battle of ideals and issues and more of a ‘Might-is-Right’ contest between two group.
There was an article in The Economist on how moderates have become an extinct species. Moderate voices will always become a casualty when the discourse takes sharp turn towards ideological extremes. The Republican Party has effectively cannibalised voices with veneer of sanity, and replaced them with gun-toting-Bible-thumping-sons-of-soil; where they would rather vote in a peadophile with tribe loyalty than a moderate critical thinking maverick.
Technology was once a great uniter. It helped the cause of democracy with Arab Spring, India’s Anti-Corruption movement, Net Neutrality and so much more. We elevated the Techpreneurs to messianic figures proclaiming the gospel of hyper-connectedness and outreach. Today, we have to an extent confronted the damage these glorified advertising corporations and their tools can inflict on the state of the nation. The Cambridge Analytica scandal has cast Mark as the villian. The fact remains though that it is foolish of us to feign shock over what we always suspected, and in fact knew, these Ad-holes were up to, and that we would gladly give up privacy for the convenience of sharing a selfie of us with our breakfasts.
The mechanism employed to delegitimise the opponent is straight out of Joseph Goebbels playbook. By constantly referring to your opponents with an unkind adjective, like ‘Crooked Hillary’, ‘Low-Energy Jeb’, ‘Lying Ted’, he is making sure these people are dehumanised and reviled by his support base. Constantly badgering people with lies like election fraud, wiretapping, ‘witch hunt’ and crowd size makes the fan base buy into the idea of widespread conspiracy. Hell, Trump has even thrown FBI into jeopardy to increase his support among his base.
The ruling party in India has adopted a similar strategy to delegitimise opposition, with its highly effective social media machinery belting out catchphrases and blurbs like ‘Pappu’ and aggressively sharing memes about how great their Exalted Highness is. The discourse has descended into primitive tribalism so badly, that the supporters are finding it difficult to see any wrong in the rape of an eight year old girl. Systematic, some subtle and some not so subtle, efforts to equate loyalty and blind Nationalism to patriotism is underway. Party spokespersons ask us to be grateful that people are not jailed for speaking out against the government. Leaders bayed for arrest of the family after a man was lynched for alleged possession of beef, conveniently ignoring the brutal mob justice part or even describing the mob as innocent! That the most populous state in the country is now ruled by a fanatic whose government does not regard Taj Mahal as a monument worthy of endorsement. School textbooks are being tweaked to suit the ideology of the ruling party, extolling the virtues of debatable schemes rolled out by the government and disregarding achievements of previous governments.
That’s all OK, but what’s it got to do with you and me?
Tumblr media

Valid question. That takes us to where we started. Let’s begin with Trump. Everytime the POTUS tweets, that becomes the news. Trump is keenly aware of this. And he was a reality TV star. So he keeps peppering them with generous doses of outrageous statements. Martin Scorsese used a similar trick to get Taxi Driver approved with R rating with its bloody scenes. MPAA wanted to give the film an X, but by submitting the film uncut again and again, he desensitised the censors and got them to give an R. We now accept that the leader of the free world will bully anybody who opposes him using unkind words absolutely unbecoming of a man of his stature. We accept that a president can just support Nazis and not expect impeachment at all. As the administration turns the government into a cemetery, the public is letting smaller skeletons slide. In India, the fringe has come out of hiding. We are finding it okay, and even legitimate that there be a sound logic to murder of a senior journalist for her strong views against The Party. Demonising minority community and dissing them openly is becoming more and more mainstream. Leaders who have called for violence against the minorities, who have engineered riots, who have made fake exodus claims, are now finding themselves elected and popular, because they work ‘18 hours’ a day and ‘transfer non-performing bureaucrats’. That when a violent opposition towards a mediocre period drama resulted in a school bus with kids getting stones pelted, the social media devotees defended by commenting at least nobody was injured.  That when pointed about States violating freedom of speech, one gets responses such as ‘Do you have guts to make a movie on the other religion’.
Tumblr media
There is a decline in the political and moral discourse. The emphasis is less on merits and demerits of ideas and more on the person or the party behind it. When this happens, debates gets infused with sentimentality. When you have an opposing political stand to a coworker or a friend or family, things get taken personally and suddenly, you are an enemy. You are to them, trying to undermine the effort of a man working 20 hour days trying to save the country from decay that everybody else had wrought upon for 60 years. Imagine the arrogance we allow when we idolise people that were once considered fringe and vilify everybody else who have had an important role to play in the country’s history. Nehru may have made mistakes, but he did what he thought was best for the country. So did Gandhi..
When we mainstreamise the fringe, where do we go from there? When we shut our eyes to rationality and reason and have unquestioning and blind faith in a party or a man, it undoes the centuries worth of works of soldiers and writers and philosophers and saints and statesmen who fought for ideals that ask us to rise above the petty tribalism. The very idea that the ideals, the morals, the rights, the institutions are greater than a person, a party, a caste, a religion or a group might be at stake here. The great war today is not between right and left, between Trump and Dems, between One Man and the 19 odd parties; it is between the works of centuries that has woven a fragile fabric of our socio-economico-politico-moral existence with enough checks and balances and our primitive instincts that threaten to tear it all apart, testing these checks to the limit.
In other words, it's a battle for our collective souls.
