    • exceptional food
    • cheap workforce (the next major factory of world after China is becoming “too expensive” and competitive)
    • hinduism
    • religious segration
    • caste system
    • extreme poverty and extreme wealth
    • racist towards dark skinned people (also due to caste)
    • anti-queer
    • lots of potential, but also among world leaders in corruption
    • hot
    • noisy, polluted cities
    • very influenced by external forces

    I’d like to visit, but Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, and Japan look more enticing.



  • God cannot be refuted nor confirmed. It’s like unicorns, elves, dragons, and many other myths: we have not seen proof of their existence, nor have any claimed proofs of their existence been confirmed to be a valid, but that doesn’t rule out that we will never find proof.

    Such is my understanding science: there is no absolute certainty nor absolute confidence. I think only logical fallacies might never exist e.g an all-powerful creator immediately runs into the logical problem of “can god create a rock that it itself cannot lift?”.

    But what if our universe were just a simulation within a machine of a highly advanced species? Their ability to modify the simulation to their will might make them akin to gods for us, but that also incurs the question: what if they were in a simulation themselves? That can be repeated to the root until a “real world” is reached, but that still leaves the question: how did everything come to be?
    We can thus cut out all the “if god exists, who created god” and focus on a world without the need to get distracted by the god problem.






  • You didn’t ask to be born there, but you don’t have to belong to the group of Americans that consume without any regard.

    Also, how is knowingly buying products from anti-union companies a “leap of logic”? Do you even know what that means? You don’t need to buy Apple products to function in society, nor do you need Starbucks products, nor do you have to use Amazon. There are small local retailers you can support, as well as fair trade products, second hand goods you can purchase, and a lot more.

    Friggin’ iPhone lovers get triggered so easily.
