Epistemic presumptions are not exactly metaphysics in our context. Regardless, even considering their 'metaphysical' assumptions like ‘scientific realism,' existentialism' is not the same as us asserting—‘this world is created by a divine being.’
Kit Fine has highlighted these.

Your mentioning of this article on Twitter in the past few days made me remember it again. I had earlier thought of writing something on this article but that did not happen earlier for some reason. Now, I have written something casually on this article yesterday: ...(contd.) ... nilakantha98751.medium.com/criticism-of-t… . I wrote on Medium because it would be tedious to write such a long piece on Twitter. @thevictorharsh

The practice of 'Advance Tip' is deeply concerning. Forcing or nudging users to pay a tip in advance, for faster service is unethical and exploitative. Such actions fall under unfair trade practices. Tip is given as a token of appreciation not as a matter of right, after the service.
Fairness, transparency and accountability must be upheld in all customer interactions.

The goal of education changes from inquiry to indoctrination when political narratives begin to influence curricula. It is discouraged for faculty to question prevailing views. Diverse worldviews and critical thinking are not presented to students. Additionally, the university stops being a forum for free discussion.
How Marwari Vyaparis helped unite India by learning many Languages
In India, nobody picks up new languages faster than the Marwari vyaparis. That is my biased observation, I admit.
Wherever they set up shop or do business, they don’t just learn the main language, they also pick up the local dialect.
I’ve heard my Marwari friends speak everything from Bhojpuri to Punjabi, Bangla, Tamil, Santhali, and Khortha…
Language thrives in the marketplace. If it’s not spoken where people trade and talk, it either dies out or becomes a museum piece or a ritual thing.
India’s markets are becoming more connected, and people are moving around more than ever.
Language is like a river. You can’t force it. It finds its own path.
Vyaparis play an important role in national integration by connecting regions, cultures, and languages.
So go ahead and learn new languages.

The British developed various templates to categorise, isolate, delegitimise and subjugate Hindu communities that were rebellious against colonial rule. Some of these templates were Agency Tracts, Hill Tracts, Frontier Areas, Scheduled Districts, Excluded and Partially Excluded Areas etc. Inner Line Permits and other systems were put in place severely restricting other Indians from entering those areas or having social intercourse with the segregated Hindu communities. The mischief to isolate the rebellious Hindu communities from the neighbouring Hindu society became evident from the religion-neutral synthetic ascriptions to them such as animists, tribes in successive Censuses. Soon these were given as captive catchment areas for soul harvesting of the isolated Hindu communities.
This British evangelical project of destruction of Hindu society is analogous in its intent, purpose and scale to the medieval Chinese project of destroying the Hindu religious demography of South East Asia from Hindu to Muslim with a view to permanently cut off Hindu civilizational roots and influence.
