Assorted tweets for general information:
When a democracy faces a deep crisis, everyone blames each other rather than coming together to save it. Civil society blames media, media blames the opposition. They think the Dictator will harm others more than them. Germany did this mistake in the 1930s, India is doing it now.

Rosenstock-Huessy's "cross of reality" provides us with a new (and perhaps truer) way of understanding hubris or the transgressive act. It is to travel too far along only one branch of the cross of reality -- to much or too little which leads to a state of disequilibrium.

Adam Smith's "Parable of the Poor Man's Son" reveals that Smith was quite aware of the existential tension between Being and Having. He sacrificed the former for the sake of the latter, ie, happiness postponed to some indefinite future.

2. Unrelated. "Call me by name" as an intervention or correction issued almost always to young women by men, is a benign act of a male in the infancy of old age. Even unwise men innately know 'sir' has no prospects. Insubordination, on the other hand, has promise.

Sufism tries to project a broad ‘Universalism’ & then ensnares gullible into the narrowest of dogmas.
Cults are trained to feed, take care of bakras & show them ‘affection’. And on a designated day, halal the bakra ruthlessly & make a show of piety that it is for the poor.
