Blog me...curiosity redefined

     I just happen to watch a good speech by Andrew Ng on youtube on AI & how it can empower businesses of any scale. Please watch it before you read my blog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reUZRyXxUs4     All due respect to him, we don't need democratization of AI, but democratization of sustainable villages (like Auroville experimental village in India) as we are impacting the environment/natural resources in the name of AI. Humans don't need more education but rather less of it. We need more of wisdom & values than education.     Man is known for his 'constructive destruction' nature...and we call this as evolving. Being an Indian, I believe in ancient wisdom of ours. Even the bell curve applied to a human life tells us once you reach a certain height of gaining information or knowledge, the next step is to let go of it. After all, wisdom comes only with let go.     We are on the wrong path by giving aw...

     Nature has everything for a man's need but not for his greed. If we appreciate the way Nature is preserving things thru biocycle, then it is better we learn things quickly. It is indeed our ignorance to acquire things that is making the future unlivable. As simple as water, air and food in today's world is so polluted, I sometimes wonder what my son (10 months old) would have when he turns 20 years or even at 10 years.      Ironically most of the management courses teach us to learn and how to make money by adding value to the existing business or create a new one. Yes sustainable businesses are indeed a lesson that we learn. Isn't the implementation of this sustainability a bigger issue today? But in the process of adding value, aren't we killing the nature? Hmm, I wonder if there is any company which has made money and not screwed up the environment.     The question is - has the time come for Governments to take extreme measures like ad...

     Adam Smith was a  popular economist whom most of you would have heard of. His famous book 'The wealth of nations' (1776) is a renowned on how nations can build wealth (mercantilism), what government can help nations build wealth thru free market economy. I believe his ideas are even today implemented by corporate to create wealth and by Governments to implement policies to make a economy free-market based. But little did all of us knew that this method of creating wealth only had an adverse impact on our natural resources. Photo courtesy - Internet      Few of us knew his book 'Theory of Moral Sentiments' (1759) was more apt to sustain the natural resources...in short doing business morally rather than keeping wealth as the primary motive. If only this theory had popularized over the principles dictated in Wealth of nations. I personally believe in the next decade, we will see this change happening across the organisations, Governments and S...
