Paramendra BhagatAmazon Was Web 1
Amazon was a bookstore. But it was not Barnes & Noble digitized. You still got physical books in the mail. What was amazing was the largeness of the offering that simply was not possible in any physical store. This was new. Amazon was launched at a time when you had to be patient and a photo would download. Now Amazon is an everything store. It even sells movies. In fact, it has become a behemoth to disrupt. Web 3 wants to disrupt Amazon, and Google, and Facebook, and Microsoft, and Apple. Ye...
Paramendra BhagatDefeating Putin In Donbas Is The Cheap, Easy Option
As I follow Zelensky in this war, I am constantly reminded of this book I read just a few months ago. At that time there was no inkling of Putin’s invasion. I read the book because I am perennially interested in Abraham Lincoln’s life and work. Lincoln was not even a soldier. It was not a war he had chosen. He became a student of war in the White House. And because his instincts were right, and he stood on the side of justice and liberty, he seems to have made all sorts of right war moves. If...
Paramendra BhagatTo Seek Only A Military Solution Is Dangerous
In eastern Ukraine, to seek only a military solution is dangerous. I admire the work of military strategists, intelligence officials, and governments who have stepped into supplying the needed hardware. Most of all I admire the brave men and women of the Ukrainian military who make the ultimate sacrifice daily. But we can never lose sight of the larger purpose and the higher ground. Ultimately this is about peace, liberty, and justice. Eisenhower warned of the “military-industrial complex.” H...

Guns are like cigarettes. And they have to be tackled like cigarettes were tackled. All families and friends of the victims of gun violence have to come together, rally and make legal moves. That is how tobacco was brought to the knees.
A lot of people wonder, will America slide into civil war? The country is divided. Will there be a civil war? Look at the annual gun deaths in America and compare that to the death figures in any civil war country, or all of them combined. America beats all of them, hands down.
America has been at civil war for years and years.
This is insanity. The solution is not politicians making speeches, but rather citizens coming together and making organized legal moves in the courts. The people have the power to amend the second amendment, the appendix (body organ) of the US constitution. I am waiting for someone to make the argument that the amendment allows them to own tanks.
At one point in the civil war, Abraham Lincoln lamented that all the white people getting killed to preserve the union has been karma for all the blood the white people spilled over a few centuries to subjugate the black slaves.
American guns are sold in civil wars around the world. American companies make big profits. There is a need for global regulations.
There are more guns than people in America. This is no country for old men, or young. People, generally.
