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...

By now I am beginning to think this has been the only reason Elon Musk has wanted to buy Twitter. Edit button? You can already compose a new tweet.
Free speech does not mean you can incite violence, which is what Trump did on January 6. It is a well-documented act, minute by minute. Trump is a violent fascist.
Germany was a country of high culture and science, it was a democracy. And some of the leading minds in the country fell for Hitler. I see people like Marc and Elon falling for Trump. Frankly, this is sad and disgusting. Marc has been running up and down the street about how Ukraine is the current thing. Ukraine is not a country at the frontline of the fight for democracy. It is the current thing. How cavalier is that?

Putin today, Trump tomorrow, Le Pen yesterday.
Hate speech is problematic enough. And that is its own category. What used to be fringe, thanks to Trump, is now in the mainstream.
America is a democracy in crisis. Ukraine is exporting democracy to America, as we speak. A two-party democracy where one party is hellbent on disenfranchising large swathes of the population is a democracy in crisis.
Musk is very smart, very hardworking, very innovative, but also very white male. The while male part is 90% of his success. That is why he feels the need to pour $44 billion into the hate speech.
I think this sentiment is a sound argument for a well-thought-out wealth tax. Nobody needs to be a billionaire. There ought to be forking. You still get to keep your voting power, but the wealth goes to We The People.
You might be smart on one thing, but that does not make you smart on all things. These two gentlemen are missing out on the basics of basic politics.
I don’t think America could survive one more term of Donald Trump in the White House. Wake up, Elon.
