Thanks for enlightening me on Popper's perspective on falsification. I realize that I knew of both, but not enough to connect them and understand deeper. Also, many thanks for introducing me to Hazari Prasad Dwivedi's 'Jab ke dimag khali hai' in an earlier newsletter. It was an absolutely stunning 3 pages of commentary on our emotional baggage from the literary great!
Pranay, loved the bit on the information age and the concept of Overton Window. Would like to know if you think that the information overload of the 21st century has further aided in stretching of the overton window?
Another fabulous piece. RSJ and Pranay - I eagerly await your latest article every Sunday. Its a must read for me. The only complaint (if it can even be called that), is you reference so many great articles and books that my already constrained reading time is further burdened by them :-) Keep up the great work. Look forward to more on the lab v/s natural origin of COVID discussions. It will shape this decade's global politics.
Pranay - Thanks for sharing the research and your views, always presented in a balanced way. I found the last topic on "networked existence - boon or bane" interesting. I'm curious to hear your views on impact of information age on economy and public policy. Do you think the benefits arising out of accountability outweigh the costs, even in non-pandemic situations? Maybe it could be a topic of a future post, it'd be interesting to see what RSJ also thinks with his understanding of the Singapore governance model.
I think there's typo in RSJ's penultimate line -- Scientific temper is NOT part of DPSP(Part IV) but only in Fundamental Duties(Part V)
Part-4A**

In case someone wants to watch a beautiful video explaining the Karl Popper way:

Thank you for applying it to the currently ongoing controversy.
I always get to learn something from your newsletters. :)
