My thanks to Dr. Satyan Sharma for carefully considering my paper and for reaching out to discuss the analysis of saṃskārasvāsanās, and karmāśayas in the Yogaśāstra (YŚ).[1] I find this discussion especially important, because it challenges the widespread assumption that the theory of karma in Hindu (and Buddhist) traditions can be analyzed in terms of moral character, action habits, dispositions, and so on. The influence of this contemporary account of karma can hardly be overstated. And yet, I count it as a dogma badly in need of revaluation - and rejection.

Here is my piece on @Sara_Imari most excellent new book "Life as No One Knows It". Anyone interested in the physics of life, the origin of life or the possibilities of life beyond Earth should read it.

Walker's new book is on my list of must reads. I am wondering if she addresses when and how life emerged, or if she sees this less as a gap to be closed via "emergence" and more as a continuum of complexity (such that even physical processes are minimally living)?

Just want to reiterate that this platform really is meant to support all viewpoints within the bounds of the laws of countries, even those of people with whom I vehemently disagree and personally dislike. 

If that doesn’t seem to be happening, please yell at me (ideally on 𝕏).

Further proof that Indian citizens CANNOT trust the apex regulator to ensure that foods are safe, sanitary, nutritious, wholesome, and honestly and adequately labeled like regulators in other countries such as US FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) do. India is a masterclass in "Crony Capitalism." Here consumers are inconsequential.

@ajeetbharti, मुझे लगता है कि इस फिल्म में Yaskin को Paul Richard की Lord Of Nations से प्रेरणा लेकर बनाया है, जिसके world vision पर महर्षि अरविंद (SriAurobindo) ने कहा था कि लेखक के सर वह असुर (शायद Kali) बैठा है जिसने हिटलर और स्टालिन से युद्ध कराए |
