Getting better each day is a contact sport.

Datafication.

Anti-Content.
It is not content, it is research, writing and art. Content is for SEO algorithms, not for insightful impact.
Epistemic Void Attracts Violence
The problem with migrant narratives about the Khaleej, is people who grow up in the region are always imagining an exit due to the ‘structural transience’ (channelizing Shah on multigenerational migrants in Kuwait), which leaves a void for western tourist visa academics to carve the stories for us.

Productise.
The charm of the digital nature of tech vis-Ă -vis climate change and healthcare is the ability to solve problems through the creation of products which can be paid for. I think the key for the diffusion of anything is the formation of a product in an unit of ‘exchange value’.
The ability to circulate in a network and make money along the way is the key whether it is a thought system or a solution.
Resilience.
An ability to deal with carnage with Grace with a great talent/ability in 2021.

‘Unfocus’
During my school and college, i was chided for reading widely, and called ‘philosophical’ which is a synonym for unfocused. Having had an ‘anti-disciplinary career’, the ‘unfocus’ enables avenues for imagining possibilities.
Nuance.
When a person asks me: Are you from India?
Me: Well, I am an Indian Citizen from Muscat
The nuance is often lost.
