@Samyukth @milcom @nitin my stepbrother Rahul Andrews brought a concept to my notice which so many people are completely unaware of--the Wicked Problem. On a scale of ease of resolution, the wicked problem is the most intractable of all, and requires multiple actions in a multidisciplinary field. Wicked Problems cannot be resolved; they can only be engaged.I recommend that this be read about:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_problem

@IshaKaushik @Samyukth @milcom @nitin Our current system is not a wicked problem it is a networked conglomeration of wicked problems, such as poverty, delivering public good, enforcing law and order, delivering the most effective education, and so on.

@IshaKaushik @Samyukth @milcom @nitin By recognizing the problem and addressing it at multiple levels in iteration. Like Kejriwal is doing with education and health in Delhi state. Each budget (both financial & outcome) involve multiple fields in the resolution of say education. Education is improving but even 5 years is too hort a time to rectify the neglect of seven decades and the tremenduous challenges faced by a hostile Centre and polarised society today.

@Shufei @publius then you must surely have read Andy Weir's "Artemis". 😊 and also Arthur C. Clarke's "A Fall of Moondust"!

@zsc welcome to my tootstream. Since you seem to be a cyclist and would appear to love solitary spaces, here is one of my favourite birding spots in Pune, birdwatching with the daughter of friend.

@IshaKaushik @KayKap @Samyukth @Bloodyatheist @NSure @mareeswj @KnottedBow @parthpunter @omairahmad change doesn't come from trivial pressures like dislikes on social media. Not going to happen.

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the first time the fascist #RSS paramilitary was banned in India! If it happened once, then twice, then thrice, then it can happen again.
