Sustainability vs Digital Transformation or Digital Disruption or Digital Slavery: Growth of Digital Disempowerment

Digital transformation and sustainability challenges:
Internet and convergence of technologies have created a digital takeover of all aspects of life to an extent that digital intrusion is now monitoring our most intimate details, which has produced a digital monopoly of nearly all services and has recently created the ultimate buzzword "digital disruption" which is actually a fuzz word.

There can be no sustainability without diversity. Diversity requires adherence to the principle of live-and-let-live. Digital disruption assumes the destruction of everything which is nondigital. However, Inclusive growth means allowing small competitors to survive and grow. Which is now an impossibility due to the juggernaut unleashed by digital disruption. Digital takeover of all aspects of life is now a reality. There is no sustainability of human culture, only the perpetuation of digital virtual existence. 



Why corrupt are not caught in pakistan

Corruption and corrupt. Who is responsible
To a person claiming corruption of politicians:
اگر اتنے ہی کرپٹ تھے تو مشرف نے اپنے 9 سالہ ڈکٹیٹر شپ میں اور عمران خان نے اپنی ایک پیج والی ڈکٹیٹرشپ میں ان کی اتنی ساری کرپشن کے بہت سارے ثبوت کیوں نہیں اکٹھے کر کے عدالت میں کیوں پیش نہیں کئے- اب صرف دو صورتیں رہ گئی ہیں (1) یا تو یہ دونوں خود کرپٹ تھے اور انہوں نے مک مکا کر لیا (2) یا پھر ثبوت ہیں ہی نہیں- اس وقت عدالتوں سے نیب کیس واپس لے رہی ہے کیونکہ کوئی کیس ہی نہیں- آپ چاہیں تو میں کورٹس کی پروسیڈنگز بھیج دوں؟

 درست کہہ رہے ہیں آپ۔لیکن وائیٹ کالر کرپشن پکڑنا نا ممکن ہے ہمارے نظام میں۔اتنا تو میں بھی جان چکی ہوں اب ۔نون لیکی اور پیپلز پارٹی والے خود مانتے ہیں کہ ان کے لیڈر کرپٹ ہیں لیکن بس مہنگائ نہیں کرتے۔جبکہ مہنگائ کم رکھنے کے چکر میں اور اپنی جیبیں بھرنے کے چکر میں ان پچھلوں نے پاکستان پر ہاریبل قرضوں کے انبار لاد دئے ہیں۔

Disillusion of Youth In Search of Saviors in Pakistan: Hopes Pinned on Saviors, Not Principles

My dear ambitious, energetic youth: 
Please pin your hopes on principles not people. You are bound to be disappointed if you pin your hopes on saviors as I have been closely following the rise and fall of many of the saviors over the last 54 years of my life in the course of daily reading of newspapers, and have personally witnessed the rise and fall of Ayub, Yahya, Mujeeb, Bhutto, Zia, NS (thrice), BB (twice), Mush, Shaukat Aziz, Jamali, Junejo, Gilani, Parvez, Zardari, Altaf Bhai, and now Imran Khan. I have come across countless well-intentioned youth who were left disgruntled, disappointed, and disillusioned by the human frailties of their dear larger-than-life leaders who turned out to be just humans.

Why this epidemic of depression and psychosis - Death of Permanence

Why there is such a widespread epidemic of depression and psychosis in the world? 
Too much change, happening too fast and robbing us of the familiar anchors in life; anchors in beliefs, anchors in thoughts, anchors in our habits, anchors in families, anchors in "Old Familiar Faces",  anchors in furniture and household items, anchors in the neighborhood. 

Why are Stupids more Dangerous than Bandits and Thieves

Framework for understanding stupidity: Time for self-introspection 🤔.
اپنا بھی فائدہ کرتا ہے اور دوسروں کا بھی فائدہ کرتا ہے vs اپنا بھی نقصان کرتا ہے اور دوسروں کا بھی!

5 Laws of Stupidity by Carlo Cipolla, 1976 titled “The basic laws of stupidity.” At first it seems hilarious but is not. It is very serious.
