Crusade against superstitions

It has been around 20 years since we entered the 21st century. It's high time that we analyze our different religious practices with a critical bent of mind to remove various superstitions. The main purpose is to target our energy towards productive and right things rather than devoting our time towards destructive thought process or useless rituals.

I would like to mention the recent incident where an 18-year-old Muslim student beheaded a French teacher for showing the cartoons of Prophet Mohammed. It is an absolutely condemnable incident and the boy fully deserved the punishment as he was brutally killed by French Security Forces. There is no place for blasphemy related views in a modern civilization and this current thought process among  needs urgent reforms.

Similarly, Hindus should abstain from useless rituals and focus should be on establishing connnection with the almighty through every day generous deeds. Our focus should be on helping needy people, being kind towards animals and preserve the pristine plant life of the mother Earth. 

The reform in our religious practices is absolutely necessary so that we live a more meaningful life in full harmony with other creatures and leave a better planet for our coming generations.

Advent of Artificial Intelligence

 Artificial Intelligence has become a buzzword in recent times and has the potential to transform practically all sectors leading to a massive increase in productivity.  It involves gathering a huge amount of data about the current behaviour of a system and utilizing algorithmic framework and probabilist thinking to make the best possible decision under given circumstances. These computations are quite complex and require high computing power. For Example, the use of AI can help to decide the best possible crop combination depending on price, weather and the nature of soil. Similarly, AI can help in the diagnosis of patients based on the results of certain tests. The possibilities are just immense and the capacity of AI can be enhanced with increase in our knowledge of the nature of real world situations and the best way to replicate them through our code. Nowadays, Python, a computer language is often used in the design of AI based tools

At the fundamental level, its about making prediction based on current data set. It can help humans to increase the effectiveness of decisions which are required to be made in tough situations that involve complex set of data. It involves the use of principles from other branches of science, as two events can affect each other only when they are within a given light cone as specified by the General theory of Relativity. It also indirectly implies that we live in a causal universe with a high degree of deterministic nature, and the outcome can be easily predicted if one knows the initial condition and the laws governing the situation.
