[Thread] What important truth do very few people agree with you on?

This question is posed to you by Peter Thiel in his book "Zero to One"

My answer to this is:

We are in a big cycle where India will become everything great. Last 8 years have taught me that we are in the greatest momentum bet of this country's life time. So, don't rule out India.

Build in India. Invest in India. Believe in India.

There are many in this community that are complete nihilists and supremely bearish towards India's prospects. And let me tell you, for once in this country's history, being a complete maximalist on India is a bet that you will not regret.

There will be a new generation of millionaires and billionaires that will be minted on new industries. So keep hustling and this country will unleash great dividends for you and your legacy.

100% Agree to each and every word. I keep saying on this platform that we have never been in this situation in the last 100 odd years. There is an opportunity to make a lots and lots of money in next 2 decades.
Hate towards the current ruling party and their ideology has led them to not believe whatever good is happening around.

Our mind and heart will believe whatever we tell them. Feed it truth, feed it positivity.

I completely agree with you on this. Things are looking extremely hopeful.

While I'm totally against the ruling party for their ideology, I want them to be in power for the next two decades at least solely for the amount of opportunities they can create.

Indians killed quora with cringe questions. The same cringe is now surfacing on grapevine too.

To be fair, many Indians moved away from facebook and are now increasingly not using insta for the same reason.

Good take. I hope you meant other posts and cringe and not the source post lmao.

In my childhood and youth, I used to believe with age will come wisdom and ability to ‘know’ things. Examples of these -

  • my parents know best
  • CEO knows better
  • bureaucrats know better
  • why isn’t x politician doing y - something so obvious to me (I know better)

What’s one learning that’s disappointed me - That no one really ‘knows’ anything and everyone is playing the game of odds. What seems obvious to me has so many second order effects that I haven’t thought deeply about.

The older I grow the lesser I know. The more I think the more I realise there is no black or white. You are mostly choosing to maximise or minimise something with probabilities.

Last para is deep. The more you know, the more you feel like you know nothing.

Yeah people talk about Dunning Kruger effect. The only way to learn (and not know) anything is going deep enough to argue on both sides.

Example - why are electoral bonds bad and why are electoral bonds good? How would you argue both sides out?

Unfortunately Indian education system doesn’t teach / encourage / appreciate critical thinking.

As Nikhil Kamath said "India is seemingly looking like the coolest party in town. I think what you need to be aware of is if you arrive too late, you might not get in"

simply saying "India India" is not helpful, no country in the world grows overall and India won't.

looking at the situation I can say there will be only a few states, few areas, a section of society will grow.

because there are clear class differences and only few sections of society are getting resources to grow.

it's a typical case of a class teacher focusing on the toppers and not giving a shit about the backbenchers.

The question here is who will grow, which sector or section of society will grow, not everyone for sure.

True. Agreed. And these spectrum would've grown anywhere bcoz of their inherent nature
