At the time of writing this post, there is just one goal in my mind: I want to propagate my views and ideals to echo throughout the lifetime of humanity. Something that people millennia from now can read, derive from and perhaps adopt these values from me. I do not know whether this will help me in accomplishing that goal, but it is a step forward in that direction.
These phrases broadly describe me: militant atheist[1], anti-theist, a supporter of strong socialist policies (not labeling myself here to avoid association with an entire group), feminist, builder of software. I would love to go into more detail in separate blog posts.
I currently work at Bloom as a Founding Engineer, helping people learn to invest and be financially responsible. I previously founded a startup called BharatX, and was a CTO and Co-Founder for two and a half years before leaving.
All my life, I have been a laid-back observer of humanity across history - the thoughts, actions and justifications across all scales.
- 'Homeless proof' benches installed at parks.
- Rape someone and 'look at how short her clothes are'.
- Kill someone and 'he ate beef'.
- Witnessing a school shooting and wondering, 'What could we have done?' when the answer is right in front of us.
- Marking a section of society as 'untouchables'.
- Killing each other in the name of religion (from a lynching to a terrorist attack to crusades).
When did we lose our humanity? From what I see, we never had it. What we have is blood on our hands.
My credentials alone are probably not valuable enough to motivate a single person to read my blog posts. What I can offer you is coherent arguments that convince you or reinforces your own beliefs.
