The Apocalypse & Post World




It might be a work of fiction but “apocalypse” was prophesized in almost every civilization or religion whether it’s the ancient Native American civilizations like Mayas & Incas, or in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. Every civilization has referred it as end of humanity or end of civilization. But in most of the reference it is described that it’s not complete end but a beginning of a new civilization. In Christianity it is said that God will be back to kill the Anti-Christ, world will experience apocalypse and few people shall survived & God shall guide for a recreating of human civilization. In Hinduism also it is said that the 10th avatar of Lord Vishnu shall come i.e. “Lord Kalki” & kill the demon “Kali” which shall end the world & the Kali Yuga i.e. Dark Age. He shall rule earth for some time & Satya Yuga i.e. Truth Age will begin, & human civilization will be revived.


Historical Reference
There have been many historical references of end of many modernized civilizations like the Indus Valley Civilization. Ice Ages, huge floods, climate change, earthquakes etc. caused many civilizations to fade away. But mankind survived and civilizations were recreated. This proves that these happens and will happen in future as it’s a cycle.


Things to keep in mind for restarting Civilization:
 In movies like 2012 they have shown complete bull shit. They have shown that only rich businessmen, head of state & head of government are rescued and let others die. Actually one needs to save all kinds of people for restarting a civilization. For construction an architect is needed & so are needed workers. Doctors, engineers, & other professionals who are specialized in social sciences should be kept safe. Also whatever information related to history & evidences should be kept alive. A good leader is needed to guide the new civilization. Also all kinds of animals & plants should survive as they will be needed for various purposes and also for ecological balance. In short every possible thing should be attempted to be saved. In the “Matysa Purana” of Hindu mythology, same things were shown.(this symbolizes that how civilizations end & reborn.)

In the Purana, Lord Vishnu says Earth has become messy and it has to be clean. So, Lord Shiva shall open his third eye, and floods will clean all the mess in the earth. But in such cleaning all the species will be extinct. So, he tells a king of pre- ancient Dravida, “Satyavarta” [who later came to be known as “Manu”- the first human (Indian version of Adam)] to take all kinds of animals, seeds of all kinds of plants, all kinds of medicinal herbs and all the seven sages in a ship, The Lord will guard the ship during the flood(i.e. Matysa Avatar), hence after the cleaning of earth, those sages can revive humanity & give them knowledge, seeds will revive all kinds of vegetation and thus after cleaning, earth will start a new beginning.

Whether it happens or not, weather only a selected area is destroyed, the main important thing to keep in mind is “need to save every possible thing, right from materialistic & non-materialistic.” Because Apocalypse is not the ending, but a start of new beginning.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Content Creation & Employment

There are many things Artificial Intelligence can do, but there are some things the AI cannot do, like writing this blog. This year has seen the rise of AI, and since then AI service platforms and content created by these platforms have taken over the internet. Initially, it was believed that like previous industrial revolutions, this new invention will affect the basic entry-level jobs with lower skills, but it directly attacked those jobs that require higher levels of skills. As Artificial Intelligence improves, it will get better and will compete with artists, writers, actors, singers, and musicians, along with other jobs like product delivery, sales and even data collection and data interpretation.   But can there be a human civilisation where everything is automated? If everything right from art to programming is going to be done by AI, what kind of jobs would humans do? How will the economic cycle function? This sudden rise of AI is perceived to be a major threat to human re

Indian Festival(s): Diwali

Diwali also known as Dipavali, which is festival of lights. Although the present scenario in cities of modern India (@least in Mumbai) contradicts the meaning of the festival. The festival of lights is celebrated as festival of noise. Fireworks were used as they gave lights, which were followed by bombs & other crackers which gives 2% light, 48% smoke and 50% noise. It seems like the main intention of celebrating a festival is to trouble people around. Many people have asthma problems; many people mostly due to old age have timid ears and can even get a heart attack after listening the kaboom noise of the crackers. Even during marriages and Ganpati visarjan , traffic jam and making loud noise with weird dances on the streets are common. They don't care if an ambulance have to pass by or if there is hospital in that area.  Indian festivals have now became the best examples of mockery. Festivals are celebrated by troubling other people. Not ju

How Changing Media Shaped History and Societies

We are in the middle of a new AI revolution that is going to change media forever. This could give a push to the saturating and plateaued social media. It could also make it even more difficult to reach a wider audience due to higher competition. To contemplate and guess what may happen, we must understand how changing media changed societies and civilizations. It does three things – unites a type of people, divides or polarizes a group, democratizes a previous media system, and makes content more local, but reduces wider reach. Creation of Insiders, but also Outsiders   Invention of Languages When early humans invented languages, they became more organized and developed tribes and societies. But this also clearly defined the concept of an ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’. When they came in contact with tribes which didn’t speak their languages, the idea of insider and outsider became clearer. This also led to clashes and cultural feuds.   Invention of Writing Systems When language
