Economic trends

Modern economics is too complex to be subjected to over simplistic narratives or single term labels or definitions.
​
Actually fundamentals of economics of demand and supply may be in tact as facts.

​​

Who supplies, why and for whom and who pays for it all; who manufactures/ produces/provides/supplies all these are difficult questions to answer or brush aside in any over simplistic jargon.

How they market one product over another with similar features and utilities have also been intentionally complicated and made complex by many players and multiple factors. 

Some of these factors are based on  economics, commerce trade, availability and utility of products or service related;

Some emanate out of geopolitical scheming based on preferred type social engineering or political ideology based affinities;

Some are manipulated by a well organized vested interest international lobbies with hidden and unexpected competitions; 

Some are due to inevitable evolution of trends of emerging technological changes especially massive one in cyber world; 

Some are due to well entrenched regional, cultural and traditional beliefs and practices ( trends or taboos- for example one cannot find a consumer for nine (9 ) yards madisaru sarees or dhotis  in Los Vegas nor consumers for Los Vegas type bikinis for those bathing in Kavery; 

Some are due to publicity driven and propaganda pushed sudden craze;

Some are due to political mismanagement or manipulations or corruption etc

This is the case with naturally available resources as well.

Similar is the case with utilisation of educated, qualified and skilled technocrats, scientists, bureaucrats and other professionals who are also treated on same lines like products they will be imported as welcome migrants for their utility and contribution.

The maze of hidden factors and agendas, ulterior motives etc are difficult to decipher in present day global economic scenario.

In addition natural calamities also play a huge part.

Not that these are either totally new phenomena but the degree, intensity and the speed with which some of these factors evolve is difficult to analyze as most modern day developments are not gradual or incremental but disruptive.

Ultimately, what matters is the contextual relevance based priority and overall trade off that an individual or society or a nation or the whole humanity pays for the utilisation of specific product, comfort, service etc.

So, no one can over simplify most aspects of either micro or macro economic behavior as 'one size fits all' phenomena.

The requirements for certain basic needs like food, shelter , clothing , health care, mobility ( transportation of humans human beings or goods) all the above with their concomitant activities and the urge for the able bodied and some skill sets endowed qualified youth to do some activity are not likely to disappear come what may.

So, presumably nations with huge population  and the advantage of demographic dividends which naturally require these above referred necessities have the potential for being both the consumers as well as manufaturers and service providers.

Therefore, such nations may change the power equations as well as economic status as great powers either silently or assertively.

“Evolution itself is an open ended and indeterminate process”… “Given the remarkable progress in our understanding of biochemistry, molecular biology, and evolution as a whole … we have failed to develop concepts, ideas, even a language that could capture the dance of this life” - Guy Murchie

Nationalism

Some will not accept any dictionary definition but only their own manufactured narratives.


Nationalism is primarily a reverential feeling of gratitude based relationship to the land where one is born. It need not be the best nor offer the best .
It is like one's feeling for one's own parents.  

Step by step analysis

Step by step analysis of probabilities and elimination processes may ultimately put in you in the right step but never stop analysing, doubting and e​​liminating possibilities that may prevent you from settling for the correct option.

The correct interpretation of scriptures through a thorough interpretation of language used in specific context used to be explained well in kathakalakshebam ( that word by itself elucidates its meaning).

Reason in East and West

​

In my humble observation in the West reason emanates out of reactions to existing events, issues, ideologies etc through doubt , questioning and analysis. 

Like hoping that debating about SIN will relieve them from sin and help in leading a sinless life.

The opposite of sin in western languages even lacks a precise word because they have focused only on Sin and they msut be credited for diplomatic honest in not declaring something as sinless state.

Whereas in the East reason emanates from seeking answers to th​​e unspecified and unknown and is done through trying to find  possibilities of synergy and synthesis rather than analysis.

Besides, most of labels of reason in the west were based on politically and contextually prevailing ideologies rather than native culture.

West proceeds on prefixed premises and hyped hypotheses whereas in the East it was always exploratory,  experimental and life centric philosophy of well being and regional cultural affinities often factors that are part of day to day activities and duties.

Disruptive changes

Both education and employment ( most works) are and must undergo drastic or disruptive changes in every aspect at every level in probably the very near future. 

​​

Important ultimate goal or result expected out of both being the fullfillment of basic  economic needs, physical comforts and social welfare without too much of disparity.

Already home schooling and work from home are mushrooming around many places.

In certain ways when you look at it they have lot of benefits like how clocks, calendars, calculators and even computers got confined in the comfort of our palms through mobile phones.
