Vikram Dharma

"Unfortunate", that he had to die at the age of 50.

His stunt-choreography was certainly a class apart.

He even made rajni's fights look realistic. (Dharmadurai)

A Nude World

What is the root cause of all the "problems" in this world?
It is the ability of a person to hide his thoughts, I claim.
(In other words, the inability of a person to access other's thoughts)

(Consider the analogy of the cameras at the road intersections which actually makes the people obey the traffic rules. )

Suppose each and every one of us can access other's thoughts*, then how will the world be?

These are the charecterstics of the system:

1. Person 'A' just has to "think" about another person 'B'and instantly he will have acces to what 'B' is thinking currently and also B's previous thoughts.

2. Also person just has to think about a
"subject" and he gets access to information on what other people are currently thinking, (and have previosly thought) about that subject.

The following are very interesting questions:
1. How will the society be?
My intuition: This is the perfect world where "goodness", will reign.
It is almost like perfect unity- a single conciousness.

2. Will there be "progress"?
Absolutely! Consider this, Wikipedia is a big success. This is the pinnacle of the Wikipedia concept.%

3. Will this happen in the future?
This is the big question. My answer is yes. Infact I think this will happen sooner than later.
We just need to have technology to read a person's mind and some advances in storage and retrieval of humungus data.


* : A story "Bubbles" that I studied in 8th std/grade comes to my mind.
%: This is in some sense like Web-infinity! At this point we also need to consider a more mundane but important issue of the effect of internet in "research".
