Proposal of a New Religion - 'Humanity'

Dear friends, i would like take a shot at what most people, saints, philosophers etc. have been doing since our evolution. I would like to intoduce 'Humanity'!! Any takers? Lets start by analyzing ourselfs, what do we think of the world. Is the worl d that we simply just live in, is it that gives us life, or is it that gives us meaning? My religion Hinduism beleives in reincarnation: but i donot. For me life is once, eternal and the most useful organism. Just for a while i would like all readers to look into their heart, try to imagine who they love, beleive in, trust etc. I am sure that everyone has atleast one person on their list .... this is what is humanity. We Live for Others; We have no being of our own. If you protest try imagining yourself alone on a deserted island. My "religion" encourages/teaches you to help others other than self; love others other than self; protect and take care of others other than self. The question is not what we can do, the question...

How "Logic Taming" makes people illogical

We have entered the information age where we need answers to all our questions. If not answered we search for it. If we still are unsuccesful, we argue with self/friends and bring it to a "logical" conclusion. Logic is built into the neural system of each and every human being. I donot beleive it in being 0 or 1, because a problem could have unimaginable number of solutions and is dictated by the person analysing it. If we agree, why do we still like being "Logically tamed" by certain people/organisations in our society for eg. the government? I could with a reason and would encourage everyone to help me understand and contribute with their own ideas. A common man doesnt like taking risks. Over the years of our evolution we have come to terms with the idea of some wise-men taking control of our lives. We didnt like taking risks and loved the idea of blaming someone if things turn haywire. Although convinient, this put us at an disadvantage - we had to play by the r...

Reviving the Economy - My way

Dont mind...but I think Mr. Barack Obama is doing a stupid mistake, just like his predecessor G.W Bush, by going in for a stimulus package. According to me this would not help the current ailing american economy. $815 billion is roughly equal to american consumers (maximum) monthly spending, and hence if the economy does not revive it would last for only a month. What Mr. Obama has to do is to make the money flow in the economy like earlier days. Being a capatalist economy, the US cannot survive without its citizens spending money. So how do we make people spend in this pitiful economy? I have an idea...read on Il'll like to talk about a 2 step approach, based on the type of consumer: 1st the american salaried worker: For all the currently employed workforce, excluding the ones that unfortunately lost their jobs because of the recent turmoil; the salaries have to be paid in 2 sections. Let me take an example: If Mr. Bob is employed and earns $3000 a month (take home), he would be p...

Hullabu - A Customizable Meta Search Engine

A good friend of mine recently launched Hullabu, his long awaited baby. The website is actually a meta-search engine just like the "recently launched Leapfish", dogpile, mamma etc; but with an additional feature: It is Customizable. To start off, for beginners a meta-search engine is a search tool that sends user requests to several other search engines and aggregates the results into a single list or displays them according to their source. Metasearch engines enable users to enter search criteria once and access several search engines simultaneously. Metasearch engines operate on the premise that the Web is too large for any one search engine to index it all and that more comprehensive search results can be obtained by combining the results from several search engines. In short, Hullabu is very similar to kayak, with an exception that kayak concentrates entirely on travel, whereas Hullabu gives you the option of customizing your search by using the following variables: 1) It...
