Btw for those that are going to be triggered by what I am saying, please read the following very objective and unbiased article- arguing the opposite case while talking about this objectively. https://manifestimage.com/2022/08/03/abdus-salam-deserving-nobel/

Unpopular opinion - he was a great physicist. But what he got the Nobel for was for electroweak theory supersymmetry. He proposed the idea very casually. Frankly, it’s a surprise that he won the Nobel at all. This is yet another case of the Nobel prize committee playing politics about who to...

Most muhajirs belong to the religious class. Most of the “butt-hurt elite liberal class” lives in pockets of Punjab and Sindh. Muhajjirs are probably the most patriotic group in Pakistan.

I don’t think Pakistan is heading to a collapse. It’s just that what the IMF and the world considers to be solid economic policies is anathema to our political economy. Whichever party implements the needed economic policies pays for it with their political capital. Both PTI and Miftah had paid...

This is so dumb. This is the so called literate class. Probably wouldn’t know how to do basic arithmetics if it hit her in the head. STEM? forget about it.

The figures I bring up are the founding fathers. Bhutto’s socialism slowly poisoned Pakistan. 1) By replacing the market economy, 2) nationalizing the schools which is relevant here as to why our education outcomes are so poor and 3) replacing merit with jiyalaism. Additionally he played his...

I disagree- Zia did screw up Pakistan, but the real damage was done by Bhutto’s socialism. Destroyed the economy, destroyed meritocracy. Also arguably, for the national direction, whoever assassinated Liaquat Ali. I agree Zia was bad and so was NS. But having a religious society is not the...

First, let me agree that Ayyub and Musharraf were good for the economy. Anyone who has an ability to see the numbers will agree. So for both dictators, I agree they were good for the economy. But I don’t have to like all their cultural, political or social policies. So yes, Ayyub and maybe...

This is a good point. First a number of courses in MIT are already available in their entirety online. Stanford and Harvard too. Pretty much the entire bachelors program for computer science for example. We could totally leverage this in classrooms. Also programs like Khan academy. Can fill...

Lol, from this back and forth- the rough neighborhood

You’re too low IQ to get the argument then. Not a problem.

The sign of hypocrisy is to not be able to hold a mirror and see your reflection. And also calling other people hypocrites. Again, please take note of the fact that I did not call you a hypocrite- just expounded the signs of a hypocrite.

Right, just like you. And like Jinnah when he lost hope in the Pakistan movement for some time.

Be an observer. I too am observing. And I will help Pakistan where I can. Clv.

Lol, you’re blabbering and reaching. Trying to put words in my mouth. I have a definition of political Islam that it separate from this. That I believe that Pakistan should be an Islamic republic does not mean I support everyone else who does or even that I support dictators who push for their...

No I am going to do that this weekend.

yeah, I’m in your party. Lol, if you read what I wrote carefully, you will get what I wrote. I have a definition in my mind about what political Islam is. I don’t know what the other person understand this as. Political Islam is not the same thing as politics btw. Hope you can differentiate...

Politics is the art and practice pursuing selfish purposes. What exactly do you mean by political Islam? If you mean I don’t believe that there should be religious parties in Pakistan. Useless discussion. We should be an Islamic republic and the laws should be in line with Islam, simple as...

Also our liberal friends may not be aware of this, but the private Islamic schools in Karachi have very good standards in Pakistan. The kids (mainly middle class) get admissions abroad and do well on international standards. The problem isn’t Islam or no Islam. The problem is that Bhuttoism...

Nope, political Islam is from founders. Read objectives resolution. Main problem is this leftist brigade. The leftists are the ones that gave us the bhuttoism that destroyed the economy- by replacing meritocracy with lackeying. And market economy with whatever it is that we have, ad hoc...
