I then make an attempt to see this principle in a religious light thus trying to offer a possible explanation of origin of religious principles, their important and relevance even in today's day and age, dominated by science and technology. https://knowledgeablyyours.github.io/audio/09-religion-and-prime-directive.mp3 Sun, 15 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000 1700 In this episode, I share some thoughts about the dangers of quantification of human qualities. The episode is motivated by a recent trip and a description of what I observed during this trip forms a major component of this podcast. https://knowledgeablyyours.github.io/audio/08-quantifying-quality.mp3 Sun, 18 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000 1627 In this episode, I talk about the importance of free speech and how it has been enabled and enhanced by many big tech companies and the platforms/services provided by them. Until of course, recently! I discuss how the major companies who may have once been considered champions of free speech, have now started hindering it. https://knowledgeablyyours.github.io/audio/07-free_speech_big_tech.mp3 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 2426 In this ironically short episode, I comment on why I do not intend to deliberately restrict the lengths of my podcast episodes. https://knowledgeablyyours.github.io/audio/06-why_so_lengthy.mp3 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 889 In this episode, I do some loud thinking on news, comedians and comedians who do news! PS: Towards the end, I very confusingly say, "I am not against banning." This is a double negative by accident. I am against banning! It should be obvious from the next statement - "I believe in free speech." https://knowledgeablyyours.github.io/audio/05-news_and_comedy.mp3 Mon, 14 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 1983 We all have heard about E2E encryption and have soon begun to accept it as a private and secure form of communication. But is it really safe? What is needed in order to make E2E communication even safer? Enter Zero Knowledge Encryption. This podcast attempts to explain zero knowledge encryption in a non-technical and approachable manner. https://knowledgeablyyours.github.io/audio/04-zero_knowledge_communication.mp3 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 2897 Type 2 Diabetes is affecting more than a few hundred million people on the planet.

I use this opportunity to comment on what happened. As a bonus, I explain how podcasts work and also offer thoughts on the banes of automation. https://knowledgeablyyours.github.io/audio/02-podcasts_automations_etc.mp3 Sat, 22 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000 2112 My thoughts on the unfortunately popular Whatsapp... https://knowledgeablyyours.github.io/audio/01-whatsapp.mp3 Fri, 14 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000 2271
