Cioran’s observation reminded me of Rahim’s couplet, which captures the paradox of integrity: to remain true to oneself is sometimes to belong nowhere.
अब 'रहीम' मुसकिल पड़ी, गाढ़े दोऊ काम।सांचे से तो जग नहीं, झुठे मिलै न राम॥"
Translation
"The people on the right make me hate the right, the people on the left make me hate the left. In fact, with a man of the right, I am on the left; with a man of the left, I am on the right."
— Emil Cioran
The Arabic word qimār gambling shares the same root as qamar moon. The most likely connection per Ibn Fāris, is that just as the moon waxes and wanes, a gambler's fortune rises and falls.
Fun fact: Kant’s last words were “Es ist gut.” People like to make a big deal of this, as if it were an affirmation of the value of life (“It is good!)” or, as in this meme, an expression of indifference (“It’s fine.”). Both are distortions. 1/🧵
Guénon suggests that the three parts of Dante’s Divine Comedy (Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise) can be related to the three gunas of Hindu doctrine... sattwa, rajas and tamas, corresponding respectively to higher, intermediate, and lower states.
For the reader of history, the decline and disintegration of the Mughal Empire heralded an exceptionally fascinating and turbulent chapter in the history of India.
"Intermediate Microeconomics" is a free textbook that provides a mathematical treatment of the main models used in microeconomics.
The book develops consumer theory, preferences and utility, demand, production and cost functions, profit maximization, supply and demand, perfect competition and general equilibrium, before moving to monopoly, oligopoly, pricing strategies, game theory, asymmetric information, decision-making under uncertainty and much more.
I think it's an interesting resource not only for studying economics, but also for seeing how mathematics provides the foundations for economic models. Markets such as perfect competition, monopoly, and oligopoly can be described through precise equations and mathematical relationships that determine how to make decisions, set prices, choose quantities, and interact with competitors.

"Mathematical Foundations of Deep Learning: Theory and Algorithms" is one of the most interesting resources I've shared on the mathematical foundations of deep learning. It's a new 2026 book with more than 300 pages dedicated to understanding deep learning from a mathematical perspective.
The materials in this book are organized around several foundational themes, covering deep neural networks and approximation theory, the Universal Approximation Theorem, network architectures and training, automatic differentiation, deterministic and stochastic optimization, reinforcement learning, and Markov decision processes.
An entire chapter is also dedicated to the mathematical foundations of generative models, covering VAEs, GANs, diffusion models, probability density control, and flow matching.

@iviso@singh_adhishree The Buddha’s own account of his origins provides a significant geographical clue to his background. When Bimbisāra asks him about his birth, the Buddha states that, in the north, near the slopes of the Himalayas, there was a land associated with the Kosalans.
@iviso@singh_adhishree In the Dhammacetiya Sutta (MN 89), King Pasenadi of Kosala ( contemporary of Shakyamuni ) explicitly states that the Buddha was Khattiya and Kosalan, just as he himself was: “Bhagavāpi khattiyo… bhagavāpi kosalo.”
Hegel received his first appointment in teaching at the age of 48, Kant was almost 56 years old when his work was finally appreciated by the learned community. Heidegger was almost 40 years old when he published his first publication which was Being and Time. There's always hope!
