Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Samudra Manthan [ Ocean Churning ] V 2.0






10,000  B C  (  Ancient  Legend  )



I am reminded of an ancient Indian legend of “ Samudra Manthan “ [ Ocean Churning ]



It seems Devas ( Good people ) and Asuras ( Bad people ) got together to churn the ocean , both desirous to get their hands on AMRUT ( Nectar of Immortality ) , hidden within the ocean



They picked the mountain MERU as the churning tool  and the huge snake WASUKI ,as the rope with which to rotate the tool , with one end of WASUKI held by the DEVAS and the other by the ASURAS



After a lot of churning , many things surfaced , some good and some bad



Then came out VISH ( Poison ) !



No one wanted that !  It would , instantly kill who-so-ever came anywhere near it



So , both the parties jointly petitioned Lord Shiva to drink it , in order to save them from complete annihilation by the poison



Being a generous and mankind loving God , Shiva drank the poison and held it firmly in his throat and became known as NEEL-KANTH ( God with green-coloured throat )



I have forgotten if the legend makes any mention of finding that AMRUT and who benefitted by drinking it



But I do find some striking similarities between this legend and our Information / Data driven society of today  !



Just substitute as follows :


*  Ocean ( SAMUDRA )    =    Database of past-present-future “ THOUGHTS “ of entire
                                           mankind


*  Churn ( MANTHAN  )     =   Big Data Predictive

 Analysis



*  Mountain (  MERU  )      =   Internet Connected  Devices ( IoT )



*  Rope   (  WASUKI  )       =   Artificial Intelligence ( AI )



*  Good  People ( DEVAs )  =   Scientists finding solutions to human misery


*  Bad People  ( ASURAs )  =   Greedy / Selfish / Power-hungry politicians


*  Poison  ( VISH  )            =   Malware / Spiders / Hackers / Evil software / Terrorists



*  God    ( NEEL-KANTH )   =   Central Server storing all “ Thoughts “ of mankind

Now, customers with no prior credit score can easily get loans


The burgeoning online lending segment in India is also giving rise to a new kind of challenge on sourcing credit score data.


To solve this problem, several fintech companies are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to create alternate lending data score for more than 80 per cent of the Indian population who have no credit scores.


From the place where people live to the restaurants they visit to their digital footprints on social media, ML captures it all.




2020  A D  (  Tomorrow’s  Legend  )



Following news snippet appeared in Times of India ( 29 April ) :








Misbehaviour on-board one of China’s high speed trains ( 20,000 km built in past 10 years ), can hurt a citizen’s credit score



The warning should not be taken lightly because, come 2020, a state backed  Social Credit Scheme “ will become mandatory



A loan default by a friend or a snide comment on social media could affect creditworthiness



Government will profile citizens based on their Commercial , Social , Trust and Judicial Credibility



Even refusing state incentives, say, by not having two kids, could be held against a citizen

Chinese  Surveillance  is  getting  into  Workers'  Heads 

https://futurism.com/china-emotional-surveillance/


Here’s how it works. Lightweight sensors embedded in workers’ hats or helmets wirelessly transmit the wearer’s brainwave data to a computer — it probably works a bit like an electroencephalogram (EEG), as MIT Tech Review notes


Then, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms scan the data, looking for outliers that could indicate anxiety or rage.


================================



Question :


How can we use our ANCIENT LEGEND to save the Mankind from the Poison and find that elusive AMRUT  ?



By substituting :


*  Nectar  (  AMRUT  )        =   ARIHANT-  the Saviour
