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?"

Corruption's Enduring Grasp

Corruption's Enduring Grasp

The news of condemned convict Hasina receiving a 21-year jail term in a land scam is a stark reminder of a persistent challenge that humanity faces Condemned Convict Hasina Gets 21 Years in Prison.

I have, over the years, extensively discussed the multifaceted issue of corruption. Indeed, a quick look through my archives reveals 'Corruption' as a significant topic, with over a hundred blogs dedicated to exploring its impact and potential remedies Simplifying Search. My writings have often delved into the mechanisms of electoral reforms, taxation, and black money, all of which are intrinsically linked to the fight against corruption. The core idea Hemen wants to convey is this — take a moment to notice that he had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic years ago. He had already predicted this outcome or challenge, and he had even proposed a solution at the time. Now, seeing how things have unfolded, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, he feels a sense of validation and also a renewed urgency to revisit those earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context.

It strikes me as particularly poignant when I consider the grander, futuristic visions I've explored in my other writings. I've pondered the journey of Artificial Intelligence, from Limited AI to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and even Universal General Intelligence (UGI), predicting a future where AI might self-replicate, mutate, and even demand citizenship rights, threatening economic shutdowns if governments fail to comply A Journey to Singularity: AI, AGI, UGI. I've also envisioned a completely wireless future, where energy is transmitted through the air, eliminating cables and revolutionizing our interaction with technology A Wireless Future: predicted 34 years ago.

Yet, here we are, facing the very human challenge of a land scam, a problem that feels almost archaic in its simplicity compared to the complexities of AI ethics or wireless energy transmission. It's a powerful juxtaposition: on one hand, we project ourselves into futures where machines might demand rights; on the other, we struggle with the basic human failings of greed and abuse of power that lead to convictions like Hasina's.

This gap between our technological aspirations and our enduring ethical battles underscores the continuous need for robust legal frameworks, transparent governance, and unwavering personal integrity. The fight against corruption is not a problem that technology alone can solve; it demands constant human vigilance, moral fortitude, and a collective commitment to justice.
