@AkkkuHaan bhai I m sometimes rigid in my views because earlier I was easily swayed and I tasted defeat everywhere in life.
Since the time I have started believing in myself and listened to others less,life has been much easier and pretty good and with less hurdles..

Bilkul. You can try to direct the convo towards FoE, absence of such late night shows in India, why such shows failed in India ( I remember Shekar Suman trying to pull off sth of this kind) etc.,

@TETRACYCLINEMorality matlab that value one? I wrote on it. I fundamentally built on the concept of values being a necessary social construct, but in never being anything more than artificial. That every human is born like any other creature, but the need of a civilized society requires some rules to be followed, and that these rules over time came to be sanctified, became values. And thus the concept of humanity took root, the philosophy of humanity being a systematic belief in values, where values are the rules, spoken or tacit, that maintain harmony and form the bed rock of civilization. Then I expanded to religion, how in ancient times a ruler found it difficult to maintain order, and some thinkers at the very top came together and manipulated the human race, of a certain being that is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent who watches over your every action, where each such action is judged and punished or rewarded accordingly, and thus the term "God Fearing"became a compliment, rather than the abhorrent fear psychosis it promulgated. Then I went to what happens if a human does not possess the said values. As an African proverb goes, a child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth". And thus, it is vital that every member of a civilized society is indoctrinated in some given values for the civilization to remain flourishing, or at the very least, survive. And thus values are nothing but glorified rules, which inculcate humanity in a human being, born indistinguishable from an animal. And that life's aim is not to be fundamentally human, but fundamentally humane. And in conclusion, values are not what humanity is, but what it ought to be, an endless pursuit of perfection always aimed and seldom achieved. But it is our rock to be rolled repeatedly back to the mountain, and while doing so, in the immortal words of Camus, to imagine Sisyphus happy.
