samraja v0.2.0: - Epistemology

· 3 min read

Every society needs a story that binds them together. For a majority of America's history that identity was WASP. White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant. Since the 1960s this common identity has been eroded to the point that America does not have a common identity but a series of different ones. Each of these identities are competing for dominance within America and we have reached a point where the conflict between these identities is coming to a head. There will be a civil war of sorts, not necessarily a shooting war but a war of ideas and epistemologies.

Epistemology is the study of knowledge: how we know what we know. It is a foundational element of culture and society. When there is a common epistemology within a society, that society is able to function cohesively. When there are competing epistemologies within a society, that society becomes fractured and unable to function cohesively. We are at a point where America has multiple competing epistemologies. The problem with multiple competing epistemologies is that these is no singular identity of "American" anymore. Instead, there are multiple identities that are competing.

But the gist of this battle is that of American Empire vs American Republic. Further, it is divided along age groups, religious and ethic lines. The competing ideologies are: Consumerism/Neoconservatism, LGBTQ, multiculturalism, and MAGA.

When looking at it from this lens what Trump is trying to accomplish becomes much more clear. Trump is trying to create a common epistemology that binds America. In all the battles he is fighting, the underlying theme can be his fight against these competing epistemologies. This epistemology is one of returning America back to being a WASP nation.

  1. Consumerism/Neoconservatism. The tariffs are a way to destroy individualism which is a creation of consumerism. Individualism arose as a Baby Boomer idea as is defined by choice. Having the choice of 10 different peanut butters at the grocery store. By limiting choice, you limit the scope of individualism. However, individualism exists as a function of empire. It is only with an empire that one really has the ability to choose from a wide variety of things. By destroying the empire, you destroy individualism. Further, neoconservatism is the ideology of empire. By destroying neoconservatism, you destroy the ideology of empire. In this way we can see Trump's fight for peace with other countries and his want to leave foreign entanglements.
  2. LGBTQ. LGBTQ is fundamentally at odds with Christian belief system that Trump is looking to return to. The LGBT community can be considered the polar opposite of MAGA. And as has happened in other wars in WW2 the destruction of LGBTQ will be the last fight.
  3. multiculturalism. There is a war of culture in terms of: Blacks, Latinos/Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, and Chinese are all being suppressed. The refutation of Black Lives Matter, the deportation of largely Catholic migrants, the full removal of Muslims, viritol and limitation of legal immigration of Hindus, and anti-Chinese rhetoric. There is a new goal to limit the power of other voices and move the primary voice to be from white Americans.
  4. MAGA. Lastly, the last battle is within MAGA itself which is a battle of isolationism and empire. This is a battle between the elites that want the empire to continue and the non-elites that don't want entanglements.

So hopefully, I have made a case that Trump's goal is about epistemology and his actions when looked at from this perspective are about the true meaning of MAGA as a return to America being a WASP nation.

samraja v0.2: - Neo-Monroe Doctrine

· One min read

America is losing its Empire. Empires are built on conquest and a multicultural identity. However, with the death of the empire America is going to go through turmoil as it redefines itself. My belief is that what will result is a new world order of Pax Judaica with Hindutva playing a significant role in the East and a Neo-Monroe Doctrine defining America's new identity.

The Monroe Doctrine was a defining moment in American history where America defined its sphere of influence as the Western Hemisphere and warned European powers to stay out. The Neo-Monroe Doctrine will be similar in that America will redefine its sphere of influence to be North America only and will warn all other powers to stay out.

  1. Epistemology. A return to the cultural identity of WASP (White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant) as the defining identity of America. This will be a cultural revolution that will seek to suppress other identities including: Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ, multiculturalism, and consumerism/neoconservatism.
  2. Death of NATO.
  3. Greenland, Canada, and Mexico.
  4. Isolationism.
  5. Fall of the Dollar

samraja v0.1.0: AI Collapse, War with Iran, and Collapse of the American Empire

· 2 min read

Once the AI bubble bursts it will lead to a fall in assets and severe drop in Trump’s popularity. With the significant drop in asset values there will be an attempt to save face and the elites of the left will join with Trump to boost the economy. Unfortunately, the GPU assets will largely be worthless meaning there is going to be nothing to truly salvage unlike in previous bubbles. With this the baby boomers will demand that they be made whole in terms of their safety nets including Social Security and Medicare and the end result of this will be the creation of a distraction which will be to invade Iran.

The outcome of this is already known: America can’t win in Iran. The mountainous topology of Iran makes it impossible to win and America is largely setup for desert warfare. This war in the short term will boost the economy in terms of spending, lifting up stocks especially industrials, but overtime the US will ultimately not be able to pay off its debts and won't be able to afford the war.

Even if this war doesn't happen the US is already overextended and some form of pull back will happen.

The US will have to depart from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Japan as it won’t have the money to defend those places. For example, as of this week the US has left NATO all but in name. This exodus of American power will create a power vacuum.

The collapse of the American Empire is going to destroy the global economy and any country that has bet on the US dollar: China, Pakistan, Japan, Europe. It is out of this chaos that a new hegemon is born: Israel.

samraja v0.1.1: Pax Judaica

· 3 min read

What does every Western power want? Over the last 200 years Britain, France, the Nazis, and America have wanted to be the hegemon of the Middle East. As I stated in the last post, America will enter a war with Iran that it cannot win. This war will be entered because the West’s obsession with the Middle East even though the Middle East is not in anyway pertinent to America's current interests. The US, for example, has enough oil for the next 500 years.

But when America gets into this war it will lead to the collapse of its Empire leading to its retreat. While the talking heads keep saying we are moving to a multipolar world this is in fact incorrect. When the American Empire collapses we will see a new hegemon arise: Israel. We will see the birth of the Israeli Empire with all the American military bases being essentially taken over by Israel. This is Pax Judaica.

We have already seen what has happened with Israel over the last couple of years with its war with Hamas. Israel didn’t just go to war with Hamas it went to war with everyone of its neighbors. Israel attacked Syria, Lebanon, Qatar, and Iran. In every case the Israelis won. The Israelis were attempting to pull America into a war with Iran, but America thusfar limited its attack to the nuclear silos. It so panicked Saudi Arabia that it joined a nuclear umbrella with Pakistan.

Further, the Middle Eastern culture is based on the show of hard power. The killing of Gazans was in essence a show of hard power. A what will you do about it to the Islamic world. What Israel is capable of doing to any country that goes against its power. The show of relentless killing was not made for the West but for the Middle East. From the perspective of the Israeli’s the West is already in decline. Most of the important technologies that the West relies on are Israeli.

Lastly, Israel has been preparing for this moment for decades. It is building a dam to rival the Suez, it has been building its relationships with the Chinese, Indians, and Russians. It has built a vast and powerful intelligence network and it is ruthless in its execution.

However, there is one set of partners that Israel has been truly cultivating: the Hindus. The Hindus will be the main collaborators in this new world order of Pax Judaica.

samraja v0.1.2: Zionism and Hindutva

· 5 min read

Hindu India will be the mercenaries, managers, labor force and enablers of Pax Judica. Jew and Hindu interests are fully aligned. What we need to understand first is Zionism and Hindutva. As Zionism as a concept of Israel as a land for the Jews is known it is a bit more important to understand Hindutva.

Hindutva is basically Hindu Zionism. Sarvarkar, who defined Hindutva, was influenced by Zionism. His view was that India being a sacred land for Hindus and people of Dharmic religions: Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It sees Christians and Muslims as intruders and through the organ of the RSS has worked to suppress them.

In every way Zionism and Hindutva are converging. And in every way Israel and India are sisters.

  1. Both the names Jew and Hindu are Persian names for the respective people.
  2. Judaism was influenced by Zoroastrianism and modern Hinduism traces a lot of its traditions to the Vedas. Zoroastrianism and Vedic Tradition are again sister beliefs with many aspects being shared between the two.
  3. Both Judaism and Hinduism are non-proselytizing, ethnoreligious traditions where the land of the people is sacred.
  4. Both Judaism and Hinduism have a variety of traditions and a common cultural understanding of what it means to be Jew or Hindu. As a Hindu I may practice Hinduism differently from someone else but there is still a common understanding of what it means to be Hindu.
  5. Modern Israel and India were creations of the British, created to divide and rule against their Islamic counterparts. In that regard both Israel and India have had to fight against Islamic terrorism since their respective modern births.
  6. Both Israel and India have powerful intelligence agencies. Both the Mossad and RAW target at and focus on destroying Islamic terrorism.
  7. Israel in 2019 became a Jewish state, India will becoming Bharat a Hindu state in the not too distant future.

All of the above makes Israel and Hindu India natural allies. Israel with its 8 million highly educated and innovative population will use India's 1.4 billion people as its manufacturing, labor, and managerial base. Further, with Israel in the West and India in the east both countries can essentially control and subjugate the entirety of the Islamic world.

One benefit for Israel’s ambition of becoming an empire is that India does not have the same ambition. India does not want to be an empire and what it wants are the eventual reintegration of Pakistan and Bangladesh into the Hindu Rashtriya. The Middle East has no importance for Hindus.

This combination of Pax Judaica with Hindu mercenaries will be the power structure of the world. This has already been proved to be effective in the West. Microsoft, Oracle, Google, Facebook, Intel, Qualcomm, Cisco, Broadcom, OpenAI are all major tech companies started by Jews. A huge part of these company's managerial and worker class are Indians, and a significant portion of their business operations are in India. This pattern of Jewish founders and leaders with Indian mercenaries has been a huge success of the tech industry.

In the US, Canada, UK, and Australia Jews and Indians make up the top two richest racial groups in those countries. So in effect Jews and Indians have accumulated significant wealth by working together already.

Lastly, in the US after Protestant-Catholic marriages, Jews and Hindus are the most common interfaith marriages. So much so that they have their own name of "Hinjews."

The innovation and risk taking of Jews and the managerial aspects of Hindus are also a reflection of their cultures. Jews have been continuously kicked out of their land and have had to be innovative to survive and continue their traditions. This has lead to a culture of innovation and risk taking.

Hindus have continuously had to defend their land against invasions including: Alexander the Greek, Persians, Ghengis Khan, Islamic invaders, and the British. So the culture is more one of managing and defending the culture and region which are more based on management and allocation of resources than innovation. Not to say Hindus haven't innovated but the innovations have largely been in the managerial arenas. For example the Hindu system of numbers, the number 0, and bookkeeping were all Indian ideas. Even the Arthashastra is a treatise on management and statecraft. The Bhagavad Gita focuses on duty and action and can be read as a manual for managers.

Jews and Hindus then have cultural symbiosis.

Lastly, why only India? Why not China, Russia, South East Asia? I think there will be significant amount of Chinese and Filipinos interaction but not any Islamic. Plus, India for the next 20-30 years has a clear demographic dividend that no other country can match. But that is not to say Chinese manufacturing will not be used.

In the next post I would like to next discuss how Israel and India will work together for Pax Judaica.

samraja v0.1.3: Hindu Collaboration in Pax Judaica

· 3 min read

The collaboration in Pax Judaica with Hindutva will be multifaceted and will be determined based on Israel’s power. Let us explore what that will be.

  1. Israel is constructing a new dam to rival the Suez and it will be taking on a significant portion of global shipping. The Middle East is the center of global trade and will remain so indefinitely. The ability to defend this trade comes down to naval power. The current defender of this area is the US Navy. As I mentioned if the American Empire is dissolved then there will be no US Navy presence in the Middle East. This means that it will be India’s Navy that will be defending trade in the Middle East. With some Indian Navy ships also fulfilling this role now we can extrapolate that this will just increase.
  2. Arms and manufacturing. Israel is already using India to build drones. With recent deals, the defense industry is poised to increase significantly in India. Israeli know how will be sent to India to innovate and Indian workers will manage the production.
  3. Counterterrorism. With Mossad and RAW being exceedingly powerful both agencies will essentially become the new Five Eyes. And with both agencies being brutal it will result in a peace that will be based around a surveillance state. This is already happening in India with the Aadhaar system and will likely be expanded in the Middle East.
  4. Israel will help India destroy Pakistan. The Saudi Arabia’s recent agreement wirh Pakistan to develop a nuclear shield has pissed off both India and Israel. There will be a collaboration to destroy Pakistan. Pakistan stands only as a counter to India as long as the American Empire exists because America uses Pakistan to hold down India’s growth. Without America, Pakistan won’t be able to exist as it is essentially propped up by IMF funds.

I am sure that I am missing a few things but I think this covers a significant portion of the collaboration.

Why would Hindus allow this?

The harsh truth of the matter is that India is stuck. It has demography but the education system is antiquated which requires a full reform that will take a generation to resolve. India as I mentioned before innovates primarily in the ways of management not technology. While Indians at foreign companies have come up with great innovations, the innovation within India has been less than impressive. In a word India needs a partner that can be the innovator while India can be the manager and labor force.

And as I noted, India does not want to be a hegemon of its own and has shown no ambition in this regard anywhere. Whatever relationship it has with other countries has been economic, not political. For example, India and Russia ahs a great economic relationship and India does not impose any form of influence on Russia on their war with Ukraine even with the West pushing India to do so.

With this I would like to define who is the biggest loser of this new world order: Islam

samraja v0.1.4: Islam

· 5 min read

An interesting dynamic I am seeing across all the major powers of the world: USA, Europe, India, and China is a conflict with Islam. A common cause that each of these power centers will work together on even if they compete and conflict in other areas. For example, China and the Uyghur genocide, America looking to kick our Somali and Afghanis, Europe trying to deal with the immense North African and Middle Eastern immigrants, and India’s growing disenfranchisement of Muslims.

I think Europe will fall to Islam and will be where the Islamic resistance to Pax Judaica will be waged from. The recent push for a two state agreement by the UK and France seems to be in response to the Islamic elements in those societies.

Unfortunately, I do not think that Islam has the innovative foresight to defeat Pax Judaica. In terms of Islam as a religion it was once one of the most innovative. The simplicity of Islam within its framework are its limiting factor. The basis of Islam is five things: Shahada (Profession of Faith), Salah (Prayer), Zakat(Charity/Almsgiving), Sawm (Fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca).

Islam as a religion is simple and tries to do away with the contradictions of Judaism and Christianity. Muhammad's innovation and the revolutionary idea of Islam was its core belief of a personal relationship with God. That is the basis of the prayer five times a day. There was no need for an intermediary between the individual and God. Judaism, Catholic Christianity, and Hinduism were characterized by needing interpreters for understanding God. Rabbis, Priests and Brahmins interpreted God. In Islam while there are Imams, the daily prayer is a direct connection to God.

This idea that God could be understood empirically at an individual level was what led to the Golden Age of Islam which we all continue to benefit from in terms of the creation of modern science and mathematics.

This idea of God as personal was revolutionary.

The problem was that Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism took these innovative aspects of Islam. Christianity took it in the form of the Renaissance, Protestant Reformation, and Scientific Revolution which which were copied from Islam. For example, the Protestant Reformation was based on the Gutenberg press, paper was an innovation that the Muslims brought to Europe from China. The idea of the Bible being a personal relationship with God was taken from Islam.

Hinduism on the other hand developed the Bhakti movement from Islam's influence. The Bhakti movement was a person relationship with God whereas before God was limited to Brahmins who interpreted for the rest of society. Bhakti brought access to God to the lower classes and women. Further, the knowledge of God from Sanskrit to the vernacular also happened during this period. As much as Hindus don't like to admit it, Islam has been a major influence on Hinduism.

With the incorporation of these revolutionary ideas of Muhammad into the other religions there was one problem and that was Islam largely stagnated and became dogmatic. While Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism reformed Islam stagnated.

The collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War 2 and the Caliphate caused a crisis of faith within Islam. The faith has not recovered and can not recover from this. The end result of this is that with the loss of the Caliphate the core of Islam has become one of Jihad. Jihad against the West and Israel, and Jihad against Hindus. The progressivism and coexistence before the 20th century has given way to harsh dogmatism and the rise of political Islam which will lead to Islam’s eventual collapse.

This is where we are: with Pax Judaica and Hindutva there will be a collapse of Islam. Hindutva is rapidly accelerating and accumulating power within India and will destroy and take over all Islamic places of worship. There won’t be a place for Islamic worship within India. After all if Hindutva defines India itself as a holy land for Hindus where does any Islamic site belong in such a place even if that place has been in the country for a millenia? So the future of Islam in India is on its last legs with reconversion the likely long term goal of Hindutva.

The tricky part is the Middle East and North Africa. The bind of these areas is the Arab identity, that Arab identity is bind to Islam. The Hajj binds Arabs and other Muslims to Islam. What happens when Saudi Arabia is subjugated by Israel and Israel commands who can worship in Mecca? It breaks one of the pillars of Islam. Once you destroy the binding of Islam to Mecca you essentially destroy the common identity of Arabs.

I do not know how Islam will recover from this as it is not setup for reformation like the other religions. Maybe the long term goal is to have Israel and Iran make peace once America is out of the picture and have the Persians lead the Islamic world? This would make sense as Persians tend to be highly educated and they could be the ones that reform Islam back to the scientific world view that it once had.

But that is a big if.

I say it is a big if because I do think there is a theological end game that Israel has in mind which converges on Hinduism’s end game for this yuga.

samraja v0.1.5: Kalki, the Messiah, and Convergence of Theology

· 2 min read

Kalki is the next avatar of Vishnu coming to the world to restore dharma at the end of the Kali Yuga. He is provided a sword with the beams with the power of a thousand suns, and a horse that moves at the speed of thought, and supernatural abilities. There is a belief that the recent reconstruction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will lead to this revival.

Judaism and Religious Zionism has a goal of returning all Jews to Israel, so that they can rebuild the third temple, so that the Messiah can return.

If one squints one notices that both aim for the return of the next avatar/messiah. Considering that Hindus don’t disagree with the holiness of Jesus and Mohammed. Swami Vivekananda was said to carrying both the Bhagavad Gita and the Imitation of Christ. Swami Vivekananda was the spiritual leader of Hindu Nationalism.

Christians consider the return of the Messiah/Christ will trigger the rapture and this does not disagree with the Hindu theology of Kalki. Once Kalki restores dharma, Shiva will induce the destruction of this cycle of the universe to start anew.

I do think that the endgame of Hindus and Jews has similar prophetic similarities. While the theological frameworks are different the endgame is the same. All of this points to a convergence of theology in this new world order of Pax Judaica and Hindutva.

samraja v0.1: Pax Judaica

· One min read

I explore what I expect will be the coming world order of Pax Judaica and Hindutva. This belief is based on the following premises:

  1. Collapse of the American Empire. The collapse of the American Empire is inevitable due to internal decay, big debt crisis, and overextension. A war will be a catalyst for its collapse, leading to a power vacuum.
  2. Pax Judaica. With the collapse of the American Empire we will see the rise of a new hegemon and global power: Israel.
  3. Zionism and Hindutva. Zionism and Hindutva share similar ideologies and goals, leading to a natural alliance between Jews and Hindus. This alliance will shape the future geopolitical landscape.
  4. Hindu Collaboration in Pax Judaica. How Hindus will collaborate with the new world order under Pax Judaica and why Hindus will play a supportive role in this new order.
  5. Islam. Why Islam will be marginalized and will likely collapse as a major world religion under Pax Judaica.
  6. Convergence of Theology. The convergence of religious prophecies between Judaism and Hinduism being the basis for Pax Judaica and Hindutva.

niti v0.3: Releases, Issues, Bugs, and Waste

· 2 min read

One of my favorite apps is the Notes app. With 18,883 notes in my Done folder. It is more a todo system than a Notes app per se. However, one of the problems I have with the Notes app is that I just don’t seem to define a full project. They are always half assed and I have to continuously revisit projects. This just makes things feel like they never get done. There is no measurement of the number of projects actually completed. Basically, it is a rolling spec that always changes and is not really defined. Lastly, this all lives within my Notes app so the actual goal is never communicated to the broader team.

If you were to ask me how many company projects I have completed this year and how do I know if they were successful the answer to that question is I don’t know. I am just at a loss for the outcomes because I honestly don’t know the outcomes. The baseline for using the Notes App is I can move fast with the consequence that my team doesn’t really know what to expect next until I tell them.

The main reason that I moved to the Notes app was Notion was slow and became unweildy and to be frank I wanted a simpler system. But the problem with the Notes app is that I am the only one who has access to my notes so others aren’t really able to access them.
