In China, provinces make their own yearly dev plans. I was really impressed in Jan, when I read Inner Mongolia's 2026 plan & here is a look:

It wants to be China's main strategic energy base & produce 1.2B ton of coal, 3.1mt of crude & 31 BCM of NG every yr.

It wants to build 500kV grid along major centers w/ 15 projects.Image
For renewables, it plans to add 40GW to the grid for 170GW in cumulative installation & generate 300 TWh of electricity.

Plans to expand the major renewable bases along desert regions & deliver to other provinces.

Also build 0-carbon industrial parks, lithium industry & modernize coal-to-chemical plants to integrate green energy (like methanol).

Greatly build up the usage of RE magnet in NEVs & wind turbines.Image
With all that energy, it can support many future industry like AI Data centers. It wants to have provincial wide 400G/800G optical network to link up the DC clusters under construction by Alibaba & others. Goal of having 200 EFLOPS in computation built & 1.5m new servers. Image

I built a personal MBA using 12 prompts across Claude and Gemini.

It teaches business strategy, growth tactics, and pricing psychology better than any $200K degree.

Here's every prompt you can copy & paste: Image
1. Business Strategy (Claude)

Prompt:

"Act as a strategy consultant. Analyze my business idea using
Porter's Five Forces. Be brutal. Tell me where I'll die,
not where I'll win. Business idea: [YOURS]" Image
2. Financial Modeling (Gemini)

Prompt:

"Build me a 3-year P&L projection for this business model: [YOURS].
Assume conservative, base, and aggressive scenarios.
Show me which assumptions matter most." Image

The Great Metabolic Sabotage: A Perspective from Bharat

They didn't just sell you a diet; they sold you a narrative that demonized the very foundations of Indian vitality, the golden Ghee, the life-giving Surya (Sun), and the essential Saindhava (Mineral Salt). Under the guise of modern "wellness," global corporations systematically dismantled thousands of years of ancestral wisdom.

Between 1976 and 2026, as we traded our traditional Rasoi (kitchen) for factory-processed convenience, India’s health plummeted. While we diligently followed their "heart-healthy" guidelines, our nation was steered into a triple-threat epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and hormonal dysfunction.

This wasn't an accident; it was a masterclass in market creation. By labeling our nutrient-dense heritage as "hazardous," they manufactured a population that is overfed but biologically starved.
Here are the 7 systemic myths that fueled a health catastrophe in the subcontinent:

1/9Image
1️⃣ The Smear Campaign Against Ghee and Natural Fats

For millennia, Ayurveda extolled Ghee as Snehana, the ultimate cellular lubricant. Your brain is roughly 60% fat, and every hormone in your body is synthesized from cholesterol. Yet, global marketing maneuvers branded Ghee as "artery-clogging" to clear the path for industrial seed oils like sunflower, soybean, and rice bran.

The Reality:
These "heart-healthy" refined oils are highly unstable and pro-inflammatory. When we slashed traditional fats, we replaced them with hidden sugars and refined flour (Maida). The result? An explosion of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and PCOS across the Indian landscape. We traded a sacred fuel for industrial sludge.

2/9Image
2️⃣ The Narrative that Natural Protein is Toxic

The "Wellness" industry lumped farm-fresh, local protein sources in with Western, nitrate-heavy processed meats. In a country already struggling with protein deficiency, this pushed Indians toward a carbohydrate-heavy, grain-centric diet that fuels insulin spikes.

The Reality:
Humans in Bharat thrived on diverse, local proteins for eons. Demonizing these wasn't about "saving lives"; it was about creating a population dependent on cheap, subsidized grains and high-margin "protein powders" that lack the complex nutrient profile of real food.

These Claude prompts are doing 10 hours of research in 60 seconds.

I collected every one that went viral on Reddit, X, and research communities.

13 copy-paste prompts.

Zero fluff. Zero gatekeeping.

Here's the full list: ↓ Image
1. The “Contradictions Finder”

Perfect for papers, reports, or long docs.

“List all internal contradictions, unresolved tensions, or claims that don’t fully follow from the evidence.”

It catches things humans gloss over.
2. The “Reviewer #2” prompt

Yes, that reviewer.

“Critique this like a skeptical peer reviewer.
Be harsh. Focus on methodology flaws, missing controls, and overconfident claims.”

Brutal. Necessary.

Congress's social media timeline since the India AI Summit launched has been one long exercise in manufactured cynicism. Mocking the venue, questioning the intent, seeding doubt through their ecosystem. The usual formation activated.

But here is what that cynicism runs into: the world is watching India differently now. At the G20 Presidency, world leaders did not come to patronise. They came to learn. At the AI Summit, India sat at the table not as a developing country seeking validation but as a voice for the Global South on a question that will define the next century. That is a real shift in how the world reads this country.

The party mocking that shift spent years making India the international headline nobody wanted to be. Not in anonymous leaks or partisan claims. In TIME Magazine. In the World Economic Forum. In Al Jazeera. In Swedish Radio. In the withdrawal of world champion athletes from events India hosted.

This thread covers that record. Event by event. Quote by quote. The CWG catastrophe the whole world watched. The BRICS Summit that paralysed Delhi and made the WEF call the government in freefall. The 2G Scam that cost India a decade of tech leadership. The Finance Minister of India who told the world India was too backward for digital payments while India was quietly building the world's largest digital payment infrastructure. 🧵 1/6

September 2010. Delhi was hosting the Commonwealth Games. This was India's moment to show 71 nations what the country is capable of. Instead, TIME Magazine runs the headline "India's Commonwealth Games Mess." Al Jazeera and BBC are broadcasting the same footage on loop.

A pedestrian footbridge outside Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium collapsed three days before the opening ceremony. 27 construction workers injured. The false ceiling at the Weightlifting venue gave way the following day. International delegations inspecting the athlete village found stray dogs inside dormitories, human waste in common areas, construction debris still floating in swimming pools. 400+ dengue fever cases had already been reported across Delhi.

Scotland, England, and New Zealand publicly discussed boycotting. Australia told its athletes to stay in hotels and not move into the village. The world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, did not come. Triple Jump World Champion Phillips Idowu withdrew. Australian Discus World Champion Dani Samuels withdrew. The world's elite athletes looked at what was being broadcast from New Delhi and decided the risk was not worth it.

The Parliamentary Accounts Committee said the government had come to the brink of defaulting in a way that would have created national shame. Chetan Bhagat called it the biggest mass corruption since Independence. Azim Premji called it a drainage of public funds.

Now the money. Original budget: Rs 1,620 crore. Official final cost: Rs 11,500 crore plus. Estimated total scam value: Rs 70,000 crore. That made Delhi 2010 the most expensive Commonwealth Games in history at $7.5 billion. Treadmills procured at Rs 9 lakh each against a market rate of Rs 1 lakh, a 900 percent markup on gym equipment for a two-week event. Air conditioners at four times market price. The Swiss Timing contract was awarded at Rs 141 crore when a competing bid from MSL Spain came in Rs 46 crore cheaper, flagged by the PAC as unjustified expenditure. Four lakh slum residents had been evicted from Delhi since 2004 for Games beautification.

Suresh Kalmadi, Congress MP and Organising Committee Chairman, was arrested in April 2011 under IPC 120B and 420. He spent 10 months in jail. Then received a lifetime honorary presidency of the Athletics Federation of India in 2012. 2/6

March 29, 2012. New Delhi was hosting the 4th BRICS Summit. Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa in one city. The five largest emerging economies on earth. This was supposed to be India's demonstration that it belongs at the table of serious global governance. That it can run a major multilateral summit with competence.

The World Economic Forum published this during the summit: "Manmohan Singh's government is in freefall."
Not an opposition press release. Not a BJP handle. The World Economic Forum. Writing about India's own government during India's own BRICS hosting.

Here is what they were responding to. Traffic restrictions for the summit were officially announced for evening hours. They were imposed in the afternoon without any public notice. Commuters who had left home on a normal Tuesday morning found central Delhi locked down with zero warning. India Gate: blocked. Rajiv Chowk: blocked. Sardar Patel Marg: blocked. Satellite cities Gurgaon, Noida, and Faridabad were completely cut off mid-day.

Thousands of people were stranded at these choke points with no information, no alternative routes, no official communication of any kind. More than 2,000 police and NSG commandos were deployed. The entire Taj Palace Hotel compound was cordoned off. This was not a security emergency. This was the government failing to plan the traffic logistics of a summit scheduled months in advance.

The one lasting product of BRICS 2012, the New Development Bank that was proposed at the meeting, was not established until 2014. Under the government that came after. The deliberative momentum was there. The follow-through was not.

Compare: India's G20 Presidency 2023. More complex summit, vastly larger scale, greater geopolitical friction between member nations, and India drove a unanimous Delhi Declaration on day one. That is historically rare for the G20. The African Union was admitted as a full member at India's initiative. Ninety-three outcome documents across the full year of presidency. International press covering India as the host that brought a fractured world to a single table. 3/6

1/ The near-simultaneous shutdown of Starlink and Telegram are having a massive impact on Russian forces in Ukraine, according to Russian warbloggers. They say that recent Ukrainian advances are a direct consequence of the problems that are being caused. ⬇️ Image
2/ 'Two Majors' writes:

"[W]e can say that it was precisely the combined communication problems that have led to the localized Ukrainian Armed Forces offensives in the south of Kupyansk and in the Zaporizhzhia direction in recent days.
3/ "We didn't make this up; veterans from various parts of the front told us so.

Why are we so angry? Our people are dying there. Our comrades. And if our grumbling can make even a small difference, then it won't have been for nothing that we've all gathered here."

This is one beautiful chart.

Between 2019 and 2024, the Swedish health system took a step back. It would appear that school aged children were sacrificed for the greater good.

As a result, both 5-9 and 10-14 year olds were thrown back 23 years, while adult population continued to benefit from the health system.

I found the laziest way to make $187/day.

(I'm 33, making $5k/month)

The strategy is stupid simple...

Here's exactly how to copy me:
1/ Go to ChatGPT

Once you're on ChatGPT, paste this message:

"List the top 10 best-selling air purifier on Amazon that cost more than $100"

For this example, I’m going to choose the Dyson Purifier Cool
2/ Ask ChatGPT to create a TOP 3

Then paste this message into ChatGPT:

"Now I want you to write a 1000-word TOP3 script with 2 competitors of Dyson Purifier Cool mentioning the pros and cons of each product"
