๐Ÿ”ฐDimensions to dwell upon

โœ…Gs-4 : Ethics / Essay

๐Ÿ…พ๏ธHow will AI impact the future?- Jobs scenario

โšœ๏ธPeople either think AI will take all our jobs and make a few people super-rich, or they think AI will make so much wealth that everyone can live without working


๐Ÿ…พ๏ธThe overlooked issue: Even if AI makes us all wealthy, the real problem might be how people will feel about themselves if they don't have to work. Will this be good for them mentally?

๐Ÿ›‘Even if people have money, losing their jobs can cause depression, anxiety, and even shorten lives. Work gives people a sense of purpose.Simply giving people money without jobs might not solve the deeper problems of losing meaning and purpose in life.So the biggest challenge with AI and jobs might not be about money. It might be the emotional and mental impact on people who don't have meaningful work to do, even if they have enough money to live.

๐Ÿ…พ๏ธOne of the purest emotions is genuine appreciation for someone who surpasses you. In life's dark moments, feeling true happiness for a friend's success is priceless๐Ÿ™‚.

โšœ๏ธDear rankers, if you have such people in your life, cherish them. This hype fades, but true support endures. Your circles will naturally shift โ€“ that's growth. But when those who supported you face darkness, be their light, however small. It means the world to them. Let us all make this nation a better place to live because koi bhi desh perfect nahi hota hai- you know the rest....๐Ÿ™‚

To the person who inspires this message: You are not alone. I respect your privacy, but I promise a day in the future where things look bright again, at least I will try๐Ÿ™‚. This post is my testament, a reminder for us both when you are okay again..

This is dedicated to all fighters amongst us. Thank you for inspiring me. Your story will be shared when the time is right. Until then, let us work in silence- it defines us๐Ÿ™‚

Sincerely, VK

Please read the above document carefully- This course is not meant to supply information alone- It is about using the information from the most basic resources like NCERTs and then learning how to use them in stage 1 followed by incremental shift towards learning the application of current affairs. There are no shortcut "Techniques" and simplistic " formulae" taught in this program- It requires the student to execute the tasks and then learn "how" to use the information for the exam.
