“But there was one occasion when we went down to a village to set up our feeding kitchens and I noticed there was another relief operation there that had the same American supplies that we had who were doing something quite different. They were organizing food-for-work programs so that the people in the village would actually work and be paid in food. And the work they were doing were things that would help the whole village…..building a road or a school…..building a dam to catch the water when the rains came again…..building tube wells to tap deep into the aquifer. So the villagers were given the dignity of work at the same time they were providing something for the infrastructure of the village. I said: “That’s really smart. Who are these people?” Gandhians. They were members of the Sarvodaya Movement….the Gandhian Movement. And I said: “That’s what I want to do.”

“For these two years I have been gravitating towards your doctrines, and since the publication of your primula paper with accelerated velocity. By about this time next year I expect to have shot past you, and to find you pitching into me for being more Darwinian than yourself. However, you have set me going, and must just take the consequences, for I warn you I will stop at no point so long as clear reasoning will take me further. {Letter of support to Charles Darwin on his theory of evolution}”

“It’s a shame that you have to lie and say someone is selling alcohol or there is a party going on to get police attention in South Africa. If you call and tell them about crime being committed, Gender Based Violence or drugs being sold. They don’t respond or show up. It’s like criminals join police force to commit their crime officially and using states resources. Our police only want to arrests people who are innocent and they let go of criminals.”

“Women when they want to be made to feel good about themselves. To be loved, respected, admired. They go to the single guys whom they say are boring and lame. When they want money, to act ratched, wild, and to be taken advantage of. They go for criminals, bad boys, married men or men who are already in a relationship.”

“You don’t have to lie to tell the truth. One lie of what is happening or what happened makes the whole thing unbelievable and questionable. Most cases are thrown out in court not because the incident didn’t happen, but it is because someone lied when testifying because they wanted so much conviction and to make the other person pay.”

“Many people are afraid of AI taking over jobs, but the most dangerous aspect of AI is when managers and companies rely on it to make critical decisions, such as hiring or firing employees, performance appraisals, promotions or demotions, and disciplinary actions. AI only responds based on the data it's given, and it often doesn't account for human elements like emotions, feelings, or gestures. These deeply personal and human factors are usually excluded, which means the decisions AI makes can be flawed, especially if the input data is inaccurate or incomplete. It becomes even more concerning when people start making personal decisions, like who to date or marry, based on AI suggestions without questioning the results. When people judge others based solely on AI outputs, without truly knowing or understanding them.”
