BUILDING ON YOUR PROFESSIONAL DECLINE

Your professional decline is coming (much) sooner than you think

Arthur C. Brooks | The Atlantic

Walter Russell Mead writes: Another spring, another set of political crises in the Arab world. This time autocratic rulers, long past their “sell by” dates, have fallen in Algeria and Sudan. In both countries, factionalized ruling elites, insulated for decades from political pressures other than backstairs intrigue, now scramble to satisfy angry throngs of protesters without any idea how this can be done. – Wall Street Journal

HOW ATHENS DESTROYED ITSELF

4/3/2019

The Greco-Persian Wars, Part Five: The Destruction Of Athens
with Victor Davis Hanson via The Daily WireAs Xerxes' victorious legions triumphantly marched into Attica, panic swept the countryside. An estimated quarter million women, children, and elderly fled the region in one of the largest mass migrations of the ancient world. Themistocles decreed Athens must be abandoned. The entire population of the city and its immediate surroundings, some 100,000 souls, evacuated to the rugged island of Salamis where, as historian Victor Davis Hanson writes: “They were gambling that their own seaman, along with the still unconquered Greek allies from the Peloponnese, could wreck the Persian fleet before they all starved—and before the onset of autumn.”

TOI BLOGS: THE IMPACT OF MILITANCY

Snigdha Poonam and Samarth Bansal write: India is facing information wars of an unprecedented nature and scale. Indians are bombarded with fake news and divisive propaganda on a near-constant basis from a wide range of sources, from television news to global platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp. But unlike in the United States, where the focus has been on foreign-backed misinformation campaigns shaping elections and public discourse, the fake news circulating here isn’t manufactured abroad. – The Atlantic

Harry I. Hannah writes: India in particular may be able to exploit the differing perspectives to position itself between the United States and China to maximize its strategic autonomy. New Delhi may seek to triangulate between the two competing hegemons, actively courting them to extract maximum benefit, and bolster its global influence in the process. Indeed, in some ways this strategy is already being employed. This reflects continuity with long-established Indian “non-alignment” preferences, but it will likely slow the burgeoning U.S.-India strategic relationship and frustrate any emerging détente between New Delhi and Beijing. – War on the Rocks

Truthiness and India’s elections
Sadanand Dhume | AEIdeas
The comedian Stephen Colbert coined the word “truthiness,” which the dictionary defines as “the quality of seeming or being felt to be true, even if not necessarily true.” In India, “truthiness” appears to be the flavor of the day. It’s one reason why the Bharatiya Janata Party ought to be quietly confident about returning to power.
