The reality of scholarship schemes for religious minorities in India

What is the status of educational empowerment schemes for religious minorities? Why did the government scrap some of these programmes? How will it widen the gap between minorities and the rest of the population?

A point of trivia that I picked up at a time in my past as an activist is that the shopping mall of yesterday had its own roots in the town square and the apartment complex. While I do not propose hearsay to be true, I do promote that it is interesting; and it's in supporting the reasons held within the premise that I'll be writing this essay in favor of our heading toward a cyberpunk future.

In any other report, I would define even the most obvious of facets if it would be the core of the study, and I will do the same to cyberpunk here. Starting with punk: the classification of punk is a namespace where the personality forces of voluntary and involuntary collide. The punk did not give birth to themselves into a space that is like the way it was; and punk acknowledges that a person who chooses does the most beneficial thing to themselves in their influence. There would be some room for error in my definition; I think some economic abstractionist extremism slipped in there.

Cyberpunk is a literary simulation about punk under an infinite network. Not one time would it ever be proper to insist that a person stop networking in a cyberpunk narrative; their influence is as free as life can be until it requires other people's help. However, if every turn or crossroads you'll ever need is at the end of that reach you have with your fingertips, how can anyone or anything be more than a consumable and forgettable commodity? Now I've put the punk in the cyberpunk.

So, what would you tell me if I said to you that infinity is typically the problem with every idea; that the simplicity of gratification is the poison in the well that makes a metaphor for my grand and dashing need? If you told me that it's cool, because it looks like I'm right anyway, you would be subjectively correct. Infinity is nested into every applicable idea, at the junction of that practicality that requires the bold to take a risk and that surefire need that bring strangers to our doorstep. Choosing a goal and sticking to it means making sacrifices and trades, which in turn means making planning adjustments and adjustments to expectations depending on how much power is in your network.

…And that's why Cyberpunk 2077 has mega-towers!

Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the original Cyberpunk game and rule of cool definition, was a scholar of behavioral psychology when he developed it. These ideas relate to the means of keeping a population clear and calm on the developments they would choose. His dystopian world is completely irrational in the need to continue doing business, just like real life! Because the mega-buildings contain town squares on every fifty, seventy, or one hundred floors, the residents of the buildings collect in those areas where they engage in business and social topics. Businesses flourish in these spaces, and collaborators find opportunities to engage one another. I once called cyberpunk a consumerist hell, where everything you need is there at your fingertips if you can just find it in the pile of refusable crap; but mega-blocks are actually really cool.

The Buildings

The buildings would be stacked in this fashion: Business spaces on the entrance floor, with doors entering and exiting from the outside. This should create somewhere around eight business spaces. The internal doors would be magnetically locked, but welcome business access. Internally there are two elevators, and one of them has outside access. This elevator stops at the first four floors and the top three. There is a door leading into the building from that elevator, but it is magnetically sealed.

On the next three floors, I would install office space and one community kitchen on each floor. This office space serves a charitable purpose, to promote probono services in the arts and retainer fields. The kitchens would be intended to serve the same function, and so would need to be locked until they can be serviced if not cleaned, and need to be cleaned by those who use them.

Now on to residential.

The next four floors would hold studio apartments, with twelve per floor (in the wildest of guesses.) These studio apartments would enjoy a sky view with a glass front skyscraper wall. Keeping with the intent, these apartments would cost $50 per month. These would be perfect apartments for the disabled, elderly, or bootstrapping self-impoverished; and they have the price range to promote professional cleaners.

The next eight floors would hold two-bedroom apartments. These apartments would cater to up-and-coming families at a price of $100 per month. These would fit six to a floor, and each would enjoy glass walls for every bedroom. These would also be offered to businesses that rent spaces in the building as employee perks.

With the next four floors, I will acknowledge that 16 floors make a very small skyscraper by recommending that all apartment access expansion is to five-bedroom apartments. Two of these would fit on any given floor, with a price of $150 per month.

The next floor would be a residential park area, a beautiful and glass-housed indoor park for the residents.

The top six floors, unless the building were to be expanded further would be for low-income office space, in keeping with a focus on economic development. These would be beautiful offices, developed with an open floor plan on two tiers in mind. Each office would enjoy two floors of service space to meet their needs.

The 16 floors of the residential mega-tower should house an ideal total of 84 people per building. The business and philanthropic spaces should not be difficult to fill. The price tag, however, understandably would be.

The income would be as follows: $8,400 monthly per building's residential (with the above standard.) $300 monthly per restaurant. $600 monthly per office. With all paid areas filled, $12,600 per month. That could reasonably pay two people a living wage.

Fantasy is here creating an inspiring vision. However, we still haven't talked about the neighborhood.

The Neighborhood

My planning for this idea, which I honestly was thrilled to have an opportunity to share, supposes that it will be a 2-mile by 2-mile plan. That would be 3 city blocks by 3 city blocks, with 4 intersecting roadways and 9 planned buildings on every city block. The buildings would take space in a squared 12-building by 12-building grid.

The mega-buildings form the core of this plan, taking up 3 buildings on every planned city block. I also gave them 3 parking garages for unknown reasons, because I was only feeling playful. I have five classes of buildings in total, and I have shared two of them. I intend to share the third, fourth, and fifth now. The third is called a service mall. A service mall would function like a shopping mall, a denser outlet of retail services. However, like all three of these next three options, the service mall would also offer employee housing on a greater scale than the mega towers. The fourth class of these buildings would be a dedicated office building with employee housing, and the fifth would be a retail box - or large-scale retail space, with employee housing.

I'd like to stop and talk about the parking garages. I believe I can honestly say that my plan was built around balances, but I don't think I know of a loss in having these spaces. That's because I designed them to park more than the cars. With an outside elevator directly to the roof, there is room for park spaces even in high-security low-income housing. This actually means having a list of park options: dog parks, skate parks, sports parks, and children's parks - and with the need for diversity, comes the technological need. How does one create the soft ground on a steel and concrete structure?

I planned a small city, 12 miles by 6 miles. This city district would have plenty of room to dedicate buildings to the local government and have a dedicated bar crawl. The bar crawl would house a retirement village, which I think would be great for the elderly. Adjacent to the bar crawl would be health services and an extension of the retirement village. Adjacent to these would be the wealth and leisure zoning, where a business would be drawn by advertised discounts.

From here, I went on something of a wealth kick; I don't really expect much, but I think it's pretty. I developed this city plan when I just wanted to understand what a walkable city was. So if I were to separate the district properly, I would separate it into happiness, health, and wealth. The zone at the extreme distance from the bar crawl would be dedicated to school and government installation, and like in the wealth and leisure zoning, happiness and inspiration would be drawn by advertised discounts. In the middle, I would choose wealth and utility, attempting to draw finance and other services intended to cater to business ventures starting or established.

My neighborhood plan has a 2-mile area holding 48 of mega buildings for a company. This would make the plan profitable at 453,600 monthly for low-income housing.

This was a low-income housing plan.

Hello.

Now, will you be my champion?

I should actually tell you a horror story.

It seems absolutely reasonable that writers should remark on the spirit of we, the frail people, and inspire our souls to stir. They do; They very much do. In fact, it's the only way people are touched in their souls. Only fiction authors explore. Perhaps this is reasonable, a diaspora of scared people worried what power could do, or might do. However, imagination works much faster than the publisher, creating the school shooter experience we're having. That means we desperately have to find every fiction author with a savvy idea. Then time kicked us; where the genre system features a major problem, we share a flatland depiction of the priority of opportunities that doesn't provide a strong picture of diversity. But we make our best of it. Literature is in the hearts and feelings of every entertained person on earth. So why isn't this working? It's supposed to be working.

The monster is coming. Where literature humbles us into respecting each other: the monster will soon be here. Where with pulp and arthouse literature establishing the boundaries, didactic literature is possible and better for the limitation: the monster will soon be here. Where we have a portal into strange new worlds, to seek out new civilizations: the monster will soon be here. Where we are most human: the monster is here.

It is human to fail love until we know loss.

I am an activist. Are you me yet? This was a shotgun approach.

It was comic books. My highest ideal was comic books. My highest ideal is a framework that exists outside of praxis; one permitting a reader to be a voyeur into the heart and soul of desiring a collective civic utopia. My highest ideal was a simulation, asking someone to dream about what the many possibilities could be. Could my highest ideal really be comic books? In the word excelsior, I think you could find hope, dear reader.

I am a narrative activist, former #OccupyWallStreet activist, and educated philosopher; my method by heirloom is to process my way through my art. I am enrolled in Full Sail University, where I have been assured the opportunity to connect with people all throughout the entertainment world. I fully intend to seize upon the opportunity.

I'm returning to school now. I was diagnosed during my first college career with Schizophrenia, and I've been solving that problem since. During my time there, I studied art and media sciences in the field of Informatics. Now I'm entering the Ivy league of my craft. I look forward to seeing what I can do. While at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, I briefly studied philosophy as well, and while at #OccupyWallStreet I studied the praxis of making it right; I believe that I would like to try to achieve the magic of that word, excelsior.

I think it's far too rare that we think about our life's staples. When you see a brand on the shelf, you think: well, I have a need for that brand. You think: I'll just subtract out all the other brands. You think: Well, it's simple.

I've picked up that we're thinking these notions while studying the subject of why games impact us as people.

When we look at brands, it's fine. It'd be nice if we understood the delicate nuance in the balance between five flavors, and so as a foodie I think you're missing out, but it's fine. When you say it could be simple, it's fine.

That principled ilk; when they do the same to people they rob themselves of the truth, that life will never be as fulfilling as it is when we can't predict our friends. How can you introduce yourself to the notions that you have not thought of yet? Where friends who live wildly and freely have all this roundedness from their own personal start, thousands of opinions to draw upon from the dawn of their life, they of the ilk principled choose instead to talk small and choose silence and call the well-rounded fools. Personally, I embrace that fool, and one day lightning will strike and I will make fools of them all! You may have a well-rounded perspective, but I have well-rounded glasses.

I imagine that any human mind is always wandering, so those of the principled ilk must be extraordinarily busy. To redirect that much mental traffic means that sections of roundness are created by subtracting from the total of life. That's what we call a satisfying life now, or doubt that it isn't one; but we have a term for this exposure, I think, and that term is the Honeymoon Period. We call the Honeymoon Period that time when you get to know the limited nuance in a stubbornly hateful person, and while that person wanders away from aspects of you they didn't yet know; and in getting to know a person with the stipulation involved that there will always be a tragic end to human beginnings, we design a tragic end to human beginnings.

So I loath and lament to tell you, so many of our mutual best-case answers have intimidated our youngest experiences into accepting the tragedy. We mutually look at people and we say, well, I need you to carve away at your humanity. I need a brand, not you as a person. It's widely believed that people when they're allowed to surprise you can surprise you with the goodness they are capable of. I believe, just like in the marches on Selma, if you grind and hustle to develop the goodness as a set of skills, you can even get hit by a racist and make yourself the best thing they've known.

I believe we need each other. Even with my belief that we need to decolonize our minds, I believe that we need each other. I believe that we have a transhumanist responsibility, that we accept a person for how they would change, but we change ourselves to instruct that person. I believe in movements. I believe in boot camp. I believe that happiness is the end outcome, and I believe that criminals exist. I believe that there are those who would harm others to make slaves their plantation. I believe there are those who collaborate with an ancient foreign power base, the origins of which are probably extinct, that answered every question with ‘just skip it’ and mobilized armies to enforce it; but I weave a strong story, so let me cut to my facts. I believe that there are several ways you could find yourself to be colonized:

The first is the best set of answers that the beginning of time could produce that will skip anything that had formerly been informal options but in time merited a definite ruling.

The second is the best-fit answer that a combative party could produce to catch persuasion with the people.The third is the best cost answer that an insensitive and discourteous distant power could produce to grind a body popular into a slow profit.

I believe that every of these answers is destruction oriented, and I believe that all their destruction ever did was create a mirror image of the original problem. Perhaps I don't give people enough credit. Perhaps there were actual ages of heroes and great epochs where there was great care given to nurture these colonized minds. I ask, what does that mean here? What do we do now? I keep trying to answer that question; a sentiment I doubt I'm alone in, so I'm going to go be alone for a while. I'll be back to my essay after this paragraph.

When you see a brand on the shelf, you think: well, I have a need for that brand.

When you see it, you're not thinking: I need to be sorrowful because real needs to get real. Because it might hurt me or it might hurt you but if I really want to be happy then I must be courageous. Because I couldn't hurt myself more than by leaving myself in vulnerable places. Because life is unforgiving.

When you see it, you're not thinking: I need to be punked up. Pretty, pretty punk. I'll spend your money punk. I'll volunteer to be a punk and break it if it shatters punk.

When you see it, you're not thinking: I need to be caged in if I like it. Freedom ain't like the cage, but it certainly doesn't respect you more than I do Cajun. I must have it means I have bad habits. Save me from me Friend.

All of these things mean something destructive if you just don't take your foot off the metal and ease off the gas pedal. Going fast all the time isn't how you stay fast. It takes a moment with a person to understand how they live; so it takes reformatting some of my heirloom assumptions to understand how to give. When in business together, person is brought on with the company because they would do the work. In work and in life, my assumptions have got to learn: gotta get out of their fucking way; If you'll please excuse my punk.
