Oh, is it?
Interesting that al four countries have stood up against the US.
France - Opposed Iran and trade war.
Spain - Won't aid US in Iran War.
Chile - Opposed coup of VZ.
India - Won't easily sign a trade deal, won't stop Russian oil, Won't give easy entry for US companies.

Congratulations JSR 😊
Precision. Power. Pride.
A significant milestone for the #IAF and Indian Industry. The Indian Air Force successfully conducted the drop of an indigenously designed & developed Long Range Glide Bomb (Khagantak-243). The Trials met all objectives scaling new peaks of lethality through #AtmanirbharBharat

Prayer of the day: God give me the courage to read through documents that already clearly appear to have been made by Claude. May be they are well-thought by the author, and he/she has merely used AI for formatting. 🙏🏽

This is an excellent piece by Anuj Ji & Piyush Ji. Leave everything whatever you are doing and give it a read.
I will add a little further to this...
Licence Raj trained an entire generation of Indian promoters to see the state as patron, not referee. We did not build a global brand under that system; we built relationships in Delhi. We did not out-innovate a competitor; we got them denied a licence.
35 years of liberalisation opened the market, but nobody ever forced Indian industry to unlearn the reflex. So when the doors opened, the smartest move for a promoter raised on that system was not "go build the next Samsung", it was "sign a JV with the actual Samsung, take the margin, keep the family holding intact, let Seoul do the risk."
That is a rational response to 70 years of being taught the state, not the global market, is the thing we have to win over.
This hangover survived 1991 because the people running economic policy after liberalisation were often the same intellectual class that designed the licence system in the first place, just administering a slightly more open version of it.
Nobody with real skin in nation-building asked Indian promoters the one question the chaebols were asked: what have you built that the world actually needs? We opened the market to foreign capital and called it reform. We never demanded reciprocity, because demanding anything of capital still smelled, to that class, faintly of the socialism they had just supposedly abandoned.
What has changed only in the last decade is the beginning of an actual answer:
- PLI schemes with output tied to targets
- Atmanirbhar Bharat as a stated doctrine rather than an embarrassed afterthought
- a govt finally willing to say India's market access is worth something and should be priced accordingly
- semiconductor missions, defence indigenisation, a state that negotiates from strength instead of gratitude.
Anuj Ji & Piyush Ji's sunset-clause proposal is exactly the next honest step: stop being polite about protection, make it transactional, make firms earn it by winning abroad.
I and Piyush Doshi highlight in today's Economic Times how of every ₹100 of profit generated by an MNC in India, only about ₹56 stays here. No other large emerging economy performs this poorly. China keeps 91%, Indonesia 96%, and Brazil 88%. The plain truth is, in the global economy, India works for wages, while others earn royalties. Indian labour, factories and consumers generate enormous value. But assets that command a premium - brands, patents, platforms, proprietary technology - are owned elsewhere. It is time to change that through focused reforms and R&D spend by the private sector. Indian Maharaj must command royalties not just wages.

“For 50 years they’ve sold us a shrunken future: less energy, fewer children, less ambition, managing the decline cleanly. And then, all of a sudden, the world’s biggest financial asset is a bet on abundance, expansion, and adventure. Pessimism just went short on itself.” 🔥
SpaceX a clôturé son premier jour de cotation à 2 100 milliards de dollars, +19%. Tout le monde regarde le chiffre. Personne ne regarde ce qu'il price réellement.
Laissez-moi vous dire ce que le marché vient d'acheter, et pourquoi je pense que cette boîte vaudra 30 à 50 trillions d'ici 5 ans.
D'abord, le symbole. Cette IPO est un référendum. D'un côté, 20 ans de discours sur la décroissance, la sobriété, la redistribution, la fin de l'histoire gérée par des comités. De l'autre, un homme qui a dit "je vais rendre l'humanité multiplanétaire", que tout le monde a traité de clown, et qui vient de créer la plus grosse entreprise cotée de l'histoire en partant d'un entrepôt à El Segundo. Le marché a voté. Le wokisme avait des départements RH, SpaceX avait des fusées. Les fusées ont gagné.
Ensuite, la mécanique économique, parce que c'est là que tout le monde se trompe. Les analystes valorisent SpaceX comme une entreprise de lancement plus Starlink. C'est comme valoriser Internet en 1995 sur le marché du fax. Starship ne réduit pas le coût du kilo en orbite de 20%, il le divise par 100. Et chaque fois dans l'histoire qu'un coût d'infrastructure est divisé par 100, ce n'est pas le marché existant qui grossit, ce sont des industries entières qui naissent. Le coût du calcul divisé par 100 a donné Internet, le smartphone, l'IA. Le coût de l'orbite divisé par 100 va donner une économie spatiale complète.
Faisons la liste de ce qui devient rentable quand le kilo en orbite coûte le prix d'un billet d'avion. Les data centers orbitaux, avec énergie solaire continue et refroidissement gratuit, au moment exact où l'IA fait exploser la demande énergétique terrestre. La fabrication en microgravité de semi-conducteurs, de fibres optiques, d'organes imprimés impossibles à produire sous gravité. Le tourisme orbital de masse, puis les hôtels lunaires, qui passeront du fantasme au business plan exactement comme la croisière de luxe au 20ème siècle. Le transport point à point terrestre, Paris-Tokyo en 40 minutes. L'industrie minière des astéroïdes, dont un seul corps de classe M contient plus de métaux que tout ce que l'humanité a extrait depuis le néolithique. Et Mars en ligne de mire, pas comme destination touristique, mais comme le plus grand projet d'infrastructure jamais entrepris, avec tout ce que ça implique de demande en énergie, matériaux, robotique, IA.
SpaceX ne participera pas à ces marchés. SpaceX possède le péage d'entrée de tous ces marchés. C'est AWS, mais pour la civilisation. Apple vaut 3 500 milliards en vendant des rectangles de verre sur une seule planète. Le premier monopole d'accès à une frontière infinie à 30 ou 50 trillions dans 5 ans, ce n'est pas de l'exubérance, c'est une simple règle de trois sur l'expansion du marché adressable.
Et maintenant, la partie que je préfère. Ce futur n'a pas besoin de bureaucrates. Il n'y a pas de comité consultatif en orbite. Pas de commission Théodule sur Mars. Chaque dollar de cette nouvelle économie sera créé par des ingénieurs, des techniciens, des soudeurs, des pilotes, des entrepreneurs. Les diplômés en gestion de la norme vont devoir apprendre un métier utile, et franchement, c'est une excellente nouvelle pour eux aussi : construire est infiniment plus fun que contrôler.
Parce que c'est ça, le vrai signal d'aujourd'hui. Pendant 50 ans on nous a vendu un futur rétréci : moins d'énergie, moins d'enfants, moins d'ambition, gérer le déclin proprement. Et là, d'un coup, le plus gros actif financier du monde est un pari sur l'abondance, l'expansion et l'aventure. Le pessimisme vient de passer en position vendeuse sur lui-même.
Le futur sera méga fun. Il y aura des hôtels avec vue sur la Terre, des honeymoons en orbite, des gamins qui diront "papa, c'était comment avant les fusées réutilisables" comme on dit "c'était comment avant Internet". Et quelque part dans les années 2030, un humain marchera sur Mars en livestream devant 5 milliards de personnes, et ce jour-là plus personne ne se souviendra du nom d'un seul de ses détracteurs.
Achetez de l'optimisme. C'est encore sous-valorisé.

Advanced Agni missile with MIRV (Multiple Independently Targeted Re-Entry Vehicle) system was successfully tested from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha on 08th May 2026.
The missile was flight tested with Multiple payloads, targeted to different targets spatially distributed over a large geographical area in Indian Ocean Region.
Had pleasure of demonstrating our Made in India tech to the Minister of State (Science & Tech)
Exhibition at the “North Tech Symposium 2026” #Prayagraj depicts contributions by around 280 industry partners and #StartUps from all over India, with 284 stalls showcasing cutting-edge defence technologies.
A strong assertion of India’s indigenous capabilities, sending across the world a message of not only India’s self-reliant prowess, but also the credibility of India’s defence equipment including Brahmos missiles and radar systems which have, in recent years, attracted buyers from over 100 countries including USA, France, Indonesia,Italy, Armenia, Philippines etc.

In high-pressure environments, it’s not just about what you can see it’s about what you might miss.
Humans get tired, attention slips, and that’s where mistakes happen.
With AI-powered imaging, the system continuously scans, detects, and alerts you only when it matters so you can focus on making the right decisions at the right time.

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

France has made planned obsolescence a criminal offense, becoming one of the first countries in the world to treat deliberate product shortening as a serious crime.
Manufacturers caught intentionally designing electronics, appliances, or other goods to fail prematurely or become unusable—whether through hardware flaws, software updates that slow performance, or other engineered limitations—now face steep penalties: up to 2 years in prison and fines reaching €300,000, or as high as 5% of their average annual turnover in the most serious cases.
This landmark law, building on France’s earlier consumer-protection framework and reinforced by high-profile scandals (such as the 2017–2018 investigations into smartphone “battery-gate” slowdowns), explicitly targets both physical and digital tactics used to push consumers toward frequent replacements.
The legislation is more than just punishment—it’s a cornerstone of France’s broader “right to repair” agenda. By criminalizing practices that drive premature disposal, the government aims to:
- Slash the massive environmental footprint of electronic waste,
- Protect consumers from hidden “forced upgrades,”
- Encourage manufacturers to prioritize durability, repairability, and longer-lasting support.
France’s tough stance sends a clear message to global tech and appliance companies: the era of disposable-by-design products is ending. By leading the charge on sustainability and consumer rights, the country is helping shift the world toward a more circular economy—one where goods are built to last, repaired when needed, and discarded only when truly necessary.
What you are today determines your choices tomorrow. You today are a product of your Past experiences and memories built from it. So you can’t choose different.
But then, what’s the Right choice any way?
Tonight it finally clicked for me.
Neo asks her the classic question:
“If you already know what I’m going to do… do I really have a choice?”
And she hits him with the line:
“You’ve already made the choice. You’re just here to understand why.”
For years I thought this meant “there’s no free will.” But that’s not it.
Here’s the real insight:
Free will doesn’t exist in the moment.
It exists in the identity that leads to the moment.
The actions you take right now?
They’re mostly automatic - shaped by your conditioning, experiences, fears, habits, and past.
But the person you’re becoming?
That’s where your freedom actually lives.
You don’t choose the moment.
You choose the man who will meet the moment.
Or put in another way:
Determinism writes the past.
Identity writes the future.
Because when your life isn’t where you want it to be, the answer isn’t “make better choices.” The answer is: become the version of yourself who makes better choices automatically.
That’s the real red pill.
