India's dominant position in global medical tourism by 2025 is the product of exceptional cost savings, high-caliber care, minimal wait times, robust government support, and a unique blend of ancient and contemporary healing arts. Westerners are drawn by affordability, experience, and technology, while Africans cite both cost and cultural familiarity. Strategic partnerships with Japanese firms like Toyota Tsusho and Secom are pushing standards even higher, particularly in super-specialty domains and hospital management.

... a deadly and vicious downward spiral

Sad to watch

I speak as a proud American of Indian origin, but alarmed about this sharp doom loop I see in the US Silicon Valley (moved here after Covid from 22y on the US NorthEast Coast, and its alarming to watch this unfold.

Many oldtimers like me are considering or have already moved back to India, as SFO is not a family friendly place anymore, and Indians are very orthodox + family oriented (in a good way).

deep research ancient Hindu Vedic Yogic Sanskrit language from Bharat that is India as a computer programming language due to its precise grammar unlike English of the invasive British colonialists âïðY(TM)ðYðY®ðYðY"±ðYðYOE

The notion of Sanskritâ"the ancient Hindu Vedic Yogic language from Bharat (India)â"as an ideal or even superior candidate for computer programming stems from its legendary precision, systematic grammar, and ancient intellectual heritage. Letâ(TM)s break down the deep research and current developments on this intriguing intersection:

## Sanskritâ(TM)s Linguistic Precision and Formal Structure

- **Rule-Bound, Logical Grammar:**

Hereâ(TM)s a concise, high-impact version of the previous answerâ"designed to bypass any âoelameness filterâ while preserving depth:

**Sanskrit: The OG Programming Language?** ðY®ðYðY"±

Sanskrit, the ancient Vedic language of Bharat (India), is uniquely suited for computing due to its **unambiguous, highly structured grammar**â"unlike English, which is inconsistent and context-dependent.

- **Paniniâ(TM)s Aá£áÄdhyÄyÄ (5th c. BCE)** is like a grammar compilerâ"4,000+ rules that work like deterministic code.
- **Zero ambiguity:** Each word encodes tense, gender, and caseâ"ideal for machine parsing and AI logic.
- **Algorithmic by nature:** Sanskrit grammar operates like a formal programming language.

**Real-World Impacts:**
- 1980s AI research (Rick Briggs) saw Sanskrit as perfect for knowledge representation.
- Inspired experimental programming languages like **âoeVedicâ** (even Rust-based).
- Now taught in comp-sci departments to fuse ancient logic with modern computing.

**TL;DR:** Sanskrit isn't just sacredâ"it's syntactic perfection. While the British exported chaotic English globally, Sanskrit may be the ultimate indigenous programming system waiting to scale. ðY®ðYðY'ðYOE

"the feds still have to pay back their own debts"

When the Fed expanded its balance sheet on both sides to buy private assets, whom did it have to ever pay back?

Have you heard about Yield Curve Control?

Also, if you print faster than prices rise, does real purchasing power increase despite inflation, and is that what the rich use to enrich themselves, and why can't we do the same to fund a strong basic income?

May I also thank you for calling me out on the 1/4 assertion, while still noting that 50-100% (and much more capacity is there, as apparent from 2008 and 2020 panics) deficits as a percentage of tax revenues can easily be funded by simply selling new bonds faster, and often at a higher price, than old bonds need to be redeemed?

Can you imagine Roman bridge-builders dropping or sliding blocks of stone of different mass in the course of their work,and seeing the heavier ones move faster, because, duh?

Can you imagine epicyclists measuring parallax and failing to find it, thus proving the earth doesn't orbit the sun as Aristarchus claimed, unless the stars were inconceivably far away? What differentiates your experiments and interpretations from theirs?
