I am participating in a debate competition, the topic is "is AI boon or a Bane in education" i will be speaking in favour of the motion (i.e: boon) I am looking for new perspectives/resources/quotes to make my position stronger in the competition. any help would be appreciated, thank you

True, the topic is very loaded and it is challenging to take a definitive stance. But I'm participating in this debate primarily to improve my speaking skills and overcome stage fear. Besides The nature of the competition is more generic than professional, with a relatively low bar set for participants, Yet my aim would be to give my best.

I think AI can be seen as a complimentary tool which can help students develop critical thinking & logic, i.e: using Chat gpt to write an assignment at home and with no AI system discuss & critique it in the class. This will raise the bar for students and inspire newer ways to think & reason.

All of them are too generic

In social settings, I find it challenging to connect with others because I am naturally drawn towards existential topics, truth-seeking, and philosophical discussions. While I do enjoy some light banter, my preference leans heavily towards deep conversations but the majority of people around me prefer fun banter, which makes it difficult for me to establish genuine connections. I have recently begun my post-graduation course, where active participation and engagement with classmates are essential, in lectures I can very well adjust myself because I am always looking to learn new things but off the class it gets awkward & difficult for me to flow in a conversation, I feel like I'm forcing myself to interact in ways that don't come naturally to me. Under normal circumstances, I'm perfectly content without constant social interactions, but the academic requirements make it necessary for me to connect with others, and that's where the problem arises. I would greatly appreciate any advice or book recommendations that can help me navigate this situation better and find a balance between my philosophical nature and academic responsibilities.

Lol I didn't mean drugs when I said resources, besides i am hoping for more real & conscious approach.

@Nilsi Generally, i can talk to anyone, but all those conversations feel very forced and shallow to me except the deep & meaningful ones(which as of now I can only have with my girlfriend because she is quite open minded and likes talking about these stuff) While I accept the importance of socializing and engaging with others, it's an area I feel I need to work on because of my introverted nature. i like being alone, it makes me feel at ease & content. If it wasn't for societal expectations I would have been completely fine being alone but that's not the case hence, now My goal is to discover my flow state in conversation, something I've experienced only during deep discussions. In other situations, I tend to resort to making strange jokes and occasionally stutter because I feel pressured. Now My postgraduate course in human resource management has further emphasized the importance of communication and social connections. Hence I am finding resources in order to improve myself in that manner.

I am a budding content creator, I use Instagram to post my reels in Hindi, with my niche being self-help and personal development. However, I'm struggling with the efficiency of my content creation process. It currently takes me around 30-40 minutes to record a single reel that is roughly 60 to 90 seconds long. I don't follow a specific method, and I don't prepare a script. Instead, I have general idea of a topic in my mind and just wing it but that's obviously not working. What other strategies can I use to make my content creation process more efficient?

@Swarnimappreciate the feedback! I am going to experiment with various video editing softwares and keep these in mind. I am intentionally adopting the style of an average Hindi-speaking guy. Because i believe that it would allow me to connect with my audience in a relatable and unfiltered way, just as they would interact with their friends or family members.

@Swarnim yeah sure this is my page, https://instagram.com/elite.awakenings?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= i was anyway looking for an honest feedback from someone that i don't know, so feel free to share your thoughts. I think i am having hard time in converting my thoughts into words, because sometimes I tend fumble a little & miss pronounce some words while speaking, sometimes i get off track from what i want to convey, sometimes i just go blank in the middle, sometimes i have different ways to convey the same message but I tend to get lost in all of them at the same time leaving me stranded.

@Swarnim Honestly, I don't enjoy scripting a video, especially when it's only a 90-second reel. I prefer to convey my message in a more raw and authentic manner. When I script my video, I feel like my words are being filtered, and the end result loses its originality.

Conventionally speaking there are 9 types of intelligence,

there is this girl from my college that i haven't met yet because of the lockdown but we know each other for 8 months and i fell in love with her after few months of talking, and she also had feelings for me but i had relationship issues during that time so i asked her to give me some time to sort this out and she agreed, in the meantime because of some communication gap she started to think i was loosing interest in her and out of nowhere she started to date someone and she told me about him after a week and i was not ready for that, it hit me hard.....long story short i confront everything to her and she also did and we both realized where the miscommunication happened but now that she is in a relationship with someone else she confessed that she still loves me and i already loved her but she also loves his boyfriend and she doesn't want to leave him and at the same time she doesn't want to lose me, and i can assure that she is not the girl who takes advantage of my feelings, her love is so pure. in fact our love became stronger and we developed more intimate connection after we cleared out our miscommunication. issue is i can't see her with someone else and she really seem happy with him, i really love her i want her in my life but given the situation i dont see that happening and it is eating me out alive, any advice would be appreciated.

as a man i dont like doing this to her boyfriend, & honestly the way we talk i can see this situation between me & her going sexual in future. what would you say about that ?

i am partially happy but i am worried about what next & also if i am doing something wrong

@flowboy she just posted a photo with her boyfriend, she met him today. i am meeting her in 2 days. if it wasn't for corona we would be attending the same class together now. if i wait for things to get "real" i would lose so many things already. she is the only one that i met in the span of my 19 years of life that actually understands me. metaphysically too, the amount of synchronicities happened between us feels like a literal magic. i never felt this close to someone else in my life. @eaaaeaeae i already mentioned she loves me & i love her, i tried letting her go but i failed, she does not want me to go and i dont want it either.

I do have her love but the fact that she is with someone else and that someone could have been if I would have done some things particularly, this is why I suffer & honestly I don't see any way around this suffering.

Yes, we discussed the same thing, we decided to be true to our heart & just go with the flow. Although sometimes I start feeling insecure about this whole situation but it's her love that heals me through it.

i am not sure, what should i do here. i love her, she loves me and we also express our love by saying i love you to each other and we both very well know how much this phrase mean. we have a very intimate sexual and emotional connection now (through calls) but sometimes i feel like i am wasting my time here by emotionally investing myself into this situation because she is already in a relationship with someone else, i feel jealous when we friends are face timing and my other friends tease her with her boyfriend, i feel like that could have been me, if things happened in my favor. but still my heart wants to love her regardless of the situation, i tried going away from her but every time i end up loving her more and more. she does not want to leave me either. she is also in a long distance relationship with her boyfriend and they also haven't met yet, but we(me & her) are meeting for the first time ever, in a few days. she will be meeting her boyfriend first and then me, we both have a 6 hours train journey planned together and we both are excited for it.

@Rilles how do you deal with it ?

Whenever i am consuming any types of content, i often find my mind projecting this idea that, you'll be explaining this concept to your friends & teachers and they will get amused by the knowledge you present, I imagine myself to the point that I am just copying the same words from the og creator and telling it to my friends & teachers. For instance i was watching leo's 9 stages of ego development video and I noticed my mind imagining that some day I'll explaining this to my psychology class and I get so sucked up in this that my mind is less focused in the content and more focused in how I'll be presenting this to my class and I have to back my mind to the content. I don't understand why this happen, it's not even that that I am consuming knowledge to just impress people, I love gaining knowledge and I do care about the truth but this behaviour of my mind gets in the way. I tried to explore and find what is this behaviour but I am not getting anywhere, What is this behaviour ? Is this people pleasing ? And how do I overcome it ?

@Elevated i do not impose any idea or concepts to people cuz i know not everybody is interested in whatever i am in, my only problem is i that i tend to lost myself in thinking about how I'll be explaining things to people rather than focusing on the content i am consuming, and it happens too often & I missed out so much content in the mean time, i have to get my awareness back to the content, telling my mind that this is important and not how you'll be explaining to people.

@hyruga yeah i do like explaining things, though i am not very good at it haha.

Is lower back pain at the age of 19 something to concerned about ? I don't feel constant pain but i do have it once in a while...like sometimes if i am sitting still(meditating, having meals etc) it suddenly starts paining(sometimes with a sudden jerk) and also sometime after waking up from sleep it starts paining, mostly the pain is not severe and it does go away in some time. just wanted to know if anybody had something like this and if it is something to seriously look after.

why do we need passion in life ? is follow your passion a good advice ? What if someone is passionate about something but naturally not good at it ?
