Don´t freak, I´m Sikh

LOL. After a long discussion with ChatGPT on the theme "Which religion should I choose or check up", the system actually proposed Sikhism, Kashmir Shaivism and Shri Vaishnavism, but also Theosophy (and some others). 

Heh heh heh. Not sure if this means anything, really, but there you go. So not only can ChatGPT create new religions, it can even recommend the user old ones! Moral panic in 10, 9, 8...

PS. The robot actually included "caveats" as well, the one for Sikhism being its strong Punjabi-ethnic component, while the one for Theosophy was "can get overly esoteric and speculative"?!  

Don't freak, we're Sikh

Why do "blue check-marks" support the farmer protests in India?

Don't get me wrong. I support them myself. But why has it become a new form of virtue signaling to support these particular protests?

The farmers want higher government subsidies. How many blue check-marks have campaigned for higher subsidies to American farm country lately?

The angry Indian farmers also want cheaper gasoline, and the right to stubble burning, which causes air pollution in New Delhi.

A critic might argue that they want the Indian government to subsidize environmental destruction! 

Of course, I think I know the reason why. The government of Prime Minister Modi is Hindu nationalist. They oppress Muslims. And blue check-marks love Muslims.

But there's one problem with that too. The protesting farmers are not Muslims. They are, ahem, Sikhs. And Sikhs *hate* Muslims...

Perhaps the Twitterati really should virtue signal about something else, rather than meddling in Indian politics. Save the whales, maybe?

Check mate, liberals!
