Scam of New Startups- Burn Investor Funds to Artificially Inflate Subscriptions, Valuation for the Sake of Selling-off
#Airlift Only an entrepreneur can understand entrepreneurship. Books, videos, and theories by those who survive on monthly salaries can not help in making a productive entrepreneur.

Dr Irfan Hyder Youtube Channel Videos Topics and Links
I have come to the conclusion that social media especially youtube, Facebook, Instagram, and now even Google does not want people to remember chronologically and category-wise information that they have seen or even generated themselves.

Why Leaders Fail to Recognize their Own Incompetence: Bureaucracy and IK
Why People Fail to Recognize Their Own Incompetence. Incompetence of the “competent authorities” of pakistani government bureaucrats. And belief of PTIans in competence of IK.

Economic Hit of Pakistan and Illusion of Monetary Policy’s Independence from Fiscal Policy
Central Banks are required by law everywhere to manage and control monetary policy or value of money. There is nothing “natural” about value of money or forex rates. Monetary policy (always artificially crafted) works in tandem with fiscal policy and international policy to establish value of money. Tools used by fiscal/monetary policy include (1) interest…

Science and Technology Rat Race (ٹرک کی بتی)
We were mindlessly and blindly made to follow the chimera of science and technology.

How to Eliminate Corruption in Pakistan: Simplicity and Transparency of Bureaucratic Procedures
Corruption is directly proportional to the complexity of bureaucratic procedures and is inversely proportional to the transparency of bureaucratic procedures.

How to Sabotage Change (Tabdeeli) by Turning the Focus from Output to Input
Change Resistance from bureaucracy against IK’s “tabdeeli” agenda through very clever manoeuvre by taking IK’s eyes off the ball (output).
