There is a documentary: Counting from Infinity - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBADiHU_0Wg

" I started to understand enough about the world/universe to realise that much of the true nature of existence is way beyond our ability to comprehend."

Can you quantify this with one of your own experiences? I will learn from it vicariously if possible. I am not militating theists and neither am I propagandizing atheism. Surprisingly enough these superstitions have saved animals and humans before (Ex: Hinduism, Bhudisim, Jainism, etc.) but caused more harm than good. I will look up people you referred and their writings. We will always be unbeknown about God or some super power because no matter how much technically advanced we become, there will always be layers deeper to dig into and we can never declare that we know everything to prove that God doesn't exist.

We can only fail to accept God but never truly reject him.

This is a universal truth.

You have all the freedom to be an agnostic(which I am too) and not an atheist, but what I am urging on more people should be educated enough to be agnostic and have the courage to question an action made in the name of God the almighty.

The question was to rekindle thoughts among HNs as to where we really stand in this path towards unknown waters.

"Archaic hunter-gatherers were just another species of animal. Farmers saw themselves as the apex of creation. Scientists will upgrade us into gods"

I think you misunderstood the context I am really emphasizing on, here. it's not about whether this world consists of "true" atheists or not rather it is about when can at least a majority of us become agnostic about God and supernatural powers. As @tomhoward mentions below superstition may be a byproduct after all ,but I agree with your take on the dire requirement needed to mitigate the rampage of unscientific belief being capitalized by demagogs knowingly or unknowingly. Mere education seems to be working but personally, I can't withstand its dawdling struggle against gov funded conventions. What pragmatic steps do you think we can take to ramp up the processes of awareness without being ousted by the society or of that sorts.

hey, this is my email address hubatrix@gmail.com can you please drop a mail there so that we can continue conversing there if you don't mind :) Thank you If not we can surely continue the conversation here.

oh so I should be working more on my career at the company rather than my startup, is it? But the problem is in my company on average it takes 10 years to become a manager (with just bachelor's degree) and I within next 2 years I think I can hardly be promoted from R&D Engineer 1 to R&D Engineer 2, will this increment matter or count in anyway? The point is promotion is too farfetched in my company no matter how smart I am. What do you think I should do in such cases? btw thank you for taking your time and guiding this random stranger :)

For this very reason, I had planned to work on my startup more and leverage it for getting admits from top 10 post exit.

So true, well I have a question, my plan is to work for 2 years in R&D and curate a story line telling how now that I know the technical part I would like to learn more about management part. Or should I make the story about the startup I am working on which is in the energy sector, showcasing how I grew the company from what it is to what it became? What do you think will look more appealing for the MBA colleges a kid who built a small startup(might become successful but fewer chances, also it can fail too ) or a kid who worked at a Fortune 50 company for 2 years as R&D Engineer and learned the technologies good enough? Honest opinion

I just can't see myself coding for next 20 years whilst everyone else around me making millions just with getting C-type roles. I love technology!

True I am inclined more towards entrepreneurial methodologies, in fact bootstrapping a small startup. thanks for your insight. I like the way you played the question "why MBA".

No mrcactu5, I guess I should do that

Thanks a lot for all the resources selmat !

Clarity got it, thanks hasitseth

thanks losteverything

Thanks urs2102, that was some really good suggestion, I knew I had to do these but now I got better picture of what needs to be done.

Thank you ghaff, I'll try observing my successful colleagues, and record more of myself and analyze.

Thanks a lo GavinMcG, these are really helpful. let me start and give you an update in a month or two on where I stand :)

Thanks @neves ! will look into this book

Thank you gao8a, yes I went to a nearby toastmasters club as guest and planning to join them soon.

My speculation is you're working for cognizant am I right?

thanks a lot for this comprehensive explanation !! sure will do !!

Thank you will look into it :)

thanks !! well I'll start with hadoop and quickly understand HDFS and mapreduce by doing small projects like page rank or wordcount and move on to spark soon.

Learn how to use the tool in general as part of my Big Data course.

Guess I'll do that, thanks !!

But my as its part of my academics, I need to start from scratch that is to learn HDFS and move upwards, so anything that can help me when the situation is like this ?

Yes I am thinking of page rank, but I need to first know the basics so I need to start somewhere !! and hoped for a resource

But my as its part of my academics, I need to start from scratch that is to learn HDFS and move upwards, so anything that can help me when the situation is like this ?

I am learning this as part of academics, but I belive Map reduce was introduced for handling google page rank and it seemed to handle it well, so SHOULD I SAY "USE HADOOP BUT IN A SENSIBLE WAY WHERE IT REALLY HELPS" or is it like never use it ?

hey brudgers thanks for the help, but as I commecnted bellow what are your thought about this "being from a developing country off course there are companies which do what I like but in developed countries my thought about this is you get to do what you like also get paid really well so that I can save more for future, does this sound sane ?" and more over as I am just a fresher should I worry more about my pay package?
