Akhrot Theory: If a shopkeeper's earning is 30000 and his expenses are 80000, he should spend his time going behind criminals who stole 1000 from his shop.

The biggest tragedy of this entire circus is that it's a fight between wrong and wrong. Only after we waste tremendous amount of political capital to reach a conclusion will we realize it was all for nothing. Then, the national spirit will be broken like never before.

Imran has made me extremely sad, not because of the circus that has been going around since he came into power, but because our intelligentsia that has decades of experience in empirical research from foreign universities has regressed into binary thinking and melodrama. I used to believe poor conditions and lack of opportunities in Pakistan had kept us behind over the years, but now I'm not so sure.

Khan has made me extremely sad. I used to believe our educated class would take Pakistan out of darkness, but I've seen PhDs with decades of empirical research throw their experience into the bin and subscribe to herd mentality. Rent-seeking is our national sport, and a new industry has emerged where foreign nationals earn Youtube ad revenue by instigating Pakistanis against their institutions, right after dropping their kids safely at a community school in US. In the words of Tarek Fatah, how does one country produce so many rectums?
