idk about indian politics, but american policymaking is moving away from this since 2025.
for 50+ years, everything funded by the federal government, like our schools, roads, criminal justice system, and healthcare, was designed to avoid unintentional discrimination or disparate impact. every lawmaker had to consider statistics about one racial group vs. another. a study or data showing disparities between groups ("castes") had enormous legal/political weight in lawmaking.
starting in 2025 with e.o. 14281, two landmark @TheJusticeDept actions in dec 2025 and jun 2026, and MANY supreme court rulings culminating in louisiana v. callais (2026), federal agencies are systematically excising disparate impact liability from the code of federal regulations where statutes lack explicit "effects" language, and constitutionally narrowing it where statutes codify it to avoid post-loper bright vacatur and equal protection challenges. simultaneously, they're booking the removal of disparate impact self-audits and validation studies as deregulatory cost savings.
today, at the federal level, we're directed and legally obligated to focus on the nation's people and good governance. judges have more discretion. policymakers are more free to debate fundamental political issues.

is this behind this administration's approach of "deliberative action"?
1️⃣ listen to people "on the ground" talk, unscripted, across nation
2️⃣ encourage cooperation without consensus
3️⃣ urgent coordination via task forces, adoption of "unified agenda" & "whole body of government"

Being morally clean won’t protect you from wolves. Being strategically useful will. In the real world, you aren’t judged by your heart, you’re judged by your leverage. You’re either an asset or a liability. Stop asking to be liked. Become too valuable to ignore.

i cannot express to you how bizarrely large the rewards of consistently writing opinionated + technical essays are. it is good for your own brain, it is good for your life, and it is—i am increasingly realizing—good for society at large. the best part about it is that if you take it seriously, you have virtually no competition. this is not true for almost anything else! for most other things worth doing due to their unreasonable benefits, you not only have to take it seriously, but you also have to have a natural or learned talent for it. this is not true for writing! any monkey with the capacity to speak at all has all the talent they need to do useful writing. the rewards are basically guaranteed too; i struggle to name even a single person who walked this path and didn't end up somewhere dramatically more interesting than where they started. yes, it's hard, but it's really not that hard. you just need to try once, and then try again, and then again, and then it will feel like a normal part of your day
