For all that is admirable in Buddhism, Nietzsche fundamentally opposes the movement towards the Last Man that Buddhism not only cannot oppose, but may even help bring forth. Why does the notion of a "European Buddhism" haunt Nietzsche's later writings? We will explore this question here: how a religion that is realistic, empirical, and achieves great practical success in the relief of suffering isnevertheless inevitably aimed at uprooting all action and delivering man to a state of passivity. Here we find another religion of pity, and another denial of the world - merely deprived of the sensualism and moral fanaticism of Christianity. Were such a religion to take hold in the West, Nietzsche believes, the opportunity of moment, which we face as a consequence of the death of God, would be squandered. Join me in exploring more sutras, as well Nietzsche's criticisms of Buddhism in The Gay Science, Daybreak, Beyond Good and Evil, and the Will to Power.

Tukaram Mundhe, Maharashtra's food-safety chief, has gone viral this month for shutting famous restaurants and even noticing Shah Rukh Khan over an ad . Earlier this month his inspectors inspected around a dozen dark-store belonging to Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart. He isn't alone. On 22 August, a separate regulator in Telangana raided the dark stores behind grocery apps in Hyderabad, shutting four on the spot for expired stock and pests. Everyone's cheering the crackdown. But it can't fix what it found. To deliver in ten minutes, a dark store packs a supermarket's worth of stock into a residential space, moving so fast that the work of keeping food safe keeps losing out. That's what the model produces when it runs as designed. Quick commerce in India now runs on nearly 10 million orders a day. So why is there still no rule for the space your food waits in?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

In this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart conclude their three-part series, Faith in the Dark Hours, with Jacob's all-night struggle at Peniel in Genesis 32:24–31. Alone, exhausted, and facing his greatest fear, Jacob discovered that the darkest night of his life became the place of his greatest transformation. This lesson reveals why God sometimes wrestles with His people before He blesses them, why true spiritual victory comes through surrender rather than self-reliance, and why Jacob prevailed not by overpowering God, but by refusing to let go.
