For those who spew hate & abuse, I recommend they read Tagore & Auden. Here is Auden’s moving verse, on the eve of World War II: “All I have is a voice To undo the folded lie, The romantic lie in the brain” … “We must love one another or die.” 7.8K views · 186 likes · 34 reposts · 15 replies Open on X →

@kaushikcbasu What a meaningful tribute. Sen's ability to connect rigorous economics with human capability made the subject feel both more precise and more humane. The best teachers don't just transfer knowledge. They widen the set of questions a student believes are worth askin 308 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Teacher’s Day thanks to Amartya Sen. His spell-binding lectures at the London School of Economics, on economics & philosophy, woven with flawless logic, caused my career switch. I am so grateful for that. https://t.co/Oeh2vTL4xj
