This week, On-Record Podcast speaks to Karthik Bappanad, the head of center for excellence in cyber security department of Karnataka Government in order to understand the potential of the Pegasus spyware and its implications on individual privacy and democracy in the country. Listen to the podcast here.

Meanwhile, Anisha Saigal reviews The White Lotus, the HBO Original Miniseries. "The White Lotus is easily one of the most promising entertainment distractions to have landed on our platters. For what it’s worth, this too points towards a deeply disturbing can of worms," she writes.

On the other hand, Vijayendra Mohanty points out the number one mistake made by those who think God created the universe. "The problem of false dichotomy. Assuming there are only two options when there is no reason to discard an infinitely large number of options," he writes. Watch his video here.

Is The White Lotus the best drama of '21? by Anisha Saigal

Is The White Lotus the best drama of '21?

The White Lotus is a fantasy away from all the bullshit in the world. For real, the finale dropped at a point in time when historically, the world we live in is facing hard crises—Taliban taking over Kabul, Earthquake in Haiti, blackout in Lebanon, Delta on a fucking trip of its own, global warming…you get the gist. Across nations, the terrible stories have marred our respective lives, and the idea of a vacation at a time like this seems criminal. The only way to subvert this crime (of taking the time off) is to watch the world commit more sins. Checking in at The White Lotus counts as one way.
