-## How I finally managed to partially understand game development?
+### How I finally managed to understand game development?
 
 I have always liked games (who hasn't, right?). I also always wanted to make games. I tried creating games during my college years. I even found some tools like Microsoft XNA Framework. But still I din't know what to do with that framework. No disrespect but If a dog finds a coconut then what can it do? I did not know how to use that tool and I did not know how to create games without that tool too. Both were necessary and I had neither, so it was just a failure. Fast-forward. Now, we have the "NEWEST & HOTTEST TOOL" i.e. LLM and they have the entire internet in them. But I still did not know how to create games. So, I started to think from the perspective of scarcity, i.e. without that LLM tool, I found out that there are few basic concepts in a game.

 - Game Loop

 - Physics and Collision Detection

 Now that we have got the foundation of knowledge i.e. words, I had to do was to give the words to my offline internet (LLM) and got the relevant information immediately.

 And then, I had to use a Game Library like XNA, I used raylib, as I am now in the Linux machine. I generated code blocks for the words and connected them together, I am a software dev so it is easier for me. And, it gave me comfort like no other game.

+**Capitalism: The Dinosaur of Economic Systems?**
+
+For decades, capitalism has dominated the global economy, much like dinosaurs once ruled the Earth. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s hungry. But as we’ve seen throughout history, even the mightiest can fall. Could capitalism, like the dinosaurs, be headed for extinction? Let’s explore the parallels.
+
+**Dinosaurs and Capitalism: A Striking Comparison**
+
+Dinosaurs were magnificent creatures—massive, competitive, and seemingly invincible. But their success came at a cost. They consumed vast resources, dominated ecosystems, and left little room for other species to thrive. When disaster struck, their inability to adapt led to their extinction.
+
+Capitalism operates in a similar way. It’s competitive, resource-intensive, and thrives on growth at all costs. But like the dinosaurs, it struggles to address the needs of smaller, less fortunate players in the system. Inequality, exploitation, and environmental destruction are byproducts of a system that prioritizes profit over people.
+
+**The Meteorite of Modern Times**
+
+What could be the “meteorite” that brings capitalism down? There are several contenders:
+- Climate Change: A system that relies on endless consumption is unsustainable in a world with finite resources. The environmental crisis is a direct consequence of capitalism’s unchecked hunger.
+- Inequality: Wealth concentration at the top is leaving billions behind. As this gap widens, social unrest grows, threatening the stability of capitalist economies.
+- Technological Disruption: Automation and AI are displacing workers, while profits flow to corporations. Without addressing this imbalance, capitalism risks alienating the very people it depends on.
+
+**Socialism: The Cockroach of Economic Systems?**
+
+While dinosaurs perished, cockroaches survived. Why? Because they were adaptable, resourceful, and didn’t rely on domination. In this analogy, socialism represents a leaner, more equitable approach to economic organization—one that prioritizes cooperation over competition.
+
+Here’s why socialism could be the more sustainable option:
+- Equity Over Exploitation: Socialism ensures that resources are distributed fairly, meeting basic needs like healthcare, education, and housing for all.
+- Collaboration Over Competition: Instead of a cutthroat race for profits, socialism emphasizes working together for the collective good.
+- Sustainability Over Growth: Unlike capitalism’s obsession with endless growth, socialism can align economic goals with environmental preservation.
+
+**Is the Fall of Capitalism Inevitable?**
+
+The fall of the dinosaurs wasn’t inevitable—it was the result of external pressures combined with their inability to adapt. Similarly, capitalism’s survival depends on its willingness to evolve. But if it continues to prioritize short-term profits over long-term sustainability, its extinction may indeed be unavoidable.
+
+The question is: Will we act before the meteorite strikes?
+
+**Conclusion: Time to Rethink Our Systems**
+Capitalism has achieved incredible things, from technological breakthroughs to improved standards of living for many. But it’s also left billions behind and pushed our planet to its limits. It’s time to ask ourselves: Can we afford to let capitalism continue unchecked, or is it time to embrace a system that works for everyone?

+**Are taxes only for salaried employees?**
+I recently saw a post in X about some food truck guy who makes 6L per month with zero taxes. That means, he is making about 72L per year. The important part is he doesn’t pay taxes on anything.
+
+The Government of India asks the salaried employees to pay taxes when their salary cross 5LPA. But the government doesn’t tax the farmer even if they make 5000 Crores a year. The same holds for unregulated and unregistered business owners too.
+
+House owners too don’t reveal the income fully. Small and Medium businesses don’t either. The house-helps and the cooks who work independently don’t pay tax too.
+
+Even the Freelancers include the income to their mom and dad instead of their names for the bills.
+
+It seems that the salaried ones are the only ones to be cursed to be taxed.
