In this powerful and insightful podcast, Yudhanjaya Wijeratne - an award-winning author, OSINT journalist, data scientist, activist, game designer, and AI programmer - takes a deep dive into discussing and dissecting many intriguing topics. We look at his myriad writing ventures and dig into the nucleus of other labours of love spread across his inspirational life journey; what has inspired his writing and what does the future hold for this creative savant?
The discussion explores the failure of traditional economic models worldwide, how integral it is for mankind to grasp the urgency of how we must measure the effectiveness and also collectively figure how to reshape our collapsed social systems.
Yudha shares how Data-Driven Insights, Machine Learning, and AI can play a pivotal role in reshaping broken social systems. From highlighting how GDP is an outdated and insufficient metric, especially when considering the pressing challenges of our time, such as climate change, human and animal well-being, and global human interaction, to delving into both local and global current economic struggles, where compromised supply chains have left citizens deprived of basic necessities like food, education, housing, and healthcare.
He also emphasizes the importance of finding self-sufficiency through local production and manufacturing, advocating for a radical system change to improve not just Sri Lanka but nations across the globe.
This is a pod interview to surely rock the ages. Intriguing, insightful, quirky, intellectual, and impactful, with bludgeoning truth to provoke thought and pry open minds.
Enjoy!

      Not even close, but to explain the difference between holiday making tourists running a side business to meet daily needs vs. hardcore capitalists, sponsored by the crown of their land, sailing to new horizons to make trade at whatever cost necessary would be a waste of time.

    Try to do this as a Sri Lankan in Ukrain and Russia and youโ€™ll learn how pathetic your point of view is. This is as same as justifying colonisation with the argument that it brought 0.01% benefits compared to destruction. These islanders have been brainwashed for generations. ๐Ÿ˜ข

    Props to you Suresh for coming up with this format that gives Sri Lankans an intelligent and meaningful discussion within the podcast space. The production values and audio are outstanding and on par with the best we get to listen to from the world over. You are articulate and put a lot of thought into your questioning which is refreshing from a Sri Lankan host given our folksโ€™ proclivity to fish for answers and voice-cut worthy responses. Massive respect and props to you Machan and been a fan since the Hollow Dreams days! More power to you and all the very best!!!

    Two Twisters BnS : Was everywhere, Buses, stalls, shops, homes so basically it was a BNS Era 1999 - 2005 (if I remember correctly) Suresh: Nearly thrown out of the house listening to this guy. My dad had a couple of Pioneer speakers (Sony Hifi system) so I was curious how surround sound might work in my small bedroom. I slipped one speaker under the bed and the other 3 were placed in the corners the sound was turned up high lights were dimmed playing "Andura" in full swing. My grandma was reciting Pirith on the other side. In seconds the door was kicked open and there was Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa. Mom - Monawada bn me ahana ewa? Me - ""Andura"" ammi Mom - Raata ahana sindu dawalta ahanne nathuwa gihin wadak karagannawa. And dad took away the speakers the next day cos I played them continually. Ended up with cracked window panes, no speakers, Rock music ban for 2 months. ๐Ÿ˜‡ Might be an awkward comment but what the hell. Cheers and godspeed to you two.
