“What Do We Do With Surplus Temple Funds?”- The Fig Leaf of Sovereign Guarantee: (A Supplementary post)
Below is supplemental sequel to my earlier subject blogpost (https://mksudarshans.blog/2026/05/30/the-fig-leaf-of-sovereign-guarantee-tamil-nadus-temple-fund-dilemma-and-a-path-to-justice/). It addresses the critical question: What do we do with surplus temple funds? Temple funds must be invested, not hoarded. But the government’s solution—coercing investment in state NBFCs—is wrong.

– Part 2 – How One Blends into the Other At first sight, Jevons’ Paradox and Moore’s Law seem to march in tandem while the law of diminishing marginal utility trails behind, like a conservative chorus whispering, “Beware of excess.” But the deeper one looks, the more the three form a subtle choreography. Start withContinue reading “How the “Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility”, “Moore’s Law” and “Jevon’s Paradox” teach us all the true Meaning of Life (Part 2 of 3)”

– Part 1- Of Three Laws: Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility (LDMU), Jevons’ Paradox, and Moore’s Law I first encountered the law of diminishing marginal utility (LDMU) as an undergraduate student of economics in university, wrestling with the neat diagrams of descending marginal‑utility curves and the intuitive truth that each extra unit of a goodContinue reading “How the “Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility”, “Moore’s Law” and “Jevon’s Paradox” teach us all the true Meaning of Life (Part 1 of 3)”
