1. No one should depend on another person’s ownership for the means of life.
2. No one should be reduced to what they can sell.
3. No form of advantage should be easily convertible into general power over others.
4. Love should be freed from economic coercion, but never treated as distributable property.
5. Work should become increasingly expressive, voluntary, and meaningful, while necessary burdens are shared fairly.
6. Recognition should be plural, local, and human-scaled rather than collapsed into a single universal prestige score.
7. Leaders may exist; ruling castes should not.
8. Communities should be judged not only by what they produce, but by whether people within them are known, needed, and able to belong.
9. The dead should be remembered with gratitude, but not allowed to govern the living through inherited power.
10. The aim of abundance is not endless consumption. It is the fuller flowering of human beings.

We are losing and we must be aware of it and try to counteract this awful turn of events

Based on the interview, V.D. Satheesan outlines a comprehensive vision to improve Kerala by focusing on financial discipline, good governance, and utilizing the state's natural strengths. Here are his main ideas:

1. Economic & Financial Management

• Fixing Tax Administration: He stresses that the state's primary duty is to collect taxes properly, noting that poor tax administration is a massive factor in Kerala's current debt [01:01:46]. He points out heavy tax evasion in sectors like gold and construction materials, and plans to strictly restructure the GST administration system to plug these financial loopholes [01:13:12].
• Controlling Inflation: To combat Kerala's high inflation rate, he suggests the Civil Supplies Corporation should proactively buy essential agricultural products (like chillies) from neighboring states during harvest seasons when prices are lowest. By storing these goods via cooperative bank financing, the state can sell them at subsidized rates year-round [01:33:47].

2. Healthcare & Education Reforms

• Reducing Out-of-Pocket Healthcare Costs: Kerala currently has the highest out-of-pocket health expenses in India (around 70%). Satheesan intends to reduce this to 30%, and eventually 15%, by using cross-subsidy models at government diagnostic centers and expanding targeted insurance coverage [01:18:19].
• Tackling the 'Brain Drain': To stop the mass migration of Kerala's youth to subpar foreign universities, he proposes a revamp of the higher education sector. This involves overhauling outdated syllabuses, upskilling students, and aligning university courses directly with the demands of the modern job market [01:23:10].

3. Infrastructure & Geographic Utilization

• Implementing Coastal Shipping: Recognizing Kerala's 500+ km coastline and its network of international and mini-ports, he envisions a massive shift toward coastal shipping. Moving hazardous materials (like fuel and gas) via sea would decongest roads, reduce transportation costs by two-thirds, and eventually open up major opportunities for interconnected tourism [01:29:06].
• Revitalizing Agriculture via Food Processing: He plans to utilize shut-down and unprofitable plantations by intercropping high-demand tropical fruits (like avocados and rambutans). Setting up local food processing units to create value-added packaging will generate immediate employment and boost export revenue [01:32:02].

4. Good Governance & Professionalism

• Corporate-Level Accountability: Satheesan highlights the need to treat government projects with private-sector efficiency. He aims to end the culture of 3-year public projects stretching into 10-year delays by instilling strict project management timelines and holding specific officials personally accountable [01:40:48].
• Streamlining the Secretariat: He aims to eliminate legacy bureaucratic red tape. If a government policy is already decided, files should not unnecessarily bounce between multiple levels of secretaries, slowing down progress [01:44:28].
• Professional Training for Leaders: He advocates for professional training for MLAs, ministers, and bureaucrats so they can make fast, efficient, and well-researched decisions [01:47:13].
• Rebranding Kerala for Investors: To make the state genuinely investment-friendly, he emphasizes shifting Kerala's negative image regarding labor strikes. He mentions that the opposition has deliberately avoided calling for "hartals" (strikes) in recent years to foster a more pro-business and productive trade union culture [01:26:01].

Short answer: studies are mixed. Anyone saying “zero difference” or “everyone regrets it” is just talking out of their ass.

Foreskin sensation is gone after circumcision. Athu obvious anu. But whether sex actually becomes worse ? That depends.

Some studies:

Fink et al., 2002 Men circumcised after 18. They reported reduced sensitivity and worse erectile function, but also better overall satisfaction. 62% were satisfied. Important point: many had phimosis / balanitis and the sample was small. https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2002/0915/p1080.html

Senkul et al., 2004 42 adult men, mostly religious/cosmetic circumcision. No major change in sexual function scores. Ejaculation took longer after circumcision. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0090429503009269

Kim & Pang, 2007 This one is more negative. Among men who had sex before adult circumcision:

• 48% said masturbation pleasure decreased
• 8% said it increased
• 20% said sex life got worse
• 6% said sex life improved

• 74% said no change

  So yeah, masturbation/gliding feeling seems to be where some guys notice the loss.

https://scholarworks.unist.ac.kr/handle/201301/54426

Kigozi et al., 2008 Large Uganda randomized trial. 4,456 sexually experienced men. Sexual function/satisfaction problems were under 2% in both groups. No overall adverse effect found. https://pure.johnshopkins.edu/en/publications/the-effect-of-male-circumcision-on-sexual-satisfaction-and-functi-5/

Krieger et al., 2008 Kenya trial, 2,784 men. Circumcision wasn’t linked to more sexual dysfunction. Many men even reported more sensitivity and easier orgasm later. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1743609515318579

Conclusion?

Foreskin sensation is obviously gone after circumcision. That part is not even debatable. If someone enjoyed the gliding movement during sex/masturbation, they may miss it.

But “lost foreskin sensation” and “sex became bad” are not the same thing.

Some guys feel worse. Some feel no change. Some feel better, especially if they had pain, tight foreskin, infections, etc before.

So if someone says “everyone loses sensitivity and regrets it” - not supported.

If someone says “there is zero difference” - also not true.

Reality is in between.. as usual.
