Recently, while reading about the history of religions, I read that several founders of world religions, like, Christ, Zoroaster, Confucius, Buddha were born and lived in 1st millennium BC.
In this post, I review an interesting interview about the decision-making process by an ex-spy and the National Security Advisor of India and connect it with a simplistic optimization procedure used in fundamentally and frequently in economics .
The founding father, perhaps the grand-father of physics (theoretical physics per se), whose idea changed our world and post which our perception about the world changed forever was proposed by an ancient Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Democritus in 4 century BC.
