My Perspective: Context, Not Caricature
I have sparred with Mir on X (formerly Twitter) over the years — from calling his Musharraf commentary into question, to dismissing certain posts as “Qatari Khatt,” even while conceding when specific points did land. This isn’t blind opposition — it’s critical engagement. And I first met him not online, but as a mentor at the Pak-China Friendship Session (2015) for landing top startups — long before any of the hype. That context matters.
This nuanced view — neither uncritical praise nor unfounded attack — is what our discourse needs.
Lessons for Investors, Followers, and Citizens
🔹 Do your homework. A big following doesn’t guarantee big integrity.
🔹 Look for verifiable credentials. Where’s the audited track record?
🔹 Separate ideas from personalities. Economic insights can come from many places, but they should stand up to scrutiny.
The Bigger Picture:
Why Accountability Must Be Non-Negotiable**
Our digital era demands both access to voices and filters for truth. Influence without accountability breeds legends — not lessons.
Mir Mohammad Alikhan’s story is not just individual — it’s a mirror of a society struggling to balance aspiration with authenticity. And as writers, commentators, and citizens, our job isn’t to tear down voices — it’s to demand that voices withstand the weight of evidence.
