The clock is ticking down on this year, and as the last moments slip away, let’s look back and say it plainly: 2024, you were one hell of a ride. A rollercoaster, a tempest, a journey into the unknown – whatever image comes to mind, it’s clear this year tested us, pushed us, and in the process, made us stronger. We faced challenges we never anticipated, navigated complexities that seemed insurmountable, and maybe even stumbled along the way.
But here’s the empowering truth: we’re here. We made it. We learned. We grew. We discovered depths of resilience we didn’t know we possessed. The trials, the setbacks, the moments of doubt – they forged a strength and wisdom that we’ll carry into the future. We’ve proven that we can adapt, overcome, and rise to meet any storm.
So, as we stand at the threshold of a new year, let's embrace the lessons learned, the victories achieved, and the scars that tell the story of our battles. Let’s carry forward the resilience we cultivated, the passion we reignited, and the wisdom we gained. Let’s meet the future with courage, determination, and an unshakeable belief in our own potential. Because, after the ride we’ve just been on, we can handle anything.
Happy New Year! Let's make the next chapter even more extraordinary⚡️⚡️

AlphaGo The Movie | Deepmind
Just rewatched it after a long time yesterday and I recommend you all to watch it. It's one of the achivments we saw in our generation.
AlphaGo combines deep learning and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to master Go. It uses a policy network to predict the next move and a value network to estimate the probability of winning from a board state. MCTS improves the decision-making by exploring move sequences guided by these networks. It's trained on human games and refined in self-play with reinforcement learning.

You know what's infuriating? When you're trying to explain something perfectly clearly, like you've broken it down into the simplest terms possible, and people still look at you like you're speaking Klingon. It's like, are we living on the same planet? Did you somehow miss the memo about basic logic? I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a wall, except the wall would probably understand me better.
And then, there's the internet echo chamber. It's like, everyone's just shouting the same opinions into the void, and if you happen to have a different perspective, you're immediately labeled as "wrong" or "problematic." Can we not have a nuanced conversation anymore? Can we not agree to disagree, or is everyone just required to be a carbon copy of someone else? It's exhausting.
And the small talk, oh my god, the small talk! "How's your day?" "Fine, and you?" "Good, thanks!" It's the same robotic exchange every single time, and it feels like a massive waste of brainpower. Can we just skip ahead to the interesting stuff? Like, what's your favorite conspiracy theory, or what's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? Let’s talk about something real, something fun.
And don't even get me started on the pressure to always be "on." It's like, I'm not a performing monkey, I'm allowed to have an off day, you know? I'm allowed to be grumpy, tired, or just plain uninterested. Can we just normalize not having to put on a happy face all the time? It's exhausting. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to eat a whole pizza... by myself... in a dark room... and with no small talk. Yeah, that sounds perfect.

Life changes, adapting to its surroundings. It’s not a plan, but a response. Imagine moths, some light, some dark. Light moths thrive on light bark, dark moths on dark bark. It’s about fitting in, not being "best." Things change slowly over time. Populations, not individuals, evolve. New versions of genes spread in a population if they help organisms survive and reproduce. Imagine a river, carving a path, not by design, but by the flow. That is evolution. It's real, it's ongoing, and it's how we got here.

There are 200 billion trillion (200 sextillion) stars in the universe not to mention other hot stuffs like black holes, cosmic rays and supernovas, but guess what? The average temperature of the universe is 3K (-270.15 degree celsius) which is wayyy colder than inside of a refrigerator (which is 0 degree celsius). Imagine how much big the universe is. Its fuckin cold out there!

Why do people mix up having a degree with the act of learning itself?
Seriously, they’re not the same thing! You can have a degree and be a genius or have a degree and still not know the difference between a black hole and a pothole.(like me)On the flip side, you can skip the degree entirely and still be out there inventing rockets or solving mysteries of the universe.
The issue is, especially here in Ethiopia, we’ve twisted the concept of learning into this degree thing . People now act like learning isn’t important at all. It’s like they skipped to the conclusion: “Degrees don’t matter, so why even bother?” Instead of recognizing that the *degree itself* is just a piece of paper, they’ve started thinking education as a whole is pointless.
And let’s be honest this "let’s skip school" mentality is dangerous. Sure, making money quickly sounds great in theory, but where does that leave us as a society? Who’s going to build the future? Who’s going to lead the country, develop life-saving technology, or explore space? Not everyone dreams of being rich overnight some of us dream of making a meaningful impact.(lemme cope here🥸 ) ....(alrr, and maybe also proving Freud wrong about “the goal of all life is death 💀 ”)jk here cos i like the quote
Education gives us more than just degrees. Even if what you learn in school seems unrelated or boring, it gives you essential skills like critical thinking, creativity, and literacy—the tools to question the world and grow. The problem isn’t education itself, but how we approach it: focusing on grades instead of actual understanding, or thinking degrees automatically equal knowledge.
We need to stop sending the wrong message. Saying “degrees don’t matter as much as we thought” is fine, but that’s *not* the same as saying, “Learning doesn’t matter at all.” Let’s remind ourselves—and future generations—that while degrees may or may not define us, the act of learning is what will always shape us.

First off, thanks for differentiating between having a degree and actually pursuing something to learn and grow. My real problem with education (and I’ve said this a thousand times, and I’ll say it again) is that it takes the fun out of failing.
How on earth are we supposed to evolve as a society when we’re stuck in a system that not only discourages failure but actively punishes it for not following the same old ways?
The main reason this whole 'skip school and get rich' mindset is trending these days is because society measures success by money (which is honestly sad). Let’s be real: education has become the last thing people think of when it comes to making money.
The solution? Change the whole 'education for money' narrative. Start teaching kids for the sake of knowledge, creativity, and a better future. Give them a mission—like making humans an interstellar species. Inspire them! Tell them if they become doctors, they could cure diseases like cancer, instead of just promising them a paycheck.
Because let’s face it, the numbers don’t lie. (If you don’t believe me, go check the net worth of some TikTokers here in Ethiopia 😁… for what?) Let’s stop fooling this generation into thinking school is all about making tons of money. (Not saying you can’t, but that shouldn’t be the point.)
My point is: money should be a by-product of knowledge. If not, we’re in big trouble as a society. We’ll end up with geniuses who are broke and (sorry to say this) dumb people with a camera on TikTok, spending their days insulting others while sitting in houses full of money. To me, that’s an apocalypse.

That perfectly reflects my perspective on education. I couldn't have articulated it better myself. Thank you for your insightful explanations, @selfmadecoder and @studyvibewithnova
