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

Cosmic accidents and the potential for existence of life elsewhere
We are the echoes of a billion gambles, born not from design but from the accidents of an indifferent universe. Hydrogen scattered into stars, stars shattered into elements, and those elements fell into orbit, forming this improbable world we now call home.
In the quiet cradle of Earth, where oceans kissed molten rock and lightning pierced primordial skies, life began—fragile, unassuming, yet relentless. From microscopic origins, it climbed against the tide of entropy, creating us: beings capable of thought, wonder, and a strange yearning to understand why.
We look upward, into the staggering void, and wonder if elsewhere, on some alien shore, molecules found their rhythm. Could others, under foreign suns, have emerged from the same cosmic roulette? Would they wonder about us, the way we wonder about them?
Perhaps they’ve already asked the questions we are just learning to articulate. Or perhaps we’re the first whispers of life in an otherwise quiet cosmos. Either way, we are proof that accidents, rare and chaotic, can create something astonishing: a species capable of transforming randomness into meaning.

The Ship of Theseus
Imagine a vessel. Over time, every component – plank, mast, sail – is replaced. Eventually, not a single original piece remains. Is this still the same ship?
This thought experiment probes identity. Is identity rooted in physical matter, or something more? Does an entity persist solely because of its constituent parts, or does a deeper essence bind it? The question challenges our understanding of change, continuity, and what constitutes a singular, enduring thing across time. It forces contemplation of inherent permanence versus fluid transformation. Where does the original identity reside, if no part remains unchanged?

This is not the definition of artificial general intelligence, its another example of idiotic venture capitalists acting as though they understand a science. Pathetic.
Leaked Documents Show OpenAI Has a Very Clear Definition of ‘AGI.’ "AGI will be achieved once OpenAI has developed an AI system that can generate at least $100 billion in profits."

We are strangers now
Dear Milena, I wish the world were ending tomorrow. Then I could take the next train, arrive at your doorstep in Vienna, and say: “Come with me, Milena. We are going to love each other without scruples or fear or restraint. Because the world is ending tomorrow.”…
Ahh! Kafka, the noblest lover of all time🫠❤️

Which one is your go-to coping mechanism?
Let me start: Smile, music, nature, reading, walk, playing games and more often I become very lost in thought to the extent that i'll be labeled as nonexistent :)
And nah, men dontcry they say😉

@Sandro_Yohannes made the first image in Blender. Then @Cast_Ray_Art drew it digitally. I thought this looked really gorgeous.
First off, the blender version looks so realistic I thought it was just a picture. On the digital art one I loved the tone of the art.

Third Neuralink Chip Successfully Implanted
A third person has received a brain chip from Neuralink. The first patient is now using the implant to communicate on social media through thought alone, while the second has managed to play Counter-Strike 2.
These devices are designed to help people with spinal cord injuries, enabling them to control computers or smartphones using their minds. According to Bloomberg, all the chips are reported to be “working well,” and Neuralink plans to implant another 20–30 brain chips in 2025.
The first person in the world to receive such an implant was 29-year-old Nolan Arbo, who is completely paralyzed. The device translates brain signals into computer commands, offering groundbreaking possibilities for those with severe disabilities.

So I'm wondering, from a Earth science background, would the emergence of intelligence life be governed by the planetary evolution / life cycle of the planet? What I mean by this is is that one side of the spectrum you have planet formation (proto-planet and such) and at the end, the planet could be consumed by the sun or get into a Venus type situation or Mars. Within that spectrum, an Earth like planet would experience certain types of events. The initial formation will dictate which elements will be available for biological processes (via minerals). Meteor /meteorite bombardment can lead to the addition of water and minerals. Over time, due to plate tectonics and crust recycling, you have a chemical differentiation of elements due to density and mineral meta-stability. This is related to weathering and for long plate tectonics will run. Other events such as asteroid impacts and gamma ray bursts are also an issue.
If oxygen is vital to intelligent life, then that sets an early time limit as would the requirement of water. It is my understanding that the snowball Earth theory may explain why life exploded from the beginning of the Ediacaran and into the well known Cambrian explosion. But what if that never took place? Could intelligent life have evolved further into Earth's future? Could there be other constraints besides the sun expanding and evaporating our oceans? Where on a 0%- 100% scale of planetary life span is it more probable for intelligent life to evolve?

The lagrangian of the standard model of particles. The most successful and coherent denoscription of the building blocks of the universe so far🤯
Once we reconcile quantum mechanics and general theory of relativity, we'll land on the theory of everything. An equation probably no longer than few inches that summarizes all of our endeavour into one coherent law.

The incompatibility between GR and QM is the problem and string theory is theoretically a good theory to reconcile both of them. One of the candidate to TOE.
