I'm not that much into religion and stuff but I heard some people blabbing about microchips and AI dissonating with Bible. Here is my take:
The Bible doesn’t explicitly mention microchips (since they didn't exist at the time), but some people associate modern technology, especially things like RFID chips and AI, with biblical warnings, particularly in the Book of Revelation.
The most common argument linking microchips to the Bible comes from Revelation 13:16-17, which talks about the "mark of the beast":
Some believe that implantable microchips (for payments, identification, or tracking) could be a fulfillment of this prophecy. They argue that such technology could be used for total economic control, preventing people from buying or selling unless they accept a digital identification system.
I don’t think microchips are the “mark of the beast” or anything biblical. They’re just technology (like phones, credit cards, or the internet). What matters is how they’re used.
People once feared barcodes, social security numbers, and even vaccines, thinking they were part of some prophecy. But life moved on, and those things became normal. The same will likely happen with microchips.
If governments or corporations misuse them for control, that’s a real problem, but it’s a political and ethical issue, not a supernatural one. Instead of fearing the tech itself, we should focus on how much power we give to those in charge of it.

The real danger isn’t a chip under the skin but a mind that blindly obeys. The “mark” isn’t physical it’s the loss of autonomy, the surrender of critical thought. If we let fear dictate our response to technology, we risk enslaving ourselves long before any microchip does.

If unfulfilled, a promise, no matter how poetically articulated, means less than sporadic acts of kindness.

There is no such thing as bad people. We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things.

Apparently, only few could understand this.
Life, in its essence, is neither a riddle to be solved nor a burden to be endured, but a blend of the absurd and the tender. To be foolish is to be free, to be kind is to be human, and to be strange is to be wholly alive. It is not the grandeur of reason but the quiet, ridiculous laughter in the face of suffering that redeems the soul.
Man wastes his years chasing rules, fearing the absurd, molding himself into something lifeless. And in the end, he finds he has lived as a shadow, a mere machine that strictly follows and searches for something that makes him a prisoner, not a man.

Feeling great, ready to get stuff done. Then, ADHD kicks in. You start working, then suddenly you're researching something totally random. The important stuff? Gone from your mind. Time for a break...and maybe a video game.

Hey everyone, I've been thinking a lot lately about how much I enjoy learning and exploring new things, especially when it comes to physics. And after attending that recent developers' meetup, I felt really inspired by the sense of community and collaborative learning that was there. That got me thinking, what if we could create something similar, but focused on physics right here in Ethiopia?
So, I want to start a physics community. My vision is a place where we can all learn together, no matter our background or level of knowledge. Think of it as a space for hands on experiments, collaborative problem solving, and just generally exploring the fascinating world of physics in a supportive and encouraging environment.
I'm imagining regular or somewhat sporadic (for the time being) voice chats where we can build things, run experiments (computational physics mostly), discuss cool topics in space exploration or game physics even. Really get our hands dirty and learn by doing. And of course, a big part of it will be helping each other out, sharing resources, and just building connections with people who share a similar curiosity.
I know there are a lot of people in Ethiopia who are interested in physics, whether you're a student, a professional, or just someone who enjoys learning. I believe we can create something really special if we work together.
If this sounds interesting to you, I'd love to hear from you. Let me know in the comments what you'd like to see in a physics community. What are you curious about? What kinds of activities would you find most engaging? I'm really excited to see where this goes, and I hope you'll join me on this journey.
DM me @StoicallyAwake if you are interested to be mod.
