After the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the religious leader became the Supreme Leader of Iran. Currently, the Supreme Leader of Iran is Ali Hosseini Khamenei. His decisions are final, and the country's president does not wield as much power as he does.
The United States describes him in strong terms: "...he has money, he has bullets, he has intelligence, the keys to the country's prisons are in his hand, the media is under his control! The legislature, judiciary, and police are under him! He has built his own economic empire! Even the commander of the country's army is him! Iranians are suppressed! The man dislikes the Western world! He views America as a monster! He supports terrorists! He arms Hezbollah and Hamas! He enriches nuclear material! He is a threat to the world!"

The U.S. began imposing sanctions on Iran 42 years ago, after the embassy hostage crisis. The sanctions imposed on Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, and Libya combined do not equal the severity of those placed on Iran. The U.S. has prohibited any commercial relations with Iran, prevented anyone from buying its oil, blocked any transactions with Iranian banks and financial institutions, and barred Iranian officials from entering the United States. Even Iranian carpets are not allowed into the U.S.!
The List
If I gave you a list of everything you needed to do, to have everything you ever wanted.
Would you do it?
If the list was 1,000 tasks long.
How long do you really think it would take you?
Do you think you’d ever wake up demotivated?
If I made it so every task could be completed by you in a day,
Would you do one a day?
Would you do more?
Would you ever miss a day?
When you look at people and ever wonder why they never give up,
Why they always have the energy to work,
Why they’re so productive and successful.
It’s because they have a list.
A list they can wake up and look at.
A list of tasks they KNOW they can do, and if they do it, they get what they want in life.
When it’s on a list,
Even if it’s 1,000 tasks long,
Success is not only inevitable, it’s easy.

Choice
“You are not your body and hair-style, but your capacity for choosing well. If your choices are
beautiful, so too will you be.”
—EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 3.1.39b–40
at’s that line in the movie Fight Club: “You are not your job, you’re not how much money you have in
the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet.” Obviously our friend
Epictetus never saw that movie or read the book—but apparently the consumerism of the 1990s existed in
ancient Rome too.
It’s easy to confuse the image we present to the world for who we actually are, especially when media
messaging deliberately blurs that distinction.
You might look beautiful today, but if that was the result of vain obsession in the mirror this morning,
the Stoics would ask, are you actually beautiful? A body built from hard work is admirable. A body built
to impress gym rats is not.
That’s what the Stoics urge us to consider. Not how things appear, but what effort, activity, and
choices they are a result of.

🔍 What Does Geometry Really Mean in Real Life?
A Simple Look at Einstein’s First Chapter on Relativity
Most of us remember learning geometry in school—points, lines, shapes, and the idea that “the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.” We accepted these ideas as absolute truths.
But Einstein asks:
Are these rules really true in the real world? Or are they just ideas that work well on paper?

📐 Where Geometry Comes From
Geometry is built from basic concepts like points and lines. It uses a few starting assumptions (called axioms) and builds logical rules from there. If the axioms are true, then everything else is supposed to follow.
But here's Einstein's key point:
Just because something makes sense logically doesn't mean it's true in nature.
---
🧭 What Happens in the Real World?
In geometry class, a straight line is perfectly straight.
In real life? Not so much.
When we try to measure things using real tools—like rulers and clocks—our results aren’t always perfect. Physical objects can bend, expand, or change based on conditions like temperature or gravity.
So Einstein says:
Geometry isn’t about shapes on a page—it becomes physics when we try to apply it to the real world.

Once upon a time, before ever this world was made,
there was neither earth nor sea, nor air, nor light,
but only a great yawning gulf, full of twilight,
where these things should be.

I just got home
I need to go to gym now
If I got time I will send a voice about general theory of relativity and big bang theory.
Stay tuned!!

IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT
“Today I escaped from the crush of circumstances, or better put, I threw them out, for the crush
wasn’t from outside me but in my own assumptions.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 9.13
n tough days we might say, “My work is overwhelming,” or “My boss is really frustrating.” If only
we could understand that this is impossible. Someone can’t frustrate you, work can’t overwhelm
you—these are external objects, and they have no access to your mind. Those emotions you feel, as real
as they are, come from the inside, not the outside.
The Stoics use the word hypolêpsis, which means “taking up”—of perceptions, thoughts, and
judgments by our mind. What we assume, what we willingly generate in our mind, that’s on us. We can’t
blame other people for making us feel stressed or frustrated any more than we can blame them for our
jealousy. The cause is within us. They’re just the target.

Existentialism (ኅልውነት)
Most religions and philosophies believe that human life has meaning or a purpose. Because of this belief, people often seek to fulfill or discover that purpose. However, in contrast, existentialist philosophy argues that human life has no predetermined meaning or purpose prior to existence. In other words, before a person exists (before becoming a living being), there is no written meaning or purpose for their life.
Therefore, the main philosophical concern becomes the question:
“How should each individual give meaning and purpose to their own life?”
According to Søren Kierkegaard, who is often considered the father of existentialism,
“Every individual has the responsibility to give meaning to their own life and to live it sincerely and fully aware.”

According to Søren Kierkegaard, who is often considered the father of existentialism,
“Every individual has the responsibility to give meaning to their own life and to live it sincerely and fully aware.”
Existentialism explores human experiences such as hopelessness, existential anxiety, isolation, despair, and meaninglessness—experiences that often confront humanity. But instead of fleeing from these, existentialism focuses on how to confront and overcome them.
It teaches that life has no inherent meaning and that its purpose is unknowable—until each individual personally assigns a meaning or purpose to it.
In other words:
Existence comes before essence — not the other way around.
This is the key idea in existentialist philosophy. It means:
A person is not born with a predetermined identity or purpose.
Only after existing—after becoming alive—do they create their own identity through their life choices.
Each individual, using conscious awareness, writes their own value and meaning in life.

Forwarded from Orion Space (Naty)
Big congrats to Emebet Mehabaw 🔥
She just got selected as a candidate to be the first Ethiopian astronaut — how amazing is that!
We first saw her during the Orion Space opening session, and even then, you could feel her passion and energy for space. She was full of ambition, and now look — she’s been chosen for the Titans Genesis Spaceplane mission with Titan Space Industries, set for 2029!
This is such a proud moment for all of us 🇪🇹 Can’t wait for her to share her journey with the group — it’s gonna inspire so many people
