Over four days of complete internet and communication blackout in Iran. This is my first post since then. I’ve endured much under the rule of the Mullahs, but cutting off internet access during wartime—when nearly 10 million Iranians in the diaspora can’t even reach their loved ones—is a new level of cruelty. It’s nothing short of evil.

Totally agree — figures like Al-Julani aren’t anyone’s idea of progress or civilization.
But Iran’s case is fundamentally different.
The opposition isn’t made up of jihadist warlords. It’s largely secular, educated, and deeply rooted in modern civil values.
The diaspora includes human rights advocates, constitutional monarchists, liberal reformists, exiled intellectuals, and even former regime insiders who’ve broken away.
It’s not a perfect bloc, but it’s remarkably civilized by any global standard—and worlds apart from the chaos that followed regime change in Syria or Libya.
Of course, no change is without risk—but clinging to a brutal theocracy because the alternative isn’t perfectly mapped out is just another form of paralysis.
The only real parallel with Syria is the shared fact that a Shia ruling class backed by Iran must go.
Beyond that, the alternatives are culturally and historically different.
Khomeini ended 2,500 years of monarchy in Iran nearly 50 years ago—but that legacy still resonates.
There’s a real chance that the Iranian crown prince could return in some form of leadership.
Just thoughts, of course—it’s all uncertain. But the fall of this regime could reset the entire region.
Yes, I believe so.
Even Bibi recently said “we’re clearing the way for the Iranian people to rise and take down the Mullahs.”
In my opinion, eliminating the Mullah regime and dismantling the Shia militant network they fund is the only path to lasting peace in the Middle East.
It started with Assad and Nasrallah—now it’s Tehran’s turn.
Watching Israel strike down the symbols of a corrupt regime feels like justice.
But watching your homeland burn under the same sky feels like mourning.
I carry both.
You got it right, it’s a vintage china bought from an antique shop in Tehran. Perhaps you are correct about the European origin. I’ll check the back of the plate and will let you know.
safe and sound appreciate your concern 🫂

What messes me up the most about the Israel-Gaza war is the brutality towards kids—on both sides. The horror those families went through in the kibbutz, and now the footage of starving children in Gaza... it’s too much. Honestly, it’s wrecking my head.
I really love what you said about discovering long-term interests through teachers and thoughtful people—it’s such a subtle but powerful form of guidance. It reminds me how much of learning is about presence and connection, not just information.
And yeah, I get what you mean about writing sometimes feeling rigid. Even digital text, while faster and more adaptable, can still feel a bit lifeless compared to the natural rhythm of speech. Talking flows, reacts, breathes—it carries tone, emotion, spontaneity. Writing (even online) often struggles to keep up with that.

I get where you’re coming from—coders are definitely shaping the future in powerful ways. But I’d gently invite you to look a little deeper into the quiet impact of great teachers.
A good teacher doesn’t just deliver information—they plant the seeds of curiosity, compassion, and critical thinking. Many dedicate their lives selflessly, often in remote areas, teaching children of nomadic families or underserved communities with no access to comfort, infrastructure, or even basic resources. No spotlight, no big salaries—just heart.
Think of Rajesh Kumar Sharma, who’s been teaching under a metro bridge in Delhi for over a decade. Or Ranjitsinh Disale, who transformed a rural school in India with innovative tech and donated half his Global Teacher Prize to fellow educators. Or Maggie MacDonnell, who worked in the Arctic Circle empowering Inuit youth in some of the harshest living conditions imaginable.
Coders may build the tools of tomorrow, but teachers build the people who will use them wisely.
You might enjoy reading about these unsung heroes. They’re out there, and they’re incredible.
