My understanding of what nature truly is has shifted from what I once thought it was—or rather, it has expanded and built upon earlier understandings and intuitions. It turns out that the answer to life, the universe, and everything is not 42; it’s Quantum Consciousness. Good ol’ Panpsychism. In reality, they are both the same thing—one uses a lot of mathematics and complex terminology to explain reality, while the other focuses on experience and inner awareness. They’re like two sides of the same coin.

A young Iranian female college student at the Science and Research Branch of Islamic Azad University in Tehran defied the draconian dress code imposed by the Iranian regime, stripping off her clothes and walking in public clad in nothing but her underwear and a bra. The young woman, reportedly named Ahou Daryaei, was allegedly taken away forcibly by authorities. According to leading Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad, the young woman was accused by authorities in Iran of suffering from psychological illness and was admitted to a mental health hospital. Alinejad quoted a fellow student of the young woman who reportedly saw the incident and stated: On Saturday, November 2, we saw the university’s security and Basij forces trying to forcibly drag a female student into the security room, under the pretext of her not wearing a proper hijab. She resisted, and in the struggle, her hoodie was pulled off, leaving her with only her undergarments underneath. Shocked, the security officers let her go, after which, in a moment of rage, she removed her pants and threw them at the officers. Update:The authorities in Iran are now claiming that a young woman, who courageously removed her clothes in protest against harassment by the morality, police at her university, suffers from psychological illness and has been admitted to a mental health hospital.

She was forced into a van run by the Gasht-e Ershad, which enforces the Iranian regime’s dress code. Then, she was taken to the “Vozara detention center.” She died in mysterious circumstances, prompting opponents of the regime, who say police often treat violators of the dress code brutally, to contend that the young girl was murdered, as TIME reported. The hospital where Amini was taken announced that she was declared brain-dead when she arrived at the hospital, while the Iranian government insisted that she suffered from a pre-existing condition. But Amini’s family countered the government, asserting that she did not suffer from a pre-existing condition. In early October 2022, various reports indicated that scores of Iranians had been killed because of the despotic theocratic Iranian regime’s crackdown on protests surging around their country. During the protests mounted after Amini’s death, the Iran Human Rights Group reported 92 people had been killed, while Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency admitted that “around 60” people had died. Amnesty International stated it had confirmed 53 deaths, including two women and at least five children.
