Is this conflict in Iran, actually nothing more than a celebration of multiculturalism and diversity?

For at least 48 years on my tenure of sharing this planet with the other temporary inhabitants, there has been trouble with Iran, there has been murder , terrorist attacks, wars and mostly poor violence , perpetrated by the supposedly peace loving and god fearing regime that just wanted to spread its version of peace and stability. All I have ever known is trouble in the Middle East In my opinion, this current “escalation”. Has been way overdue, I know this opinion is shared among the number of Iranians i personally know. Many of which had to leave Iran for fear of persecution and actual persecution. Ironically, many of them consider themselves Muslims, but of the very moderate kind. A smaller proportion are actually Christian. It is one thing to be a pacifist, but it is another to realise and accept sometimes violence is necessary to achieve a pacifism . Whatever your viewpoint, this in many ways necessary, if for nothing else to address the elephant in the room for humanity’s progress. This absolute tosh, that diversity is our greatest strength, and multi culturalism is amazing. Is pure garbage. Multi culturalism is great, when people of similar cultural values co habit with each other in a place where they accept their culture, you cannot enforce all cultures into one pot, and not expect violence, and clashes and disharmony. If you don’t like the place where you’re at you can leave, but you simply can’t take your cultural norms and perspectives with you to your new place and expect everyone adopt them. If things were so great with your culture why did you leave? Personally, I think it is wrong to attempt to replicate cultures everywhere, on the whole completely unnecessary.

Apparently there is a “Stop The war” protest today . Where were these people when the supposedly caring and tolerant Ayatollah said it was fine “mow down” 40 000 peaceful protestors?

Reflecting on a career in enterprise software development I can honestly say that probably at least as high as 90% of the projects we’ve developed , is that they initially started life as an Excel spreadsheet on some managers computer, collating and analysing data

I have been talking to people that have adopted AI I their workplace , and trying to find out just how exactly AI. Is making them more productive, it’s not an exhaustive list or conclusions but overwhelmingly AI is really good at doing largely inefficient bureaucratic regulatory and compliance tasks that for the most part shouldn’t need to exist but do because governments and its various quangos created them. Things like tax filling, tender applications , regulatory checks, summarisation of large legal and compliance documents This is where we are

Britain is in serious trouble! Apparently, in our government. This group of, not fit for manning the drive thru window at any fast food outlet, are the best option we have of attempting to fix our predicament. image
