Old nihilistic prediction of future from 1960s Iran : The dark year of 2000

Listening to the song, feeling like living it. And sadly it's far worse than it predicted.

Year 2000

The year of the fall, the year of the escape
The year of running away and waiting
The blooming season of metal
The black year of two thousand

The year of the fall of love
to infinity below zero
The ultimate ascension of the mind
The thought of interpretation of gravity

In the mind of cold cars
The meaning of love and need
on the memory stick
It means an incurable pain

The year reached a dead end
clawing at the wall
Lost in spirituality
Give in to instinct

A tribe means a person
Consanguinity has no meaning
Solidarity is a dream
There is no interpretation of tomorrow

The year of the fall, the year of the escape
The year of running away and waiting
Bitter autumn without spring
The black year of two thousand

The year when there is no blood in your veins
The metal heart is in the chest
When the image of time
It is a broken mirror

A tribe means a person
Consanguinity has no meaning
Solidarity is a dream
There is no interpretation of tomorrow

On that day that comes
No one cares about anyone
Everyone has their own thoughts
No one cares about tomorrow

All ignoring each other
Even to each other's death
If anyone wants help
Who knows what he says?

In dictionary books
White leaves always
Neither enmity nor friendship
Nothing is written

This is inevitable for us
Saudi course until the fall
Always the story of sound
End with the words of silence

When the mirror of love
Be black under the dust
It is time for disaster
The year two thousand is coming

سال سقوط سال فرار
سال گریز و انتظار
فصل شکفتن فلز
سال سیاه دو هزار

سال سقوط عاطفه
تا بینهایت زیر صفر
نهایت معراج ذهن
اندیشه ی تفسیر ثقل

تو ذهن ماشین های سرد
معنای عشق و احتیاج
روی نوار حافظه
یعنی یه درد بی علاج

سال به بن بست رسیدن
پنجه به دیوار کشیدن
از معنویت گم شدن
تن به غریزه بخشیدن

قبیله یعنی یه نفر
همخونی معنا نداره
همبستگی خوابیه که
تعبیر فردا نداره

سال سقوط سال فرار
سال گریز و انتظار
پاییز تلخ و بی بهار
سال سیاه دو هزار

سالی که خون تو رگها نیست
قلب فلزی تو سینه ست
وقتی که تصویر زمان
شکستگی آینه ست

قبیله یعنی یه نفر
همخونی معنا نداره
همبستگی خوابیه که
تعبیر فردا نداره

تو اون روزایی که میاد
کسی به فکر کسی نیست
هرکی به فکر خودشه
به فکر فردا کسی نیست

همه به هم بی اعتنا
حتی به مرگ همدیگه
کسی اگه کمک بخواد
کی می دونه اون چی می گه ؟

توی کتابای لغت
سفید برگا همیشه
نه دشمنی نه دوستی
هیچی نوشته نمیشه

این ناگزیره واسه ما
سیر سعودی تا سقوط
همیشه قصه ی صدا
تموم با حرف سکوت

وقتی که آیینه ی عشق
سیاه بشه زیر غبار
وقت طلوع فاجعه ست
میرسه سال دو هزار

Can anyone from the #Persian or #Iranian community confirm this? These pictures are again being shared everywhere by the usual suspects. The only sources are www.iranintl.com and Volant Media UK Limited officially owned by #Saudis. Even Wikipedia reports of “unethical connection with the Israeli government” - perhaps one should pause for a moment before sharing war propaganda. #iran #israel #war #propaganda

The resistance news network is blocked globally. Their back up channel is still alive and accessible.

I tried with multiple VPN connections and it seems to be a global ban on server level and not just a French thing as I thought at first.

Same thing happened with the #Persian and #English channels of #Hezbollah of #Lebanon who were banned last year.

Wonder how long will it take before that is also banned!

#Persian #Leopard. The biggest subspecies of Leopard in the world that can be found in Southern #Russia to Northern #Iran and #Afghanistan. As well as #Armenia and #Turkmenistan.

They used to occupy the whole of Turkey, as well as Middle Eastern Nations, like the whole of Syria and Irak.

Today he is in the situation of #Endangered due to poaching, habitat and prey loss, as well as animal trafficing.

This large #feline hunts boars, deers, brids and other small animals and competes with wolves, lynxes and bears. They used to compete with the extinct Caspian Tiger and the Asiatic Lion for prey in their former distribution range.

Today, this Leopard is on a slow recovery. But only time will tell about his fate.

"I am pleased to announce that Maral is here. The 7 billion parameters bilingual model which can respond to Persian and English prompts, and can produce GPT-3.5 level of answers based on the dataset we fed to it!"

"I personally never thought a 7 billion parameters model can understand multiple languages this well. So I put more information on the next section of the article on why Mistral became my number one choice as the base model!"

"However, the biggest problem was still there and it was the dataset. Finding a good enough dataset is always a bottleneck. But we've been lucky enough that one of Iranian developers, has translated Alpaca Dataset to our beloved Persian language."

They trained it with two techniques, Quantized Low Rand Adoption (QLoRa) and Parameter Efficient Fine Tuning (PEFT). The blog post does not elaborate on how these techniques work.

The tokenizer is not optimized for Persian letters, so in the future they expect to be able to make a better language model for Persian.

Maral is here, 7 billion parameters bilingual model with support of Persian!

Countdown to Norooz/Nowrooz, the Persian new year and the start of spring!

Iranian mathematician, astrologist and poet, Omar #Khayyam, calculated the exact rotation of the earth around the sun in early 12rh century.

His calculations led to the creation of the Jalali calendar, name after the Jalaloddin the king of the time who was very interested in science, astronomy and poetry. His calculations found that a full year is 365.2424 days and not just 365 days as previously believed.
The calculation ledld to creation of #Persian (Jalali) calendar that consist of 6 months of 31 days, followed by 5 months of 30 days and the last month can be 29 or 30 days depending on the moment of sal-tahvil being on the morning or afternoon (most people use the #Jalali #calendar without knowing it when they read their #horoscopes every day).

His work fixed the almost 4000 year old solar calendar who lacked leap years and was causing problem for those following it (the parsi community in India still using the old calendar and celebrate #Norooz a day wrong every year leading to their Norooz celebration being held in summer of fall as years go by).

Khayyam's calculation was about 4 seconds off that was later corrected in 16th century to adjust the sal-tahvil or the break of the new year that is based on the exact time of city of Shiraz rotating an exact year around the sun.

As a tradition, Iranians all over the world, as well as Afghans, Turkmenistan, tajiks, Kurds and others who celebrate Norooz follow the same exact date and time no matter where in the world they love.
Here is the countdown to the Norooz of 2023

PS. There are many who doubt that Khayyam was the source of the calculation of Jalali calendar and there has been many heated debates about the subject.

Sadly, young ages have passed

Those new spring days turned to winter

Youth that was like a singing bird

Sadly, I don’t know when it came or even passed

Every year, on December 21st, Iranians around the world gather together to celebrate one of the traditions of their forefathers: #Yalda Night festival in #Iran.

Since ancient times, they have passed the longest and darkest night of the year, the last night of fall, the winter solstice, in the warm company of friends and family.

The night is filled with laughter, chatter, color, poetry, story-telling, and food.

This warm welcome to winter is also celebrated in the many countries in the region such as Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia.

This is the night when Iranians used to share the last remaining fruit from summer. And this is the night now Iranians let go and stuff themselves to their heart’s content!

One of the essential items of Yalda table is watermelon. The reason is that, from the good old days, Iranians believed that beginning winter by eating summer fruits will save one from falling ill during the cold season.

Also, pomegranates, which symbolize fertility, rebirth, and the cycle of life in Persian culture, also bless Yalda table with their red color.

Iranians serve them with dried mint and salt, or use them in cakes, desserts, and special Yalda dishes.

Nuts and dried fruit also add color and taste to Chelleh night table.

A nice dinner that traditionally includes pomegranates and walnuts is also a part of Yalda gatherings. So, mostly served at this night are Aush-e Anar(pomegranates soup), Fesenjoon, Anar polo(pomegranates rice), or Nardoon.

Today, a Yalda gathering is not complete to a modern Persian family without all the colorful food on the Yalda table (or Korsi).

Korsi, is a short table, with char coil heat put under it and covered with heavy cover, or rug, where family members sit on the floor, with their feet and part of their bodies under the warm Korsi, while munching on roasted nuts, water melon, dried fruits, pomegranates and finally some delicious food, mainly Fesenjun (thick pomegranates and walnut stew with duck or chicken) and plenty of rice.

Amazing music : Khosha Howraman by Kamkars خوشه هورامان کامکارها

The Ksamkars family from the #Kurdistan region of Iran is one of the most versatile and amazing music groups in Iran.

The ensemble consist of the family members and they play different instrument and sing in many different languages.

This song is one of my favorite. Never forget the night in Stockholm where I vent visiting my brother who was their organizer of their European tour, where they started playing this sing and listening to them play Daff (the drum) in a small room of my friend's apartment was an unbelievable experience. Daff has a very strong base sound that you feel it in your stomach when 3-4 people play it at the same time. That and the whole family singing the song (unlike the case on the video) was an unbelievable experience.

We had a great time with them when they visited NYC while I was there and spent a couple of days being their tourist guide taking them to my favorite hidden treasures of NY China town, Harlem and Spanish Harlem having what on of them said was their best world food tour in 2 days!

Ardalan, the guy playing Santur, at the right side of the ensemble is a music prodigy who plays many instrument at professional level, something that takes decades to master, he does it in months or even weeks. He has written many amazing Kurdish, Persian and western classic music and played in almost every country in Europe, US and Asia.
