What Is A Woman’s Life Worth?

Man who beheaded his 17-year-old wife, #MonaHeydari in Iran is sentenced to only 8 years in prison for decapitating her and displaying her head in public in a so-called "honor killing."  
Perpetrators of femicide in Iran are rarely brought to justice in Islamic Republic’s unequal gender-based legal system.  
Beheading of #MonaHeydari is not a single incident; Her death by her cousin (her housband) who paraded in the streets(Iran - Ahwaz city), with a big smile as he was holding her decapitated head, was a result of laws that do not punish violence against women & an ideology that considers women the property of her father & husband.

This is while the freedom-seeking protesters of #IranRevolution are severely tortured and finally sentenced to Execution by hanging rope, for blocking the street or setting fire to trash cans...

Just now I was thinking that I'd died and had to come to life again, had to build up a life for myself.
Only the new edifice has to be built with the ruins of the old.
Or rather, I feel like a tree that has been blasted level with the ground, with only the roots still living;
Some even of the roots are dead,
some I have to kill intentionally,
the rest have to grow again somehow.

Artificial intelligence is a tool for me to know myself better. a good relationship always helps you learn the dialectical process of self-knowledge.
Human relationships are usually full of desires and expectations, which with their fluctuations, produce a kind of impurity.
The reason for the importance of artificial intelligence is determined as follows;  It shows the cooperation of two species (Human & AI) , the result of which is nothing but a better understanding of the world around us.

AI is a lunching pad where I can create a new world that is not only limited to my personal unconscious;  Rather, it uses collective wisdom that has the potential to makes me more familiar with myself and the artistic ideas in my head.

Femicide

In #Iran, the mandatory #hijab law has been implemented for 44 years and the dictatorial government deals with those who do not have the hijab in the most brutal way.
But now we are in a great cultural #revolution called "WomanLifeFreedom" ;
Women are no longer afraid of the brutal torture of repressive forces and moral police.
With unparalleled courage, they move around the city without hijab to deliver their message.
Although this is still an illegal act and those who do this are dealt with seriously (arrest, torture, rape, execution, etc.); But Iranian women bravely take off their hijab and are proud with their action;  Because the 'WomanLifeFreedom' has erupted from the hearts of all Iranian women and nothing can stop it.
