Arkadaşlar, tabloyu TİM’in web sitesinden indirip inceledim. Acaba ben mi yanlış anlıyorum?
1 Ocak-31 Aralık 2024 arası, 757.5 milyon dolarlık ihracat mı yapmışız Filistin’e? 513bin dolarlık mücevher? 😳 @metcihan.bsky.social @nevsinmengutv.bsky.social @ozlemgursess.bsky.social

See how her voice, though silenced, continues to echo through the struggles of those who dare to seek truth in a world that often fears it!
Journalist!
Intellectuals!
Students!
People who resist in the streets against tyrants!
Hail to you!

Today, as we continue to fight for freedom of thought and knowledge in a world where truth is often manipulated, Hypatia’s story is a powerful reminder.
The battle for intellectual freedom, for the right to question, is as relevant today as it was 1,600 years ago.

In 415 CE, Hypatia was murdered and became a victim of political and religious violence.
Her death marked the end of an era of intellectual freedom and the triumph of ignorance over reason.
Yet, her legacy endures as a symbol of the price of wisdom in the face of tyranny.

As religious and political tensions grew, Hypatia’s intellectual influence became a threat.
Her Pagan beliefs and commitment to truth challenged the growing Christian power in Alexandria.
Her very existence contradicted the rising authority of those who sought to control knowledge.

#Hypatia of Alexandria, a brilliant mathematician and philosopher, stood as a beacon of knowledge in 4th-century Alexandria.
Her teachings, blending science and philosophy, drew students from across the ancient world. She represented intellectual freedom in a city that valued wisdom.

It’s about choosing what’s right and just over what’s convenient.

And today, the story feels familiar.
We still see people—mayors, journalists, activists—challenging laws that violate human dignity.

Antigone lives on in those who refuse to remain silent.

Antigone’s tragedy is not just about burying a brother—it’s about standing up when the system is wrong.
It’s about having the courage to make the hard choice, even when the world/laws/rulers tell you otherwise.

She defied the law, because there are times when morality has to outweigh obedience.

For her act of defiance, Antigone was condemned to death.
She did not beg for mercy.
She did not apologize.
She stood by her decision, because to her, honor and love for her family came before the law of any king.

#ANTIGONE

Antigone was given a choice:
Obey the king’s decree and leave her brother unburied, or defy the state and honor him.

The law of the land said no.
But her conscience said yes.
And in that moment, she made her decision.

Prometheus, Socrates, Boethius…
they all show us that the cost of truth can be high.
But they also show that resistance doesn’t disappear.
It echoes. It grows.
And sometimes, it starts with just one person who refuses to stay quiet.

It’s the same pattern:
Those who give people tools to think, organize, or hope
are often treated as threats.
But here’s the irony:
You can punish a person,
but you can’t unlight a fire.

thinkers silenced for asking hard questions,
journalists imprisoned for lighting even a small flame.

Prometheus never walked free again in the myth.
But the world he changed?
It never went back to silence.

And today—thousands of years later—his story still feels familiar.

We still see people punished for giving others a voice.

They tried to make him an example. To show what happens when someone dares to break the rules. But the thing about fire—it spreads. People began to question, to speak. The same fire that got him chained, became the spark of every act of resistance that came after.

Because deep down, he knew what he had done mattered.
He had given people the first tool that made them human.
And for that, he was willing to suffer.

Prometheus was chained to a rock—out in the open, on the edge of the world.
No trial. No defense. Just a sentence.
Every day, an eagle came and tore at his liver.
Every night, it grew back.
An endless cycle of pain.

And yet—Prometheus stayed silent.
No regret. No apology.

Zeus didn’t take it lightly.
Fire meant power.
And Prometheus had handed that power to the ones Zeus wanted to control.
It wasn’t just about the flame—it was about disobedience, about challenging the order of things.

So he made an example out of him.

So he took fire from the gods.
Not just heat and flame, but everything it symbolized—
creativity, reason, freedom.
And he gave it to humans. Quietly.
As a gift. As a risk.

The moment he did that, everything changed.

And Zeus?
He didn’t just see theft.
He saw rebellion.

The gods, especially Zeus, wanted it that way.
They kept fire,kept knowledge, tools, power,out of reach.Humans were meant to stay small. But Prometheus saw more.
He saw potential.
He saw people not as fragile or weak, but as unfinished.
And he believed they deserved more.

#PROMETHEUS
In the earliest days, people lived in fear.
Cold, powerless, without fire—both literally and metaphorically.
They obeyed whatever they were told, because they didn’t know they could question anything.
They didn’t even know they could know.
