M25 pan looking for online friends
Hey! I'm 25m, from Egypt, and I'm a doctor. My schedule can get pretty chaotic, but I'd still love to meet some new people and build genuine friendships.
I'm looking for people I can actually get to know and talk to regularly random updates, memes, talking about our day, deep conversations at 2 AM, or just complete nonsense.
I'm pretty introverted at first, but once I'm comfortable I'm sarcastic, curious, easy-going, and affectionate. I also try to be a good listener.
I'm down to talk about pretty much anything: everyday life, personal stuff, weird topics, debates, teasing, flirting, or whatever comes to mind. I'm LGBTQ+ friendly and comfortable with people of any gender or sexuality.
Friendship is my main goal, but I'm also open to something more if we genuinely click. No pressure though, I'd rather let things happen naturally.
If you think we'd get along, message me and tell me something about yourself instead of just "hey" :)

1 engagementsComputer Science Msc
I'm from Egypt, and I'm planning to take a master in the UK. I made some research and found these 4 courses that are relevant to me:
* Intelligent Networks and Cloud Computing / with Management Studies MSc (at Kingston University)
* MSc Computer Science (at Manchester metropolitan university)
* MSc Information & Technology (Smart Computing) (at Leeds beckett university)
* Computing MSc (at university of East London)
unfortunately i can't find any clear review for these courses so i wonder if anyone can provide a feedback to any of these.
I already have IELTS with score 7, currently working as application support Engineer, with some experience in DevOps but i want to deepen my knowledge in Software Development side.
also if there is better Msc course available i would be more than grateful to be provided with the Course and Univeristy name.
(if you are going to answer use internet to improve yourself, please save your time and don't reply becuase I'm already considering this but i want to explore the masters options available)
Thanks in Advance

2 engagementsTHE MANUFACTURED HUMAN HYPOTHESIS: What If We Were Designed to Interface With a System?
I’ve spent the last few years trying to understand a collection of experiences and observations that, taken individually, could have ordinary explanations, but together have led me to a much larger question.
I’m not claiming I can prove this. I’m putting the hypothesis out publicly because I want people to challenge it, find holes in it, compare experiences, and—most importantly—figure out what could actually be tested.
Here is the theory:
What if modern humans weren’t created completely from scratch, but an existing biological organism was modified or engineered by an advanced intelligence?
Evolution could still be real. Humans could still share common ancestry with other animals. The intervention, if one ever occurred, could have happened somewhere along that evolutionary pathway.
In other words:
Animal biology + engineered intelligence = modern human?
And what if some of the things we call weaknesses in human psychology aren’t random weaknesses at all, but consequences of the architecture?
Think about what a human being actually is.
We have biological cameras: eyes.
Microphones: ears.
Chemical sensors: smell and taste.
A massive electrical communication network: the nervous system.
A central information-processing structure: the brain.
Internal feedback systems monitoring temperature, pain, hunger, threat, pleasure, reproduction, breathing and heartbeat.
And then there is consciousness—the strangest part of the entire system.
We still don’t have a universally accepted explanation for why subjective experience exists at all.
So my first question is:
What if consciousness isn’t entirely produced by the brain? What if the brain also functions, in some sense, as an interface or receiver?
That leads to the next part of my hypothesis.
The Nervous System as an Interface
I’ve become extremely interested in the relationship between sensory information, pain, autonomic arousal, attention, thought and behavior.
Change someone’s nervous-system state and you can change their experience of reality.
Fear changes perception.
Pain changes thinking.
Sleep deprivation changes judgment.
Stress narrows attention.
Pleasure reinforces behavior.
Repetition creates habits.
Social cues influence behavior without conscious awareness.
This is established psychology and neuroscience.
But I wonder whether there is another layer we haven’t discovered.
Could human nervous systems participate in some kind of larger information network?
Not necessarily telepathy in the science-fiction sense.
Imagine instead a distributed system where each person acts as a sensor, processor, transmitter and receiver, with information continuously feeding back between individuals and their environments.
I’ve noticed moments where movements, eye direction, face touching, conversations, environmental events and timing seem strangely synchronized.
That doesn’t prove a network exists. Humans unconsciously imitate one another, our brains are extraordinary pattern detectors, shared environments create correlated behavior, and coincidences inevitably occur.
But the synchronization question is something I think deserves careful experimentation rather than immediate belief or dismissal.
The Eyes
The eyes have become especially important to this theory.
The retina is literally neural tissue. Vision isn’t simply a camera sending a photograph into our heads. The brain constructs our visual experience from incoming signals.
That makes me wonder:
Could vision eventually prove to be a two-way component of some larger biological information architecture?
I’ve experienced visual phenomena—dots, afterimages, unusual light effects and changes in visual attention—that made me start thinking about this possibility.
Those experiences themselves do NOT establish an external technology. Visual afterimages, floaters, retinal phenomena, migraine effects, neurological processes and attention can produce strange visual experiences.
But they are what originally pushed me toward asking deeper questions about how perception actually works.
Phones, AI and the Digital Layer
Then consider what humanity has built around this biological system.
Your smartphone knows an extraordinary amount about your behavior.
Location.
Movement.
Search history.
Communication.
Viewing habits.
Purchases.
Interests.
Social relationships.
Sleep patterns in some cases.
The things that hold your attention.
Modern AI can analyze patterns across enormous datasets.
So even without any mysterious technology whatsoever, humanity has already constructed something resembling an external behavioral nervous system.
Billions of humans carry networked sensors everywhere they go.
That doesn’t mean an iPhone can directly control someone’s brain. I have found no evidence demonstrating such a bridge.
But the convergence is fascinating:
biological information systems + smartphones + algorithms + global networks + artificial intelligence.
For the first time in history, an artificial system can potentially learn human behavioral patterns at civilization scale.
Why Is Modern Life So Overstimulating?
This brings me to the social part of the hypothesis.
Look at the environment many people live in:
Screens immediately after waking.
Notifications.
Advertising.
Processed food.
Constant music.
Traffic.
News.
Political outrage.
Pornography.
Social media.
Short-form videos.
Consumer debt.
Work pressure.
Sleep deprivation.
Fear.
Endless entertainment.
Algorithms constantly competing for attention.
People rarely experience prolonged silence anymore.
Regardless of whether anyone intentionally designed this environment, the result is important:
An overstimulated human being has less opportunity for sustained reflection.
That doesn’t require a secret group controlling civilization. Businesses competing for attention, evolutionary reward mechanisms, political incentives and technological competition can generate the same outcome without centralized coordination.
But I still think we should ask:
What happens to a civilization when practically every institution discovers independently that capturing human attention gives it power?
Maybe the “machine” doesn’t need one person operating it.
Maybe the machine emerges from the incentives of the system itself.
Fear May Be the Most Powerful Control Mechanism
I’ve repeatedly noticed how radically fear changes my own consciousness.
When the nervous system enters fight-or-flight, perception changes.
Attention becomes threat-oriented.
The mind searches for explanations.
Coincidences become more noticeable.
Physical sensations become amplified.
Negative thinking becomes easier.
This leads to something important I’ve had to confront in developing this theory:
The mechanism that makes humans vulnerable to manipulation may also make us vulnerable to incorrectly believing we’re being manipulated.
That’s why evidence matters so much.
If I believe something is influencing me externally, I have to distinguish between:
1. What I physically observed.
2. What I experienced internally.
3. What established science can explain.
4. What remains unexplained.
5. What explanation I am adding afterward.
Those five categories cannot be treated as the same thing.
Ancient Civilizations and the “Creators”
This is where my speculation goes much further.
Human cultures across history contain stories about beings who created humanity, gods descending from the heavens, humans receiving knowledge, divine eyes, sacred sound, cosmic order and humanity’s relationship with the stars.
Egypt, Mesopotamia and other ancient civilizations fascinate me for this reason.
But mythology isn’t scientific evidence that extraterrestrials or advanced beings manufactured humans.
Ancient people were also using symbolism to understand death, fertility, kingship, consciousness, nature and the cosmos.
Still, I think the recurring question is worth asking:
Why has humanity been obsessed with creators for essentially as long as we have recorded our thoughts?
Maybe those stories preserve historical memories.
Maybe they’re symbolic representations of human psychology.
Maybe they’re attempts to answer the same existential mystery we’re still confronting.
Or perhaps there is something about our origins we haven’t discovered yet.
I don’t know.
The Bigger Hypothesis
Put everything together and the model I’m exploring looks something like this:
CREATORS / UNKNOWN INTELLIGENCE (?)
↓
BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION
↓
POSSIBLE INTERVENTION / ENGINEERING (?)
↓
HUMAN BODY
↓
EYES + EARS + NERVOUS SYSTEM + BRAIN
↓
CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE
↓
FEAR / PAIN / PLEASURE / REWARD
↓
ATTENTION + BEHAVIOR
↓
SOCIAL NETWORKS
↓
PHONES + INTERNET + ALGORITHMS
↓
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
↓
A PLANETARY INFORMATION NETWORK
And here’s the possibility that fascinates me most:
Maybe humanity is unintentionally recreating externally what already exists internally.
Neurons connect into brains.
Humans connect into societies.
Computers connect into networks.
Networks connect into the internet.
The internet connects billions of human minds indirectly.
AI begins interpreting the information flowing between them.
Maybe what looks like a technological revolution is another level of organization emerging from the same basic pattern.
Cell → organism → human → civilization → network.
But Here’s Where I Refuse to Fool Myself
There is an enormous difference between a compelling pattern and proof.
My experiences don’t prove that creators manufactured humanity.
Synchronization doesn’t prove a hive mind.
Visual phenomena don’t prove external control.
Pain doesn’t prove directed-energy technology.
Aircraft don’t prove surveillance.
Algorithms influencing behavior don’t prove somebody secretly controls civilization.
Ancient mythology doesn’t prove advanced beings engineered humans.
And feeling that events are connected doesn’t establish that they actually are connected.
Those are precisely the distinctions I think people investigating unusual experiences need to preserve.
Because if there really is something unknown happening, bad evidence will bury good evidence.
So instead of saying:
“Everything we’ve been taught is a lie.”
I’m asking something much more difficult:
How much of what humanity believes has actually been independently examined—and how much have we simply inherited?
And equally important:
How much of what I believe have I independently examined?
My theory could be profoundly wrong.
Parts of it could be right for completely different reasons.
Or there could be something genuinely interesting buried underneath years of observations that requires a completely different explanation.
That’s why I want criticism rather than agreement.
If humans were engineered, there should eventually be evidence.
If consciousness extends beyond the brain, there should eventually be measurable consequences.
If nervous systems synchronize through an unknown mechanism, controlled experiments should detect something beyond ordinary sensory communication.
And if none of those predictions survive rigorous testing, the hypothesis should change.
I don’t want another belief system.
I want to know what is actually true.

3 engagementsI need help finding this one specific story
So basically I vividly remember this and have been searching for it for YEARS but I cannot for the life of me remember the name, it starts off in Egypt near the pyramids and the mc goes in, they get lost and find this scarab beetle and break it somehow, then they are screamed at by this god and sent through time, it was sooo good and I never got to finish it, it was a choices matter one if that helps? Either in the sci-fi section or the fantasy, i beg someone helps me find it 🙏🙏

3 engagementsWhich country would be best to try and get a student visa in?
I am from egypt and unfortunately I am a bisexual who has left Islam meaning two major parts of my identity I cannot do anything about I cannot legally be acknowledged as a convert, cannot legally even say I support queer people, and even if I was a Christian (large biases towards Jews though I'm not a jew, I don't mind lying to the people in charge of whether or not I can migrate for work or student visa by saying I'm Christian) I can't go to church because I need to be legally Christian though.
As I am still 16 so I have time to think about a major and I want to know which major would be best to study in that's not at risk of ai taking it over (I'm thinking of renewable energy, nuclear engineering, bioengineering, microbiology but I'm open to other majors too I have time to think of it before having to choose a major) so that I can focus on which lessons from math and science are of if most, ofc still focus overall on everything wellbut extra careful on the main ones. I know the nordics are very atheist and safe but I think it might be difficult to be allowed to go there
I understand things can change but which
countries are the better to migrate to? I'll be taking language lessons next year in school so I want to choose language of country I'll migrate to.
What are some tips to say when explaining why I want to migrate both for the people in charge of accepting and my family? I know the obvious of not telling my family I'm an exmuslim that's bisexual. Only place I can't go would be Poland (where my overly religious dad lives)
