• In Music, Only Music

    New music is, first of all, new technology.

    So we shouldn’t expect the same boom of new, classy styles and sounds as in the ’80s and ’90s: back then, the emergence of electronic music and computers was a rare event in its significance—almost like the discovery of electricity itself.

    People were purely and brightly inspired by all those new sounds and possibilities, and they created brightly for the sake of music itself. That’s why in the ’80s and ’90s, and even a bit in the ’00s, there was so much good music.

    Now everyone is a bit oversated—either shy about “repeating,” or heavily corrupted by commerce—and all that “evil” like social networks throws people off track.

    But in music there is really only one thing: the music itself—the enjoyment of it and the discoveries it carries.

    I think the sensible path for any not-stupid creator today is not to chase the invention of a “new sound” or the selling of sound, but simply to do what you truly like—really like—not just because it’s fashionable.

    To imagine nothing is already to imagine something.

  • God

    God is within us: it’s the reason’s concept of the absolute ideal—it attempts to rectify its inherent “cause-seeking” mechanisms;

    it’s also a fusion of some of the reason’s most profound concepts: infinity, perfection; originally conceived through reflections of reality’s experience.

    God is not something that exists outside in space. We have neither seen nor experienced anything there that would justify speaking of it in such a manner.

    Manipulating ideas like a dogmatic “God” that supposedly “explains” everything breeds illusions and prolongs ignorance.

    We really don’t know much—the world is complicated—and we should accept that.

    What truly matters to us is the mind, the models and reflections of reality it holds and perceive. Focus on mind and our human way: by attending to their actual nature, we can unlock higher-quality real experience that leads to genuine improvement and gives new experiences.

    In turn, these experiences may open real avenues to what lies beyond our universe and spacetime.

  • Models in mind

    When I picture the vast universe we live in,  I’m not flying through the real thing, of course,—I’m moving inside a reflected copy, a model built from what I’ve learned and experienced, with the mind observing and working on it. The mind isn’t godlike; it simply flows around this model inside a bio-computer, much like a synthetic mind would circle its own simulated model.

    What the brain has modeled and projected is defined by its ability to create models of the world. This is the essence of consciousness: working with these models.

    Even while receiving the raw flow of reality, the primary foundation of consciousness is still these pre-constructed and arranged models of the already-known world.

    These models of the world are consciousness itself, its defining essence.

    Ideally, one should be able to let these models go, to step beyond them — not be confined within them, but to realize the essence from which they arise. You are an operator of that computer inside of you.

  • Fragility of Large Structures

    Any large concentration of people will, in one way or another, face gradual decay in some form.

    Both technological and physical large-scale systems are destined to collapse, whether they are national states, corporations, or social networks with mega-sites, because they become overly complex, tangled, and bloated.

    And it is a very rare person who can resist temptation, avoid becoming corrupt in such a context, and preserve both skill and integrity. This is not at all easy.

    It is necessary—and the time has come—to build non massive, direct, horizontal connections between us to survive against that.

  • Cults

    The first way to lose weight and get healthy balanced is to end the cult of food—that any sort of pleasure seeking, worship-like or habit attitude toward eating. Eat practically, utilitarianly, and minimally.

    The first way for society to get better is to end the cult of politics—politicians should simply be public servants, temporary figures performing boring administrative work.

    Such disastrous cults are always considered valuable, so the obvious tactic is to devalue them—find arguments and truths showing why they don’t deserve any of our time.

  • Capitalism and Emptiness

    It acts like acidity: an insane drive for money and profit in capitalism at any cost that corrodes essences—especially the subtle ones that are not inherently indented to be sold.

    Why is contemporary American mass-culture (movies) so poor? Because the product must be sold at any price; it cannot be “boring,” there must be no emptiness, every moment has to push a topic.

    This acidity is purely capitalist: like any acid, it works as a catalyst that speeds up reactions.

    What is missing there is a clear understanding of emptiness and its acceptance.

    One must not underestimate the importance of the void; it has to exist and be embraced alongside chaos as two of the most important and fundamental realities.


    Yet capitalism, in its very nature, does not allow emptiness, for its essence lies in constant reactivity and filling—and that, among other things, undermines it.

    Capitalism’s relentless demand to fill every moment with profitable stimulus erodes culture’s necessity for silence and reflection—an omission that may one day undo the system itself.

  • Perfectionism and realism

    A wise person would not be just a perfectionist aesthete; wisdom must not only perceive beauty, such as order, but also recognize the realities and essence of destruction and war. Everything in this world has its place, whether we like it or not.

    In any flow, whether aesthetics, ethics, or politics, the truth of things demands that the subject be aware of all the sides.

  • Contradictions

    Conflict and complexity spark motion, edge, and interest. It’s naive to wish for perfect calm and smoothness—human’s story isn’t like that.
    When you run into the stupid, the dreadful, or the absurd, that’s needed too.
    The main thing is to spot the contrasts correctly: someone who hasn’t taken in the bad can’t truly understand the good.

  • Underestimating Attention Today

    If you valued your attention, they wouldn’t manipulate you with propaganda so much. Still, corporations shamelessly grab it and sell it, too. Attention is a real resource—it’s your life. I wouldn’t spend it mindlessly.

    The real master works with spontaneity and chaos, not endlessly polish second-hand ideas; you can’t ignore it, chaos, random, noise, it’s all a processing of the purity of being; in this, the dynamics serve as the fundamental substrate.

  • representation: Image and Essence

    The human image, within the shaping of cultural value, bears no less weight than the essence of their creations. Yet an image can barely exist without essence—though at times that essence may remain in shadow; over the long term, essence will always dominate its creators’ image, while in the short term illusions and propaganda can influence some minds.

  • Shifting Responsibility

    Passing the blame is the true Klondike of corruption and evil.

    If an order is foolish, do not obey it.
    If you’ve erred, admit it.

    It sounds simple… yet many of us are bound by money, fear, and ensnared in a web of false values.

    How deeply can we be reprogrammed, how easily even the most talented are misled by flawed cultural codes.

    And yet—those who own their responsibility will grow; but those who forever deny every challenge are doomed to decay.

    The weakness of modern (political) systems lies in their complexity and over-delegation. Hundreds of bureaucratic layers make it easy to enact terrible decisions—each one shifting blame upward, evading true accountability at every level.

  • The hidden cost of mind’s efficiency seeking

    The acceptance of any recommendation — whether good or bad — is often shaped not by conscious evaluation, but by the brain’s tendency toward cognitive economy.
    It seeks to conserve energy, simplify effort, and reduce complexity wherever possible.

    That is simply how nature has shaped it.

    But this built-in bias has many unintended consequences.
    We must constantly remember that our conscious self is only a small part of the brain’s total activity.
    Much of what drives us lies beneath awareness, beyond direct control.

    The brain’s impulse to minimize effort doesn’t stop at skipping tasks — it shapes perception, reasoning, even belief.
    It takes shortcuts. It fills in gaps.
    And in doing so, it often misleads us — and even misleads itself.
    This is the hidden cost of efficiency: a mind that confuses ease with truth.

  • The Hidden Count in All Things

    It’s fascinating how the abstraction of the concept of number—perhaps born from something as simple as comparing and generalizing two consecutive actions—could eventually lead to a profound unfolding of calculation, culminating in modern technologies rooted in mathematics (and logic).

    There must have been that initial moment of discovery—when this numerical abstraction revealed itself. Like a quantum is intrinsic to an atom, so too is quantity (number) intrinsic to every object. Every thing carries within it this element—its “numerical being.” Yet this is hidden from the eye. It is an abstraction—residing in the mind, in that invisible field. The Reason works there, where everything it meets is, in some way, classified and sorted.

    By the way, the mind as the space, and the reason as the main operator.

  • Symmetry, Rights, the Health of Society

    Why are equality before the law, genuine justice – adequate, real laws, and a dispersed, neutralized form of power so essential if we truly wish to live well?


    Because a society’s health depends on symmetry. An asymmetrically arranged post-industrial society—authoritarian rule, oligarchy, the sway of billionaires and dictators—creates an over-weighting and a structural imbalance that is bound to bring trouble, sooner or later, for every single member of that structure, one way or another.

    Treat others as you would like to be treated. Don’t create enemies—it’s so easy and banal. Once violence breaks out, it’s very hard to reel it back in. Who really needs that? This isn’t some deep, abstract “destruction”; it’s mostly just stupidity. When you’ve run out of words and ideas, only then do you start to fight—and fighting ends up destroying you as well. The path here is razor-thin…

  • Big Tech’s Desperate AI Push

    How Big Tech keeps forcing all this hype-ridden AI on us is frankly pathetic.

    They’ve sunk so much money into the fantasy of magical, human-replacing AI that they’re now scrambling to recoup their investment—whatever it takes.

    The trouble is, the technology is still crude and clumsy.

    It could take years to mature and, even then, the best it can realistically offer is an assistant’s role.

    And remember: in the logic of sprawling corporations and raw capitalism, profit comes first—often at the cost of people, food, or anything else that gets in the way.

  • Suffering, Progress and Understanding

    Human systems tend to develop only after some form of suffering—so humanity, it seems, still has much to endure.


    But it is not suffering itself that leads to growth; it is the experience and understanding gained through it that open the will toward development.

    In fact, one could avoid suffering and still achieve great progress—but not without a clear understanding of what suffering would occur if things were left unmanaged.


    Development doesn’t require pain—it requires awareness of what pain might result from stagnation.

  •  Technofeudalism, Data Protection, and AI Regulations

    We absolutely need data-protection, real privacy, and AI regulations today. The longer we remain without proper laws, the bigger the mess we will have to fix.

    The current state of technofeudalism lets random companies monopolize people’s basic needs, shamelessly steal their data, aggressively push bullshit, spread disinformation easily.

    It’s a big disaster, and some countries are already being politically affected, things overall to become even more complicated soon.

  • Capitalism and corrosion of Value

    The arrival of social media led directly to the formation of information bubbles. Instead of being a tool for connection and unity, social media proved to be mostly the opposite.

    Usually, the poisonous pursuit of profit is clearly at the root of such problems. But you can’t say that people themselves are evil or act out of malice; people generally just live the best they can and naturally try to do what’s right—to the most of their understanding, of course.

    What’s truly important here is the SYSTEM in which people function—the established norms and the tools they are given. Capitalism clearly has its flaws, such as this crude corrosion of substance in a pursuit of… it’s not even clear what, because after all, both the essential value of the product and even its profits often decline as a result.

    The most obvious high-level solution is to maintain capitalism and its pursuit of profit and development, while actively balancing these goals with the principles of humanism and socialism.

  • Experience being given form

    When real art is being created, it is the experience being given form. 

    The artist builds it from the emotions they have felt and the things they have lived through. 

    The act of creation itself is the act of sharing emotions, ideas.

    Commercial products designed solely for profit often fail to offer genuine emotional experiences. Because their underlying foundation is hollow, they are ultimately incapable of enduring over time or offering genuine value.
