• People used to say that “Bitcoin is based on nothing,” but that’s not true. The real value behind Bitcoin is its decentralization and recognition

    People used to say that “Bitcoin based on nothing…” that its value is basically zero compared to fiat money or “limited” assets like gold.

    Bitcoin’s core value comes from its decentralization, its strictly limited supply, and the fact that the system actually known and works well in practice. The values like that are real.

    What backs the internet itself—not the corporations trying to dominate it, but the open network underneath? It’s value comes from decentralization, trust, recognition. Or a pop star? Or a reputation? There is a lot of value “in the air”.

    People genuinely need real decentralization. Most understand, at least on some level, that governments, corporations, and large institutions cannot always be trusted. Modern nation-state systems are overgrown, and slowly decaying. The masses phenomenon itself often create long-term harm.

    At the same time, we see rising authoritarianism, reckless money printing, and, more importantly, aggressive asset grabbing. Which is natural at the scale level of systems like that, managers there often don’t mind real responsibility and feedback, causing lots of damage. Any BIG and centralized country can and will slide into corruption or dictatorship and suddenly freeze or seize people’s savings.

    That is exactly the problem Bitcoin is designed to resist.

    Decentralization, censorship resistance, and global adoption are what truly give Bitcoin its underlying value. Those are the reasons it is likely to endure.

    What would the internet itself be today if it were just a Google product or an American government asset?

  • I don’t give a damn.

    Seems like it’s better to never take anything overly seriously, to never overly believe in something or become a fanatic.

    No, I always want to be a little relaxed, open to everything, ready to understand any side the world can turn toward.

    That way of being simply feels more efficient.

    But not to be broken with too much softness, I want to keep a critical eye, ask and answer any question, be ready to take action and prove facts when needed. In such a position, I can always say without being nervous, “Yes, I did it and I believed,” because I also examined different sides as well.

    Hard, illusional, blinded positions many people take today are only making everything worse.

  • From Capitalism to Feodalism? Easy

    Again about emerging “techno-feudalism”

    “a product for the 8,000 billionaires on this planet who are sick and tired of the answer to the question “who’s going to buy their products”?

    Nobody. Nobody’s going to buy their products because they’re not going to have products. The goal is to dismantle capitalism and replace it with a new kind of feudalism.”source

    Avoid big tech (and any mega corporations in general) at any cost, boycott their products and don’t believe them as far as its possible, that’s what I think.

    No doubts those blind greedy monsters would not stop destroying everything around in their crazy rush for money and power.

    Capitalism nature is to get back to feudalism, it is not truly progressive, even if being productive.

  • Silence

    In Western culture, and it’s natural derivative of after-globalisation post industrial (digital) capitalism culture, the real art and value of silence is clearly absent; and the culture of emptiness is missing too.  

    Well, of course—capitalism needs to sell, and you can’t sell emptiness.  

    Everything has to be filled and filled again, more and more.

    But the other side of this is forgotten: clutter.

    Yet sometimes silence is more important than words.  

    You need to know how to be silent, to love doing it, to master it. How to accept and deal with the emptiness and to understand when it is needed.

    There is strength in this, its own kind of beauty.

    In general, emptiness and minimalism have a much deeper potential in everything than filling, noise, and abundance.  

    Personally, I try to be silent as much as possible; to feel that threshold when there’s no need to act, speak, or acquire anything.  

    This is a profound essence.

  • Art

    If you don’t understand the real essence of real art — it’s about blooming, about giving your beauty to the universe. That’s it. No more, no less.

    When life, when nature shines, it doesn’t ask for anything in return. True art isn’t made to make sales — it’s made to give meaning. Without art and beauty, would we even truly live?

    I say again: it’s just wrong try to sell everything and see everything thru the prism of money -it’s an act of poverty. Capitalism forces us all to become slaves to an illusion: that blind pursuit of money. 

    If you’re a true artist, you don’t mess around with money or fame—it’s not noble.

    Art can be practical and useful, even sellable, but it’s not its primary essence.

    Real beauty just glows and it’s not asking you about anything.

  • Chaos and order in universe

    If entropy and chaos in the universe are increasing,

  • Law and social media

    Big tech social media platforms have no real laws controlling them. If the boss doesn’t like you, they can block you without reason, saying, “You can’t use our service.” It feels like feudalism or authoritarian rule.

    In this unbalanced system, companies just focus on making money by pushing whatever content they want because most users stay stuck and don’t leave.

    That’s why I avoid big tech social media. It feels like living somewhere with no freedom. Without the ability to move or breathe freely, nothing good happens.

    Until individuals can effectively sue major tech companies to regain control over their data and demand a balanced and adaptable flow of social data, the situation will only deteriorate. While large public companies should adhere to laws and public regulations, new technology is still in its infancy, necessitating unconventional measures to achieve equilibrium. Right now, it’s like living in wild, lawless times.

  • Understanding Systems Above Individuals

    The functioning of societies and economies is defined far more by systems than by individual people. Markets, laws, and shared values create an organized structure that distributes resources, opportunities, and influence. It is not particular individuals that hold the ultimate power, but rather the mechanisms of these systems themselves.

    A system of market sharing, collective values, law enforcement, and mutual loyalty determines who becomes a billionaire and who remains a worker—even when the worker might be equally capable or, at times, even smarter. Often, circumstances combined with the flow of systemic forces elevate one person over another. In truth, only a small fraction of the population is extraordinarily talented, a small fraction is truly unwise, and the vast majority are just normal, simply moves with the currents that systems create.

    Recognizing and understanding these systems—how they operate, evolve, and influence individuals—is the key to understanding society itself. Individual actions rarely shift the system in a significant way, but the system continuously shapes individuals, their opportunities, and their choices.

    People accumulate influence and affect one another in small, intricate ways, but fear—of loss, of death, of being cast out—often prevents serious resistance to established systems. In many authoritarian contexts, the majority of people become blind to the illusion of shared participation, not realizing that the system serves itself rather than them.

    Ultimately, the core insight is simple: systems govern people more than people govern systems, and seeing this truth is the first step toward understanding the world.

  • Beyond Language

    A thought, in its surface linguistic form, is only the shaping of small fragments — digestible, socially shared pieces of processed meaning.

    A word is just a container.

    But the real movement is the flow of feeling, the reflection of experience, and even the quiet forming and foreseeing of future experience — a kind of inner glance that comes before language takes shape.

    Language and logic are useful forms, helping us to move and arrange the mass of experience and emotion — but they are not the essence itself.

    Intuition, feeling, and silent insight live beneath language — and even beyond it, outside the synthetic and social layer of speech.

    To dive deep is to go there — beyond the linguistic model.

    I prefer not thinking in such narrow categories —
    in terms of like / dislikegood / badpleasant / unpleasant.

  • How post-capitalist, informational, networked societies are being driven

    Emotion—not logic—that’s how post-capitalist, informational, networked societies are being driven (if not swung or dragged).

    It’s sharpened, hyperbolized; it’s neither bad nor good—it’s just accelerated. Acceptance and adaptation, strategic corrections—that’s what should be done, not blaming or denying

    The deeper tech goes, the bigger the split: fools get dumber, thinkers get sharper.


    Maybe that’s how the human race begins to divide. But to truly understand the dumb and manipulate them efficiently, you’ve got to be dumb in some ways too.

  • Dark Sound

    To create an evil, dark, yet correct sound, harmony or the minor scale is not as important as having those dark spectral elements for that purpose. The sound itself should come first.

    Pure mathematical theory takes a backseat in this case. Pure feelings and experience come before any theory; you got to just try it. In many aspects of life, we need to go and try things and be honest with our feelings, putting theories and so-called research a little bit behind.

    Fame is an illusion. Not everyone will adore you; there will always be many people who don’t know you (especially today, when fame has become highly fragmented and polarized). Or there will always be people who hate you despite everything you’ve done.

    Don’t think about others. Just do something useful for humanity, something that you genuinely enjoy and therefore has the energy to do and can do good. Find it, focus on it, and don’t overthink it.

  • Realism in morals

    How can we speak of morality if it is founded on empathy—on the shared experience of another’s suffering—when so many people are entirely devoid of this sense? It is as if they are deaf to it, in the same way some are blind to thinking and planning with perspective.

    From afar, it benefits all of us to, if not love each other, at least stay respectful and neutral, and to find ways to cooperate. Yet there are those who refuse to see this, who have no desire to notice, and who barge ahead with their own truths, glued to “feels good” polarization; as many human being inevitably do just because it’s the easiest way.

    But what kind of morality should we seek—one that does not rely on empathy, which many lack; and that does not depend on foresight, which many cannot perceive; yet also avoids the cult of strength, which leads only to self-destruction?

    Isn’t morality, if seen from such a perspective, mostly an illusion of simply being good, an ideological abstraction?

    One cannot feel the base of morality without power and laws backing it, because bad people will inevitably appear and try to exploit the good. “Do not expect pure morals, but rather expect balanced cooperation”

    It is in the nature of any person to think about themselves first, so whatever motivates morality is ultimately an ideological thing, layered with many other influences in real life.

    Any crowded website in conditions like today’s—(“money money money,” among other things)—will inevitably become a low quality. Paid propaganda and bots will seep in everywhere.

  • Social media

    ”The world does not need to hear from most people. And by most people I mean a staggeringly large percentage of the population. Including me, in case you’re leaping to point that out… I agree. What the average person has to say should mostly be heard by their family, some of it by their community, perhaps a tiny bit of it by their township, and virtually none of it beyond that. The idea of global connection as a positive force is a delusion.

    I believe that people are generally good. And good people can connect locally with other good people. You know who has the greatest need to reach out of their swamps to find other like-minded folks? Shitty people. It’s those representing the worst of humanity who find connection online the most attractive, because exposing it in person is dangerous. If you hate women, the internet is your perfect escape. You can commiserate with your misogynistic brethren 24 hours a day. Then you put on your game face and hide IRL.

    We have a word for it when people harboring some dark tendencies reach out into cyberspace and evolve their positions. It’s called “radicalization”. And why are they radicalized? Because every jackass can be heard. And those shrieking the loudest aren’t our best.

    Know what we don’t have a word for? The process of that person reaching out and discovering things aren’t that bad, and choosing positive directions.

    Would we really lose much of value if all social media suddenly vanished? Well, unless you’re prepared to defend the idea that people didn’t lead vibrant lives in 2002, the answer is mostly no.

    Our brains did not evolve to live in this mess of connection and isolation. We’ve been beta testing a new way of being for the last 20 years, and the data doesn’t look good.”

    Source

    Social media, as we used to know it, is a dead end.

    With all that AI slop and the overall tendency to radicalization and money-hunting, it’s definitely better to avoid such systems, espesially anything by big tech’s ‘delivering content algorithmically’.

    People need to fix, reinvent the internet, to make things better, – rescale, decentralize, balance.

    Society will inevitably encounter such a problem sooner or later, when it will become evident to everyone that this way of doing internet is no longer effective and poses a real danger.

  • Settling

    Settling down makes us easy to control. It feeds old feudal habits and today’s state–corporate order. If we didn’t choose a calm, well-fed life, we’d be harder to rule by people who drift into high office by chance.

    We relax, and the seams split — first inside us, then around us. Humans became human by moving: walking, risking, learning. Movement made us flexible and free.

    Settling brought fat, stagnation, and soft will. It helps the system more than it helps us. When I look at harm, I keep seeing the same root and the same hands: fear of change.

    Life is a road, not a parking lot. Freedom needs movement — body, mind, spirit. Stop moving, and you become material for other people’s plans.

  • Late stage capitalism

    Generally speaking, we’re stuck—if not degrading. Some small areas may be seeing progress, but overall our civilization has gained very little in recent decades.

    Compare 70s, 80s, 90s. Such big jumps in progress even just visually. Cars, politics, technology.

    Now check 00s, 10s, 20s. It’s all almost the same since start of 00s/end of 90s, but even worse. Internet, cars designs, no fresh political freedoms, etc.

    Among the few new ideas, are you really sure you need all that AI slop in your life? Enshitification of everything, even american power?

    It’s going to happen something really bad before people understand and reload.

    Late stage capitalism’s core flaw is the relentless greedy pursuit of money and power, which erodes freedom. Without freedom, progress stalls; there’s no space or time to create.

    Sometimes we still can make fancy things today, but most of them grew from a spirit of freedom and quality—not the corporate bloat that dominates too much.

    That pursuit, that greed of capitalism, is something we need sometimes to speed things up. However, it’s also crucial to balance that with a proper understanding of human nature, society, the nature of restrictions and freedom.

    And It’s always good to remember the downside of rapid advancement: pollution and entropy.
