Systems and structures and their cells
Capitalism and all that, all this big-tech stuff — any large corporation, whatever sweet little thing it may have been in the beginning, will in the end become a dumb, all-consuming monster. The essence is not only in the biggest structure itself, after all, but in its units, its cells — that is, in people.…

Life and death
Only those truly live who have understood death completely.

Untitled
It begins when the old taboos of primitive society stop working; when society grows, becomes more complex, and starts to change. At that point, human being begins to ask questions — and, more than that, is forced to ask them. Something like this happened in the time of ancient Athens, with the rise of the…

My lifestyle: minimalism
Only minimalism can save you from all this consumerism and capitalism , from all this bullshit. Besides, with minimalism you are always ready to move, ready to face any problem. I mean it as a lifestyle. I have been living like this for years, and this approach has truly proven itself: whether times are extremely…

Thoughts about color of grey
How little we, as human beings, grasp the depth and complexity of reality. I look at the colour grey: pure grey, the exact middle between black and white. On a monitor, it is only a fill, a point in a transition, a calculated balance of light. But then I begin to think of pure grey…

The Moment Belief Starts
I am curious asin the exact moment when the mind decides that information is true. Not truth in the abstract. Not a full theory of knowledge. I mean the practical moment inside consciousness when a person reads, hears, or sees something and thinks: “That’s right. That’s true.” This moment is important because it often happens…

Inner flow
You do not have to control every movement inside your mind. Sometimes it is enough to step aside and let the flow move on its own: like, let the water drain, the glue set, the ice freeze. Not every tension demands an immediate solution. Some things become clearer not when you press harder, but when…

The Only Ideal
There is no perfect form, no perfect ideal, you must understand… except the simplest one. Not that banal simplicity, but the one that comes after you have tried and understood all the complexity.

Posture and gait
Feet should never move faster than the head. Action should never outpace sense And when I say this, I mean not only the abstract idea but the real physical presentation too: it literally just looks better when a person walks straight and without a hurried, rushed, unbalanced appearance.

I correct
I feel too much violence in my words recently. I do not like that, my style is not like that as well. There are various levels of subjective and objective violence phenomenon appearance and one of the fundamental ones – contextual, word and sense violence. Yes I do not like many things and we ought…

This universe is not a positive one, its symmetry is not what you expect it to be
This universe is not a positive one. Worse, what you expected, most likely will happen, not good. Especially all humans. Humans are a savage, temporary evolution breed. We were brought here to endure and suffer, to give painful birth to next-level humans—super humans. All current nations and races are the same. If you live closer,…

I’m totally against of age verification because it is a lie and a trojan horse
US national level OS-level age verification bill proposed A comment I could not agree more with: hypeatei 3 hours ago | parent | next [–]I’m not sure why Meta’s lobbying is harped on so much when all of Big Tech benefits from this; Zuckerberg is just the fall guy. Tech companies love the idea of identity / age verification so they…

As about Ai…sometimes its useful, yep. But in somebody else’s cloud? No, thanks.
I like AI. But in somebody else’s cloud? But cloud USA bullshit? No, thanks. All those chats you put there will be used against you someday. I use AI neutrally and as little as possible. If you use it too much, you become a dumb, lazy idiot. I use it for some coding assistance, some…

Turbo enshittification
Google and Reddit officially turned into complete trash today, like so many other products. Completely removed them from my life already. Turbo enshittification is everywhere now. Most of those American corporations we used to think were fun and good in the 2000s have turned into absolute garbage. If you listen to the masses and chase…

Thought experiment about consumerism
Things, things… just pieces of junk, really. Sometimes I think: what if everyone lived simply, in caves with bare walls, and even without clothes? Then what meaning would life have for people? Today it often feels like consumerism is everything — work just so you can buy more things, basically. But an experiment in emptiness…

There is a moment when growing up feels complete
There is a moment when growing up feels complete. You say to yourself: that is it, now I understand how life works. I know what fits me, how to behave, even how to dress. Knowledge becomes a kind of line, and crossing it gives a strange calm. As if confusion is behind you. But every…

About real leaders
A leader is not the one who is wealthier or has more connections. A true leader is someone who fights first, takes the hardest burdens on himself, and accepts more risk. But willpower alone is not enough. A true leader is always smart, understands ordinary people, and helps them because he knows he is just…

Believe me.
Something essential in life is learning how to love struggle—problems, conflict, fights. Otherwise, they will overwhelm you. I learned that early, and in my own way, I came to value them. Life has given me a lot of harsh things, honestly, ever since childhood. I’m a full orphan, raised in aggressive Russian ghettos, but I…

On things
What matters is how flexible a thing is, how adaptive it is. For example, a tiling setup like Sway with a bunch of terminals is, today, a more optimal thing than some stale Windows with a pile of limitations, donkey-level productivity, and crippled multitasking. In a Linux (or any other open source) terminal-based tiling workflow…

“PrO Ai”
Microsoft: Copilot is for entertainment purposes only Anthropic does a somewhat similar thing. If you visit their ToS (the one for Max/Pro plans) from a European IP address, they replace one section with this: Non-commercial use only. You agree not to use our Services for any commercial or business purposes and we (and our Providers)…
