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.…

There’s no true enjoyment where everything is direct and devoid of any distances or elements that captivate the imagination.

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…

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…

Mass media websites
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. The future does not belong to large platforms but to small, strong ones that stay true to providing the best quality information—not prioritizing money.

Cold neutrality
Whenever possible, I choose neutrality over negativity. Hatred robs of control, negativity slowly erodes mind. Life will bring battles and that’s normal, but they are best faced with a cold, steady mind. In neutrality, one finds the strength to endure and act without being consumed.

Best version of youself
Relax and look inside yourself for the best version of who you are, ask what that version would do. In any situation. Extrapolate this technique to whatever movements or ideas flowing through your journey—not to achieve godlike perfection, but at least to try and truly see, to really move forward. It is the highest form…

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…

Hands of a fool
Freedom only in the hands of a fool becomes something bad. As anything else, tho: power, resources, anything.

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,…

”Influencers”
All this breed of bloggers and influencers—this whole rabble—is a very harmful phenomenon. They think they are free and especially admirable for their supposed independence from TV, but in reality they are even worse, because they depend heavily on the crowd and on algorithms, which only brings even more turmoil into our society, they are…

Intuition
Intuition is, first and foremost, a feeling. It isn’t a mood or a whim, but a mind-sense—caught by opening inward, the way a faint scent is noticed before it’s named. Phenomenologically, it arrives pre-conceptually: a pressure toward “this is so” before reasons assemble. Epistemically, it is compressed knowledge—patterns distilled by memory, embodiment, and attention—unfolded later…

Cut Luck; Don’t Trust the Crowd
The opinions of foolish people shouldn’t worry an intelligent person. It’s like a seeing person relying on the advices of the blind. Big amount of people are blind in mind—mostly because they’re busy chasing money or pleasures. And usually they’re led by other big blind men whom luck tossed to the top; then they run…

Commercialism in art
I don’t like commercial ideas in art—all that hustle. Sell sell sell. Such elements destroy the essential spirit of art. It looks empty if freedom and independence are taken away, causing low-quality products and internal rot as a result. It’s not great or cool. Like, if you really need money, go make money. Why try…

Please: Stay flexible and critical—toward yourself and toward the world around you
“Nevertheless, the ancient Greeks already knew that logical thinking is a structured process, to some extent governed by certain laws. These laws can be described. Aristotle systematized syllogisms, and Euclid—geometry; however, many centuries passed before an era of progress in the study of logical thinking arrived again.” Analyzing history, I cannot help but feel my…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
