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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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.…

The genesis of an idea
Ideas are born as abstract neural static, a chaotic substrate of the mind. They are then forged into meaning through the crucible of reason and the hammer of lived experience.

Risks and virtues of democracy
The risks of democracy are stark—decaying into oligarchy or idiocracy. But its virtues are essential for our flawed humanity: the flexibility to evolve and the symmetry of shared power. It’s a system built to mirror our unpredictable nature, providing a constant arena for necessary change.

Understand these before it’s too late
Time is your most valuable resource. People often trade time for money, status, or approval — only to later realize they can’t buy back lost years, missed moments, or neglected relationships. Health is everything. Ignoring physical or mental health in your 20s and 30s can catch up brutally in your 40s and beyond. You don’t…

The Hidden Side
Everything has two sides. Take progress, for example. When we move faster, we often leave behind more mess—pollution is the hidden cost of growth. Is the speed worth the mess we create? Look at the information boom today. We’ve got more knowledge than ever, but it comes with confusion and constant changes in how we live…

Illusions of morality
Destroying can be just as fun as creating. Morality doesn’t exist in nature—people simply do what’s convenient and beneficial for them. The concept of usefulness is shaky; horrors and spontaneous fortunes alike occur without reason. Every moral concept is an aspiration toward efficiency and order; that’s its justification, and why it endures. I wouldn’t be…

Artificial Intelligence and humanity
With a large amount of information, something reasonable will emerge from it sooner or later. The Internet is the substrate for the development of artificial intelligence; it is just a stage. The Internet may disappear; it will change. The appearance of AI seems natural—not a sudden, brilliant invention. Vast amounts of information are randomly assembled…

Lightness
One of the main principles in art and creation in general is lightness. The best works and results are made—and felt—with ease and effortlessness. If you’re creating and it feels very heavy, like a struggle, something’s off. Recheck your meanings and path then. Only the one who walks lightly will go far.

Sharpening of perception
What is most important and valuable in art— it’s the sharpening of perception (including the Inner Eye), i.e the shaping experience.

Keep Crafting Until the Magic Appears
I never know when I’ll hit on a big track, so I make them as often as I can. You never know when your top work will arrive—keep creating constantly and critique every idea to boost your chances. Some of my biggest hits came from random, spontaneous sessions. Work as much as possible, but let…
