End
‘How can this be? Universal harmony, life, the wonders of music? Still everything to die?..’ So what? In the end, you will die, and so will the universe. ‘But… is there any salvation?..’ Yes, there is. It lies in exploring the world, for instance, understanding dark energy; doing meaningful deeds, creating values that inspire, doing…

Positive Mindset
In life… I try not to stuff my head with things like ‘must’, ‘absolutely, obliged, do it’… such things don’t work well. It’s better to think ‘this is interesting’, ‘this could be nice’, ‘anyway, I’ll have to do something during my day; after all, infinite pleasure can be a disaster”

Thoughts on quality
Quality… it necessarily comes with experience, without good experience behind there is no good quality in front. Top quality is something that has been learned and touched many times, and it’s also always honest – honest here means quality for quality’s sake.

The Mirage of Variety
There exists something known as the mirage of variety, where a person strives to obtain everything – tasting all the dishes, pursuing all romantic interests, visiting all countries, listening to every track, acquiring all the movies, and so on. To begin with, for real – it becomes boring quickly, one can’t experience everything, it’s same…

Oldschool
It’s okay to look back and take the best ideas as prototypes for the new. This concept embodies the Renaissance, an infinite eternal return, and self-sustenance – reliable and proven mechanisms of evolution. We can observe these principles in culture, in mother nature, and in our state of being. I’m primarily referring to culture, but…

Don’t believe anyone on the internet today; do not let your emotions take over the reason. Always double-check facts and sources. There is so much misinformation everywhere these days. In this modern internet-driven world, we face the dark age of information overload, resource mismanagement, supersaturated ignorance, and greed. Why is this happening? It’s simple: we…

Edges
There must be an edge… otherwise it’s difficult to catch on to the essence (ideas, products, everything) Limitations are an amplifier of creative power, not only on the part of the creator but also on the part of the consumer. Always be aware of the limits and edges everywhere.

Cultural Code Determines Ways of Life
Just as DNA directs the essence of an object’s physical development, the cultural code with which an individual is programmed determines their destiny or the destiny of a whole group. A barbaric cultural code leads to decay and suffering. The brain can reprogram itself with other, better codes; a clean ‘freedom’ environment helps reprogram bad…

Contemporary jazz
Jazz can be not only vintage and classic (78rpm.archive.org collection, for example) but also purely modern (a radio stream link to check). Not jazzy beats, not barely listenable avant-garde, – real jazz as we used to get it, but modern. The first thing that comes to mind is a straight beat there, more solid, bright…

Creators, Be Aware
Artist, painter, musician… Your job is not only to create but also to suffer, to gain a perspective from all angles of existence, to tell the truths of life. A glamorous creator evokes a feeling of deep repugnance… as much as any money-grubbing idiot does; what can they truly tell the world, what benefits can…

99c
Such activity as music does not necessarily mean the scope of market needs, often it is just a hobby, “a talk with god”, but it happens that people manipulate it to gain sales. Anyway, the market is just a representation of people’s needs. The monetary system as we have it today is evil and very…

Impermanence
Be ready to lose everything. Nothing physical truly belongs to us; it’s all just temporary rent. Only your mind and your time are yours

Oversaturation
A new phenomenon of the “post-Internet” era – hypertrophied mass consciousness, mass psychosis, deliberately fueled hysteria

Dark ages
Politics today is a middlemen’s zone, smart goes to art or science, mid-range minds go to politics mostly; typically – activists, cops, money-makers… you will rarely meet genius people there, but usually just some lucky mediocre. Don’t mind exceptions, of course. Sure that’s got reasons behind it, today’s politics seems to be a dull field…

Сriticism tone
People who throw dirt criticism on everything are usually self-affirming… but it’s a bad tone, an unfaithful approach. Be beautiful and accurate, discuss/criticize carefully, clearly expressing understanding and openness to the other sides that may be unknown or misunderstood to you. Anything else, don’t blindly pour buckets of criticism, but try to understand the essence…

If I am tired
If I’m tired – I go for sleep or quality books, maybe a good wise blog or music, or a quiet walk, or a lunch of simple natural foods like vegetables and cereals, these are the things that really help. Especially sleep and rest, just lying down and doing nothing, – such a rest provides…

There is no justice by default, don’t wait for it, fight for the better today
There is no justice in the world and don’t try to wait for it, sometimes the worst scumbags get everything and the best people suffer, be prepared for the worst, be ready for the fight to get that justice by yourself, nature is not giving it as a served dish by default. And by the…

Do I really need to know that?
Some knowledge, while factually correct, is essentially useless. For example, do I really need to know all that wide range of small political facts? Some information is not needed. Of course it’s good to know everything, but what about the capacity of the receiver? Our memory and emotional battery ain’t infinitely elastic. That’s why I…
