Basic Dialectics: Answering Yes or No Until the End
Thesis: In the construction of a judgment, it is important to verify and open its contrary side. False judgments are unnecessary. A Thesis: Modern pop era artists, who are massively over-applauded and actively entertain crowds, are akin to digested gruel or prepared baby food. They provide information for the weak, representing the wrong approach to…

‘Techno-Feudalism’
Such a view might sound logically correct, addressing why the next stage involves all that discussion about free software. Recently, I wrote about the concepts of free code in contrast to the market. I perceive the situation of techno-feudalism as a dead-end, disproportionately influenced by initial setup of digital world. However, I think it will…

Balance of elements, outer space
I regret that I did not do proper audio mixing on some of my albums around the 2017-2019 era. Despite having good Yamaha monitors back then, I often lacked the knowledge and practice needed to carefully ensure that all elements in a track sounded balanced on speakers first, especially around the bass drum, middle rim,…

Emotional Thinking
Why do people support charismatic but misguided leaders today? Why is there a rise in populism in politics? The post-modern era has led most people to think and choose based on emotions, not rationality, similar to advertising techniques that focus on stimulation rather than conscious thought. This leads to various problems. Emotional thinking isn’t inherently…

Open source and proprietary software: when is each appropriate and a little about the excess of money
On one hand, open source is always better; you know what the program is doing and can improve it… But on the other hand, developers need to earn a living. Indeed, it’s ridiculous to work for free, as one can easily die of hunger, and motivation… Programming can bring pleasure in itself, but it’s certainly…

Thoughts on Justice, Luck, the Meaning of Life, and System Efficiency
Fact: The primary and irreducible source of mutations, including both cancerous and genius ones, is the natural process of cellular division. Genetic mutations involve randomness by their very nature. Therefore, by the way, among other things, one cannot judge people by their origin… a genetic mutation makes everyone different. No matter what family or homeland…

Neural Knots
Psychological dead ends such as addictions or narcissism/resentment and the like can arise when a person’s neurons literally clump and knot together, hindering the flow of essence, resulting in an imbalance including biochemistry. The solution is quite straightforward: one needs to deliberate deeply, requiring a calm environment to thoughtfully confront the truth without fear… and…

Consciousness: Diversity, Quality, Pleasure
What might the following words signify, or more precisely, what do they represent in our consciousness: diversity, quality, pleasure? These three terms denote characteristics of flow, emerging from the fundamental toolkit of the mind – that is, our conceptual foundation, similar to concepts like number or word. We derive these concepts from experience (flow), followed…

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…

My Tools
For making music, I use Korg Triton workstation, Sennheiser HD-280 headphones, Samson monitors, and Pioneer CT-F650 deck – for audio cassettes/Lo-Fi… It’s quite a basic setup, to be honest. I also have “Roedy Black’s” posters near my place – help a lot, by the way!

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, because without good experience behind there is no good quality in front. Good 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.
