Leisure
“High wages make leisure too expensive.” Leisure is needed but of a good quality; for example, without consumption or anything hard; you just give free space to mind to explore Freeform mind drifting is an essential part of a well trained understanding

Running and fussing
“You should not just be the best, you should also be the luckiest” Be able to accept what you have. You can’t control luck but you can ignore it and move by your own. Plans to be build upon the worst.

Filtered by time
Things from some age that you feel are still relevant, they are usually really better Everything new still has to pass the time test
-
Wars
Wars rarely end with an absolute winner. All sides usually lose far more than they gain. Post industrial “homo sapiens” were not supposed for that, it’s a big step backwards, only weak places of complicated social mistakes lead there, usually it’s just about poor managed authority. Resort to physical fight only as a last measure…

Growth needs mistakes
You can’t truly grow if you never (honestly) admit when you’re wrong and if you never genuinely accept the mistakes you make.

Advanced systems
An advanced system cannot be just modeled just like a plan, it can only evolve on its own through experiential understanding.

Honesty Leads to Goodness
Honesty is needed to achieve something truly good. Otherwise, how can you admit to yourself that you were wrong or made mistakes in order to grow? Improvement always involves growth. No matter how much something may dazzle you, if its essence is dishonest—prone to lying and self-deception—then its potential for good is low, and its…

Cultural code of gigantic nations
The cultural code of gigantic organizations tends to corrupt over time; a massive system gravitate to oppress people, loosing quality a lot. In a herd, you become lame. On a large scale, under weak minds, it’s unbalanced. Resistance can be costly for many. Crisis upon crisis; people to find truth among them.

Big data; mind processing
With all the new technologies—starting from electricity to advanced encoding techniques—we now have access to vast amounts of information. However, this information does not yet constitute knowledge (which is tested experience that can be repeated and valued for human or natural growth) nor feeling (a pathway to knowledge and meaningful experience, such as through art). To achieve these, all…

Artificial money
A custom passage from a random book I stumbled upon recently: ”The transition of power from locally organized production to global financial capital has been occurring for quite some time, but recent events have accelerated and intensified this phenomenon. Digitalization did not directly ensure globalization, but it certainly did not hinder it, and one of…
-
Scale
Alternative forms of societal organization, such as decentralized, small interconnected groups will emerge. Capitalism, a fuel for concentration of power, is temporary, will be reformed in future too. Normal people usually are just tired and going lazy crazy; The scale, that is the problem… anything overgrown concentrated can be bad, overgrown big bad to be…

Universal income
Universal income will appear most likely only when the number of unemployed will be really high, when all this automation and everything else will be everywhere. Tech challenges society, hard but for better.
-
Progress
Progress is not always straightforward, don’t blindly believe in anything new, neomania often leads to nothing but noise. Simple, stable, practical things win. Observe critically. Progress is resilience, not speed. Over time, only robust solutions will endure, as complexity fades away.

What Money Can’t Fix
I just randomly hit my elbow hard No money in the whole world would save me from this And from much more But the right wise view of the world could at least save my soul Life goes on…

effortlessness
Effortlessness is the key to good quality style. It’s not just about order and neatness, but also about feeling free and unburdened. Top quality always feels easy and simple. And it is, but remember the attempts, values, focus, and experience lying behind that. With that freedom of movement, you are getting up and through.

Priorities
A balanced, intelligent mind can handle almost any challenge effectively, but it needs time to adjust. A collaboration between such minds is even more beneficial. To allocate energy well, focus on intellectual and humanistic aspects, use these as a foundation to apply open-minded, critical thinking. Everything will turn out well then. End-road values like cults…

Joy in an essential thing
The key to success is to find an easy approach and enjoy the process. Restrictions and forcing only work for a limited time frame. How to read more books: If a book is too boring, take another one. Find something good in whatever you do, it’s a right to joy, otherwise no flow, no signal
-
Bitcoin
I like the idea of Bitcoin (banks and money are hell things) but it’s too idealistic for our current, still quite savage world stage. Someday, it’s likely to be compromised by quantum computers or just banned by governments. Now it’s clear we’re at the end of a 30-40+ year era of relative peace; after seeing…

Overcome
As human beings, the way we used to know ourselves is just a temporary state. There’s so much dirt and incompetency hidden inside most of us; the key to human nature is to overcome ourselves, to find and develop a better version. It all starts from newborns. You have to constantly learn and fight for…

Music is always a mood for something
Music is always a mood for something, a shared stated state of soul and mind. Whether it’s to energize, relax, embrace tradition, or even to delve into darkness, music is a product of will filled with emotions and ideas of somebody who has felt it as well.
