• Problems of capitalism, public structures and money

    In the jungles of modern world’s capitalism, in a huge big company… they’re not aiming to make just a good product.

    They’re just trying to make a product that will sell well.

    Values there don’t aim a healthy, beautiful, prosperous society, but only to fill their own pocket with money, no matter if letting other people die.

    That’s completely wrong because we are all connected, we are all fruits of the same tree – the tree of life, we share the same home – the earth, we share the same roof – the sky.

    Value, quality, perspective? All these things are unimportant in the mainstream of capitalism today – just to sell, just to promote, just to hold on to their position.

    We live in times of anti-humanism. Money and greed have conquered ordinary people. The sudden ultra-globalization of markets and sharp information revolution has only increased the masses of fools.

    Systems and organization of resource and energy fluxes corresponds to the volume and geometric structuring of the environment – that is, what is the composition of the flow of people and their labor, its complexity and depth, so their self-organization and regulation of efficiency.

    Today’s model is inefficient… our world is in crisis. With globalization and ultra-productivization, the money-market model of generations before yesterdays – of capital accumulation and distribution – is becoming increasingly irrelevant. As if feudalism were today. Actually what we see, by the way – the profound absurdity, the inappropriateness to progress and the common good of techno-feudalism of overgrown bureaucratic based, authority biased corporations and states.

    All these systems work well on a small scale, adaptation is needed when outgrowing them. Laws, society, companies, money…

    The next systems to be decentralization, universal basic income, and the rejection of money as the main stimulant of production.

  • Balancing aesthetic: the base prevails

    Aesthetically, even if one likes the colorful (for example, in clothes), it is normal and acceptable, and sometimes it might even be good, but one must remember to balance it with the “base” – the garnish – “rice”, “bread”, that is – the simple.

    Aesthetically, but also ideologically. Balancing it with simplicity.

    Black, white, gray, beige, blue…

    In music, by the way, rhythm plays an interesting balancing role in this context

  • Fool-proof protection in economy?

    Democracy is a protection from too much power taken by a fool. Politically…

    But what is our moron-protection economically, socially? What defense is there against evil oversized corporations and their dumb managers? After all, random still rules the human staircase, and not the best people come to huge money and resources economically, but most often – on the contrary. They destroy the market and quality of life, even on democratic platforms…

    At the basic level – deliberate consumption, boycott and refusal in favor of small alternatives and free and neutralized systems. In general, it is good when people are intelligent and reject corporations and bad companies. But often the market is brutally monopolized, everyone and everything is bought up, and it becomes more difficult.

    Absolute freedom – this idea sounds beautiful, but it is beautiful for beautiful people and an ideal, absolute world. Our world is full of fools, and what is even more realistic – of the highest complexity and confusion, so there is no place without regulations. In fact, regulation begins even with a quality personality – personal self-management and below.

    There should not be super rich and mega corporations, it is a bad sign – a tumor. And among other things, such structures are extremely complicated and inefficient, both at the level of economy and politics, by the way. Decentralization, redistribution. Best people don’t need countless tons of money, they will distribute the energy into an efficient system of universal humanity usefulness.

  • mittnetworkmusic: new Iksnx, other details

    New Iksnx album has been released.

    In December 2023, when I was working on jazz albums and beats, among other things and I happened to have an interesting sketch, I added acid riffs to the downtempo groove… and then it was decided to make an album like this.

    The main material was prepared in December and January, but I had to finish some more tracks in March and April to complete the 60 minutes timeline because it’s an audio cassette album. The current digital release is also a copy from a cassette – I sometimes use magnetic tape for the final releases, it adds style’s important vibrancy, nuance and groove. Still you’ll be able to find pure digital hi-fi version in logicandsound’s store after June 2024 or so. As about artwork, I did the cover in a couple of days using various Linux graphics glitches, that green man was drawn by my closest friend a year ago.

    This album has a brother – another Iksnx/yoijerg but with instrumental jazz beats style, without electric instruments… both these albums were born in the same period, but I will release the second one much later, maybe in a couple of months… right now I have the new spacey ambient intelligent 1300p and complex opmay in the pipeline.

  • Just the human thing

    What is a country – it is not land, resources, borders, ideas of history… it is about people, their society, community, the organization and structure.

    Don’t take complex illusions about any big fiction ideas of historicism, a country is just a current state of communities, it’s a human thing.

  • Regulate AI asap

    The main problem with AI is not the technology itself but the fools who use it for all sorts of bad purposes.

    So called artificial intelligence (content generators) requires regulation and legislation as soon as possible today, it is a very dangerous technology and the first danger is the people themselves – there are too many fools among us so it is likely that the majority will drown in their own crap of spam, nonsense, and tastelessness, propaganda and lies generated by the tech.

    While the real talents, the wise men and creators may lose their already few chances to reach the crowd, lose their already minimal share of attention to keep the balance fresh.

    Disinformation and spam, intoxication of the flow of information, the primary signs of disease.

    With today’s weak stack of by-money-corrupted values and morals of the early digital era of hyper capitalism and globalization where most people survive and eat each other, a middleman has a very weak notion of decency, duty, quality, honour, he literally will easily sign a bill to your death or to his own degradation for the sake of money or his career or that pseudo “stability”, without a doubt. With artificial intelligence, they are going to contaminate everything and choke themselves even faster than before. Already today search engines are full of false empty information generated by the bots, all big sites are full of spam and bots and cheap low-quality content.

    An epidemic of spam and misinformation…

    What good has content generators (“AI”) done so far besides spam and misinformation? This technology is potentially useful – but for the smart, for the trained and talented people. But it can be dangerous for the masses, dangerous for the idiots, for the evil (remember – evil is blatant ignorance) – we’ve got so many of them in our world. This technology needs to be discreetly shielded by laws and regulations.

    Because most people are greedy morons… it’s getting harder and harder to navigate the information space. But information is everything.

    To survive in this world you need to train your senses, your intuition for information, your bullshit filter. Build real connections.

    The world is getting more and more complicated.

    And don’t forget that today, in the era of the monster corporations, tightly blocked by monopolists and AI internet, independent creators need support and cohesion especially urgently today.

  • Day by day

    Think of every day as a special day.

    Think about it first thing in the morning.

    Plan it out.

    Think of every day as your last.

    Never hurry. Death and fortune are not worth it.

    Know how to rest… know how to rest well – the best rest is to do nothing at all, to be at peace, lying or sitting, or even walking or cycling, it doesn’t matter, what matters is the emptiness of doing nothing, rest of the brain itself – to contemplate thoughts or the world, to regain strength and will.

  • Assorted Musings

    Life is not a random phenomenon or magic. It is just the very essence of complication and selection of (chemical and physical) dynamic processes, any chemical reaction develops complication and selection among others (the most efficient processes get more space and energy, gradually the process of organization of reactions takes place).
    Far more questionable in this context is the universe itself and its programs of formation, probability and selectivity.

    Philosophy is the art of rational assumption.” …by flashlight of the reason to find and illuminate, to understand – where to go and how.


    A religious person is first and foremost a superstitious person. (8)


    The death of the arts and crafts with the advent of powerful artificial intelligence? Yes and no. Above all, it is the evolution of the decorative; AI is wider, not deeper. Something will go away, certainly, especially basic mind labor. Real pure art, on the other hand, is inseparable from man. It is the sense of man, his feeling, his connection – not of machines.


    Molecular theory of music – melodies are like looped molecules, like an odor or a scent.


    Values… what values does the art of music evoke when I try to make new music, is that value real? Or just an exploration of the new, i.e., an act of learning?


    I can be wrong. I can be wrong and that’s okay and I’m not afraid of that, the important thing is to realize the conclusions and move on. We can all be wrong and that’s totally okay. Absolutely eliminate all fear and defense of your own mistakes which makes it even worse usually. I can make mistakes and step back to start again. It’s a good, normal process. It’s much worse when you bury your mistakes, hide them, layer them, therefore multiply them.


    Finding, formulating, and posing a problem is more important than closing it, especially in arts discourse. Most problems are stretched over time. Entropy… as long as you live, you learn and solve problems. It’s a game.

  • Habits, simplicity

    Habits and understanding of their mechanics, mechanisms of routines, flows and time-stretching processes is one the most important thing of all regarding quality of our life, happiness, balance and productivity. You can manage yourself to 95% anything

    You can accustom or wean yourself to anything with a series of attempts – if you have the intention (the intention is formed by values).

    Our brain itself, despite all its flaws, is very good and flexible, but we need to construct a desire – aka will, motivation and awareness of values, of quality.

    All sorts of grooves-tracks (for flow) in the brain are formed by life… habits. You can change them. The main thing is to believe, to be patient… Habits can always be corrected. The main thing is to remember that it’s real and possible – that the brain is flexible and you really can change almost anything about it.

    Using such strategies and understanding, I managed to successfully quit many things: smoking, drugs, toxic people, sugar, social media and mass media internet; and vice versa – to habituate myself to the important – for example, establishing the daily flow of work (hitch – hang the habit on certain “unskippable” parts of the day, for example, do work after breakfast, or after lunch, or before bed), or to do daily sport (just choose sport you love…) and eat healthy food: abruptly forbid sugars and any ultra processed “super-market” products, leave for example honey and vegetables, fruits, raw cereals, enjoy it (it’s actually good, after all), try to come up with interesting dishes out of them, then you get used to it – and that’s it, done. I also gave up brands and expensive things, in clothes and equipment I use simple and basic, and a little – but reliable and high quality. If tech, avoid corporations, over-complexity, get used to open source, it’s stable it’s reliable. I always strive for simplicity and clarity, anti-fragility.

    You can do it. If not the first time, but the second, tenth time. Yes, many attempts, but hard focus on the quality, on perspective.

  • Pareto Principle, 80/20, entropy, quality

    As in a society where there are few intelligent hardworking people and many lazy fools, so in the world as a whole, for example, even in countries – there are few good, free and efficient systems, but a lot of poisonous tyranny and lawlessness, degradation, foulness. [Not only today’s crap evil circle of Russia, China, Iran, but also almost 80% of world: most of Arab and African, most of South American and Asian countries, actually the real democracy is not something easy and “natural”, it’s an expensive and a golden balance thing, even today’s few free countries tend to degradation at some level like the USA of today or that sleepy over-comfortable weak Europe).

    With software, games, music, food, everywhere and everything of people’s being… Is it true that there is a law that 80 percent of everything is crap, and only 20 or even less is good?

    Sometimes I’m under an impression that it’s temporary, that we’ll all become smart and noble or that progress will happen everywhere someday… But what if it’s just an illusion of the mind’s’ “self-positivity heal”, and always and everywhere, all through life, all centuries, 20 will pull 80?

    A little dialectical method for clarification. Let’s look aside, for example, at the structural distribution of the general whole species diversity, say, insects – can we say that 80 percent of insects are bad? No. In nature, due to various circumstances, some species die off, but since the system of life as a whole is decentralized and balanced cleverly, every species did not come from nowhere. But the other issue is that it took a lot of time and testing-fitting for each kind. Vast time-space amounts comes to balance such systems, we barely feel that short terms’ 80/20 filtrating.

    Is 80/20 applicable to human only, and in the stages of becoming? After all, the human is a stage of becoming, it is not something ready-made, it is a bridge.

    Man is a bridge to the superhuman of the future, to robots and super-computer-machines, ultra-matter cyborgs… we are just like microbes from the distant past, preparing the environment for future super beings.

    80/20 is relevant to short range outcomes of highly complex and complicated systems – fast and sharp at the breaking point. The high complexity and intricacy of our current system of all things “human”, are two consequential effects – rapid, chaotic progress, and a large amount of influx of bad stuff cut off in the process.

  • Cognition and experience

    They say that the purest knowledge is empirical, that is, based on direct experience. But experience can be deceitful, e.g. optical illusions or logical experiments of dual interpretation. After all, understanding is the primary of the mind and of it’s director: the reason.

    A simple experiment: imagine the smartest man, the best mind system in the universe. That man needs to live and cogitate a little and then he’ll understand it all, a whole system will form in his head. It will be reflected, organized, prepared, and then be visible. But still the man needs at least a minimum of time to gain an experience of the actual and the reality in which the mind finds itself in order to reflect and formulate the cognition.

    Reason and the power of intellect, packed in a well organized mind are the key crucial forms of knowledge. Logic, mathematics… But experience is still the highest, most important, practical way. Actually, cognition is a competent qualitative connection, refinement and reforming an experience into human knowledge.

  • Culture, information, entertainment, style

    Don’t underestimate highest importance of culture and entertainment, as it is said – “bread and circuses”, 50/50, but actually it’s about 30/70 bread/circuses. Not for nothing even monkeys have a lot of leisure – in the world and in nature in general it is not common to work yourself to zero, leisure is immanent and necessary to every creature.

    Man is defined by the information he surrounds himself with and the information that surrounds him.

    Professional sports – they create information food, we can’t see it but it is a tangible reality – pieces of information in space. People literally eat information… It’s true that there are different kinds of information diets.

    Why do movie celebrities get huge sums of money and ordinary actors get small sums of money? In the essence they might be similar… The answer is simple – recognizability, to attract attention to information. In information flows people cling to familiar faces, familiar objects, as if orienting themselves in space, as a kind of guarantor of certainty, not to lose time. But, sometimes even familiar objects get bored, reduce their reputation, quality, style.

    Style is the deepest basis of any essence. If there is a best – it is very stylish. The best is all on style. Style is not just the decoration, the design of an entity, its the conceptual core… not for nothing deep in the very rudiments of its history mankind has already decorated and created information.

    The best style and the highest wisdom is simplicity, clarity. Not the simplicity of the primitive, unimaginative, undeveloped, or the simplicity of a fool; but a profound simplicity, when the whole essence has been understood and all the stages have been passed through. The best filtered through.
