It’s an illusion: “the more you get the more you get”; how about the processing itself? The best things are elegant and simple, well made, not always shallow or stingy – can be voluminous, large, but always stylish and nice, having their own essence, the depth.

Humanity’s two biggest, fatal misconceptions so far are:
1. Fear of death
(In truth, dying is easy, and death helps us live better, without fearing mistakes, especially when we’ve lived honestly and without greed)
2. Greed
(What’s the point of consuming so much? You’ll die anyway… and don’t forget that we’re just fruits on the tree, not the essence itself. In the vast universe, there’s an abundance of energy, enough molecules for everyone; better re-concentrate greedy energy on simplicity and true universal usefulness and wisdom)
Don’t use anything from Apple; they sell poor-quality stuff and do bad things. They hide their closed system greedy proprietary code in a fancy wrapper, not to help you or make the world better, but just to get money, no ethics; without thinking about our perspective as a human species – a common value.
They don’t care about real privacy and rights, openness, virtue, humanity future prospects, or doing what they should as a good service provider – all that means nothing to them. They trick people with lies and false hype, pretending to be good while actually being very bad: taking monopoly control of markets and making closed systems that are not good, playing hidden games with dictatorships and (digital) slavery, forcing wrong directions for tech in general. In short, they’re a problem.
Intelligent people avoid any products from companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Samsung, and similar Big Tech; allowing partial touch only in extreme cases like counter-fighting-against-them cases. These companies are like greedy monsters, cannibals, too big and messed up, with the wrong ideas and values. Capitalism (at huge scales) itself is a trouble already. Be free from those chains – use and learn open source (and open hardware) systems, boycott and protest against big corporations, say no to techno-feudalism and cyber-slavery.
Moving “In Reverse” is weakly effective, I’m talking about prohibitions, restrictions and such. It’s better to substitute with the superior, don’t restrict bad but replace it with good, give ways.
Avoid drowning in the daily stream of social networks and news. Today’s mass media and most journanists or celebrities’ approach of kill-but-get-profit-or-promotion is a headache.
A once a week or so run through the main signal sources is enough. Analyze seriousl, fearlessly, openly.
Less is better. Real information, no buzz.
Know what is signal and what is noise; distinguish the beneficiaries of intervention from the essential, the real from the copying, the profit-seekers from the truth-tellers.
You can be right, or you can have a peace

It’s okay to lose sometimes and all that. Making mistakes is also normal. I’ve seen many people “marry their beliefs” and stubbornly stick to their foolishness until the end…
I admit that I may be wrong, hence I don’t lose focus of the truth.
Music is subjective. What you may like, others may not. There is simply no bad music except that which is made without inspiration (for commercial gain or the pseudo-values of celebrity vanity) or without professionalism and a focus on high quality (even amateur creations are better when crafted with real originality, balanced mixes, and good quality instruments)
I do not respect the heated streams of criticism from people who shout at others, claiming that they “do not understand true taste” and the like, allowing themselves to use rude and violating words. It’s all inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Let it be… Art is subjective. Let everyone have their own taste in art, as long as it’s honest and doesn’t harm others. Diversity is beautiful; we are all complex.
The span of modern and contemporary for me is a period of 30 years or so, the beginning of a new era of the internet at least – if not of electronics in general… not the last five or three years. I prefer to see that wider. If you focus on the last or very recent 3-5 years, you can fall into the trap of false hypes and artificially imposed ideals, to take the breadth of modernity a little deeper gives you a filter and more detailed sense of trends and what’s going on.
With some exceptions, the groove is good only around living things (music, art, decor?), but, for example, in machines like a fan – on the metal grid, or other technical equipment (this light “wrongness,” “nonlinearity,” Dionysian touch) will feel kinda ridiculous. Why do we like that entropy effect in aesthetics? It’s natural, open, complex, like the life itself.
Just take it as it is – information must be free… then work around that reality to adapt.
In a week or two I’m going to publish my whole discography (202+ albums) for free download here, a special announce to be published then.
The horizon of events in the world… It’s as if we can’t see, as if we were moving on a ball, we can’t clearly see what will be and what was behind… All blue and obscurity.
As it is, so it is. Do what you have to do and let it be, сome what may.
Full acceptance is easier if you live honestly. Ready to accept anything.
In any case it’s okay, you’ll die anyway, don’t have to be afraid of death, it’s the essence of life… and even if something goes very wrong, you can turn off the console yourself. No fears, truth & quality focused, seeing the horizon opening, ready to die any moment.
Not only WWII germans were national fascists, but potentially any society can become.
It is necessary to understand that it’s not about Germans being fascists or Italians (the originators) or Russians, because it’s just the way they are or their culture. Any society can become like that; it’s in human nature as of today (unfortunately), to obey to whoever they have got, and to shift responsibility; espesially for the average ordinary person, I mean (but under pressure, almost everyone…).
Potentially, any group can become like this under certain circumstances. Many scientific experiments show that is real. This is a vulnerability of today’s world and a very significant one.
What to do about it… Firstly, this problem affects only large organizations – reorganization into small groups is one solution. Secondly, continuous and straightforward cultivation of a culture of fearless (espesially anti-fear to lose things or body [=death]) and critical thinking (asking questions and seeking truth); and, literally the right not to follow orders (as is already the case in the German army) but to act based on understanding and real reasoning, humanity focused. Of course, this is not all, just briefly touching on this topic…
The concept of authority and obey/submission in social structures, its efficiency, benefits, and harms, is a complex and multifaceted question. But it’s important not to forget today that the world we are accustomed to seeing is only a glimpse of the era’s horizon; its roots and consequences go deeper.
Is randomness the same as unpredictability? No, randomness is an inherent mechanism of redistribution within the essence of the universe, while unpredictability is our natural ability to perceive it. Unpredictability may not even be related to randomness if the experiencing subject possesses the necessary information.
