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.
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.
The role of the state should be minimal; a decentralized system of local self-governance is better than a huge centralized bureaucratic machine. The world or a country doesn’t need a ruler because it’s not a mechanism that requires management but a complex system that should govern itself. In the same context, freedom is necessary – the freedom of nobility, not obscurantism, of course.
Therefore, all dictators end up badly, and large cumbersome systems have weak prospects. It could be leadership, decision points, or consolidation, but a system of higher complexity than a simple tool shouldn’t require a boss to move.
Someone might say, “What about the body, where there’s a boss managing it – the mind?” Not entirely correct… the mind is you, the unit of knowledge and perception, but you don’t control liver cells and others; they work on their own.
You are part of society.
The total noise pollution of the information space is a significant problem of the modern era, and it is increasing… and even more with the new influx of pseudo-artificial intelligence.
The environment is polluted by people are either foolish and tasteless, or weak and greedy, perverted, they literally defecating everything around – the internet, concepts, ideas, politics, and philosophy. Influenced by false ideals of the post-capitalist era, they have the wrong beacon, they’ve got the wrong path. Without proper guidance, and now with the added influx, it’s just mega trash everywhere, spam, and low quality.
Detecting real signals in the midst of all this noise is one of today’s challenges, and transmitting signals becomes even more difficult. These are tasks for the new generation, navigating through these digital dumps.
All of this stems from the pursuit of money, fame, and other false values. The focus should be on striving for the quality of products, our society, connections.
It is crucial to comprehend that a genuine, critical, sharp, and high-quality focused philosophy of life is essentially required today. Philosophy of life – a proper mix on the edges of the best science and art, morals and aesthetics. Real leaders are needed for that. The world today is mostly ruled by grey, fragile-maker clerks; that’s one of the issues.
The most appropriate reaction to 80+ percent of life situations is calmness and/or indifference, especially on complex levels.
There are emotions that are right, strong, necessary, high-quality – like energy properly filtered by reason. But there are cheap, unrefined emotions that cause a lot of problems. Especially avoid actions caused by resentment.
One of my life principles is “never to attack first”… however, if someone attacks me, I will fight to the end. I have no fear of death, that’s the true power a real philosophy can give you. However regarding a fight, if it’s a homeless crazy random idiot, most probably I would just ignore. Context is the king.
It doesn’t matter what uninformed average person thinks, and here’s a quick thought experiment – I’m going to come to him with my [most famous burgers franchise] burger (assuming he doesn’t familiar with [most famous world burgers franchise]) and he’s obviously more likely to humiliate me like it’s crap food. And don’t forget that we’re not talking about smart sophisticated and honest people, but about the average average consumerist “John”.
The key is that he eats same in a well-advertised network and is satisfied, but from an unknown person, if he received the same thing, he would insult and make an expert out of himself.
The relations and dialectics here matters the most.
It’s all the same with music and philosophy, and with clothing brands, websites, anything.
Conclusion… in the context of striving for quality, it does not matter what the crowd or philistines think, do the best with all your might, try ruthlessly and heartily, and let it be, whatever happens. Look for your people, for best people, don’t care about the ignorant.
“In the 1930s, Brecht shocked the guests of a New York party by declaring of the accused at the Moscow show trials: “The more innocent they are, the more they deserve to be shot “6. This statement should be taken quite seriously, not as some kind of perverse impertinence; its basic premise is that in a particular historical struggle, the position of “innocence” (“I don’t want to get my hands dirty by participating in this struggle, I just want to lead a modest and honest life”) embodies the highest culpability. In our world, doing nothing is not empty; it already has meaning-it means saying yes to existing power relations.”
…”repressive regimes have never “lost” in a frontal confrontation – at a certain point, when the “old mole” completes its work of internal ideological disintegration, which is not visible on the surface, they simply collapse.” – S.Žižek
It’s always better to doubt and ask questions. We are quite limited creatures to really know all the reasons, and our mind often creates a lot of illusions for us too. So it’s just safer to have a critical mind, a factor of survival.
I used to think it was a little dangerous to recommend something like this – because so-called conspiracy theorists “doubt” too much: that the earth is flat, that billionaires chip people, worldwide conspiracies, the illusion of viruses, and so on.
But they don’t doubt and ask questions, in fact they have another problem with them – they are silly misinformed and actually believe in nonsense instead of asking real questions and doubting. So it turns out exactly the opposite.
