  • Information tends to spread freely

    Information tends to spread freely like steam or gas in space, so trying to limit it (like selling air) has no perspective and generally useless. Jobs like scientists, artists, journalists, etc, better to be openly funded by society rather than hardly pushing them for getting income like we see in this weak and fragile model of post-capitalism “money-hunting” era. 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

    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.

  • Blind obeying and shifting responsibility

    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?

    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.

  • How I stopped harmful habits and improved my life

    In the past I have successfully quit smoking, sugar, toxic people and the toxic internet. If I see that something is doing me more harm than good in my life, I will diligently try to quit it or fix the situation, simply because I don’t want to suffer because of trivial things, aiming at a quality life – what other way is there?

    It’s better to stop abruptly, as soon as you are mentally prepared, if only a little, and feel that it’s time. If the object of dependence or harm allows it, it’s better to cut it off completely, along with everything associated with it – substances or toxic environments, for example. It’s better to act abruptly and endure, because everything will surely improve in the near future (it’s important to remember this).

    If the situation is more complex, such as with food, compromises can help – gradually allow a little, for example, instead of overeating and sweets, set a strict limit – eat at home only what you bought once a week, have a bit of dark chocolate after meals instead of dessert. If you are addicted to bread, make pasta with vegetables or prepare cereals with fruits & chocolate or honey, change the food related to the bread habit, it’s possible to move around such workaround easily.

    My approach to the internet has been: break the habit of picking up the phone and/or opening the internet; when I’m tired I go to sleep or read a book, ride a bicycle/sport, etc: things that make me feel good and invest in my health; popular internet today is toxic and noisy; open it but only situation by situation. Only a few trustworthy quality sources and only one relative short session a day.

    In general, it’s best to work with the essence, real goals and connections rather than numbers or ideals; and all should be in positive, good mood way, and don’t be evil and overload the mind with quantities, and complicated rules, just focus on what is really important: the wish for better. Be gentle, and allow small slips when it comes to life’s things like food or the internet, but if it’s something nasty like substances or assholes, cut it off firmly. Understanding the mechanism of habit in the mind is key. You can get used to anything after a month if you are patient and make compromises. Always do the positive things that really help, such as eating healthy, sleeping much, doing sport and doing good deeds, focus on quality.

  • Autonomous

    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.

  • Extrapolation of noise, disruptive information pollution

    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 importance of your workplace

    Do not underestimate the importance of your workplace, it is necessary to organize it as thoughtfully as possible.

    If you feel it’s important, be honest with yourself and secure a private space (if funds are not in excess – better to rent a space not in the fanciest neighbourhood, but with a separate office). Invest in a comfortable chair or take the time to erase MacOS iOS Google and Windows, take care of your data and install and configure a proper Linux / Open Source system. In short, listen to your body and subconscious, be honest. Don’t hesitate to invest in this… it will pay off in efficiency. Our day consists of work, and that is absolutely natural – I say this as a person who is free and needs nothing. Even if I’d had billions, I’d still work daily. Work for us is like swimming for fish or flying for birds. The optimal structuring of work time is not an 8-hour continuous shift but rather sessions of about 2-3 hours with free-to-take breaks (even long ones).

  • The most appropriate reaction…

    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

    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 our world, doing nothing is not empty; it already has meaning”

    “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

  • Conspiracy theorists

    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.

  • Aesthetic fields, concept

    Whether subject wants to or not, it always functions and translates a code of aesthetic and ethic fields.

    Usually already charged with the energy of other fields. The energy finds, regenerates and transmit itself in the code.

    Fields have boundaries of intersections and audience-subjects of the field – for example, the stylistics of y2k, hairy hard metal, or an enthusiastic science-scientist with glasses.

    Not only the aesthetic code creates images, there is a close intertwining of the ethical and aesthetic fields…. and together they form a cultural environment. It is known that moral directives push to the subsequent formalization of the aesthetic code.

    Loose-formed-mindcore-will individuals tend to find themselves in preset-patterns of code, while the strong and anti-fragile mix codes and find new combinations.

  • Masterpieces through will and flow

    Masterpieces become a reality when the creator is completely merged with the instrument, without realizing it, and is entirely in the flow – that is when there is enough experience and will. For the best quality, first, pay attention to your workflow and work ethics, which should be based on habit and passion, not on a schedule or enforcement.
