“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
Comments / Link: Conspiracy theoristsIt’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
Comments / Link: Aesthetic fields, conceptWhether 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.

Processing chemistry of brain, emptiness and consciousness, the scheme of its relations
Are the sensations of reality, including the “delivery of things as they are” created by the brain and its processing chemistry, or is it a direct connection? Is emptiness real and then what role does pure consciousness play in it? The world is material and exists independently of consciousness – no doubt here, that is a fundamental aspect of science as we used to know it. The human brain as the pinnacle of nature’s complexity reflects and processes the reality of matter through several levels – but nevertheless – continues to exist in its own juice
“One cannot contrast a thing as it is ‘in itself’ with what it appears to be from our limited, partial perspective; this visibility is more important than the thing in itself, for it determines how a given thing fits into the scheme of its relations with others.”

Client – My ID
Comments / Link: Client – My IDFun fact: I used NSWE Central Noise as the main background layer for all tracks in Client – My ID. My ID is one of the most interesting albums on mittnetworkmusic, in my opinion. I made it in a week while traveling around South Caucasus region. NSWE Central Noise itself is a pure modular synthesis computer generated noise with ADSR I made on a Linux laptop in Saint Petersburg around summer of 2019.

The perspective
Comments / Link: The perspectiveYou must cognize the perspective of reality through a strategy of critical thinking, real logic, not with emotions… emotions is a good powerful fuel, but not the driver, the reason itself; rationality is a factor of survival.

Understanding what you don’t like
Comments / Link: Understanding what you don’t likeIt doesn’t take much intelligence to criticize just everything you don’t like. It’s significantly more challenging to try to understand the intricacies – to ask open questions, not dogmas, to focus on comprehending proportions and percentages rather than isolated emotional colored incidents, to act more humanely, therefore, wider.

Parallel realities
Comments / Link: Parallel realitiesParallel worlds of the mind’s imagination, its connections to reality; those upper-level simulation worlds in which people live – legal areas, family traditions, social laws… the Internet. Many of them. Immersion of consciousness in each one and re-grouping. This is the second world that humans are building. Impossible for any animal to get in there.

Subjects and essense of cultural code
Comments / Link: Subjects and essense of cultural codeAt the root, at the core, each person is unique.
On top, however, it is superficially covered with a cultural code… like a set of clothes, a garment, it reflects many of the movements and character of the individual, the garment is most often what is given, but sometimes it is what the individual chooses.
A complex mixture of cultural codes is possible. Rotten elements might be present within, as well as magical mutations. It’s akin to the DNA but in the information world of humans.
The erasure or correction of a code in its entirety or nuance is possible too. The code applies to societies, the groups that carry the code.
It is all information and pieces of reflected, partly post factum mutated reality. -
Sentiment Ressentiment
Comments / Link: Sentiment RessentimentAn eternal engine of social development, the strong-smart are few… the weak are many, sometimes smart wins, sometimes weak masses wins.The weak, the masses, they pull their morality in different ways. For example soviet and post soviet Russia, it is clearly an entity of the weak, the resentment class – their amoral mindset and action lack the true desire to real power, to surpass in real… but only to prolong the comfort position, to make slaves of others.Reasons, motives, expediency of actions – these are the areas where this viscous meta-driver code of personality can be discerned.

I would add: what is morality of slaves – it is a thought without social perspective. -

985838822
Comments / Link: 985838822It’s always more about the wisdom of limitations.
A hard leader is only bad when he’s stupid and untalented.
Forceful promotion of good ideas, even if sacrifices have to be made, is always well received by people lately.
In short, the main thing is the idea, reasoning and strength, where it leads. Ideas of total freedom and democracy are illusory – most often such things end up in banal mess. We still need to filter out the most talented individuals for the roles of political leaders, not mediocre.

Amplification of the new
Comments / Link: Amplification of the newI’ve recently made a small invention for myself, a method to improve the originality of melodies. When I create music or melodies I just play notes on the music keyboard to find perfection, it’s not about drawing on paper like in the past. I record them, look for the right combination and then edit.
So one of the ways today to improve the originality of a piece of art, either music or anything else, as you realized first of all I’m talking about music or art, – is the way of varying the spontaneity of movement during the creation process. It doesn’t have to be the hand, it can be a technical device or whatever.
You have to try to make a new, original movement, a sudden leap in an unusual place, or a stretch where you wouldn’t expect it. A leap, a discontinuity or stretch, a variation in the temporal. It is, after all, the flow of time.
Apparently, something similar to randomization of context in creation is also done by nature – for example, mutations in DNA are a spontaneous factor, the factor of randomness, shuffling and over-shuffling is present.
