  • Impermanence

    Be ready to lose everything. Nothing physical truly belongs to us; it’s all just temporary rent. Only your mind and your time are yours

  • Social Polarization++

    The world of people is actively polarizing due to the new internet age and overall globalization. We still have many significant battles ahead: barbarians against smart and cultured, daring assholes against those who understand, evil against good. Remember a simple formula: what is evil? – insolent ignorance.

    There are no doubts that good will win; it is just sharper, but blood will be shed, stupid people must pay the price. Don’t think your cozy little civilized place is protected, nothing is stable, whole earth is same for all. Be ready to fight, prepare your ideals, it is okay to die and there is no fear when you know you are the truth; the world is in flux.

  • Oversaturation

    A new phenomenon of the “post-Internet” era – hypertrophied mass consciousness, mass psychosis, deliberately fueled hysteria

  • Dark ages

    Politics today is a crap zone, smart goes to art or science, mid-range minds go to politics mostly; typically – activists, cops, fat money-makers… you will rarely meet genius people there, but usually just some lucky mediocre. Don’t mind exceptions, of course.

    Sure that’s got reasons behind it, today’s politics seems to be a dull field full of dirt to sort through.

    But it would be great if we could somehow direct the best minds there, because so many things depend on politics, including phenomenons of masses manipulation, big resources delegation, laws making, etc.

  • Сriticism tone


    People who throw dirt criticism on everything are usually self-affirming …. but it’s a bad tone, an unfaithful approach.

    Be beautiful and accurate, discuss/criticize carefully, clearly expressing understanding and openness to the other sides that may be unknown or misunderstood to you.

    Anything else, don’t blindly pour buckets of criticism, but try to understand the essence and talk about it from all sides.

    Let’s take an example, while being on a side of blind self-affirming critics, it is most convenient to take a “pose” and call today’s AI chatbots a bullshit product, but it is more correct to take both sides dialectically and in addition mention that “Well, guys have created an interesting technology: in general, the results are worthy of attention, but yes it’s still quite young, and there is much excessive mass psychosis around it, empty hype, and the technology is still far from anything revolutionary” – just as an example

    Of course there are cases where nothing but bad things can be said, but still, watch your tone of criticism.

  • If I am tired

    If I’m tired of work – sleep and quality books, maybe a good wise blog or music, or a quiet walk, or a lunch of simple foods like vegetables and cereals, these are the things that really help. Especially sleep and rest, just lying down and doing nothing, – such a rest provides so much energy… just do nothing, absolutely nothing. And no no no to any mass media or social networks, no to news, no sugar, especially no drugs, all that shit only makes things worse.

  • There is no justice by default, don’t wait for it, fight for the better today

    There is no justice in the world and don’t try to wait for it, sometimes the worst scumbags get everything and the best people suffer, be prepared for the worst, be ready for the fight to get that justice by yourself, nature is not giving it as a served dish by default.

    And by the way, suffering in itself is not so bad, it develops us. Stagnation, stupidity and insolence – these are the really bad things.

    Act according to the situation and honestly, so that for the better and not just for the better from your stupidity.

    Objective quality criteria is the measure.

  • Do I really need to know that?

    Some knowledge, while factually correct, is essentially useless.

    For example, do I really need to know all that wide range of small political facts? Some information is not needed.

    Of course it’s good to know everything, but what about the capacity of the receiver? Our memory and emotional battery ain’t infinitely elastic. That’s why I don’t spend time reading newspapers and social networks, only the best quality essentials and in very little amount.

    Also, imagination, emptiness… so important for the mind, let it be.

  • The product of music, analysis. Hierarchy there as I see it

    1) Melody and chords. The top and the highest thing to achieve is a melody, it is the best and most complex element, it directly influences our feelings.

    2) Sound. The next and very close to the first is the sound, for example the type of a synthesizer or an instrument, and its characteristics, the interest of sound and its wave, flow.

    3) Rhythm. Drums, crackles, percussion, things, their structure; rhythms is the heart; we are also naturally interested in the sound presentation of it.

    4) Arrangement, production, composition timeline structure. Breaks and interruptions, timeline’s ideas, in short – how the flow of melodies, sounds and rhythms is organized together. Including mastering and processing, effects.

    5) Design, idea, presentation of the music. Names, album art covers, design, how it is presented to public in general.

  • Life is a fight

    Let us have no illusions, war is close to the natural state of man, in other words – we all have to deal with bad, life is a state of fight, either you solve yourself and your own complexity, or world around you, and with others, or with evil idiots, you can get many random scenarios during your path. War, fight, it’s dirty, but it is natural in terms of overall competition or beauty/freedom formation.

    Weak and dirty attack prosperous, unfree attack free, resentment drives aggression… prosperous and reasonable rarely attack first, but it should be understood that a bad neighbors (extrapolate to the whole earth too…) – sooner or later you will have to deal with them.

    Personally, I am always ready for a battle, always ready for the worst, to attack or respond immediately, always ready to die, to fight the enemies – life is not a sugar sweet you know, it is a complicated thing. Life is good, but our society is complex, not balanced, evil comes from weak, bad educated brains. So much crap in the world, you have to be ready. But in general I stick to the principle of not attacking first, and I am not afraid of all that, life is good and death is good too.

    Fuck hezbollah, hamas, putin and his clerks… weak, dirty shit, just crazy limited brains, absolutely can’t stand anyone else living good free life. Parasites of the world, they don’t bring new ideas or values, only contagion, rot, resentment. I am to fight such scumbags out of our possibly best, good world!

  • “Safety”

    Today, “security” is a common popular form of deception.

    Be accurate updating your software, especially if it’s not open sourced – they can make it worse – they just want to sell more; greed rules today, not quality.
    Update only in a very rare case and only when the code is open source and when you can see the list of changes. If it is open source and you clearly see that it fixes obvious vulnerability, close it, updated, of course. But how to believe closed source corporations who continuously been lying about security just to ship you other pack of “pro” shit to sell or to worsen your device to sell you new? You can’t see.

    It would be better if they taught general computer education courses instead – open code, encryption, principles of simplicity in systems; in fact they don’t care about your security, honestly, only money… they have enough pennies to live on, the main thing is the pursuit of a number, a badge, sometimes a luxury – the wealth of stupidity.

    In general, you could perfectly well use a computer from 2008 or even older, for all typical tasks except realistic 3d seems to be quite enough. They tell “we have made new mega fast computer… same time doing idiotic over-complexity in software and artificial obsolescence to gain sales.

    Same in governments, medicine, market. If it’s a corporation focused on generating money, high percentages in chances they don’t care about your safety, they want control and profit. Remeber dictator’s wars usually start the guise of “safety of people” like Donbas or Poland, starting actually killing them later.

    Or that virus hysteria a couple of years ago. I don’t deny that viruses happen, sometimes dangerous ones… I’m fine with vaccines and stuff; I speak about that info-noise, the shizo mass-psycho crying about safety… Until the absurd fragile edges. It sounds alarming and false by itself, reasonable statements can’t be formulated like that, such noise about they security concerns was obviously pumped up for profits – journalists, pharmacists, politics… Foucault warned against this – the doctor, the next jailer. Got some problems, let us discuss them calmly, do not threaten freedom.

    Don’t trust that. Security idea is messed up. Be accurate… that’s how they sell it, for a reason!

    Freedom first, open type of organization, then security.

  • Assholes coming to power

    The big problem of the modern world is random and ignorant people getting huge money/authority. Oversaturation of power often makes them even worse. Not good educated, not morally correct, not best talented, but medium ones… Masses of banal people just follow their craziness silently later because most folks are just too lazy to inspect that mess.

    Factors of complexity, noise, bad organization…

    However, for example in sports, or science, or real art (not pop), a random person will not be able to became successful without real talents.

    But in politics and pop culture… we have got so much pure evil idiots out there. We ought to do something about that.

    Modern words has great science, but stuck in horrible politics and mass culture crisis. We need to get rid of those random assholes who takes to the top only by their impudence or luck.
