The most appropriate reaction…

Jan 16, 2024

The most appropriate reaction to 80+ percent of life situations is calmness, 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 important.

Average consumerism

Jan 15, 2024

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 say like it’s bad food. And don’t forget that we’re not talking about smart sophisticated and honest people, but about the average consumerists.

The key is that they eat same in a well-advertised network and is satisfied, but from an unknown person, if they to receive the same thing, they would insult and make an expert out of nothing.

The relations and dialectics here matters the most.

It’s all the same with music and philosophy, and with clothing brands, websites, anything.

Demand and marketing prevail in the perception of products of their actual values espesially when its about an average consumerism point.

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, as a creator, care minimum for the average.

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

Jan 14, 2024

“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

Jan 12, 2024

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

Jan 8, 2024

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.

Cosmos and mother nature

There is no need to dissociate the understanding of space and nature, it’s all the one. Different levels of complexity, the essence is the same.

Processing chemistry of brain, emptiness and consciousness, the scheme of its relations

Dec 30, 2023

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

Dec 28, 2023

Fun 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

Dec 27, 2023

You 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

Dec 26, 2023

It 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.

Hegelian Dialectics suggests that for every thesis (ie: trend, fad, or popular groundswell), an anti-thesis emerges to oppose it, sometimes purely out of spite.

Emotions, Reactions

Dec 23, 2023

Nevertheless, machines are still incapable of doing emotions; they can only simulate reactions. However, it is merely a matter of time before we seamlessly merge with machines, giving rise to a novel and evolved form of being

Parallel realities

Dec 22, 2023

Parallel 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

Dec 19, 2023

At 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

Dec 18, 2023

An 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.

It’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.
