  • “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 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” 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, but only money… what is fun 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, all typical tasks 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. Remember dictator’s wars usually start the guise of “safety of people” 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 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, no threats to freedom.

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

    Freedom first, then security.

  • Who is coming

    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 barely be able to became successful without real talents.

    But in politics and pop culture there are so much pure evil idiots out there. Society ought to do something about that.

    Modern words have great science and underground art, but are stuck in horrible politics and mass culture crises. People are to find ways out of the random who take to the top only by their impudence or luck.

  • “AI”

    Stupid word “AI” is everywhere today, it’s lame dumb, like all “trendy” stuff. Just a bad taste… Everyone will get sick of that buzz soon enough.

    We will get a good technology after some years, no doubts. I’m nice about that, just tired of the nonsense masses’ fears and marketing hysteria.

  • Just music… not jazz, not lounge, but something old and nice

    An interesting piece of vintage I stumbled upon recently. Not quite easy mark it with any well known genres. I’d call it something like vintage lounge, but rhythmic parts ain’t so visible there to be considered so. 1946 / USA

  • Mist

    What’s ahead? The unknown. Don’t try to predict, you can’t. Just do what you have to do, be truthful, honest, and let it be. In the end, you’ll die anyway, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, take it easy.

  • Lo-Fi, representation, post-perception

    Contemporary culture is over-saturated with crystallized images: they talk and sell the idea of realism as a supposedly surefire sales stimulant.

    Lo-fi, on the other side, lets the imagination play out better. More interesting it is, to a certain extent. In general, art, imagination, fuel of passion, even sex drive, is delicious and interesting to the consciousness when it has something behind, that when it gets there, it is played out there, mutates, hooks local neural networks, not just copy-pasting like some contemporary ultra-realism, consumerism based stuff.

    Mystery, unobtrusiveness, subtlety, this is what we love. Lo-fi and abstract is closer to the real art and play than realism, in this context.

  • Over-consumerism, poverty

    In well developed countries, poverty is not what one does not have, but what he lacks – his needs, his wishes, quite often- delusional passions.

    Value’s point of view.

    In dark times of modern’s world concentrated over-consumerism ideals, peoples rarely feels satisfied with the basics everyone actually needs, but rather continuously seeks more and more, that’s what I call post modern’s poverty – intellectual poverty.

  • Denial

    An official, a policeman, a deputy, a president… Just a temporary function we delegated you to serve us, the society.

    I know you can be a good fellow, but never try to enslave, I’m always ready to protect the freedom. You work for me, I work for you, only real cooperation matters. Keep it simple, mind the gap.

  • Intellect, ethics, talented but wrong directed people

    Various parts of the human brain are not necessarily interconnected.

    But it’s true that we can only call a truly good man a morally and correctly intelligent man, that is, a noble man. That’s primary. A well-trained brain in terms of aesthetics, technology, is nothing without proper ethics, moral course and nobility, it is like a powerful car with a bad driver. What I mean by correct moral course… let’s take the basics, the simplest and most understandable – do not harm others, do not lie, do not be greedy, be ready to die and go away any day.

    Nobility as “a noble character” or “displays nobility of spirit” not as someone’s family lineage or aristocratic background.

    There are deep minds with excellent skills or unique talents – but moral freaks and therefore doomed, I do not respect such people, even if they have created a lot of delicious. For me, the main thing is that a person should be honest, pointed for the truth… it’s good if he’s talented or gifted, but in general it’s no problem if he’s just an average.

    “Clever, noble, but not talented; talented, noble, but not clever; or, lastly, talented, clever, but not noble” – a quote from somewhere.

  • Just for fun. Life Game

    Never busting my ass for any work include this blog or my music or anything else in that matter. I just do it because I like it because I have time because it’s interesting for me. I don’t care what other people can think about that. It’s like a video game or something, just doing what I like. If it will became any really impossibly hard some day, I’ll just turn off the console, I’m free to do that too, experience is everything.

  • Artificial values

    Never “marry” ideas, even if you’ve invested a lot in them, we humans are very complex creatures and it’s normal to make mistakes sometimes.

    It’s better and easier to be open and say “I was wrong, OK, let’s move on, at least I learned something new” than to constantly destroy the path by those wrongly coordinated movements even if “you put so much efforts there” so that they became an artificial value to you.

    Also, don’t care what others think about your way – first of all, they care about their own personalities most of the time, secondly, why the heck should you mind what those heads think at all when you have your own detailed view to decide on; so, just be careful buying the double represented views of others. It’s a precarious thing to correlate your values and ideas with others.

    Freedom is the fuel of good value creation, so – be there. Remember to guard against the delusional, enslaving thinking of the masses, it’s so often corrupted. Listening only to selected people can help – those who have proven by real results that they have good brains and honest morals (for example, those who’ve never been caught telling nontruth deliberately), but even they can be wrong…

    So, the critical thinking, open mindedness, openness to death, and not being afraid of someone saying you are wrong are the keys here.

  • Aesthetic Reflections

    Aesthetic culture works and develops through infinite cycles of self reflection returning to what was good.

    Like a double filter that takes worthy thru time, call it, whatever, but not exactly like the ouroboros concept.

    Sometimes, significant eras shift due to technological/science changes, leaving behind only a little in terms of aesthetics. As a person from 2023, I find much of interest in the 1960-2000 timeframe, but very little in the 19 century, except perhaps some little in literature.

  • Prisoners

    Are prisoners really so bad? Are they not just a part of us, a part of the whole tree of life?

    Could we have our own faults that these people are wasted? Greedy, closed, selfish, naive, conceited… that leads to toxicity that damages souls around us, and then we imprison them, but then later their children somehow get luck or power – the circle.

    In our archaic society we like barbarians tend to overestimate luck, believing in wrong illusions.

    And then those who got great luck by some chance start to act “superiority” to others, while we are all technically equal.

    On the other side, those who have more brain than average can not be gods, they just naturally do more work to help others.

    From a perspective view, there should be no prisons, don’t waste people, build a better open society, re-educate them or something. No prison, but maybe an open hospital to help those crazy brain damaged people.

    Most prisoners today are just a result of a wrong society. You got luxury, you got drugs (bit pharma and mafia lobbing, actually), you got corruption, you got money.

    Badly organized society highly increases amount of bad people.

  • Don’t hate

    Too much polarization

    You can’t absolutely hate stupid people, just like you can’t hate a wrongly prepared (e.g. with ms installed) laptop – a laptop itself is usually a good machine, masterpieces could be made on it, as well as those people’s brains are generally good… every human is a beautiful, complex creature, just a lot of wrong, corrupted information got inside to some of them, and instead of hating, we better to find ways to be open, to correct them, to reinstall a proper quality self programs.

    It’s so easy to hate and say things like “genetic junk dummies”, “evil”, but it’s also so inefficient and wrong, I know it’s hard, but we can’t make enemies of each other, we have to find ways to stabilize rather than just destroy the relationships.
