Interest… how does it manifest itself, and how is it formed in our minds?
Interest is the will that guides a situation based on the values our minds have adapted to.
Who are we without our interests? Beyond any particular interests, we are shaped by the values we have been able to comprehend.
In human interactions, direct confrontation is utterly useless. It’s always a delicate game of interpreting meanings.
Focus on easy way, as if playing, only then will you succeed in any endeavor.
Don’t strain yourself much; “forcing will” strategy can only last for a short time.
If you really need to master a certain topic, you’re to trick yourself into getting interested and make yourself love it
Why did USA fall so low?
Where does it come from is the corrosion of capitalism, swayed by the technological revolution of humanity in general. America is concentrated capitalism.
In the fierce constant struggle for luck and money, a huge number of people get tired and weaken their minds.
Too much money, too much fat.
America needed a strong Europe to maintain balance and tone of movement, competition.
This is a problem of growth and scale. Not only that you can’t eat without measure – you’ll be fat, you can’t pump muscles without measure either – you’ll be overstrained and sick. It’s about America.
The largest American monopoly corporations have been doing nothing good or new for a long time as well. Apple is lucky to have mass popular Android and Windows, only that’s why they manage to preserve at least minimum quality and innovation – but in fact degradation wave comes for them as well – size and scale will play their role; Microsoft and Google have both been getting worse and destroying everything around for a long time – because they are overgrown monopolists; fat and stupid.
In this world, you don’t just grow – then you swell and sour. You must move, find and fight, compete…
America on the yeasts of the information revolution swelled – and deteriorated.
Socialism should balance capitalism, unrestrained growth will lead to a tumor.
Be more careful now with everything American hosted, especially the data stored there – it’s time to carefully think about backups and alternatives.
The sky is blue… but only we see it like this; actually, it’s contains more details. And not only the sky.
Many abstractions like countries or feelings also have an even more subjective connotation.
The whole world we perceive is extremely subjective.
The one who can and has enough honesty and strength to see the truth and perspective of distance is really to be alive, not illusions and phantoms; it’s all short-term… By the way, learn to recognize pain as well; life is a complex tapestry of all possible experiences.
In the long run, you can’t ignore reality as it is. The path to true success (not luck or fortune based) lies in merging with reality and accepting it. The reality beyond our consciousness is very real, and we certainly don’t see it to the end.
Human being… not only builds, but also destroys as much.
Sometimes some people, under certain circumstances, just have fun destroying everything in a brazen way.
Don’t try to search for universal justice, this world is created to boil and rebuild again and again… whatever the struggle – the worst will lose sooner or later.
I like to turn off everything and just contemplate.
I like keeping it minimal, without internet, news, consumerism, and no worries: take the maximum of your time and the minimum of what could grab it, fully aware and complete in this time, we’ve got so little of it actually; why ever hurry, anyway you are going to die and will never predict it all.
That acceptance of “nothing” gives you space of thought, gives you time to understand.
No, it’s not like Buddhist meditation. You don’t hide yourself behind breathing exercises. You face this reality directly as it is, head-on.
I am not anticipating new music. I mean, exceptionally new music, like modern electronics compared to the 19th century.
Do you expect electricity to be discovered again? Well, new music is electricity. Such significant discoveries happen rarely…
There’s no point in rushing here, and what was relevant in the 90s, when electricity delved into digital, can still be relevant today. Who said 30 years is a far past? That stage is still here, and it might last for two hundred years, who knows.
Neural networks can bring new sounds, but more likely – quantum computers.
Today’s question is: do we all truly need new things so much? Perhaps today’s rush is just a blur.
Are you waiting for the new forms? What they could be like?

A useful method to check if something is suitable or not is to catch the very first impression, the very first imprint from the consciousness when you come into contact with something. Then examine it honestly, before any biases or preconceived notions influence your conclusions.
What has already crossed our minds may be contaminated or masked either by our own thoughts or by the source of the content.
This method can help filter out junk and noise because almost immediately, any perception is absorbed through the sponge of consciousness and is colored the subtext.
However, that was primarily discussed in relation to aesthetics.
Ethics can be manipulated through aesthetics, so you might need additional filtering.
I refer to it as a “perspective filter.” When dealing with morals, laws, politics, or any other human-related issues, before forming an opinion, you usually make a basic examination of how it might unfold in the long run. Then, true “good” or “bad” may come to your internal eye.

Language is a map of understanding, experiences transformed into a structured code.
Knowledge is stable and reality-proven form of that code, while disinformation might not be actually real – it’s a phantom intended to generate quick profits regardless of consciousness.
In the early years of life, even humans do not experience contemplation in the full sense of the word.
There is merely an awareness of current existence, even before the formation of speech and the general conceptual apparatus. It is during this time that the first memories are formed…
In other words, consciousness is partly shaped by the external environment, and naturally based on the foundation of mind and memory – the upper layer is language and memory. This is where consciousness further reflects and exists by itself…
Were you, in the truest sense, in understanding and rational perception of the world before your first memories, that is, around the ages of 3-4 or 5?
A human is designed in such a way that even wrong may benefit them. We inherit this from nature as a whole. Dinosaurs didn’t work out, so it did even better – just developed another scenario.
Depth of darkness opens opportunities. Some imbalance provides true balance. If anything were extra smooth and perfect, without any movement, there would be no good. Good is just other side of bad.
Some try hard to build something… others try harder to destroy. In any case, everyone moves. Movement is the essence, object – contextual.
Why is skepticism preferable to dogmatism? Because recognizing flaws allows room for enhancement. The entire aim of existence is to continually progress, so that aligns seamlessly.
The skill of skeptics is not being simplistic or unwise. You don’t question everything; you focus on key facts. Dismissing thoroughly researched and verified information is just irrational.
Acknowledge that you can’t know everything. Don’t attempt to be “overly intelligent.” You truly can’t grasp every detail; just let it be.
Sometimes individuals hold onto incorrect beliefs simply because they fear losing their investment. Release it, always.
“The main unit of a biological computer is a nerve cell, or neuron, which is internally very different from a (computer chip) transistor.
Of course, the code through which neurons exchange information resembles the code based on a sequence of impulses used in digital computing machines, but an individual neuron is a much more sophisticated unit for processing information than a transistor.
Instead of just three connections with other components, a single neuron can have tens of thousands. A neuron operates more slowly than a transistor, but it has achieved much more in terms of miniaturization, which has been the main focus in the electronics industry over the past two decades.
This is easily evidenced by the fact that the human brain contains approximately 10 billion neurons, whereas a skull could only hold a few hundred transistors.” – R.Dawkins
As about ai… To be honest I barely use it, although of course as a computers fan I know tech news well and have tried almost everything.
The thing is, I express not the emotions of a computer but my own. I feel… these things can’t be expressed in words. Words are another level. Can you translate music into words? Then why do you want to hear it?
To do what I must do, I need to try different notes, different pieces, to feel the final result — that yes, it is it, that it solidifies and affirms my feeling, my emotion, my way there. Experience and tryings.
It’s hard to explain this to a computer; it’s way too abstract and complicated to be just a couple of prompts.
In this regard, I would prefer a wider variety of sound synthesizers and image effects over direct artificial generators.
The same goes for texts and thoughts… a computer cannot express my thoughts, my view and understanding of the world, my perspective.
So far, the only place where I use neural networks is for correcting the grammar of my imperfect English…
