  • Who wins

    It is not the sophisticated intellectual who wins people, but more often those who are more lucky, those who managed to convince folks in a simple way

    The one who is more cunning and assertive, who is bolder, wins. Sophisticated mind is not a first thing to work with normal people.  It’s great if he’s smart at the same time, but a thin mind tends to slow down the movement a lot. 

    An intellectual need to be able to be brazen, especially when working with the masses

    Who is really smart must accept this reality and adapt correspondingly

  • To feel the beauty

    What is a real thing of a creator is that to be able to feel the signal among the endless stream of mess, to see and predict that reflection, to hear the one, to choose a perfect combination, to find an order, a solution

    Or with style… to be able to cut, to remove unnecessary.

    That’s what is valued, that is what important for the people when they need the creator.

    Not the stream, but its filtering, after all, the understanding of the flow itself.

  • Don’t pay attention

    You need to be able to distinguish noise around you

    Things that are better not to notice all kinds of small percentage fluctuations: what’s output makes little game in general, there is a lot of such

    And there are also things that are better to ignore directly

    Things/People/Data//Events/Whatever

    Focus on signal but know the noise, our energy is limited, spent it accurately

  • Leisure

    “High wages make leisure too expensive.”

    Leisure is needed but of a good quality; for example, without consumption or anything hard; you just give free space to mind to explore

    Freeform mind drifting is an essential part of a well trained understanding

  • Wars

    Wars rarely end with an absolute winner. All sides usually lose far more than they gain.

    Post industrial “homo sapiens” were not supposed for that, it’s a big step backwards, only weak places of complicated social mistakes lead there, usually it’s just about poor managed authority.

    Resort to physical fight only as a last measure of protection.

    Warfare as we used to know it is outdated, in future fights to be intellectual and ideological, prepare your mind, minimalism and critical thinking to be useful. Nature always needs some movement and rotation.

    After capitalism collapses, human brain to be most valued resource out there, nothing be better than a team of geniuses. But that requires a specific, well prepared environment, a next step.

    Money and tech are empty values without people, this decaying era folks blind to see real gold is between them.

  • Don’t hate

    Stay neutral and as cold as possible; let excess energy only go in positive directions. Never start a fight—only fight back for protection.

    Be critical and seek facts and truth, not rumors or opinions

    Remember, they intentionally fill people with hate because hateful people are easier to manipulate.

    When you hate, you lose control, it destroys you.

    It isn’t worth it. A good technique: remember “you become weaker when you hate”, and “true evil is rare”; often it’s more about world’s complexity and presence of corrupted cultural code among people.

    Real power is flexible and silent.

  • Honesty Leads to Goodness

    Honesty is needed to truly achieve something good.

    Otherwise, how can you admit to yourself that you were wrong or made mistakes in order to grow? Improvement always involves growth.

    No matter how much something may dazzle you, if its essence is dishonest—prone to lying and self-deception—then its potential for good is low, and its future is limited.

    Honesty opens the way for growth and true mental flexibility.

    A lack of honesty and focus on truth can ruin even naturally talented minds.

    Don’t be afraid to admit your mistakes, to see the unpleasant parts. That way, you can fix them and improve yourself.

    And keep it simple.
