Philosophical aphorisms & critical reflectionS

  • Herd Mentality

    Herd mentality in humans blurs clarity, weakening the precision needed as complexity grows. Calm, open detachment—not pride—helps keep a clear view for better decisions.

  • Patterns

    At the heart of every neural network lies a simple act — recognizing patterns across oceans of data.

    The machine finds, but it does not yet truly see what it finds.

    It is our history, our suffering, our bond with reality that give meaning to what we see.

  • Adaptive Spirit

    People don’t grow poor because of new tech like AI — they grow poor chasing the illusion of stability. Life was never meant to be stable. We were made to adapt, to face change. The more the world shifts, the more flexible you have to be. Minimalism, stoicism, the readiness to lose everything — and to work hard without complaint — that’s what truly helps. Not comfort. Not control. Just resilience.

  • Masses

    The more elevated your spirit, the more repellent you are to the masses — because the masses only worship reflections of themselves

  • Collective guilt

    Where everyone is to blame, no one is guilty; collective guilt is best guarantee against the discovery of the real culprits.

  • First comes nothing

    Why is there something in the world? Because pure nothingness is unstable. Yet first comes nothing—something is derivative.

  • Quality in work: know when to stop

    Most interesting thing about striving for quality in work is to be able not to do something… know when to stop, to feel when it’s enough. This requires honesty and a sharp, critical eye.

  • The core of creative work

    Smooth, efficient flow is essential for the core of creative work. The work must be quick yet focused — distractions or slowness point to decline. Details can always be refined later.

  • (External) Value Validation

    To achieve success with broad audience, it’s not about the quality of the product — it’s about how heavily it’s been promoted.

    In the eyes of an average person, the value isn’t determined by the real insight, rather by external validation & authority: it’s just faster.

  • Complexity & Fragility

    For me it’s all very simple: the more complicated it becomes, the more fragile it will be.

  • Beauty

    What is beauty? Why do some faces captivate one person but not another?

    Beauty is always partly subjective — shaped by the observer’s inner world.

    Can a computer create a beautiful girl? Maybe. But usually, it’s just an attractive one. True beauty reflects something personal — something uniquely yours.

  • Earth is the genius planet

    Earth is the genius planet, there are so few of them. So many unique combinations of factors. Take care of it, love it.

  • State level / Basic needs

    “State level” has potential—an entity to maintain basic universal needs like the internet and social websites, media libraries,  with open-source code and a decentralized nature. When you pay your part, it’s as though you’re contributing to the whole, fundamental access; it’s bad when the gigantism of private corporations takes over basic levels.

    Such flows can get diluted by scale; compact communities are more stable.

  • Luck is often about percentage of attempts

    Before you say luck doesn’t love you, make sure that you bought enough lottery tickets

  • Future

    You don’t know the future not because you don’t know it, but simply because it hasn’t happened yet, it just doesn’t exist yet.

  • Sociality

    There is a deep social aspect to everything humans do and surround themselves with.

    Things and entities are also enveloped by these halos that form codes of value, subtly ingrained beneath the surface.

    “It’s not just what you do but where you do it”

    “Not just how you do it but for whom and who appreciates it“

    Social orientation simplifies the mind, which constantly seeks an optimized energy strategy, even if it compromises the quality.

    It’s no wonder that humans are social animals, as even the strongest sociopath, if intelligent, wouldn’t deny this: no entity as intriguing and profound as humans has been encountered yet.

    What could be worse than a city—dirty, noisy, dangerous? Yet, everyone goes there and lives there because it’s convenient, because all the people are gathered there.

  • Combining

    What if the essence of life is not in the combinations themselves, but in the act of combining?

    In the relentless pursuit of possibilities, perhaps the true value lies not in the attainment of a perfect state but in the journey of self-discovery and growth that emerges from the trials and tribulations.

    Thus, the imperfect, transient combinations are the fragments that shape our ongoing narrative, teaching us resilience, acceptance, and the beauty of the ephemeral.

    Unusual but high-quality films are remembered stronger and brighter than the same high-quality ones – but ordinary ones.

  • Age of Civilization

    Like a child learning to draw from their first conscious actions, or like early humans who began creating art from their first awareness.

    So too, it seems, that civilization as a whole can have an age, just like a living being. There are early stages, turbulent adolescence, experimental and aggressive youth, stable growth, maturity, and a gradual transition into void.

    Our civilization today exists somewhere around the equivalent of a 16-year-old teenager—eagerly discovering new things, yet aggressive and still unable to grasp the deeper essence of existence.

  • Information Revolution

    The Industrial Revolution ended with two world wars.

    We now face a more complex and dense revolution: the Information Revolution.

    Everything will change drastically and quickly, inevitably with some casualties.

    Effective strategies for today – stoicism and minimalism.

  • Core Human: Experience and Reality

    One of core essence of humanity lies in working with experience — including making mistakes and trying new things.

    This is something not provided in the context of facing reality: the need to try and understand this reality, to endure — not something well structured, like for machines.

    It seems there might be several types of intelligence which can integrate and support each other. If two super intelligences meet, why fight when you can talk?

    What you primarily to pass on as knowledge to the next generation is experience with reality, a legacy of reasonable data which is always something related to this.

    I would not say anything related to computers is an another reality, it is this reality, just another level of it.
