SOME Philosophical aphorisms & critical reflections Daily

  • 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.

  • Aggressor must be struck back

    The aggressor must be struck back. If you give them what they want, they will only demand more and cause more harm.

    Aggression and arrogance must be met with a firm response.

    The idea of strength as the main value comes from a shallow understanding of the complexity of human society and its interactions.

    True strength is not just force, but wide-reaching flexibility and balance. What is force without balance?

    Why? It’s the only way of the stable evolution. Whole life is not about killing each other, it’s about symbiosis.

  • Formation of values of human creations

    Why do people often value more highly the creations attributed to a single individual — sometimes even reforming and simplifying what was made by a group into the vision of one?

    Often the value forms itself under the image of one creator even if there was a team or any other complexity behind it – there is a simplification of the creation of value, but this image of the creator largely influences value itself due to its clarity; it reflects the reflection of the human interest of man in man as an inseparable part of human existence.

    When a cultural product is generated by someone unknown – not individual but a structure, it may elicit a rejection in its perspective; it might lack value forming based on the mentioned simplicity and the deep underlayed within us the human-seek-human factor.

    In context of modern world’s relentless pursuit for novelty, the human factor might seem to become mundane, yet it remains one of the key elements of forming cultural values in general as still there is no best thing we ever meet as our closest one – the human being.

  • I rarely mention names or events for a reason

    This is not a newspaper or a personal blog.

    Image Source

    This is a philosophical project, and to get better results, I look at everything from above or at a specific angle.

    That’s why I intentionally avoid any names or events.

    With this approach, I gain greater clarity. As a sensitive musician and artist, I also try to avoid taking an emotional perspective, as it can distort the truth and hinder definition.

    I see my philosophical goal clearly: to find a way to understand better and gain insightful perspectives on being in general.

    I might be wrong: I do not know everything, but I try hard to be as critical as I can and also remain honest.

    The internet is already so noisy. I know it can be boring or strange but still, my defined style is to proceed without any names or day-to-day analysis of the chaos we see around these days.

    Despite that, I’m still taking an actual perspective, but with the mentioned balanced approach.

  • IDEAS PT.2

    Dialectically scanning all possible options, evaluating the thesis that all ideas are born at the intersection of the internal model of the mind with the external – real world, one might argue:

    Let’s say a science fiction writer comes up with idea of another planet where instead of complex life there is a one big reasonable ocean. Such a thing does not exist in reality as we might know. But there are initial prototypes – intelligence, life, and ocean, these beginnings were laid at the start, and when the writer felt the necessity to synthesize this mixture from the previously absorbed experience; and it came into contact with reality.  Reality still serves as the foundation for this concept.

    If we isolate the mind from external influences, what thoughts could it generate? Emptiness, introspection?

    What could be pure reason’s speculations within itself? Synthesizing concepts, but from what? All of them still emerge as re-actions.

    But what is that necessity? It seems that it is simply the movement of the mind as it is, in other words, when the waves move – they move; everything moves and if it moves – it somehow changes, and therefore is subjected to influence and influences. When the mind is strong, its movements reach far.

    A hypothetical super-mind in a vacuum? What would the mind be without the experience, reality, and stability of its own world model? Perhaps a better starting point is to consider what lies beyond – the energy and space.

  • Ideas

    An idea doesn’t exist in the physical world; it is a mental construct developed in response to an encounter with reality.

    For example, the concept of numbers, one of the most profound and far reading ideas, was created as an abstraction by the mind to interpret complexity. One of the most fundamental techniques of the mind is to subdivide reflections into smaller parts for examination.

    The intersection of the mind’s internal model with the external reality is where ideas are conceived.

  • Mind’s Inner Motor

    To quiet the mind, make a clear distinction between yourself and its inner motor. Stop yourself at first, but you can’t control the entire movement of the mind—so just allow the motor to spin down the rest on its own.

  • Inspiration

    Inspiration is more about the energetic state of mind rather than the ideational, the semantic.

    When ideas have properly signed the mind, like matching keys, but mainly when the mind itself has reached a top state, especially in a general, physical sense, then there will be wonderful results brought about by inspiration.

    The idea of what you truly like is one of the first impulses boosting energy in forming inspiration. However, the overall underlying context here is usually broader and lies somewhat deeper as it is partly hidden in the subconscious streams.

    True inspiration is a cutting-edge blend of glowing will to the world, that is, a power.

  • Everything is temporary

    It’s good to always remember: everything is temporary; the essence of the world is to constantly evolve.

  • Emptiness through you

    Void… see the emptiness inside and through yourself, in fact it is there: the empty space in the stomach, between and inside the parts of the body, inside atoms, the emptiness between thoughts…

    This emptiness

    You are kind of permeable

  • Don’t rush time

    Don’t rush time; later, you’ll realize how irreversible it was. Get the most of each moment; our life is so short.

  • Information touches everything

    I call it an information revolution rather than a tech revolution because the fundamental changes are driven by information.

    In fact, information touches everything and is a deeper phenomenon than technology or machines, that’s why are experiencing more changes than ever before.

  • The ongoing revolution

    The ongoing infromation revolution is a catalyst, driving massive global change. In such a dynamic environment, avoid relying on stability. Be prepared to let go of anything, stay adaptable and ready for both challenges and opportunities.

  • Absolute ideal

    The effort towards a perfect ideal is absurd; fluctuations and disparities are embedded in the very nature of the Universe. 

    Instead of hard perfectionism, a bit of nonchalance can lead to a more harmonious results.

  • The Power Paradox

    Being authoritarian, abusing any power, means being weak.

    When someone can’t think of new ideas or act smartly, they turn to force.

    This is usually the worst, rude and stupid; cancer. 

    Still, learn to accept things as they are and don’t panic. Sometimes, bad things happen to pave the way for truly great ones.

  • Interest

    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.

  • Getting interested

    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?

    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.

    The largest USA 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…

    USA on the yeasts of the information revolution swelled – and deteriorated.

    Better be more careful now with everything there, especially the data – it’s time to carefully think about backups and alternatives.

  • The Trap of News Noise

    Too much information disorients; much of it is spread manipulation and low-quality noise. Like everything valuable, quality information is rare. Why? It requires a lot of energy, will, long-term investment, a trained brain.

    If people read less news and mass media, they wouldn’t, for example, fall into the trap of a foolish leader.

    Some sort of noisy information manipulation always precedes the direct zombification of people.

    The trap of noise is that it acts like a drug. This anxiety and wildness stimulate dark, ancient remnants of the brain, spiraling society by its own means. But by discussing and worrying too much about nonsense, you sort of co-create that nonsense yourself.

    Mastering the art of ignoring is a must; not to discuss or drag things out, but to keep a distance and maintain the clarity of the signal. Work on getting your flow and mind clear. It’s not a joke… It’s like water; who would drink poisoned, dirty water? So much information manipulation is being spread around—be critical, ask questions, and keep calm.

    Dark ages are coming… always be ready for war, deprivation, remove all excess, be ready to move—but remain noble and humanistic, avoiding the initiation of aggression.

    We are living through an information revolution, and it will be difficult for everyone in this age. The first thing to take care of today is a clear head.

    I’ve stopped reading daily news feeds, and I’ve never felt better. I still get information, but now I do so by weekly or monthly digests. There’s no perfect media source; you’re always going to have to be critical and filter everything twice.
