Good quality resides in the absence of the unnecessary.
More experience and observation of facts, not theories, opinions, or hopes.
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 is needed to achieve something truly 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.
The cultural code of gigantic organizations tends to corrupt over time; a massive system gravitate to oppress people, loosing quality a lot. In a herd, you become lame.
On a large scale, under weak minds, it’s unbalanced. Resistance can be costly for many.
Crisis upon crisis; people to find truth among them.
With all the new technologies—starting from electricity to advanced encoding techniques—we now have access to vast amounts of information.
However, this information does not yet constitute knowledge (which is tested experience that can be repeated and valued for human or natural growth) nor feeling (a pathway to knowledge and meaningful experience, such as through art).
To achieve these, all this data must still be processed at a high level within the human mind.
In this century, the key to success in science and business lies in inventing and predicting ways to efficiently process and manage the big data generated by globalization and technology. This massive amount of information can lead to valuable solutions if one can navigate it effectively.
The trick, however, is not to become a computer as they taught as previous but to actualize human thing.
Anything a computer can learn to do, a computer will do. But still human selects, human consumes.
A custom passage from a random book I stumbled upon recently:
”The transition of power from locally organized production to global financial capital has been occurring for quite some time, but recent events have accelerated and intensified this phenomenon.
Digitalization did not directly ensure globalization, but it certainly did not hinder it, and one of the side effects of this process is the trend toward polarization, both in terms of individual incomes and market monopolies.
For most of modern history, about two-thirds of the money earned in developed countries has generally been paid in the form of wages.
The remaining third consists of interest, dividends, or other forms of rent received by capital owners. Since 2000, the amount paid to capital has significantly increased, while the share of wages has decreased, meaning that the real wages of most people have either remained the same or even decreased”
Alternative forms of societal organization, such as decentralized, small interconnected groups will emerge.
Capitalism, a fuel for concentration of power, is temporary, will be reformed in future too.
Normal people usually are just tired and going lazy crazy;
The scale, that is the problem… anything overgrown concentrated can be bad, overgrown big bad to be avoided in future times.
Universal income will appear most likely only when the number of unemployed will be really high, when all this automation and everything else will be everywhere.
Tech challenges society, hard but for better.
Progress is not always straightforward, don’t blindly believe in anything new, neomania often leads to nothing but noise.
Simple, stable, practical things win. Observe critically. Progress is resilience, not speed.
Over time, only robust solutions will endure, as complexity fades away.
I just randomly hit my elbow hard
No money in the whole world would save me from this
And from much more
But the right wise view of the world could at least save my soul
Life goes on…
Effortlessness is the key to good quality style. It’s not just about order and neatness, but also about feeling free and unburdened.
Top quality always feels easy and simple. And it is, but remember the attempts, values, focus, and experience lying behind that.
With that freedom of movement, you are getting up and through.
A balanced, intelligent mind can handle almost any challenge effectively, but it needs time to adjust.
A collaboration between such minds is even more beneficial.
To allocate energy well, focus on intellectual and humanistic aspects, use these as a foundation to apply open-minded, critical thinking.
Everything will turn out well then.
End-road values like cults of power or money lead to disaster.
But don’t be blind about evil, fight against it actively.
The key to success is to find an easy approach and enjoy the process. Restrictions and forcing only work for a limited time frame.
How to read more books: If a book is too boring, take another one.
Find something good in whatever you do, it’s a right to joy, otherwise no flow, no signal
I like the idea of Bitcoin (banks and money are hell things) but it’s too idealistic for our current, still quite savage world stage.
Someday, it’s likely to be compromised by quantum computers or just banned by governments.
Now it’s clear we’re at the end of a 30-40+ year era of relative peace; after seeing how easily some dictators can enslave the masses, all countries are likely to put more effort into restrictions, weapons, and security.
As human beings, the way we used to know ourselves is just a temporary state.
There’s so much dirt and incompetency hidden inside most of us; the key to human nature is to overcome ourselves, to find and develop a better version.
It all starts from newborns. You have to constantly learn and fight for new horizons; that’s obviously very natural, and when it’s natural, you’re naturally happy.
By nature we programmed to overcome ourselves with hard work on quality.
Music is always a mood for something, a packed will, filled with emotions, ideas and meaning.
Fascism, enslavement comes from both sides, not only from authoritarians but also from the blind who obey bearing serious hidden responsibility as well.
It’s an essential to resist any abuse of power, while simultaneously refraining from abusing as well. Protect others’ freedom just as you would protect yours.
Subordination is essential for improved team performance, but considering humanity’s advanced state, it’s time to reconsider the concepts of “nation” and “leader” to de-centralize and decentralize. Cooperation among high-level minds has reached a new level, surpassing what was possible in previous ages.
Overflow of ai generated junk everywhere today reminding me of what happened with typefaces when computers first arrived.
You might remember that unprepared Arial and Comic Sans everywhere.
But still, good quality typography is always in demand. It’s just not so crowded. Those who value quality keep going for it, while those content with cheap work continue to choose it.
You always pay a price when you go cheap, and tho circumstances can vary, no good perspectives open with a low quality product.
We’re already seeing junk AI-generated spam everywhere all over the place, and it’s no surprise—you’ve probably noticed low-quality visuals and sounds and code products out there, but now it’s getting even worse.
I hope we wouldn’t kill the internet with tons of shit like bacterias kill themselves with their own defecation in a petri dish experiment,
Let them be ugly. Time and value-compass will sort out all the garbage. If you want great, high-quality work, you can still get it.
Whoever is fine with low-quality junk will take it anyway. But those who care about quality will always pursue it.
In these fields, nothing works better than a well-trained, strong-willed genius men – and if that genius smartly uses some of those pretty well trained big data models, that’s gonna be fun.
I appreciate any tech despite it can be challenging, anyway we human must overcome ourselves – challenges for us is like swimming for a fish. You take it, you accept it, but the key is to focus on the quality, on universal usefulness.
And don’t be too much enthusiastic, critical thinking should be applied. There are some problems in reception of any of these new big tech today such as mass-hysteria boosted by the monopolized internet spaces as well as corporations trying to sell you their crap. Time will tell. Neutral position works well here. Focus on humanism always comes with nice results meanwhile capitalism can be wrong sometimes blindly hunting for the money and growth, loosing the real senses of our existence.
From black always goes to gray or from negative to neutral before positive.
Often is a mistake to binary see from sharp to sharp (although it can be useful in some ethical aspects or areas of will processing).
There is always a gradual phase movement of anything, for better efficiency try to catch the realistic mid step not straight to the final point.
