Philosophical aphorisms & critical reflectionS

  • 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?

    Image Source

    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.

  • 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

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

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Reality of subjective

    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.

  • Whatever the struggle

    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.

  • Direct contemplatation

    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.

  • New sound

    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?
