some Philosophical aphorisms & critical reflectionS

  • 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.

  • Direct confrontation

    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

  • 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?

  • Paradox of Freedom, Stability of Expansion

    The paradox of freedom, first discovered by Plato, can be formulated as follows: unlimited freedom leads to its opposite because, without protection and restriction by the law, freedom sooner or later leads to tyranny.

    The first adequate solution was proposed by Kant: “The freedom of each person should be limited, but not beyond those limits that are necessary to ensure the same degree of freedom for all.”

    Freedom is a societal state rather than a personal matter. A subject’s field of action. No individual exists completely outside of a society. It’s not to be confused with free will – something that no one truly can take away from another.
    From that perspective, we see clearly that freedom is will for balance, and as any neutralizer it should be applied in same form for all elements; the law is a technique of freedom, set of rules to avoid bad precedents when an element foolishly destroys their own foundation.

    It’s interesting to note that a similar phenomenon applies to the expansion of a subject.
    Huge resources easily overwhelm an average person. People rarely grow in proportion to their bank account balance; instead, they are often “compressed” and “narrowed” by it.

    In fact, money distribution is generally a social phenomenon, it’s a property of system, rather than a personal matter. I’d not consider capitalism and socialism separately; both techniques should be applied together to give growth (capital and privacy) and stability (helping society); what is like with freedom: you do what you want and you’re welcome to grow, but you can’t harm others because you’re one of them.

  • Ethics and aesthetics when dealing with first impressions

    A useful method to check if something is suitable or not is to catch the very first impression, the very first imprint from the consciousness when you come into contact with something. Then examine it honestly, before any biases or preconceived notions influence your conclusions.

    What has already crossed our minds may be contaminated or masked either by our own thoughts or by the source of the content.

    This method can help filter out junk and noise because almost immediately, any perception is absorbed through the sponge of consciousness and is colored the subtext.

    However, that was primarily discussed in relation to aesthetics.

    Ethics can be manipulated through aesthetics, so you might need additional filtering.

    I refer to it as a “perspective filter.” When dealing with morals, laws, politics, or any other human-related issues, before forming an opinion, you usually make a basic examination of how it might unfold in the long run. Then, true “good” or “bad” may come to your internal eye.

  • Language is a map

    Language is a map of understanding, experiences transformed into a structured code.

    Knowledge is stable and reality-proven form of that code, while disinformation might not be actually real – it’s a phantom intended to generate quick profits regardless of consciousness.

  • Contemplation & consciousness: a memory and language related phenomena

    In the early years of life, even humans do not experience contemplation in the full sense of the word.

    There is merely an awareness of current existence, even before the formation of speech and the general conceptual apparatus. It is during this time that the first memories are formed…

    In other words, consciousness is partly shaped by the external environment, and naturally based on the foundation of mind and memory – the upper layer is language and memory. This is where consciousness further reflects and exists by itself…

    Were you, in the truest sense, in understanding and rational perception of the world before your first memories, that is, around the ages of 3-4 or 5?

  • Depth of darkness opens opportunities

    A human is designed in such a way that even wrong may benefit them. We inherit this from nature as a whole. Dinosaurs didn’t work out, so it did even better – just developed another scenario. 

    Depth of darkness opens opportunities. Some imbalance provides true balance. If anything were extra smooth and perfect, without any movement, there would be no good. Good is just other side of bad.

  • Movement is the essence, object – contextual

  • The skill of skeptics

    Why is skepticism preferable to dogmatism? Because recognizing flaws allows room for enhancement. The entire aim of existence is to continually progress, so that aligns seamlessly.

    The skill of skeptics is not being simplistic or unwise. You don’t question everything; you focus on key facts. Dismissing thoroughly researched and verified information is just irrational.

    Acknowledge that you can’t know everything. Don’t attempt to be “overly intelligent.” You truly can’t grasp every detail; just let it be.

    Sometimes individuals hold onto incorrect beliefs simply because they fear losing their investment. Release it, always.

  • Neuron is not transistor

    “The main unit of a biological computer is a nerve cell, or neuron, which is internally very different from a (computer chip) transistor.

    Of course, the code through which neurons exchange information resembles the code based on a sequence of impulses used in digital computing machines, but an individual neuron is a much more sophisticated unit for processing information than a transistor.

    Instead of just three connections with other components, a single neuron can have tens of thousands. A neuron operates more slowly than a transistor, but it has achieved much more in terms of miniaturization, which has been the main focus in the electronics industry over the past two decades.

    This is easily evidenced by the fact that the human brain contains approximately 10 billion neurons, whereas a skull could only hold a few hundred transistors.” – R.Dawkins
