“Letters to myself”
A philosophical blog about everything
Ethics, aesthetics, society, technology, life, cosmos
I made it in February-March 2023. Yesterday, I felt it’s the time to finally release it.
Not so much the one who generated it, but the one who found, probed, filtered, shaped it…. and of course, felt, made and brought to life.
People are gravitating towards the human thing.
The result is always a product, a product in the meaning of something that is the output of formalized activity that has the potential to be useful to others.
There are reasons for the creative act, in the order of the value scale – realization of inner energy, cognitive needs, communication, commerce.
No amount of money, no amount of pleasure, no amount of play can cover the feeling that behind it all and behind it all is emptiness.
Stand alone at night in the silent darkness and realize that nothing can cover that emptiness.
Comfort can be made, yes; sometimes emptiness can be muted. But the void, the death, the depth… Everything material is essentially only temporary, vainly empty, a game, a trick…
But there is the spiritual and it lives, the great ideas and the rational, the spiritual is that which opens the understanding of emptiness.
Not all great ideas are reasonable and accurate, however, religions close the feeling of emptiness but also close the emptiness itself, that is in essence a kind of drug that closes off all feeling. There should be some field of emptiness left for better understanding for maneuvering of consciousness…
Loosen up style of creator action in music production (or other art) for example when you are relaxed and you don’t care about anything, you kind of allow yourself more…. that kind of music sounds more interesting and deeper, but there’s more marriage among it.
I recently came across one of my older works, from 2018 or so, I haven’t listened to it for years, And I found it very interesting, just an example of the above – uncontrolled experimentation
These are all two radical directions, like left and right in politics, like black and white in color, like plus and minus in essence. Reckless uncontrolled inwardly relaxed outwardly tense and ordered under-harmony taut, inwardly tense and outwardly smooth…
As an example of the second one, I’m thinking of a recent work:
Strictly by math harmony, scales, notes, by canons, by chords, aligned, rigid inside.
Finally, after many months of preparation, I’ve released three monumental albums/compilations of the best tracks I’ve ever made, in the three main spectrums of music: high-tempo, low-tempo, and no-tempo.
Initially the album names and covers included the years 2010-2023, but then I changed my mind and decided to let these albums be “live-periodically-updated”, so I’ll be putting some additional fresh greatest tracks there every year or so.
I’ve been making music since 2009 and I work hard for the quality. Music is one of the best things in life, absolutely real spiritual experience, it is a language with gods.
Economizing your intelligence – sometimes scrimping isn’t much better than splurging. Good quality, but only necessary things.
So smart that it’s dumb… all these modern smart stuff around tech – sometimes it’s better without those things.
Simpler is better. Sometimes you have to stop, not over complicate things.
The development of progress is a total accumulation of fortunate circumstances. The lucky events endure.
It is additionally filtered by life at a distance – the lucky villains and fools lose in the end, as well as all their legacy. Only what is not only fortunate but universally, humanistically optimal for people remains.
Just mechanically, technically, people are the key elements of progress. What is efficient for them is efficient for the prosperity.
As a potential consequence, in the distant future, there may emerge a singular, unified essence of auspicious circumstances. This represents the primary objective of life: to transcend the existing order and construct a new, perfect one.
To make something of high quality you have to make something of low quality before that.
It is always better to try to see all possible sides and not to allow oneself to concentrate on one, even if emotionally it seems more correct… Our brains are full of delusions and by nature a master of making up rationalizations for everything – even for what it doesn’t understand, what it doesn’t see.
As an example, evil, greed… what we used to see as bad, has different sides, – soil, food, slaves of evil – passive, lazy people… Evil as if it doesn’t even crawl in often and just tests the people, a little bit, here a small nasty thing, there – the common man eats it, evil grows. And what evil is there, if they themselves agree?..
In the end, death makes us all the same.
At this point in time, under the given conventions of our development, death is a good thing.
I realize we are still limited as a species, as minds, and in spite of having the capacity for higher intelligence, we are still primitive, and most of us are fools and bastards. It would be impossible to endure the routine of it all indefinitely…. death is necessary. Maybe like so many other things? But not everything. The universe strives for perfection but many errors occur. Like, why do we need wisdom teeth? Rudiments happen…
I’m ready to die at any moment so I’m not afraid of losing anything.
The realization of mortality makes life better. Life is like a video game, no matter what bad things happen, I am ready to play, and ready to turn it off in a very extreme case, that’s easy, in any case it has an end. Realizing the finality of my existence helps me appreciate time.
It’s all a flux, an endless filtering…
Spiral of progression
Black and white
Something and nothing
Prosperity and crisis
It’s all necessary, it’s all natural… spiraling through itself, thus the eternal motion of the engine of life is realized.
An inner screwing backwards… recoil… a sudden push like aversion forward… some bounce back. Then again…
It’s a circular movement, both sides are essential there, dark and bright, chaos and order; but actually progressing itself forward and higher.
It’s not the place that beautifies the man, it’s the man who beautifies the place.
The same can be said of destiny.
It’s not destiny that beautifies a man or a fortune, it’s the person who beautifies the destiny.
If a person is nice, deep mind, handsome and interesting, truly open and humanistic, then even poverty, even a hard struggle is good for the image of that person – it makes the reflection charming.
The progress is not only in comfort but also suffering and in its overcoming… sometimes evolution is a response to worsening conditions.
Have you ever noticed that in images the hero is beautiful and noble, even though he suffers and is poor and struggles, he does not become less beautiful, but even becomes more lovely?
The world is a very complex, messy and spontaneous place.
We’re human beings, and in our society and our systems of living, it’s even more complicated.
There’s randomness everywhere. Very, very much depends on luck… the wilder we are, the more our system and distribution depends on chance.
But this comes from an observer perspective only. How about a wider view?
To see not magic powerful evil, but confused, twisted, complex systems. Evil is pure human, a cheeky ignorance… that primarily the weakness of an element of a complex, entangled system, not something special. In general, the human world in general is very complex and complicated – it is a real challenge for us as a species to realize and process it all
An attractive inquiry is how perceptible and resynthesizable is the awareness of the complexity of our systems for entities wider than the system – that is, roughly speaking, if we see our world as complex, how could it be seen by say a god or a hyperhuman, an Übermensch…? Such thought experiments help to give some perspective and scales to the recognized
Or is complexity complicated in any case? Definitely not – because if something seems extremely complex to a child, say, the Internet or television, it doesn’t seem so to an educated adult. It depends on the level and breadth of awareness of the phenomenon, representation of it.
However, in any case – keep your mind clear. If the world is complex, systems are complicated, if you know it all and understand the flaws of the elements of entanglement, the immaturity of individual components, if you see and understand it all, you are calm in any case. Just let it be, let it test itself.
New big album – my already established tradition – for sleep and relaxation – optmay, almost done. Just a week or so to be released (tracks are complete)
Started writing philosophy in 2019 I came thru various ways on media, but originally it always was a grey colored, aphorisms alike flow. S.A.B, Cognitive Confluencem etc, now I feel I found solid suitable format for my thoughts.

The mind and reason are the key things to get with, of course if well seasoned with practical real life…
