Oversaturated capitalism transitions into oligarchies
Share / Comments: Oversaturated capitalism transitions into oligarchiesThe difference in rights is not equal to the difference in opportunities.
Capitalism without humanism smoothly transitions into oligarchies and fascism.
We are all people… it’s okay to want the best and strive for wealth, but one must stop, neutralize, and help others at some point of growth.
It’s easy to manipulate and deceive poor desperate tired people, but one day they will come to take revenge.
Blind money hunting distorts people’s focus from men, nature’s best creature – and our most important value; causing irreparable harm.
Concentrated power leads to mistakes. Learn how to organize that in a smart and decentralized manner instead.
Open society, critical thinking, real ethics, and morals work well balancing such systems, democracy and freedom also helps a lot, but these values don’t grow out of the primitive ‘get pleasure today and die tomorrow’ reptile brain.
Understand the big social structure and why we need each other. Narcissistic personality is an illusion. It’s good to be a great individual, but you’re nothing without all the people, brothers and sisters. -
Filter emotions
Share / Comments: Filter emotionsIt’s perfectly normal to seek an emotional filter today.
Emotions are often perceived as uncontrollable, but they can be managed through careful understanding and a cool, neutral perspective.
Emotions can be exploited, causing harm, especially in political and mass media contexts.
Art can also exploit emotions, such as the pseudo-sad piano melodies often used in cheap movies to evoke suffering.
Pure art and real life, on the other hand, provides straightforward explorations of feelings rather than manipulation.
For instance, a filter could be formed through indifference and neutrality (the famous “I just don’t care” soap), as well as awareness of the universal scale and our disproportionate relationship to it.
This awareness can also bring to light our own mortality and the fact that many people are imperfect and only seek to manipulate and sell us something rather than seeking universal usefulness and truth.
Any filter can barely touch the pure and genuine emotion; it finds its place deeply within. You simply try to maintain their higher quality, stability…

Random
Share / Comments: Random“A mind that, at any given moment, knows all the forces that set nature in motion and the position of all the atoms that comprise it, and is vast enough to subject these data to analysis, could encompass in a single law the movement of the biggest the smallest; for such a mind, nothing would be unclear, and the future would appear before it just as clearly as the past.”
I’m certain there’s a pure random in the universe because it’s an essential part of the grand balance.
Even if you possessed complete knowledge, how would you exist knowing each of your own subsequent steps?

Noble gases

Humanism
Share / Comments: HumanismA competent philosophy is the religion of the person of future
Dogmatism is irrelevant, it just doesn’t move
Ask questions and find answers. Make mistakes and improve
The universal answer is the human and the community
What is a technology without us? Ain’t nature already tried enough to create something truly wonderful?
The main answer lies precisely in the people, their freedom, and the beauty of their development

Ways of chaos
Share / Comments: Ways of chaosDisasters and chaos are part of evolution.
Always be prepared for the worst. Face bad calmly, and know how to accept as well.
If something happens, it always happens with a cause, let it be. Bad things eventually would not be able to pass time’s test.
Sometimes you just accept and move forward.
Keep mind clear and cold.
Truth may not pay much today, but over a long distance, it always wins.

Philosophy of Sound
Share / Comments: Philosophy of SoundWhatever music style you create, if it’s cool, original and not banal, then it’s great and deserves to live
Half-broken harmony breaks hearts and works farther than straight perfection
Pure pleasure is always a bit illusionary
Today, I prefer major for ambient and minor for everything else -
Simple Strategies to Stay Focused and Productive
Create a methodology to organize an efficient workflow amid chaos by aligning it with your abilities and environment. Focus on positive aspects to ensure sustainability.
Incorporate small strategies. For example, schedule activities like exercise or work tasks immediately after daily routines like breakfast or a shower. Reading books while charging your phone or watches works well as example.
Base your self-management system on positive incentives—a proactive agenda—rather than prohibitions. Understand why you enjoy tasks and are motivated to do them.
Begin the day with high priorities: tackle the most important and difficult tasks first, saving less critical ones for later.
Occasionally, you may need to exert willpower, but usually, applying positive-based management is more effective.

Form of theft

Who wins
Share / Comments: Who winsIt is not the sophisticated intellectual who wins people, but more often those who are more lucky, those who managed to convince folks in a simple way
The one who is more cunning and assertive, who is bolder, wins. Sophisticated mind is not a first thing to work with normal people. It’s great if he’s smart at the same time, but a thin mind tends to slow down the movement a lot.
An intellectual need to be able to be brazen, especially when working with the masses
Who is really smart must accept this reality and adapt correspondingly

To feel the beauty
Share / Comments: To feel the beautyWhat is a real thing of a creator is that to be able to feel the signal among the endless stream of mess, to see and predict that reflection, to hear the one, to choose a perfect combination, to find an order, a solution
Or with style… to be able to cut, to remove unnecessary.
That’s what is valued, that is what important for the people when they need the creator.
Not the stream, but its filtering, after all, the understanding of the flow itself.

Don’t pay attention
Share / Comments: Don’t pay attentionYou need to be able to distinguish noise around you
Things that are better not to notice all kinds of small percentage fluctuations: what’s output makes little game in general, there is a lot of such
And there are also things that are better to ignore directly
Things/People/Data/Events/Whatever
Focus on signal but know the noise, our energy is limited, spent it accurately

Leisure
Share / Comments: Leisure“High wages make leisure too expensive.”
Leisure is needed but of a good quality; for example, without consumption or anything hard; you just give free space to mind to explore
Freeform mind drifting is an essential part of a well trained understanding

Running and fussing
Share / Comments: Running and fussing“You should not just be the best, you should also be the luckiest”
Be able to accept what you have.
You can’t control luck but you can ignore it and move by your own.
Plans to be build upon the worst.

Everything new still has to pass the time test

Wars
Share / Comments: WarsWars rarely end with an absolute winner. All sides usually lose far more than they gain.
Post industrial “homo sapiens” were not supposed for that, it’s a big step backwards, only weak places of complicated social mistakes lead there, usually it’s just about poor managed authority.
Resort to physical fight only as a last measure of protection.
Warfare as we used to know it is outdated, in future fights to be intellectual and ideological, prepare your mind, minimalism and critical thinking to be useful. Nature always needs some movement and rotation.
After capitalism collapses, human brain to be most valued resource out there, nothing be better than a team of geniuses. But that requires a specific, well prepared environment, a next step.
Money and tech are empty values without people, this decaying era folks blind to see real gold is between them.
