Since 2017, I’ve been writing texts on philosophy, culture, and ideas.
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.
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.
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?

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 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.
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?
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.
Some try hard to build something… others try harder to destroy. In any case, everyone moves. Movement is the essence, object – contextual.
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.
“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
As about ai… To be honest I barely use it, although of course as a computers fan I know tech news well and have tried almost everything.
The thing is, I express not the emotions of a computer but my own. I feel… these things can’t be expressed in words. Words are another level. Can you translate music into words? Then why do you want to hear it?
To do what I must do, I need to try different notes, different pieces, to feel the final result — that yes, it is it, that it solidifies and affirms my feeling, my emotion, my way there. Experience and tryings.
It’s hard to explain this to a computer; it’s way too abstract and complicated to be just a couple of prompts.
In this regard, I would prefer a wider variety of sound synthesizers and image effects over direct artificial generators.
The same goes for texts and thoughts… a computer cannot express my thoughts, my view and understanding of the world, my perspective.
So far, the only place where I use neural networks is for correcting the grammar of my imperfect English…
Democracy… sooner or later, the crowd will elect a complete fool to lead… reflection.
The larger the crowd, the dumber it gets; the bigger the state, the more prone it is to mistakes and deception.
Leadership is better entrusted to the best people with experience, the most honest and intelligent, with an unconditionally clean reputation.
But the essence lies in size—small communities are more stable than large ones.
Redistribution of responsibility and loss of signal…
With the human as we used to know, any large country is, by definition, prone to collapse.
In the end, small structures will prevail, where the head of the community answers directly to the people who are nearby.
The fragmentation of countries into smaller entities is inevitable.
The secret to success in both evolution and survival is stability.
This is why forming prohibitive measures is less effective than adopting an open and positive approach, as maintaining prohibitions can lead to exhaustion over time.
Good scenario when you suggest nice and healthy alternative instead of prohibiting something.
People use big tech monopolists not because of their quality, but primarily because of their monopoly.
When a large monopoly is formed, ideally, it should be divided into a universally accessible and neutral service, similar to a library or basic healthcare in developed countries.
In the nineties, the world basked in prosperity, but now we find ourselves amidst a deepening recession.
The cycles in life imply that prosperity will return, only to be followed by another downturn.
These recessions are not merely periods of hardship but serve as vital intervals for accumulating strength, paving the way for dynamic renewal and introspective reevaluation.
Through these ebbs and flows, we undergo a process of profound reflection and purification.
Soon, there will be a significant number of unemployed intelligent individuals with aspirations. This situation presents fertile ground for revolutionary movements. Potential outcomes include the implementation of universal basic income and substantial restructuring of capitalism.
By default the internet constantly keeps you in tension. Too much noise.
One can’t focus deeply while in tension because real signals come with some space around them. Watch the dosage.
It’s not the theory of the dying Internet but the demise of individual corporate giants that grew excessively and at any cost, leading to their downfall. Refer to the death of these overgrown players instead
Despite the challenges, people will continue to rely on the Internet and adapt to its ever-changing landscape.
Group extinction is gradual, unlike intense individual competition.
