  • Internet is above them

    Internet is an supra-state entity.
    It’s an extraordinary phenomenon in our history, like the domestication of electricity.

    After all, who ever said that countries, especially in the decadence of today’s fashion of so called “nations” – actually overgrowth weak bureaucracy/money hunting systems, are something ultimate, finished? Just because it was suitable at some point in our evolution doesn’t mean it will be suitable after that. Mankind is waiting for a completely different organization structure, a one to be closer to the perfection of balance and symmetry.

    Let’s say they can even block it, turn it off, but in this way they block and turn off themselves, their economy and growth. The pressure of the technological evolution is quite a serious event, in fact.

  • The two sides

    In general, all forms of creative art can be divided into two categories: dark and light, i.e., warm and cool, serious deep and lucid – affirming and joyful.
    In short, there are two extremes of feeling and emotion, and two extremes of up or down.
    Black and white.
    Minor-major.
    With shades and combinations varying from one to the other.
    But categorically no other is possible.
    There is also gray: neutrality, futurity, technology, but it’s still a cool essence.

    Why just those two? There are things that there is no point in asking questions about… There are and there are, + and -. What’s given is given. We look at the whole – there is yes, and there is no. Literally at the basic level of atomic perception there is a plus and there is a minus – at the level of electric charge, even at the level of energy distribution…

  • Emptiness

    There is no such thing as absolute emptiness.
    But there is the idea of absolute emptiness.
    How empty is that idea?

    I know what emptiness is, it’s when I’m not there… and the mind tries to go back to the place where it wasn’t and realizes it was empty.

    So doesn’t emptiness equal absence?

    The idea of emptiness is space without thought.

    Absence is a relative notion.

  • Look at unknown…

    Look at unknown people with kindness and neutrality, like you would look at your future doctor.

    It is important for us to maintain peace and balance, ethics, aesthetics, decency… Until you see for sure that the person in front of you is an asshole, give him some trust, at least a little.

    But never fully believe in anyone. Most people are stupid, lazy and selfish after all. Always keep your privacy and personal security at a reasonable level, especially today.

  • Problems of capitalism, public structures and money

    In the jungles of modern world’s capitalism, in a huge big company… they’re not aiming to make just a good product.

    They’re just trying to make a product that will sell well.

    Values there don’t aim a healthy, beautiful, prosperous society, but only to fill their own pocket with money, no matter if letting other people die.

    That’s completely wrong because we are all connected, we are all fruits of the same tree – the tree of life, we share the same home – the earth, we share the same roof – the sky.

    Value, quality, perspective? All these things are unimportant in the mainstream of capitalism today – just to sell, just to promote, just to hold on to their position.

    We live in times of anti-humanism. Money and greed have conquered ordinary people. The sudden ultra-globalization of markets and sharp information revolution has only increased the masses of fools.

    Systems and organization of resource and energy fluxes corresponds to the volume and geometric structuring of the environment – that is, what is the composition of the flow of people and their labor, its complexity and depth, so their self-organization and regulation of efficiency.

    Today’s model is inefficient… our world is in crisis. With globalization and ultra-productivization, the money-market model of generations before yesterdays – of capital accumulation and distribution – is becoming increasingly irrelevant. As if feudalism were today. Actually what we see, by the way – the profound absurdity, the inappropriateness to progress and the common good of techno-feudalism of overgrown bureaucratic based, authority biased corporations and states.

    All these systems work well on a small scale, adaptation is needed when outgrowing them. Laws, society, companies, money…

    The next systems to be decentralization, universal basic income, and the rejection of money as the main stimulant of production.

  • Wrong way

    Today’s state of Iran, China, Russia – reminds me cancer… Maybe some other times they might be interesting cultures, but not today. Politica defines general cultural flow…

    That all looks very similar to an organism. Malicious elements sucked in like parasites, destroying everything around them, doing no good, unwilling and unable to leave.

    The best people furiously leave those places. Such systems are doomed to decline in the long distance.

    Growth for growth’s sake… but what’s the point of your growth, what’s the purpose?

    Overgrown big tech – an another example of general system-scale wrong-values directed degeneration. They’re all rotten: techno-fascists; we’re sick of paying, the market is monopolized. We should have thought of this earlier. It’s hard now. We’ll have to clean up this mess. Most people are lazy dumb suckers, that’s why all this crap can grow: on the passivity and ignorance of the masses.

    Education is not about getting rich and converting science and school into money, as is common today… how utterly pathetic is that! Education is to develop culture and values, to avoid such unfreedom, blind money chasing, general decadence.

    Live free or die trying, never obey to the idiots or money. You not a special one, you’re just a fruit on the tree of life, care the general usefulness at first. Anyway you’re going to decompose soon.

  • Balancing aesthetic: the base prevails

    Aesthetically, even if one likes the colorful (for example, in clothes), it is normal and acceptable, and sometimes it might even be good, but one must remember to balance it with the “base” – the garnish – “rice”, “bread”, that is – the simple.

    Aesthetically, but also ideologically. Balancing it with simplicity.

    Black, white, gray, beige, blue…

    In music, by the way, rhythm plays an interesting balancing role in this context

  • Criminal romanticism


    Criminal romanticism (idealization of criminality and everything lower-class – rude, insolent (for example, it’s also inherent in the majority of hip-hop) is deeply and universally spread in Russia (peak – 90s and post 2000s), because the Russian state and its cultural code are very rotten, started even before the USSR, and became especially stinky after the Bolsheviks’ times, today we can see kinda the same disaster, it’s evolution: neo-stalinism (authoritarian idiot-dictatorship with deep passivity of most people, a highly damaged and corrupted set of values that feeds the people who govern and follow orders) – cannibalistic and absolutely useless

    For defense and sense, ordinary people unconsciously look for strength and loyalty in seemingly foolish and absurd criminal romanticism (a light touch of peculiar aesthetics also sweetens it).

    As a result, the same people who were resentful of their own state and fed by this romanticism come to power in Russia (in modern societies, it’s still randomness that often decides the scenario: very often accidental people come to power, that’s why we need to establish democracy, it protects against over-powerful, over-confident fools), and the state becomes even worse, losts any bits of ideology, spreading just cheap cynicism everywhere, even more cannibalistic, eats its own people and craps under itself. That is, there is a vicious circle, when it is worse, and then even worse.

    There is no way and no future, just as there is no good present without humanism and framing of big, good values; criminal romanticism is a sign of a weak, sick system, rotten cancer-alike values, it’s not Dionysus, it’s just an unhealthy degeneration, a dead-end code.

  • Fool-proof protection in economy?

    Democracy is a protection from too much power taken by a fool. Politically…

    But what is our moron-protection economically, socially? What defense is there against evil oversized corporations and their dumb managers? After all, random still rules the human staircase, and not the best people come to huge money and resources economically, but most often – on the contrary. They destroy the market and quality of life, even on democratic platforms…

    At the basic level – deliberate consumption, boycott and refusal in favor of small alternatives and free and neutralized systems. In general, it is good when people are intelligent and reject corporations and bad companies. But often the market is brutally monopolized, everyone and everything is bought up, and it becomes more difficult.

    Absolute freedom – this idea sounds beautiful, but it is beautiful for beautiful people and an ideal, absolute world. Our world is full of fools, and what is even more realistic – of the highest complexity and confusion, so there is no place without regulations. In fact, regulation begins even with a quality personality – personal self-management and below.

    There should not be super rich and mega corporations, it is a bad sign – a tumor. And among other things, such structures are extremely complicated and inefficient, both at the level of economy and politics, by the way. Decentralization, redistribution. Best people don’t need countless tons of money, they will distribute the energy into an efficient system of universal humanity usefulness.

  • mittnetworkmusic: new Iksnx, other details

    New Iksnx album has been released.

    In December 2023, when I was working on jazz albums and beats, among other things and I happened to have an interesting sketch, I added acid riffs to the downtempo groove… and then it was decided to make an album like this.

    The main material was prepared in December and January, but I had to finish some more tracks in March and April to complete the 60 minutes timeline because it’s an audio cassette album. The current digital release is also a copy from a cassette – I sometimes use magnetic tape for the final releases, it adds style’s important vibrancy, nuance and groove. Still you’ll be able to find pure digital hi-fi version in logicandsound’s store after June 2024 or so. As about artwork, I did the cover in a couple of days using various Linux graphics glitches, that green man was drawn by my closest friend a year ago.

    This album has a brother – another Iksnx/yoijerg but with instrumental jazz beats style, without electric instruments… both these albums were born in the same period, but I will release the second one much later, maybe in a couple of months… right now I have the new spacey ambient intelligent 1300p and complex opmay in the pipeline.

  • Just the human thing

    What is a country – it is not land, resources, borders, ideas of history… it is about people, their society, community, the organization and structure.

    Don’t take complex illusions about any big fiction ideas of historicism, a country is just a current state of communities, it’s a human thing.

  • Regulate AI asap

    The main problem with AI is not the technology itself but the fools who use it for all sorts of bad purposes.

    So called artificial intelligence (content generators) requires regulation and legislation as soon as possible today, it is a very dangerous technology and the first danger is the people themselves – there are too many fools among us so it is likely that the majority will drown in their own crap of spam, nonsense, and tastelessness, propaganda and lies generated by the tech.

    While the real talents, the wise men and creators may lose their already few chances to reach the crowd, lose their already minimal share of attention to keep the balance fresh.

    Disinformation and spam, intoxication of the flow of information, the primary signs of disease.

    With today’s weak stack of by-money-corrupted values and morals of the early digital era of hyper capitalism and globalization where most people survive and eat each other, a middleman has a very weak notion of decency, duty, quality, honour, he literally will easily sign a bill to your death or to his own degradation for the sake of money or his career or that pseudo “stability”, without a doubt. With artificial intelligence, they are going to contaminate everything and choke themselves even faster than before. Already today search engines are full of false empty information generated by the bots, all big sites are full of spam and bots and cheap low-quality content.

    An epidemic of spam and misinformation…

    What good has content generators (“AI”) done so far besides spam and misinformation? This technology is potentially useful – but for the smart, for the trained and talented people. But it can be dangerous for the masses, dangerous for the idiots, for the evil (remember – evil is blatant ignorance) – we’ve got so many of them in our world. This technology needs to be discreetly shielded by laws and regulations.

    Because most people are greedy morons… it’s getting harder and harder to navigate the information space. But information is everything.

    To survive in this world you need to train your senses, your intuition for information, your bullshit filter. Build real connections.

    The world is getting more and more complicated.

    And don’t forget that today, in the era of the monster corporations, tightly blocked by monopolists and AI internet, independent creators need support and cohesion especially urgently today.
