  • Life is like a race, fortune inversion

    Life is like a racing game – you are constantly not only supposed to accelerate but also to brake.

    One might say, for a dialectical comparison… a dictator of some sort or a billionaire or a pop star, always racing high without stops and seemingly fine.

    But actually no, he’s not fine – it’s an illusion. Living in fear, constantly pressured by surroundings and money, all the wealth to be vanish, such things tend to end up badly, thinking and stresding about death constantly when you got such much to loose… Cheap suffering. Not specially successful but especially foolish.

    In fact, resource-parasites are maniacs – can a maniac be really happy or successful?

    A true master power is never a billionaire nor a usurper of authority… rushing to crash is not wisdom or the highest class, it’s a disease – the inversion of fortune, a dishonorable scoundrel, cancer.

  • “This is not some kinda of special force but a mexican drug cartel”

    To avoid things like this, legalize all narcotics (but do not sell them in supermarkets around people, rather in far away suburbs or in pharmacies) so that the mafia does not have such a stable and solid stream of money.

  • About Russia, authoritarian war, normal people and beyond (2.3.24 updated)

    1

    Blatant, ignorant, grossly incorrect position openly stating that putin’s war of 2022 (2014) is supposedly a war of the Russians and that they want it – utterly false, those who say so, very likely work for the putinist system or are simply stupid – such tricks are called “shifting responsibility to everyone”, and just helps the wrong.

    No, no, and again, no. Those who are fighting there are mainly coerced or deceived unfortunate souls. As a person who has lived in Russia for many years, born and raised there, and interacted with a large number of people from various social groups, I can say for sure: most of russian people are not cannibals or imperialists; they are ordinary individuals concerned about ordinary things. They are much like people in Europe or America… but perhaps more socially divided, colder, somewhat tormented, and therefore not heavily involved in the political life… Remember how the past century has passed in Russia, how many victims of torture and misfortune these people have endured.

    The people there have many problems, and society itself is quite toxic. That’s why I immigrated from there long before the war. However, the country itself is not primarily responsible for the catastrophe; the actual crime stems from asshole usurper and terrorist putin and those so-called media and political “leaders” whose spoiled minds initiated it all. Normal folks simply go with the flow, silently obeying any sort of authority they’ve been given, except for the small number of smart, bright, educated individuals found everywhere. It’s sad but true.

    A certain layer of fools has emerged, believing in television propaganda fueled by their own stupidity, foolishly choosing to follow blindly. They are akin to those who worshiped donald trump in the USA or Germans who listened to hitler in past Germany – such individuals exist in every country. The system breeds them; they are simply fools, naive and ignorant.

    It is important to remember that this war is purely a farce and evil concocted by an indulged, talentless, worthless clerk named putin and his surroundings, and the punishment should primarily fall upon him and all his associates – family, close confidants, and henchmen, including officials and propagandists, all those who profit directly and indirectly from this senseless war, those who could have actually influenced and prevented but chose to participate…

    The Russian people in this context are primarily victims of that kgb born idiot and his gang, victims of post/neo-stalinism and all its consequences. World fixed hitler and germans but forgot same scale evil-stalinism and post-tsar russians. The enemy of Russia is within Russia… these bloated, insolent oligarchs and shameless officials, cynical and submissive people.

    There are normal Russians, and there are many of them. The task of the progressive world today is to realize this and work towards strengthening the youth and eradicating the festering core – the eradication of putinist system and the coercive model of values of the Russian generations past.

    2

    The problem with Russia is that any fool who came in 1999, not just Putin, would have entrenched himself and done the same nonsense, because Russians have been oppressed by their own state for centuries, with false and backward pseudo-frames of empty values and false ideologies, pathologically afraid of authority, passive and uncreative politically, socially. The system of values & open society structures “in a historical context” hasn’t had time to form in that country, so no special credit should be given to Putin, supposedly he’s the one who uniquely held on to power; Rather, he’s a bloodthirsty fool and an exceptional failure who managed to squander such an opportunity, because Russia after the collapse of the USSR was an excellent place full of potential – including freedom, free oil money, the boom of electronics and the Internet, educated young powerful people, but it squandered everything itself, because it’s apolitical, internally fragmented, corrupt, wrong cleaning of the roots of the USSR model: FSB/KBG greed, and void… KGB is a cesspool of poison and mediocrities – Russians had to disbanded and close it right after the collapse of the Soviet Union (actually it was just 30 years of slowly decaying post-stalinist regime) – all kgb/fsb/police/communist employees should be lustrated after, banned from working in state at all – with their attitude and intelligence, let them go to work as security guards in supermarkets. You have to start with politics and philosophy, and then build the economy. Or your economy will fuel wrongly motivated war or something like that.

    Neighbors and the world should actively help each other and their woes because we all live on the same planet… Europeans turn up their noses at Russians when they’re in trouble today, and it’s unfair because the same Europeans, Germans, Dutch, French, were actively friendly with Putin despite knowing he’s a murderer and a scoundrel, buying oil from him and making faces. But suddenly today they turn up their noses as if they are pristine and the epitome of civilization – when with Russians, they are close relatives and neighbors. Disgusting.

    Putin’s mafia system is all about money – capitalism disaster…take away his money and all his so called supporters in Russia, USA or France will disappear in seconds…its empty free oil money stolen from Russians (with help of other countries – all remember that world’s passive reaction to: Georgia 2008 war, too hard police on 2012 Moscow protests, 2014 Ukraine war) – but nobody helps Russians themselves today, even worse – civilized world condemns them… but for what?

    And now in this situation this new Hitler-like idiot will continuously spend all his money to make things even worse, to unbalance sleepy-comfortable-weak western democracies, to fund elections, invasions, billions for propaganda, billions to unrest Europe, all to keep this crazy fanatic illusion to save himself in Kremlin, to prolong his life anyway and to lose power.

    Of course russians must suffer – they must pay the price for their silent slavery, for the mistakes of isolation, for not wanting and not working on their freedom and their open society, for their rudeness, ignorance, subornation of false ideals like criminal romance or respect for disrespect, cowardly obedience to any even the smallest authority… on such a substratum bastards and vomit like stalin or putin are born and thrive… It is a giant regret that Ukrainians have to suffer for such a neighbor.

    I absolutely despise the russian thing in general as of today – for all its rottenness, weakness and emptiness… All this antiutopia – it is born and based not on the activity or talents of putinists, but solely on the passivity and slavery of the people there and individuals who like they say “we just ordinary people what we can do” or “I must following orders”… even don’t trying to understand what’s happening with their society, just shifting responsibility and looking for money. This is the subtract of fascism’s evils – silently obeying.
    But I believe and know that there is still lots of normal and adequate russians who do not keep silent and do not tolerate, we should remember.

    Yet if you look at the historical context broadly – including the collapse of Yugoslavia and the USSR, it seems quite likely and natural that Russia will collapse into several small states – because usually such big and empty structures like today (if not decentralized properly) are highly fragile and corrupt, – and for the people living there and their neighbors, it will be good.

  • Capitalism and socialism, what is better?

    Capitalism, unlike socialism, in the context of money in general, is a much more natural system. You accumulate money or borrow money, and there you have capital, for example. (Money is essentially the equivalent of human time invested by will). But does this mean it’s good? Many natural things are wildly and disbalanced. Darwinism is not applicable to human society because its level of complexity and entanglement is much higher and deeper than anything else on the planet, we need to balance our system by ourselves, find tricks and ideas to get better and more stable, nature can’t solve such short-time issues for us.

    In such an environment as capitalism, chance and luck play a significant role, and such factors need to be balanced – that is, integrated with socialism and distribution. But the key here is that the healthy core of capitalism – natural exchange, private property, and entrepreneurial ambition – is impossible and would be foolish to remove and flatten-align under the guise of socialism because those mechanisms are the system’s driver.
    A healthy solution is a mixture of socialism and capitalism – leveling the system from sharp hyper jumps and ultra-rich, but allowing the system to fluctuate and hum at a low to middle level, supporting each other…

    I would like to note separately – today’s USA as an example of concentrated capitalism – “suck money out of everyone and money-money-money: everything for money, regardless of quality” – an unevenly distributed society gradually slipping into crisis. Argentina, as an example of ultra-socialism – yes, everyone gets paid, they support the poor and the people, free healthcare and stuff – but they suffocate entrepreneurs – an extremely important essence for a healthy market and society’s progress- taxes, senseless bans, complexity – ultimately, the society is imbalanced and suffers. But by the way, both systems are democratic in nature – that is, flexible to change, and it may well be that both systems will overcome, heal themselves, and continue to live; at the same time, for contrast, if compared with Russia or China – whose economy was quite decent in its time as well as social support – until well known “middle income crisis” – but the closed institute of power and the tyranny of police and authoritarianism – that is, closeness – ultimately destroy any prospects, and if the USA and Argentina have more chances to weather the crisis, then Russia has more chances to collapse (top-down redistribution systems).

  • Creation, space, reflections

    A canvas, an empty prepared space – a place where my feelings and ideas converge and materialize when I create – whether it is a musical composition, visual, textual, an idea in the space of my thoughts. Post-experience framing.
    Once I perceived and received some data from the experience, then evaluated it (values are one of the most important philosophical directive of a human being), and then, based on a certain stack of values I reinterpreted it, added my own, maybe from the chaos I took a grain of fire… to fill this new space. The purposefulness of creativity… good if it brings benefit and new experience to other people, but also so it’s just my life – a game, a movement.

  • Ethics

    One of the main objectives of ethics is to provide a neutral (efficient) space (reasonable morals) of interaction between particles-subjects.

    But:

    “The first rule of ethics is this: If you see a fraud and don’t talk about the fraud, you yourself are a part of fraud. To be nice to an asshole is no better than to be asshole to a nice person, and in the same way to tolerate someone who does vile things is to indulge in those vile things.” -N.T

    Yes, evil things strictly require proper (not silent) answer; that necessarily balances the relationship-moral reality fields.

  • Large-scale systems

    The large-scale structures and systems of today’s humanity are very unhealthy: national large bureaucratic governments, corporations, closed standards…

    The very nature of such organizations implies low quality and instability, – weak feedback, no balance control, corruptibility.

    Small, decentralized, mixed all together systems is the answer. Scalability needs to be highly realized and adjusted – it is potentially dangerous for yourself and for the surroundings to grow and grow and grow… It is unfortunate that many people simply follow what they have been shown, without questioning it. This includes the majority of us who are considered ordinary and lazy.

  • Information wars

    Information wars… not as obvious as it seems, but dumb and stupid things work better for crowds, normals, underclasses; the paradox is that the bad (lying, aggressive, unfree) side often wins such stages – it is easier for them to lie, manipulate, twist, shuffle, shift information…. at a short distance it gives advantage, of course, but a little farther and such systems are prone to corrosion extremely. Truth ain’t so flexible at first glance but has got much more advances actually: prosperity, solidness, perspectiveness.

    In information warfare, in general today – in the ultra-information era – say no to snobbery, don’t get pretentious, work with the masses in ways that are understandable to them. If necessary and for the truth, for the good, it is permissible to manipulate information too, no less, in order to quickly reshape the enemy.

  • Boom of AI

    Artificial intelligence, I contemplate and think about it… for now, there are few good and positive thoughts despite of course the new technology is fascinating as usual, but so rapid and sharp development scares me – the media has changed extraordinarily – the space for manipulation has monstrously expanded – the line between the real and the virtual is blurring, and this is alarming – because as a species we are still quite primitive, greed and the most terrible trait in humans – submissiveness – dominate, that is, passively following orders from others and shifting responsibility, even if it’s utter nonsense – the brain conserves resources, the gradient of values in pursuit of pleasures and pseudo-social struggle within the capitalist framework (accumulate money, fill the belly, the rest doesn’t matter) is poorly formed.

    Speaking of the eternal confrontation between socialism and capitalism, the answer is quite simple – the key thing is to maintain a balance between conscientious maintenance of order and health-potential and the freedom for the development of the whole; and giving way the ambitions and ultra-willful aspirations of the individual.

    Humanity of the future is potentially a super complex system and its correction will take if not thousands but millions of years.

    Artificial intelligence, in the broadest context of humanity, is first and foremost a tool, another creation of nature… with proper regulation and shaping by norms and law – so as not to harm each other – this technology is undoubtedly useful in development and multifaceted.

    It’s all primarily about information – organized and perceived – reflected in the consciousness of particles of the world. Everything in the world carries information, and even what doesn’t know it, has the potential to carry it.

    Electronic mechanical computation and the generation of gradients and layers of data have the widest breadth but not depth. It’s still human reality, reflected and reshaped. Causal, thinking, feeling, and depth are human essence. Therefore, in terms of media and everything related to it, the widest reformatting of markets, consumption structures, and interactions does not yet mean its profound and depth reformatting – we are still humans and our essence is to survive, continue the species, contemplate and understand ourselves and the world around us.

  • Electricity in music and life

    The cell is powered by electricity from both sides of charge, and it’s quite powerful.

    If we were to compare the size of an atom to that of cell, then the concentration of electricity stored there in atoms would be equal to that of a lightning bolt.

    Life essentially is the continuous process of transferring electricity and protons.

    By the way, what is new music? It’s the sound of electricity. It’s shaped and organized, and its style can be chaotic or orderly, a mix. I prefer to call it “electric music” rather than electronic – “electricity” conveys the essence more accurately.
    Electric music is the span of synthesizer based creations before the 90’s, then we see something new: digital music, for example, glitch or sample based – still the electric tho.
    Possibly we can get fresh wave of really new music, artificial intelligence based, but still it’s kinda binary digital, maybe better wait for the quantum era.

  • Today’s version of most popular social medias destroy mental health and freedom

    Social media destroys mental health, especially things with so called smart feeds: tiktok, facebook, xitter, instagram, and all that junk: that’s a toxic, dangerous substance, should be avoided. Disaster.

    Of course, they gained much pseudo value and in realm of capitalism seeks to gain more, just because of the system – and managers of such formations – they got as fat as overripe fruit on a tree…. but what the tree itself – that is, society as a whole – received? – nothing, only rottenness.

    It is not like fashion,trendy or ultra modern. It is more like you overeating junk funk or drugs, compulsively drinking an ultra-sugared cola/soda with a chocolate bar after each one.

    You’re not being smart and “trendy” by doing this, you’re just destroying your mind and being exploited by corporations.

    Protect yourself and your children from it.

    I am not in a favor of hard banning, that’s just not really efficient, better try to reveal real joy of wisdom and health like books reading and minutes of silence; real, deep, weird, open-mind internet discoveries and tech, information freedom and cyber-reality independence.

  • Living and creating environments

    The work environment – work ethics.

    The environment of life – oxygen, water, certain temperatures, evolution principles.

    Outside the environment, life dies – the exchange of matters stops.

    Life is born in the environment (complex oxygen-based life was prepared for many millions of years by molecules and archaea).

    Masterpieces are born in the environment of proper work ethics.What is a perfect work ethic – first of all, stability of results, their quantity and variability; a correct work ethic implies habits and established flow, striving for high quality and selection, implies a natural, pure motivation – when you understand the essence and just do it, not artificial – when you are ordered or obeyed to.

    Just as in the past these primitive organisms prepared the environment for all life as we know it now – so that it could transfer electricity and protons between cell atoms more efficiently today, so today we are preparing the intellectual and information-industrial environment for the ultra intelligence next-life creatures of the future.

  • ASSORTED: Various short thoughts and quotes:

    Aesthetic study: self-identification and merging with things, the image is transcribed onto the screen of reality.

    “Never share personal stuff with anyone except your spouse maybe. Especially work people. You are going to find 1 maybe 3 people in your entire life you can really trust.” – Random comment from The Internet

    He was accustomed to dealing with soldiers and civil servants, whose job is to obey orders.” – T.Chiang, “Understand”

    Where there is power, there is the potential for fascism. A healthy system – decentralization; complex systems… better to have frequent small disturbances and regular training than long periods of pseudo-stability punctuated by infrequent but significantly challenging disruptions.

    “Moreover – he surmised that it’s not the most skillful, intelligent, or brave who succeed in life. Rather – quite the opposite. The one who wins is skillful. The one who triumphs is brave…” – S.Dovlatov

    If are about to be a genius and you have anything else to do besides work, that means you may need to change your job.

    “Arabs have an expression about clear prose: to understand it, no skills are needed; to compose it, true mastery is required.” – N.Taleb
