Progressive, strong cultures always openly accept everything – races, sexual preferences, the darkness of severe mistakes (slavery, tyranny). Becoming even stronger. In fact, true power and strength they are always open-minded
Weak, defeasive, degenerate cultural flows are usually closed, forbidding, pompously threatening, hidding. Afraid of everything. Fragile.
So don’t be fooled and afraid by the pompousness of the power of weakness, real strength and power is always open, acceptable, calm.
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…
People have a natural tendency (convenience) to use a single large product.
A kind of basic natural monopolization. Just because sometimes it’s more convenient when everyone knows one thing, for example in communications.
In this context, sometimes it is good not to overthink diversity, but to make that single product available to the majority, but most importantly open and free. It can be protocols.
In general, the main thing here is the mass of passive people, not so much a dangerous the authoritarian approach in imposing, but a mass of immoral people, passively following the orders of their superiors.
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.
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.
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?..
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.
Ah, but how skillfully the corporations managed to outsmart the people by taking away control over their own devices, all under the guise of so called ‘security.’ If androids can still be brought back to life, unlocked, and given rights, then iPhones are in a terrible state – but it’s not surprising, after all, Apple is the worst. A golden cage of post-capitalist anti-utopia of digital serfdom.
Most people are indeed weakly free, but that doesn’t mean they should be kept de facto as such. That is, if people are treated as idiots, assuming they are supposedly incapable of anything, a significant part may indeed tend towards idiocy – but not because people are actually idiots (in fact, Homo sapiens as a species are quite intelligent), but simply because current social and evolutionary settings imply that it’s easier for ordinary people to go with the flow (what’s given is given). And consequently, if people are perceived as feeble-minded, they may indeed become so. It’s generally harmful, such an approach… But the reverse is also true, if people are accepted and respected on a basic level, then they will become even better people
Out of the two extremes – absolute control (based on the premise that ‘most people are bad, harmful, and feeble-minded’) and absolute freedom (‘let people be, and let them digest mistakes’), I choose absolute freedom.
Yes, restrictions are important to some extent – because what to do with fools…
But the path of restrictions leads nowhere.
While the path of freedom opens up variability, optionality, but there are still chances that fools in a free environment will be filtered differently, become wiser.
You can’t say that one extreme is better than the other. But there should still be as much freedom as possible, the ratio in the ordinary context – well, around 80 to 20 for sure…
We need to understand that restrictions generally is a very specific way on the perspectives of complex system development, not even on a minimal scale – a personal. By strictly prohibiting everything between elements there, you won’t progress much, usuallu it works better with a free, good understanding and love to the highest value for quality. Open will works better than a closed one.
Greedy cold capitalist monsters, overgrowths of corporations – don’t really think about security, restricting full access to smartphones or burdening the system every month with countless updates-bugs. They only think about how to make more money off the users-fools. More money is a rotten element of capitalism, leading to decay. In general, avoid large corporations as much as possible, actively seek and cultivate independence, freedom
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?
