  • Day by day

    Think of every day as a special day.

    Think about it first thing in the morning.

    Plan it out.

    Think of every day as your last.

    Never hurry. Death and fortune are not worth it.

    Know how to rest… know how to rest well – the best rest is to do nothing at all, to be at peace, lying or sitting, or even walking or cycling, it doesn’t matter, what matters is the emptiness of doing nothing, rest of the brain itself – to contemplate thoughts or the world, to regain strength and will.

    Life is not a random phenomenon or magic. It is just the very essence of complication and selection of (chemical and physical) dynamic processes, any chemical reaction develops complication and selection among others (the most efficient processes get more space and energy, gradually the process of organization of reactions takes place).
    Far more questionable in this context is the universe itself and its programs of formation, probability and selectivity.

    “Philosophy is the art of rational assumption.” …by flashlight of the reason to find and illuminate, to understand – where to go and how.


    A religious person is first and foremost a superstitious person. (8)


    The death of the arts and crafts with the advent of powerful artificial intelligence? Yes and no. Above all, it is the evolution of the decorative; AI is wider, not deeper. Something will go away, certainly, especially basic mind labor. Real pure art, on the other hand, is inseparable from man. It is the sense of man, his feeling, his connection – not of machines.


    Molecular theory of music – melodies are like looped molecules, like an odor or a scent.


    Values… what values does the art of music evoke when I try to make new music, is that value real? Or just an exploration of the new, i.e., an act of learning?


    I can be wrong. I can be wrong and that’s okay and I’m not afraid of that, the important thing is to realize the conclusions and move on. We can all be wrong and that’s totally okay. Absolutely eliminate all fear and defense of your own mistakes which makes it even worse usually. I can make mistakes and step back to start again. It’s a good, normal process. It’s much worse when you bury your mistakes, hide them, layer them, therefore multiply them.


    Finding, formulating, and posing a problem is more important than closing it, especially in arts discourse. Most problems are stretched over time. Entropy… as long as you live, you learn and solve problems. It’s a game.

    My thoughts are directed into cosmos and from cosmos always… from there and only from there and through it one can soberly realize all the processes taking place on earth.

  • Habits, simplicity

    Habits and understanding of their mechanics, mechanisms of routines, flows and time-stretching processes is one the most important thing of all regarding quality of our life, happiness, balance and productivity. You can manage yourself to 95% anything

    You can accustom or wean yourself to anything with a series of attempts – if you have the intention (the intention is formed by values).

    Our brain itself, despite all its flaws, is very good and flexible, but we need to construct a desire – aka will, motivation and awareness of values, of quality.

    All sorts of grooves-tracks (for flow) in the brain are formed by life… habits. You can change them. The main thing is to believe, to be patient… Habits can always be corrected. The main thing is to remember that it’s real and possible – that the brain is flexible and you really can change almost anything about it.

    Using such strategies and understanding, I managed to successfully quit many things: smoking, drugs, toxic people, sugar, social media and mass media internet; and vice versa – to habituate myself to the important – for example, establishing the daily flow of work (hitch – hang the habit on certain “unskippable” parts of the day, for example, do work after breakfast, or after lunch, or before bed), or to do daily sport (just choose sport you love…) and eat healthy food: abruptly forbid sugars and any ultra processed “super-market” products, leave for example honey and vegetables, fruits, raw cereals, enjoy it (it’s actually good, after all), try to come up with interesting dishes out of them, then you get used to it – and that’s it, done. I also gave up brands and expensive things, in clothes and equipment I use simple and basic, and a little – but reliable and high quality. If tech, avoid corporations, over-complexity, get used to open source, it’s stable it’s reliable. I always strive for simplicity and clarity, anti-fragility.

    You can do it. If not the first time, but the second, tenth time. Yes, many attempts, but hard focus on the quality, on perspective.

  • Pareto Principle, 80/20, entropy, quality

    As in a society where there are few intelligent hardworking people and many lazy fools, so in the world as a whole, for example, even in countries – there are few good, free and efficient systems, but a lot of poisonous tyranny and lawlessness, degradation, foulness. [Not only today’s crap evil circle of Russia, China, Iran, but also almost 80% of world: most of Arab and African, most of South American and Asian countries, actually the real democracy is not something easy and “natural”, it’s an expensive and a golden balance thing, even today’s few free countries tend to degradation at some level like the USA of today or that sleepy over-comfortable weak Europe).

    With software, games, music, food, everywhere and everything of people’s being… Is it true that there is a law that 80 percent of everything is crap, and only 20 or even less is good?

    Sometimes I’m under an impression that it’s temporary, that we’ll all become smart and noble or that progress will happen everywhere someday… But what if it’s just an illusion of the mind’s’ “self-positivity heal”, and always and everywhere, all through life, all centuries, 20 will pull 80?

    A little dialectical method for clarification. Let’s look aside, for example, at the structural distribution of the general whole species diversity, say, insects – can we say that 80 percent of insects are bad? No. In nature, due to various circumstances, some species die off, but since the system of life as a whole is decentralized and balanced cleverly, every species did not come from nowhere. But the other issue is that it took a lot of time and testing-fitting for each kind. Vast time-space amounts comes to balance such systems, we barely feel that short terms’ 80/20 filtrating.

    Is 80/20 applicable to human only, and in the stages of becoming? After all, the human is a stage of becoming, it is not something ready-made, it is a bridge.

    Man is a bridge to the superhuman of the future, to robots and super-computer-machines, ultra-matter cyborgs… we are just like microbes from the distant past, preparing the environment for future super beings.

    80/20 is relevant to short range outcomes of highly complex and complicated systems – fast and sharp at the breaking point. The high complexity and intricacy of our current system of all things “human”, are two consequential effects – rapid, chaotic progress, and a large amount of influx of bad stuff cut off in the process.

  • Cognition and experience

    They say that the purest knowledge is empirical, that is, based on direct experience. But experience can be deceitful, e.g. optical illusions or logical experiments of dual interpretation. After all, understanding is the primary of the mind and of it’s director: the reason.

    A simple experiment: imagine the smartest man, the best mind system in the universe. That man needs to live and cogitate a little and then he’ll understand it all, a whole system will form in his head. It will be reflected, organized, prepared, and then be visible. But still the man needs at least a minimum of time to gain an experience of the actual and the reality in which the mind finds itself in order to reflect and formulate the cognition.

    Reason and the power of intellect, packed in a well organized mind are the key crucial forms of knowledge. Logic, mathematics… But experience is still the highest, most important, practical way. Actually, cognition is a competent qualitative connection, refinement and reforming an experience into human knowledge.

  • Culture, information, entertainment, style

    Don’t underestimate highest importance of culture and entertainment, as it is said – “bread and circuses”, 50/50, but actually it’s about 30/70 bread/circuses. Not for nothing even monkeys have a lot of leisure – in the world and in nature in general it is not common to work yourself to zero, leisure is immanent and necessary to every creature.

    Man is defined by the information he surrounds himself with and the information that surrounds him.

    Professional sports – they create information food, we can’t see it but it is a tangible reality – pieces of information in space. People literally eat information… It’s true that there are different kinds of information diets.

    Why do movie celebrities get huge sums of money and ordinary actors get small sums of money? In the essence they might be similar… The answer is simple – recognizability, to attract attention to information. In information flows people cling to familiar faces, familiar objects, as if orienting themselves in space, as a kind of guarantor of certainty, not to lose time. But, sometimes even familiar objects get bored, reduce their reputation, quality, style.

    Style is the deepest basis of any essence. If there is a best – it is very stylish. The best is all on style. Style is not just the decoration, the design of an entity, its the conceptual core… not for nothing deep in the very rudiments of its history mankind has already decorated and created information.

    The best style and the highest wisdom is simplicity, clarity. Not the simplicity of the primitive, unimaginative, undeveloped, or the simplicity of a fool; but a profound simplicity, when the whole essence has been understood and all the stages have been passed through. The best filtered through.

  • New DAS

    Finally I found time to prepare and release the new long-waited DAS album I’ve been planning in my head for over 4 years or so… this is the real sound of DAS – very experimental. It consists of tracks made at very different times, some just recently, some a couple years old demos.

  • Values determine motion

    A man’s set of values determine his motif morality and motivational attitude, motion.

    For example, why do some people today serve foolish mole dictators worthy only of scorn? They are philosophically lost, do not understand values above primitive ones – they only want to fill their bellies, supposedly financially secure, not to take risks, to warm themselves in a pseudo-stability – they do not see values above and do not feel them – both those who directly execute criminal orders and those who just passively acquiesce to all this – they do not understand freedom and perspective development of the whole. This is what drives repressive officers, internet bots, passive silent people, schizophrenic lawmakers – distorted values and moral vagueness within these people. Oversized bureaucratic systems are particularly vulnerable to the lack of values because, besides their mostly senseless over-complexity and fragility, they do not bring any values.

  • Breakdowns, becoming, polarization, consciousness: various thoughts

    Man develops through random failures and all sorts oof other circumstances through the properties of his fragility.
    That is, the movement, the flow of life… Whatever he encounters, and what is actualized by experience, it is forged as a form. Either by breaking, or by making.

    Dividing into total fools and ultra smart
    Today there is a clear tendency and systematic polarization of people, avalanche-like flows of information and new technology seem to flood the ignorant and primitive, raising above and hardening the smart and sharp.
    Already here: on facebook and other same places old people and rednecks are believing, liking and actively commenting on blatant nonsense junk pictures generated by so called AI tech – even though AI is still scary and primitive – and posted for the purpose of getting money or attention by other but sort of higher fools – the middle layer of pus between fat and meat: greedy hustlers and crooks.
    And no need to say about the situation with political propaganda, populism, seduction of the masses by medias and bot-farms, there is no point in even mention: that already got big a influence, everything is obvious there – the masses of fools are growing stronger and more numerous…
    Polarization into idiots and ultra-smart people is rising like never before.

    “Human consciousness is basically a collection of neuron cells that continuously builds models of the external world and predicts their behavior.
    What is consciousness? What is the ON state of a phone stuffed with sensors and internal programs that calculate and model incoming and outgoing data?

  • Silence is golden

    The brain is not perfect – it is only “one of the early versions” of the mother nature’s self-empowered calculation-reflection machines.

    Huge, gigantic time segments of the cosmos, on which quantitative and qualitative changes take place, are extremely distant to us in terms of sensations.

    The reason is not perfect either – though when it wants to be, it is close to it. The reason can feel the god – but not those bootleg religious forms of mythology – rather simply the Highest.

    God is an entity not cognizable in the usual sense of the word – especially within the framework of still quite primitive homosapiens… the very word and concept of god as we used to know it is already a skewed, vulgarized idea…

    You can’t see some things anyway, like what is beyond the blackness of the universe – no way…
    You can feel, you can suggest, but feelings are tricky.

    All religion is just dogmatic fairy tales and propagandistic beliefs – Hollywood and images, self-deception, it’s all about average minds and below. A sense of the higher but corruptly reinterpreted into the lower.

    And even though the reason can sense the higher, it is still stuck on the guts and blood of our everyday life.

    We’re just a transitional stage to the perfect machines of the future.

    But still we’ve something, the essence is to pass this stage, to make it beautiful, clear, not to fall apart and not to shit ourselves, not to destroy our home… Man’s mission and his essence is in his work, in the aspiration to the highest.

    Live and die peacefully, at any moment, and let it be.

  • Degrees of freedom

    Freedom is a necessity for society, and in any case it will come to this because the best, intelligent people will not be intimidated anyway, they will still act in their own way, within the categorical imperative of the mind in the pursuit of the highest quality and development of life… and who drives progress but them – any unfree regime is doomed to slow decay, in fact.

    However, it is important to realize that freedom is a concept close to legal law and balancing, it is not an absolute category. All freedom is good in the context of the virtue, sanity. It is nice when in a structure there are more noble, smart and honest than ignorant and dirty, equality and freedom, such an intelligent environment will be higher. But if the society is barbaric and broken, restrictions are inevitable. Basically, as with man… if a person is well-balanced, controlled to the highest degree – can afford a wider range of actions… A sick, angry, addictive persons need support and restrictions until they become stronger.

    Yet despite all the little things and details, mother nature has something beyond our understanding – great mechanisms and principles of self-balancing systems – in general it’s simple – everything bad naturally falls off and dies – but it takes time …

  • Society as a whole

    Society is a whole entity, like a tree or a living organism… blind Darwinism applied to such a structure is blatant ignorance.

    Man is a variable being.

    Fortune and chance, unpredictability and randomness play too big a role.

    People who are pompous, egotistical, arrogant, superior, biting others, deceiving their own brothers, swaggering and lavish – do not understand much.

    Don’t be like that. Always respect others, be delicate and sensitive, silent and careful. Don’t be loud, don’t be pompous (if aren’t an artists or a clown), don’t show off. Be easy on people and yourself… Never attack first. Remember randomness and complexity. We are all in this together, we are all under the same sky.

  • War is dead

    War is dead. With the invention of nuclear weapons, war is no longer possible.

    The highest value on earth is human life… It is indeed the most complex, beautiful and valuable of all things. The stage of bloodshed has been passed and should be, we are somewhere on the verge…

    The war is dead. But the battle of minds will continue.

    Those who still play war today, especially those who start them, are hopeless fools.

  • Aesthetic nature of destruction and order

    Is the idea of destruction attractive? Yes, just like order… all this seems to be a part or a general composite model of something general and whole. What happens when we feel, express “attractive” – the inner self reflects the outer and is energized, the cognition forms itself then

    Reception of destruction, of order… sometimes we have to destroy and it is good, but sometimes we have to put order and it is also good, both beginnings in their nature are not bad and are mutually essential as black and white, as absence and presence, as yes and no. Context and quality are the keys there.

    Aesthetically, if done intelligently and qualitatively, both ideas bring pleasure – that is, they sensually stimulate positively (both cold and heat aesthetically give a positive charge) and impart some value to the mind.

  • Creation, contemplation, consumerism, possession


    True happiness is not about having things, but about making things.

    Wanting to have a lot usually comes from feeling like you’re missing out on something. Being overly focused on having things can make you bitter.

    Creation surpasses possession because it, to a certain extent, encompasses everything – including possession – as a result. Absolute truth, the categorical imperative of reason – to create.

    Contemplatiton is good and the right path, but it’s only a tool for a higher purpose. Concentrated consumerism? No, be accurate there…

    Having things can be useful too, but it’s usually more vulnerable & corrupt especially for weak minds than creating, although contemplation can mess up some people too. Messing up while creating can happen too, but it’s not as bad as other things.

    However, when analyzing people and their behavior, it is important not to forget that a person is a very changeable entity – today they are one way, tomorrow another. It is important to keep this in mind… but if today it’s 80 percent, tomorrow it’s only 20 or even less, nobody can guarantee you the tomorrow, and it’s not guaranteed that they will come at all – I mean, if you encounter toxic people, for example, excessive consumers, it’s better to immediately work on the cleanliness of your environment and not allow such individuals into your life… maybe they are normal, just temporarily sick, but we better think about today rather than tomorrow, because a person is a changeable, somewhat unpredictable creature.

    I look deeper and ponder… our world was in some way created, prepared, formula or algorithm, whatever – but the concept of creation is also inherent in us. But what’s true making, and what’s just rearranging what already exists? In any case, creation requires some initial material… there is a complexity and multiplicity of the world – as with life, where before transitioning to a qualitative-quantitative transition – the appearance of a human, or even multicellular organisms, there was a long process of creating preparatory material – effectively translating energy oxygen, for example. When you create, you try, you find…

    So, true happiness… it’s where there’s truth and a clear, perspective and reasonable path, a way to make life better, a path to the prosperity of whole life as it is. Obviously, the best thing is creation, that is, to create. But just don’t clutter…. before publishing, preparation is needed, honesty – multiplying noise is an ignoble affair.
