The Human Mind
People today admire artificial intelligence and create hype around it, as if it were something supreme. In reality, this is just late-stage capitalism spreading another narrative. People seem to forget that artificial intelligence was created by the human mind. The human mind, the reason, it is what is the highest. And it is ours. Sadly,…

Shifting Responsibility
Passing the blame is the true Klondike of corruption and evil. If an order is foolish, do not obey it.If you’ve erred, admit it. It sounds simple… yet many of us are bound by money, fear, and ensnared in a web of false values. How deeply can we be reprogrammed, how easily even the most…

Symmetry, Rights, the Health of Society
Why are equality before the law, genuine justice – adequate, real laws, and a dispersed, neutralized form of power so essential if we truly wish to live well? Because a society’s health depends on symmetry. An asymmetrically arranged post-industrial society—authoritarian rule, oligarchy, the sway of billionaires and dictators—creates an over-weighting and a structural imbalance that…

Big Tech’s Desperate AI Push
How Big Tech keeps forcing all this hype-ridden AI on us is frankly pathetic. They’ve sunk so much money into the fantasy of magical, human-replacing AI that they’re now scrambling to recoup their investment—whatever it takes. The trouble is, the technology is still crude and clumsy. It could take years to mature and, even then,…

Illusions of morality
Destroying can be just as fun as creating. Morality doesn’t exist in nature—people simply do what’s convenient and beneficial for them. The concept of usefulness is shaky; horrors and spontaneous fortunes alike occur without reason. Every moral concept is an aspiration toward efficiency and order; that’s its justification, and why it endures. I wouldn’t be…

Ethics and aesthetics when dealing with first impressions
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…

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It is difficult to say that it is just ugly or that this work is frankly bad (if a person made it from the heart, not to order or for the sake of money or fame). It would be more precise to say “I don’t quite understand it”, “it’s not to my current taste”, “it’s…

Freedom and limitations
Absolute freedom is an illusion, like if transport in the city moved as everyone wanted it to – spontaneously and without rules. In movement (and life is movement), reasonable restrictions on the flow are necessary, you can’t just let everyone move freely and chaotically. The same with aesthetics and ethics where limits are needed, they…

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…

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…

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…

My experience
Eat small portions. Work smart, not hard. Work everyday, whenever possible. Enjoy real rest like sleeping or sport when tired working. Consume less. Boycott crap products whenever possible. Spent more energy on quality work and ruthlessly cut unnecessary. Gentle your tone. Talk, walk softly. Take your time, you don’t know and can’t know what will…

Fear of death and Greed
Humanity’s two biggest, fatal misconceptions so far are: 1. Fear of death (In truth, dying is easy, and death helps us live better, without fearing mistakes, especially when we’ve lived honestly and without greed) 2. Greed (What’s the point of consuming so much? You’ll die anyway… and don’t forget that we’re just fruits on the…

Not restrict bad but let good come over
Moving “In Reverse” is weakly effective, I’m talking about prohibitions, restrictions and such. It’s better to substitute with the superior, don’t restrict bad but replace it with good, give ways.

Drowning…
Avoid drowning in the daily stream of social networks and news. Today’s mass media and most journanists or celebrities’ approach of kill-but-get-profit-or-promotion is a headache.A once a week or so run through the main signal sources is enough. Analyze seriousl, fearlessly, openly. Less is better. Real information, no buzz. Know what is signal and what…

Aesthetic fields, concept
Whether subject wants to or not, it always functions and translates a code of aesthetic and ethic fields. Usually already charged with the energy of other fields. The energy finds, regenerates and transmit itself in the code. Fields have boundaries of intersections and audience-subjects of the field – for example, the stylistics of y2k, hairy…

Workflow
From time to time I can miss a day or something, but I do not put much pressure on myself about that. It’s OK to miss the target sometimes. But a general flow must be established. Understanding habits is a must.

Open source and proprietary software: when is appropriate & a little about the excess
On one hand, open source is always better; you know what the program is doing and can improve it… But on the other hand, developers need to earn a living. Indeed, it’s ridiculous to work for free, as one can easily die of hunger, lose motivation… Programming can bring pleasure in itself, but it’s not…
