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 –…

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…

Creation, contemplation, consumerism, possession
True happiness is not about having things, but about making/giving them; when you giving, you kind of already got some… Wanting to have a lot usually comes from feeling like you’re missing out on something. Being overly focused on having things will make you bitter. Creation surpasses possession because it, to a certain extent, encompasses…

Emotional charging
You have to keep thinking of ways to make life better. Collect pluses… And information, real data, not speculative manipulations. Instead of collecting the negativity and drowning in the minus. Emotional charges. Discuss bad things less, for example. It’s about the tone and filtering. Still need to see the dirt and clean it sometimes… But…

L-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…

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…

On suffering
To suffer is useful and normal, especially intellectually – overcoming the difficulties life presents – makes one stronger… well, to a limited extent, of course, not to the point of breaking. Difficulties and suffering to an intellectual – especially a creator of something new or a potential leader, not an “analyst-and-data-collector-scientist-or-low-level-manager-politician” – are like training…

Messed up
Intelligent people are mostly avoiding any products from companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Samsung, and similar Big Tech these days, allowing partial touch only in extreme cases. These companies are like greedy monsters, cannibals… too big and messed up, with the wrong ideas and values. Capitalism (at huge scales) itself is a trouble already.…

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…

The horizon
The horizon of events in the world… It’s as if we can’t see, as if we were moving on a ball, we can’t clearly see what will be and what was behind… All blue and obscurity. As it is, so it is. Do what you have to do and let it be, сome what may.…

Average consumerism
Here’s a quick thought experiment – I’m going to come to him with my [most famous burgers franchise] burger (assuming he doesn’t familiar with [most famous world burgers franchise]) and he’s obviously more likely to say like it’s bad food. And don’t forget that we’re not talking about smart sophisticated and honest people, but about…

Conspiracy theorists
It’s always better to doubt and ask questions. We are quite limited creatures to really know all the reasons, and our mind often creates a lot of illusions for us too. So it’s just safer to have a critical mind, a factor of survival.I used to think it was a little dangerous to recommend something…

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…

End
‘How can this be? Universal harmony, life, the wonders of music? Still everything to die?..’ So what? In the end, you will die, and so will the universe. ‘But… is there any salvation?..’ Yes, there is. It lies in exploring the world, for instance, understanding dark energy; doing meaningful deeds, creating values that inspire, doing…

Artificial values
Never “marry” ideas, even if you’ve invested a lot in them, we humans are very complex creatures and it’s normal to make mistakes sometimes. It’s better and easier to be open and say “I was wrong, OK, let’s move on, at least I learned something new” than to constantly destroy the path by those wrongly…

No ostentation, but honest
There is no need to constantly run to be the best – everyone is different.Striving for the real quality, that is another story. Don’t push too hard, all you need at first is just to be honest with yourself and others.

Most Nazis feared job loss, stayed quiet about evil
Never be afraid of losing your job especially if it’s bad. Try to find new one, no fears. Whenever we live and have stable earth around us, we’ll have something to share. Be afraid of your shitty job and losing time and freedom, not losing the money or something.

Negative pleasure, positive suffering
There are negative pleasures, as well as the positive suffering. The odds are in the perspective.
