Health is loan

 Health is a loan that one day must be repaid

Four demons

The first demon stops you doing what you do not know how to do. If there is something that you might want to do, but you do not know how or do not have enough skills or abilities, it precludes you of doing that.

The second demon is stronger. It stops you doing what you do not want to do. If there is something that is not urgent or immediate and can be done later, it precludes you of doing that.

The third demon is the strongest of the above; it is very insidious and devious. It lures you in doing something unnecessary and in vain. It also makes you oblivious of that. 

Finally, the fourth demon is a superdemon. It can hide extremely well and avoid your attacks. It makes you suffer when you try to fight any of the demons, including this one. Although if you gain a smallest victory against any demon, this one gives you a little bit more willpower as a reward.

Normally you are under control of the third demon. If you want to escape, you get under the influence of the fourth demon; and, at the same time, now you find yourself fighting two demons: the third and the one of the first two. That is not an easy fight. Good luck!

The whole world reaction to the covid situation is applying the idea of humanism taken to absurd, to the level that it begins contradicting itself.

Do not trust people but trust their ideas.

 In programming the length of variable names must be proportional to the scope and inversely proportional to intelligence.

 Computers can do many things, but as of now one thing they cannot do is to lie. If you want to find out the real truth do not ask other people, ask the computer.

Death is an integral part of life on Earth. Until people understand this well, they will endlessly keep killing each other in the name of life.

 If you need powerful computers to implement your ideas, then your ideas are not good

 The problem with this current strict isolation is that overall human immune system is deprived on exposure to the normal level variety of pathogen viruses and bacteria. With time the epidemiological problem will only aggravate. Infectious deceases will become more aggressive in both: spreading and effect. My prediction is that within the next 5 years as Covid-19 being in decline we will be having other much more serious infections accompanied with new possibly stricter lockdowns and prohibitions.

A wise man does not become wise by living a wise life.

Every moment in life has to be a balance between happiness and changing yourself. Hence unhappiness is allowed in your life only up to the level of your attempts to change yourself.

Science is like sex. There are scientists who do unprotected sex producing babies (discoveries). There are scientists who do protected sex and almost do not produce anything except art. And there are scientists who masturbate to porn magazines (scientific journals) trying to produce more porn for their masturbation. Sciolism.

Eternal dissatisfaction

The best thing that can happen to you is to realize that you are not satisfied with the World. This dissatisfaction can put you into doing things. Because if you are in harmony, there is no question to change neither the World nor You. If you find that the World behaves not in a way as you expected, ask yourself: am I smart enough to use it to my own advantage?

Why people constantly talk about things they do not understand?

Physical reality is merely a mysterious point of contact of different universes.

Security of the system is only as strong as its greatest incentive challenging to break it

Juice of life

I want my day-to-day life to boil down to activities increasing four elements: strength, willpower, enjoyment of life, and happiness. These four concepts are of two dimensions: mental-physical and induction-acceptance. So
       physical + induction = strength
       mental + induction = willpower
       physical + acceptance = enjoyment of life
       mental + acceptance = happiness
Question any activity that does not contribute or contribute too little to one of the above qualities. Squeeze your life out of the time! As for practical matters, I start with doing at least one exercise a day for each category. Strength: physical exercises up to suffering. Willpower: doing a non-urgent unpleasant task or having resisted a strong temptation. Enjoyment of life: have a pleasant treat. Happiness: damn!

Four selves

I find 4 levels of self. The first is a body. The body is alive and changes and heals by itself. The second is the deep and unconscious beliefs that manifest themselves only when they are abused, then you feel emotions. These beliefs can be so deep and emotions can be so strong that the willpower and the mind has no ability to deal with it. It is like a second body without physical representation living by itself, changing and healing in similar ways. The third is the mind – the thoughts that come to you allowing you consciously perceive yourself and the world. You call it “my mind” which means that you do not completely associate yourself (your I) with it. Indeed, you have quite limited control on the thoughts that come to you. Even conscious decisions are based on some internal logic, arguments, or emotions. The fourth self is the I. It is free of pain, free of emotions, free of thoughts. This one that you cannot call “my I”.

You vs your mind

Your mind is more powerful and is more clever than you. The problem of changing yourself is to persuade your mind and to make it believe. This is very difficult because it controls you, not otherwise.

Out of all intellectual enjoyments, music is the easiest that allows to achieve culmination.
