Life

Life, once you realize you can’t get out of it alive, becomes extremely depressing.

Real enemy

Corporations are real enemy, real dictatorships.

Internet

Like so many other human inventions before it, the Internet carried so much promise at the beginning. Then, people with money got interested…

I finally realized what has been bothering me all these years in the US: the lack of an objective criterion. Maybe it has something to do with aging and losing threads, but… everything here seems somehow elemental, human qualities are not valued, the stronger oppress, the more intrusive win, etc. Perhaps it is a mistake that we are brought up to respect the authority which is corrupt here. I don’t know, but I do know that I would like to see objective criteria, a “leveled playing field”.

Democracy

Terms democracy and class society are incompatible.

Democracy

Every dictatorship thinks of itself as a democracy. The greater dictatorship, it tries harder to present itself as a democracy.

Definition

The most accurate definition of modern software development: Even if a woman lies down with nine men, we still can’t expect to have a baby in one month.

Capitalism

As a species, we humans had a great chance to build a better society, a better World. Instead, we live in capitalism.

Life

Life is a premiere and there are no repeats – Hamed Bangoura

Funnel

This is how it works: let’s start with atoms, electrons, quarks, and we go up: more and more complex structures appear. At the same time, those more complex structures are part of something even more complex, etc. Eventually, it turns into a funnel and reverses, so that even the most complex structures become part of the simplest ones. I mean, it all goes around in circles.
