Fix Schools

#0332

Fix Schools

The author argues that humanity’s key tasks—curing aging and disease, redefining money, ensuring food and shelter—all hinge on a single element: fixing schools. He claims schools prevent problems before they start, but are currently marred by indoctrination and an assumption that our birth circumstances are correct. By using computers to create individualized learning paths, students can learn at their own pace instead of rote memorization. The author stresses that those in authority must be properly educated because their actions shape long‑term outcomes; once schools work properly, the world will stop repeating its mistakes.

Learning From Tutorials

I’m learning to make techno tracks by following step‑by‑step online tutorials—starting with simple drum samples and building up to full compositions—using free tools like LMMS, piano rolls, and beat sequencers. I discovered this method after using tutorial searches for programming languages and art projects, and now I apply the same approach to music production, especially Dash Glitch’s “Techno #1 – The Basics” video on YouTube. By replicating his process I’ve already built a small test song, and once I’m comfortable with these procedures I plan to create dance‑friendly techno tracks, confident that clear tutorials accelerate progress.

For The Advancement Of Human Kind

The post outlines the vision for a self‑sustaining modern school: teachers are replaced by AI bots that facilitate student collaboration and knowledge building; certification is optional but city officials are consulted; support systems such as housing and medical care are offered to students in need; learning is practical, with students producing and selling their own work to finance themselves; the model relies on long‑term investors and a revenue share of 10 % from graduates’ earnings; it emphasizes honor code values, aims for national expansion funded by government budgets, and eventually international branches; overall, it presents an ambitious plan for an autonomous, AI‑driven educational institution that nurtures talent, provides real experience, and aspires to become a global “New United Nations” of learning.

To Share Wisdom

The post argues that the traditional school system often presents itself as a place of learning but actually relies on memorization and cramming, which leaves students feeling inadequate rather than truly knowledgeable. It claims that real understanding comes from creating inventions, enjoying results, and adding beauty to one’s portfolio, not from chasing grades or job titles. The author stresses that “good” jobs are an illusion—often filled by liars and manipulators—while true fulfillment lies in entrepreneurship and authentic knowledge acquisition. He further explains that the value of college degrees is overstated; scholarships and brand names merely serve corporate interests. Finally, he envisions a life

Fixing Education By Subtle Analogy To Music

The post celebrates a playful, interdisciplinary approach to learning that blends music composition, mathematics, and hands‑on electronics—especially building drone projects on Raspberry Pi—to make education vivid, colorful, and self‑directed. It argues that music “ticks” the ears and that true learning comes from experimenting with real hardware (e.g., drones, programming in JavaScript or Python) rather than rote memorization. The author laments a perceived “faked” school system, suggesting that mediocrity can be countered by taking responsibility for one’s own education and turning creative projects into startups. Finally, he urges listeners to embrace the joy of learning, share speeches like valedictorians, and build companies that fix the broken educational system.

Regulae Ad Directionem Ingenii

The author presents “A Thousand Books” as a metaphor for the cumulative power of reading to lift us out of indoctrination and self‑imposed limits. He recalls personal episodes—misled by classmates, an older acquaintance who secretly disliked immigrants, and his own struggle with bullying—to illustrate how invisible influences can shape our lives until we become aware through books and reflective thinking. By invoking Plato’s Cave and Descartes’ meditations, he argues that literature and philosophy reveal hidden realities, while modern technology enables us to access this wisdom more readily. In sum, the post contends that a large number of narrated books, coupled with study guides or lectures, can help people see themselves from an outside perspective, freeing them before mishaps occur and fostering growth.

Awakenings

Awakenings

Life moves forward like a reward for being alive, not measured by extra miles run but by recognizing what held us back yesterday and rising above it with dignity and strength; we must pause to see the colors around us—whether in everyday scenes or in music—and slow down to hear each song’s components (kicks, claps, hats, ambiance, melody, bass), then use that insight to create our own pieces; all wonders from quantum physics to art are already before us and only require a patient reach rather than teacher guidance, so understanding beauty is a gift achieved step by step.

Real Talk With MC Meow: Music Theory

The post describes crafting a dance‑ready track by layering ready drum and bass samples, then weaving in a melody drawn from Morse code and Russian audio clips, all while stressing the playful, improvisational nature of music creation.

Your Readers

#0324

Your Readers

The post presents the reader as a living miracle, a micro‑cosmos made of stars whose inner universe is an ever‑expanding constellation of thoughts and observations that shape his Earthly life and global citizenship. It urges him to rise above national borders by cultivating knowledge through books—written or recorded—and to leave a lasting legacy of wisdom for future generations, especially the young who first encounter those early works. The author stresses that each person’s story is a triumph of insight, a source of enlightenment that will be read and re‑heard for centuries, and invites us to connect with our readers so they may help us rise as well.

Call To Greatness

The post argues that true learning requires making direct connections between what we already know and where we want to go, rather than relying solely on memorization. It claims that the current school system forces students into rote practice to avoid failure, which only creates an appearance of competence and benefits teachers more than learners. By self‑studying and building a solid base of knowledge, one can return to formal education with confidence, making exams trivial and enabling a career built on real wisdom rather than superficial diplomas. The author stresses that authentic learning is essential for personal satisfaction and professional demand, and encourages readers to take care of themselves by pursuing genuine knowledge before seeking titles or jobs.

No Ordinary Lives

Humans are not ordinary beings but unique creators shaped by chaos and stardust; our lives unfold through continuous learning and self‑reflection. We breathe life into thoughts like song, caring for body and mind as citizens of the world while striving for excellence in knowledge, wisdom, and greatness. Books become mirrors that accelerate growth, letting us inherit hard‑won wisdom and contribute to humanity’s collective knowledge. Thus each life becomes a unique adventure—a miracle that inspires others and enriches the world.

Aquamarine

Aquamarine

The post celebrates the way a beautiful piano tune can stir our hearts and souls, calling us back to nature’s rhythms—especially an “Aquamarine Ocean” that feels timeless and part of us. It likens composing music to a chess game: begin with a key you love and then explore moves toward harmony, while recognizing that perfection is less important than the imperfect, continual progress that mirrors life itself. The writer urges readers to slow down from busy schedules, reconnect with earth’s sounds, care for their minds, and pursue creative endeavors—whether through music, dancing, or travel—so that each moment becomes a canvas of ongoing creation rather than a final product.

A Little Song

In this post the author explains how to build a minimalist song in an easy, fun way. They suggest using a sound‑generator tool that provides categories from old computer games—pick up/coin, laser/shoot, explosion, power‑up, hit/hurt, jump and blip/select—and applying effects like reverb and echo to modernize the mix. The process starts with a 130 BPM drum kick assembled by layering several generated sounds (laser, explosion, etc.) into a chord, then adding claps on every other beat for contrast. Hats are introduced on and between beats to give energy, while variations in the kick keep the groove alive. Finally the author adds a simple melody—whistle‑style sustained tones—to complete the track.

Nurnberg Trailhead, Nordhouse Dunes

Woodland Adventures is a goofy journey that begins with the author’s first visit to the Nurnberg Trailhead and quickly turns into a series of misadventures—after a 90‑degree turn they lose their way in a grassy field full of snakes, mistake a dune for a tree and wander in circles blocked by spider webs, only to find themselves back on the trail when a confused fellow hiker points them out again. A later fork toward Lake Michigan leads to another detour, but after battling mosquitoes and insect repellent they eventually reach the dunes, swim in the lake, watch the sunset, enjoy sausages for dinner, and spend a month collecting fossils and building sticks before returning months later for more silly adventures. The author concludes by recommending that hikers take the right fork at the first split (the more traveled path) rather than the left one toward the lake, and to stay on the trail to avoid shortcuts.

By Subtle Analogy

The post reflects on how the author discovered Whitman's Kosmos, noting that while the ending is beautiful, it was the middle that caught their attention; they discuss how theories of earth, body, city, poem, and politics can be understood through subtle analogies, citing Chomsky’s idea that apes’ navigation genes were copied to aid human faculties; they then ponder why math and string theory are useful—they share properties with the universe, being subtle analogies that mirror basic rules; illustrating this with an apples example, the author references Leonard Susskind’s video on consciousness, and concludes that understanding new things by analogy to known concepts fuels invention, while reading many books creates a tipping point for idea synthesis and infinite creativity.

One

#0317

One

The poem urges us to seek wisdom and preempt trouble by gathering knowledge, likening the mind’s growth to a flower that needs water, light, and countless voices—about a thousand books—to bloom fully; with each book added, our minds amplify, become unbreakable and unimaginably strong, allowing us to start anew, align in balance, and let even the slightest push become a great force.

Knowledge

#0316

Knowledge

The post argues that true learning comes from personal exploration and continuous self‑education rather than passive classroom instruction; it claims that knowledge fuels confidence, creativity, and decision‑making, while its absence breeds fear, ignorance, and error. The author emphasizes that teachers often merely repeat what they know without inspiring students, and that a book—whether read, rewound, or listened to—serves as a gateway to wisdom that can be applied to life’s challenges. By accumulating knowledge in layers like “golden flakes,” one builds the capacity to synthesize ideas, understand others, and correct problems in society such as poverty and ineffective teaching. The piece concludes with a call for everyone to become wise so the world may grow safely and in balance.

Strong

Strong

The post is an uplifting exhortation for each person—especially a child of the universe—to cultivate wisdom and personal growth through self‑reflection, independent decision‑making, and active learning; it urges one to protect their mind from outside interference, find safe spaces to dream, engage with nature, and pursue creative pursuits such as writing, music, art, and adventure, while reminding that every individual’s journey is sacred, equal, and free of undue comparison or manipulation.

Lecture

#0314

Lecture

The post celebrates the idea that the most effective lectures are those you create yourself—mixing documentaries, online videos, audiobooks, infographics and hands‑on projects such as a Raspberry Pi kit with breadboards and sensors—and then taking them out on nature trails where you can sleep through an audio lecture yet still absorb it when you wake. It urges that learning be as adventurous as the content: build solar‑powered gear, wire a weatherproof wireless network, program a MUD, and use creative login pages to test your UNIX skills—all while trekking to peaks to observe supernovae, glaciers and lightning bugs. In short, the author argues that real lectures last a lifetime, become gateways to exploration, and are best experienced in the wild rather than in a classroom.

Self Education

The author argues that modern education is dominated by rigid subject divisions and rote memorization, turning teachers into “performers” who merely repeat formulas rather than truly teach concepts; this system leaves students feeling unconfident and misled, as they are judged on standardized tests rather than actual understanding. He claims elementary school works because it teaches basic recall, but higher levels add unnecessary layers of abstraction that only force memorization again. The essay suggests that true learning happens when students disassemble ideas, rebuild them through analogy, and apply tools to create new knowledge—like mathematicians who study notation deeply. Finally, he urges each individual to take ownership of their education, follow personal interests, and not rely on institutions or diplomas for validation.

Rising

Rising

The post reflects on life’s journey as a personal path shaped by our own choices rather than others’ expectations. It says each step must build upon the previous one, with growth and learning as continuous processes that define our “perfect” school and life. The author imagines an older self looking back at the moment of beginning, proud of a fully lived and authentic journey on his own path.

Intransigent

Intransigent

This post outlines a step‑by‑step blueprint for turning a personal passion into a thriving business: start by learning through audio books and simple tools like LMMS to create workout music, then pitch this product to investors (e.g., $10 k becoming $100 k) and use the capital for advertising; build a brand with free bandwidth, ads, merch, and videos, while accepting that failure is an inevitable part of learning—each flop is a chance to refine the idea and portfolio; finally, showcase your work in a polished design portfolio to attract schools, investors, and clients, proving that sustained practice, creative content, and honest entrepreneurship can lift you from poverty into lasting success).

Books

Books

Reading books expands our inner city of knowledge, making us stronger, wiser, and better navigators in life.

Do Not Take Things For Granted, And Reject The Status Quo

The post argues that people should build their own meaning and knowledge by learning from many wise books and thinking for themselves, instead of blindly following prescribed roles or institutional advice.
