Quantum meme. I used to know guys who had sophisticated and whimsical projections of expansion of quasi-random walk, which played a significant role in a convergence or divergence of life as a form of systemic existence to ergodicity. You are too stupid to understand, gozhim.

And I understand value of common culture. It's like a universal contract which can be easily adopted by a group of people (just like it's easier to start coding new project in a popular framework, than in a custom framework). But I don't think there's such strong thing as a universal culture adopted by all people. For this reason I don't believe in "ideal society" or universal ideology. Good cultures (= stable and valuing individual spirit) are limited by ethnic, class and intellectual contexts. For the latest there are quasi-subcultures like cottagecore, y2k, academies etc.
#blog #thoughts #philosophy #society

2024-08-16 12:19:50

Many idealists who dream about "ideal society", simply ignore basic necessity in healthy and free life, non-deterministic/subjective nature of agents and mutual relations between agents. The last two things can't be ignored even in software engineering: for example, there's data dependency and reverse semantic dependency of front-end on back-end. Society is way more complex system tho. For this reason I think, that it's more practical not to try to build "ideal society" (which consists of people with different ethnicity, religion, social status and intelligence), but to start from an individual physical, intellectual and spiritual growth. Then educate friends and relatives. The rest will be propagated and adopted in unique ways.

I don't get into modern obsession with adaptability on which particularly most "lefties" rely. Adaptability opens up high variety of options. This is a good part of it. But some options do not work for healthy and free life of individual. So I think that healthy adaptability works together with subjective control on healthy and free life of individual.

How do you stay persistent in a long (and hard) path?
Ordered life maximizes efficiency. Although it bores and demotivates quickly. At least for me and creative friends. But I neither favor chaotic life, because it has too low persistence for many things. Some things need high persistence and focus in order to develop them. For example, I can't develop and test feature X quickly because it relies on complex logic, it needs design which is about to develop in one week, UI code is one of things which can't be generated efficiently. So I probably need to save my work in a way, which can easily be continued later. Also for this reason software engineers have design patterns: it's easier to place modular bricks together, than to place brick in entangled labyrinth. But too much depth of patterns leads to "over-engineering": it's a situation when you spend much more on coding than on implementing a feature. So depth of design patterns correlates with instrinsic complexity of feature and delegation of work. But there are other, non-technical ways to "save and continue" progress.
Diary. I can write what I've done this day, which insights I've had this day, what to do next day, and then read it. So that short and mid term memory keeps a track with long and persistent path, which can be detalized, glued, executed, rewarded etc. in progress. It's like a very small friend. Old but good.

2024-08-04 15:11:57

It's funny to see how complexity of thinking is reduced to hierarchical typologies of many degrees. I could add 100, 1000, 10_000 etc. more layers to hierarchy - it still can be navigated in 2D manner. It is a 3D brain with feedback loops which develop in time, and development has many possibilities, and these possibilities are influenced from self-reflection on interaction with environment... And is it reduced to hierarchical typology? Seriously? Even physical deterministic reduction is funny. Even probablistic modelling reduction is funny.

Many people may ask something like: "how does cooking relate to programming which is your career and passion? how does your philosophical speech relate to it either?". Actually side hobbies help me in developing programming skills, when current abstract understanding hits a wall. For example, cooking activated more clarity for multitasking/parallel programming in me. Idk how this works. Brain is wonderful.
And philosophical posts are a form of reflection and leisure. And reflection is essential to understand software development at different levels: from coding to architecture to business. Not everything is effectively implemented solely at code or architecture level tho.

2. You should also need to finely chop the garlic before frying it.

I love cooking and recently I've made up a modification of original French puree (my favorite cozy dish for dinner), when I could not find a leek on local markets. The recipe is as follows:
1. Boil and then smash potatoes in the same way as in original puree.
2. The dressing is what differentiates my recipe from original recipe. Melt the butter until it starts to boil. Then fry and stir one or two heads of garlic for 2 minutes.
3. Turn off fire. Then add 200 ml of 3.2-6% milk to the mix as in the original puree. And mix it.
4. Then add this mix to the smashed potatoes and further smash it. As in the original recipe.
5. Then add black pepper and sea salt and mix it.

I think that the "hustle only" culture is a big meme based on spatial-temporal reduction of real growth and high trust distribution of resources. It's a meme forced by those who have better initial conditions than poor people. And thus it is a rationalization of the hamster-in-the-wheel type of work like: "we are rich because we work so hard and so efficiently".

Environment does NOT DICTATE culture but influences. Though frequently it's cheaper to move to another area or conquest, than enrich environment (but these conditions could change in interaction between different agents of environment). Humans and other creatures are a part of environment who also influence environment.

It is also interesting to see how natural environment influences cultural traits. Both from individual experience and analysis of history of humanity and geography. When I was living in Ural, I tended towards submissive-only behavior and totality of destiny. However, I still holded individualism, exploratism and creativity as core values besides harmony. And when I has been living in Southern countries with mild climate, I have become more communicative, friendly and opportunistic. Or is it just coincidence accompanied by ageing and development? Or both?
When I analysed history of monotheism and despotic models of rule, I came into insight that these originated in countries with extreme weather conditions, extreme natural resources scarcity and high population density in areas, where conditions are quite better. While rich arts, science and humanistic ideals with emphasis on individualism and variadic degree of cooperation originated in southern countries with rich soil, greenery and mild climate.

It's interesting to spot how different fundamental values of individuals can lead to the same cultural traits. For example, my favor of slow life, dislike of "hustle only" culture, even some "left" ideas (I neither like ultra-right ideals with "everyone should survive on their own", nor communism, anti-entrepreneurism, anti-privacy). And my internet friend share the same traits. However, he comes from deterministic and objectivist perception of Universe, and I come from non-deterministic and subjectivist perception of Universe with determinism localized in exploitable by human models. And this is where our views on society, living a life, doing work diverge. He's kinda communist with strong formalization of different personality types. I'm kinda libertarian who associates positive (or cooperative) societal inequality with parenting, mentoring and friendship, and negative (or parasitic) societal inequality with unidirectional exploitation of people (viewing them as "farm animals", "craftable and destroyable tools" or "extractable resources").

Everyone who claims "Bad Engineer" as "<= Senior Engineer" and "Good Engineer" as "Lead Engineer", will be banned. They can repeat many times that LLMs give strong credit to isomorphic relation between degree of maturity and "bad/good engineer" dichotomy. I don't pay into it since I work with LLMs and less experienced engineers who also use the same tooling.

1. Work should be ecologic for humans as creative and explorative beings which live as long as they essentially can.
2. So the best code which solves a given (real or imaginary/perspective) problem, is no written code. If this solution for given problem exists.
3. Periodicity of multiple patterns/modes is a mitigation of negative effects of the Goodhart’s law. “Work hard” and “follow easy path” are also patterns with limits.
4. So write less boilerplate “monkey” code, write more business-related and engineering code which provides you a solid basis for future development without energy draining mundane work.

I found this parable 7 years ago in a small imageboard on philosophy topic. Can you help me identify origins of it? I only have a text of it saved on my computer (other parts of the story are in comments):
"During my walk on the lake, I was talking with an imaginable creature. Which appears to be an angel. I talked with him about what is the difference between free and slave person. He offered me to imagine a bottle and a landscape. Bottle uses its water for different actions. We went through different stages of differences:
1) "Free" bottle moves. "Slave" bottle does not move.
2) "Free" bottle moves in different directions. "Slave" bottle moves in one direction.
3) "Free" bottle moves, builds new walls and crashes existing walls. "Slave" bottle only moves.
4) "Free" bottle moves, builds, crashes and makes building and crashing more efficient. "Slave" bottle moves, builds new walls with only a clay and crashes walls with only a stone stick.
5) "Free" bottle moves, builds, crashes, optimizes, records and reuses information on his clay with stone stick. "Slave" bottle only moves, builds, crashes and tries to find "best" solution.
6) "Free" bottle moves, builds, crashes, optimizes, records, reuses information and uses walls for recording. "Slave" bottle doesn't see walls as recording mean.
7) "Free" bottle learns from past sucked bottle. "Slave" bottle starts from scratch every time.
8) "Free" bottle knows: its capacity is limited for water, and it grows something different for extra capacity. "Slave" bottle only recharges water.
9) "Free" bottle is focused on life. "Slave" bottle is focused on easy-to-follow frames or comfort zone.
10) "Free" bottle rests. "Slave" bottle is busy every time.
So this is how I can determine difference between the "free" and the "slave".
Then I asked The Angel about what's the difference between the "good" and the "evil". If they can do the same things in different contexts. The Angel said me something like:
- The Good is free and harmonic. The evil destroys itself and tries to survive at the same time.
- But isn't the evil harmonic if it can keep the same level of life with different means?
- Harmony is eternal. It is about finding a balance between your qualia and surroundings. Self-destruction with survival is not eternal. It's limiting. Harmony and limiting are different things.
- How does harmony come in pair with freedom if harmony also poses constraints?
- You can live healthy and peaceful life with unlimited journey and creation. And you don't need to have more power or money, than you need to achieve for this. This is what about this dichotomy.
- So The Good lives life and creates value for themselves and then for others? And the evil is limited in beliefs so it tries to limit others to survive? So others can also be drained into the same game?
- Yes. You are right.
- Isn't utilizing resources of Nature a destruction for survival?
- No.
- Why?
- They can be utilized for growth. Like child grows in size to adult person. And a single room apartment which looked like a palace, starts to look like a cage.
- So The Good grows until free harmonic eternity is achieved? And the evil deludes itself by false beliefs into eternity of their limited image?
- Yes.
- But other conscious beings can also be utilized as resources.
- Then they're not conscious beings. They're fully controlled items like minerals or cattle. Conscious beings brings the Harmony and the Freedom.
- So The Good works on par with other conscious beings to grow? And the evil tries to destroy consious beings to extract resources for its survival?
- Yes.
- Can the evil be a shadow of The Good? And this shadow deludes itself, that it's worth the same and even greater than The Good?
- Yes. You're right.
- I understand you. Why the evil exists then?
- It exists to understand The Good. The Good learns All The Life. To achieve The Harmony and The Freedom. While the evil portrays All The World as a perfect sphere, which can be easily predicted and controlled.
- I understand you.
Then I walked out of the forest back to the home. The Angel said:
- We are walking through the people. I keep you. So that you look easy while dreaming. Today you have a rest and dreaming mind because you underslept. That's ok. Later you will sleep well and be in more hurry for your path."
