The post opens with a parable of a young warrior who repeatedly leaps over a growing corn stalk until it becomes higher than his headâillustrating that true endurance is built by continually pushing oneâs limits and repeating the challenge until mastery. It then explains that effective endurance training requires gradual, varied work so the body adapts to increasing energy demands; monotony or extreme loads alone do not build stamina. The author stresses the importance of monitoring sweat lossesâsodium, potassium, calcium, magnesiumâto prevent dehydration headaches, and suggests using sweatâpatch kits or laboratory tests to establish a baseline in controlled conditions, adjusting for weather and effort levels. He notes that overâhydration can be as harmful as underâhydration, and recommends tracking weight loss preâ/postâworkout and replenishing with electrolytes. Finally he reminds readers that endurance is personal: it can be walking long trails or dancing; the key is steady progression, adequate recovery, and enjoyment.

After receiving a 3âD postcard from his uncle that revealed NewâŻYorkâs streets, the narrator moves to Brooklyn to live there for a few years. He learns English through early exposure to a CommodoreâŻ64, British TV shows and closed captions, while struggling with numbers, time expressions and an accent that feels heavy at first. His selfâtaught skills are tested in school and work as a web designer, where heâs praised for his knowledge of BASIC and HTML but still has to refine vocabulary and phrasing. He finds narrated books and closed captions the most effective tools for learning, and concludes that moving into a country and immersing oneself is essential; if one ever visits the UK, âfannyâ should be used carefully.

The post argues that conventional schooling relies on rote memorization rather than true understanding: teachers recite textbook passages, students cram for exams, and grades become proof of the teacherâs effectiveness instead of evidence of learning. It claims standardized tests only capture surface knowledge while ignoring individual creativity, and that this system makes learners feel unintelligent even when they grasp concepts. The author suggests a new model in which progress is selfâpaced, learning is demonstrated through practical projects (like building simulations or virtual worlds for each subject), and the ultimate goal is to create a âreal schoolâ where personal exploration replaces oneâsizeâfitsâall curricula.

Falsehoodsâmistakes or lies that clutter our thoughtsâare described as âmind killersâ that keep us from growing up; the post argues that reading wellâchosen books and spending time in nature through camping or long walks can cleanse these falsehoods, because books bring wisdom while outdoor adventures reset the mind and make it receptive to learning. The author suggests that modern lifeâs distractions are deeply embedded in culture, but a simple ânoble traditionâ of buying gear and going on vacations can break those patterns. By stepping out of daily routines and relaxing in nature, one can rest, contemplate, and finally internalise true knowledge, thus becoming a âgreat being.â

I revisit my longâtime musicâgeneration project several times, rewriting the code over the years and finally settling on a small, openâsource tool called **westland** that uses Tidal notation to automatically compose drum patterns in LMMS. After learning the basics of notes, octaves, and rhythm from Ableton tutorials, I discovered how to encode rhythmic structures like â4nâ for quarter notes and nested arrays for faster beats (e.g., `["F4","F4",["F4","F4"],"F4"]`). With this system I can generate symmetrical drum patterns that evolve over time, applying filters and transforms to create fresh dance tracks. My goal is to produce machineâgenerated electronic music that feels new each time while keeping the composition process simple and reproducible for other programmers or musicians.

On this post I describe a lonely stone bear perched atop the ancient MountâŻĹlÄĹźaâan enduring symbol that has been revered for millennia as a special place where sunâworshipping peoples once gathered. The author explains that the bearâs form comes from Celtic tradition, probably the Boii tribe of the Iron Age, and represents the goddess Artio who sleeps in winter, awakens in spring, transforms into a bear, and ascends to become a constellationâan image echoed by Greek Artemis and Roman Diana. The narrator then recalls his own childhood experience of playing the bear in a school play, complete with a mask, and finishes with memories of simple adventures along the mountainâs trails with his dog Budrys, always watching the mistâshrouded SĹÄĹźa and Artio from afar.
In this nostalgic tale the narrator recalls childhood adventures on a hill crowned by old treesâwhere he would kindle fires from fallen branches, build shelters in mud and leaves, and watch rain pour down as he savored pizza warmed over his little fire. He remembers watching hunters and iceâsheeted rivers, feeling safe beneath thick roots while also noting strange creatures like a âChupacabra Gollumâ that haunted the hill after wheat workers found it. The story weaves personal memories of simple joys with glimpses of larger eventsâChernobylâs impact on his countryâand ends with an eager hunt for evidence of the creature, as villagers whisper its legend.

Dance is celebrated as a living poemâan art that began as battle training but evolved into a noble expression of human creativity. The post mixes personal memories (watching Fred Astaire and Mr.âŻBean) with references to classic moves such as the Napoleon Dynamite Dance, Melbourne Shuffle, Running Man, and TâStep, ultimately recommending a shuffle dance that blends the Running Man and TâStep steps while syncing to slowâtempo music by Alan Walker. It encourages beginners to start simple body workouts (jogging, shuffling, weight lifting) and adopt a lettuceâbased diet to lower calorie density, then advance toward faster beats as skill improves. In short, dancing is portrayed both as an artistic poem and a practical workout that builds flexibility, muscle strength, and confidence.

Consciousness is presented as the universeâs most remarkable miracle, giving humanity freedom of will, love, and wisdom beyond mere evolutionary adaptation. The post argues that we must actively correct the cognitive biases and social flawsâracism, xenophobia, groupâthinkâthat still hold our minds back, and that selfâeducation through books and personal reflection is the key to overcoming these limitations. By learning independently, leading rather than following, and sharing this knowledge with others, we can rise above poverty, culture, and circumstance, ultimately inspiring a wiser, more enlightened world.

The author proposes a simple, userâfriendly system for home automation based on singleâboard computers (like Raspberry Pi) and chatâroom style interfaces where devices act as bots that communicate via plain English commands; by leveraging existing assistants (Siri, Alexa, etc.) and custom âeventâemitterâ scripts, one can orchestrate tasks such as thermostat control or energy saving without writing complex code. They argue that the key to invention is observing everyday tools, simplifying their use, and building modular, interoperable bots that communicate over a shared chat platform, thereby turning ordinary devices into an anthropomorphized âagent network.â
Openâsource Linux phones like the Pine Phone or RaspberryâŻPi give developers more flexibility, better security and true OS access than closed âwalled gardenâ smartphones that depend on simplified GUIs and proprietary ecosystems.

The post explains how structuring a program around an Event Emitterâan object that can both listen for events and emit themâsimplifies development by making the main file act like an index of all functions rather than a long linear script; it uses a simple chat example where âoutgoingâmessageâ events are emitted when a user sends text, triggering handlers that package data for the server, which then emits âincomingâmessageâ events to other clients, and extends this pattern to more complex scenarios like a MUD game or interâbot communication, showing how keeping everything eventâdriven keeps code small (often just 20 lines), easy to modify, and easier to visualize as a diagram of interactions.
The author argues that modern schooling relies too much on rote memorization and multiple-choice exams, neglecting real-world skill acquisitionâillustrated with a photoâediting analogyâand proposes gamified, project-based learning (e.g., using tools like Kerbal Space Program) to give students practical knowledge and financial independence.

The post describes an idealized educational experience where a school fully supports its students by covering accommodation, meals, travel, and even medical expensesâso that whether youâre an exchange student or living independently, you never have to worry about housing or health costs. Students are guaranteed stay until they finish, with no graduation ceremony required, and can return anytime; theyâll be treated as a family with group therapy sessions, and if they fail in their own business theyâre welcomed back. The school emphasizes practical learning over rote memorizationâstudents receive white coats for microbiology or medicine, pursue software development through tutorials, and progress from student to mentor to entrepreneur. Frequent travel between cultures and labs is encouraged, ensuring that students never feel stuck or lonely but instead become âcitizens of the world.â In short, this institution promises a lifelong, dignified, and flexible learning journey that nurtures independent thinkers who will contribute meaningfully to humanity.

Programming can be seen both as a creative art and a technical discipline that requires solid architecture, coordination, and collaborative effort. By crafting simple programsâwhether pixelâart scrolling games like *Mari0*, 2âD worlds in InformâŻ7, or robotic projects such as autonomous dronesâdevelopers learn to turn ideas into tangible universes, giving life to formulas and enabling new business products. Small experiments become stepping stones: building generative art, printing it on canvas, or exploring electronics and robotics; each project strengthens the loop of learning by doing. In this way programming evolves from a hobby into a powerful tool that fuels innovation, research (as seen in mountains of white papers), and realâworld impactâfrom creative expression to job offers and solutions for poverty.
Attending a prestigious show or hearing great speakers will make the most thoughtful people judge you by two things: your spirit and how far youâve gone to leave lasting contributions to humanity. Theyâll care less about material status, schools or salary, and more about integrity, selfâawareness, and what you have done in context of the world. Schools (high school through university) often hold us back, giving a wrong impression of reality; we need to read transformative books and learn by doing, not just memorizing facts. A good student becomes an intellectual and a business person who can speak from the heart and move audiencesâskills that school rarely teaches. Thus you must take responsibility for your own education, integrate knowledge, pace yourself right, and let the culture of great authors and speakers merge into yours to help the world grow.
