unforgivably long to figure out what the hell is going on in the world right now

It took an unforgivably long time to figure out what the hell is going on in the world right now. Curiosity dictated not dropping the object of interest until I'd explored it to the very bottom. And now, having more or less figured it all out, I say — TO HELL WITH IT. To hell with politics. Finally.

Nobody's inviting me to the negotiating table, nobody's asking me to take part in the process directly. Nobody's asking me for military advice. Nobody asked me what I thought about the coming invasion, and my opinion on the current political situation plays NO role whatsoever. So )) I no longer care about squabbles between states — I'm sure they'll sort things out among themselves sooner or later without my intervention.

I think the same goes for most of you too. I'm sure many of you also have this topic stuck in your throat, like that overblown Covid thing once was for no sensible reason. So whatever the top brass decide, that's how it'll be, and you can adapt to any outcome.

There are far more interesting things than figuring out who's conducting an operation on whom, slapping on yet another hundred thousand sanctions (each one more of a joke than the last), accusing each other of provocation (who really shit the bed here).

Personally, I didn't shit the bed and I didn't send anyone off for reincarnation during the special operation. All I've done so far is post what I think about all this on my wall, even though nobody asked me to. Sometimes pleasant, sometimes disappointing. But I haven't taken any concrete political actions so far, and I'm unlikely to.

Honestly — I've stopped caring about political games. What concerns me far more is my own development, my life measured in millions of years, and the quality of life of the people close to me. Yes, I care about the growth of their awareness, their development, and I also care about nature, especially Russia's, and the state of the planet as a whole.

Of course, I find the idea of the dollar collapsing appealing. But even if that doesn't happen, I'll get over it easily. Not fatal. )) Dollar so be dollar, what now. We lived somehow, achieved successes. Whoever really wanted it, made it happen. Things could have been easier, but opportunities always were and always will be. Whoever needs it will get theirs, and nothing will stand in their way. It's just that the balance of power was heavily in America's favor — that's true, hence the "vise" in countries unfriendly to the US. Again, whoever wants it gets it regardless of the weather. But everything's heading toward the dollar crashing to the level of a national currency soon. If not today, then in a year or five. And overall, that's good. We'll live in a multipolar world — let's see what comes of it.

Politics is a dirty, gloomy topic. What's the point of someone taking a stance? Nobody gives a shit. And first and foremost, those at the helm — none of them rely on the people's opinion and never have (not in Greece, not in Rome, not in Europe, not in America, not in the Union, not in China, not anywhere else). And why on earth would they, when they can get away with not doing it? What suddenly makes them so kind?

Maybe it's for the best. Not all people are educated enough, and sometimes folks think reflexively on the level of "like it — don't like it," "So-and-so's speeches inspired me — didn't inspire me." Well, you know... What opinion would a citizen with three grades of education have, who's done nothing his whole life but drink? He definitely doesn't deserve a vote; his voice should in no way be equal to a professor's — that's obvious. And no self-respecting people would want a clown for a president.

Power and the people are not united — historically there's a chasm between them. In Europe, it's just as deep, just a bit more polished. Moreover, people there are lulled by their so-called democracy, which, I must say, has dealt a blow to some fundamental personal foundations, making people there not quite fit for survival, and in tough times they'll frantically look for someone to help them, because on a subconscious level they're irresponsible and dependent.

This isn't about everyone, of course. It's about the egregore of the European person. Obviously, there are worthy people, and plenty of them — I know some personally.

Here (about European values) I'm talking specifically about Parent #1 and Parent #2, people's attitude toward sex change as something completely normal, and other liberalist idiocy I'd rather keep quiet about. In such matters, the state simply must intervene and restrict freedoms, otherwise people will fundamentally destroy themselves. And then it'll become something historical, and generation after generation will give birth to the same broken perverts as Parent #1 and Parent #2. Their authorities don't do this, don't deprive citizens of freedoms in this area for their own reasons. They benefit from a docile people with shattered values about the natural order of things. And they got what they wanted.

Now a little about Russia. If by the end of the year there are no noticeable improvements in the quality of life for the population in our country (and my opinion is — at the current pace, we have every chance of hitting the jackpot by the start of winter relative to unfriendly countries) compared to the current situation, if the "vise" remains and it doesn't get easier to breathe (for people in general — it's clear that some understand everything in their lives depends on themselves and the state plays a secondary role), then I'll say the deep state has completely spat on the common people (folks with no political weight).

I was never a fan of Lenin, but maybe he was right when he said that in practice there's only one struggle — class struggle. Those in power will always come to an agreement among themselves (if they haven't already), while ordinary people direct aggression at each other, quarrel, fight among themselves, thereby inflaming the conflict even more.

But if you look deeper, there's only one kind of struggle — internal. Until it's overcome, humanity will be doomed to war. I suppose it'll always be this way, because humanity itself doesn't fundamentally change. Just look at history — what in us has changed over the last 2000 years to make us hope we'll all peacefully transition into a world of unconditional love, which has become so fashionable to talk about?

I get along well with Europeans, Canadians, Mexicans, and other ordinary people from different countries. With Ukrainians who support their country — that doesn't stop me from having a dialogue with them. On a soul level, we're completely on the same wavelength, even if we might have different views on what's happening. What unites us all is one thing — we have zero weight in world politics. All we can do in that regard is talk and be human with each other.

So I think enough talk, enough of all this news and the rest. There are far more urgent things — developing yourself, restoring memory, genetic abilities. If you don't do this now, there's a risk of one day not making it in time.

Time is ticking... There's less of it, and we're getting older. If you don't reverse age now, there's a chance of suddenly growing old in just 10 years. And that — that's a real defeat. Not all this stuff we see on TV or out our window.

An old body can't generate enough energy for awareness, and we'll be forced to swap it — in an old body, remembering yourself becomes extremely difficult if this process wasn't started in youth and set on a conveyor belt.

The body is very important. You have to live long, at least 900 years. There's truly a tremendous amount to get done. A mere 100 years is nothing — not even the age of a teenager, but a spiritual infant.

So, neither the arrival of evil alien invaders, nor a sea monster rising from the ocean depths for your soul, nor ice giants, nor legions of demons from Hell, nor political news (especially that) should distract from the Goal.

All that crap is secondary,
So to hell with it —
Time to return to the Urgent.

Everything in its measure —
We've dug in enough.
