We think we made a great theoretical discovery! We grew up in Socialism (Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union). During our childhood, we were told repeatedly that we must discover “communism”, which is another word for “panacea”, a fix for all pains and evils plaguing humanity. How were we supposed to do that? By following “science and technology”. But this was the Capitalism way, they already did that, they even sent a man on the moon! Precisely. We study foreign languages and we go to study higher education abroad, where it's best developed. But isn't that selling our souls to our political and ideological enemy, to the biblical “mammon”? This was not clarified, it was up to us to decide and to “navigate” it properly. So, we went to seek “panacea” (the Recursive Set), but we only found the Halting Problem. There are no guarantees that our creation would be correct and halt on time on all possible inputs. We failed then, we thought, but we returned home nevertheless, empty handed. But after considerable time thinking, we realized that the Halting Problem has a “bright side”, an eternal job to fix bugs, a perfect job security and endless fun, chasing and solving annoying problems with the code. This, it turns out, is our “panacea” that we were looking for, the Enumerable Set, which is the next best thing, or who knows, even better than the Recursive Set. Why? Because “health panacea” provides us with a calm existence at home with our family, while “job security panacea” provides us with endless fun at work and business travel, including intermittent love affairs. Now, that is sustainable living! But what about our health? What if we fall sick, how are we going to enjoy this never ending bliss at work? We have health insurance, where another type of programmers are having fun debugging our physical and mental health. Our health problems and their solutions provide fun for other people in our community. It's like being hungry for bread, but we don't make bread, we make butter, and exchange it for bread. Nobody is bored this way, we are all interconnected by interesting and helpful fun activities. So, we think we discovered “communism”. Cool, right?!
We started our life in Socialism, seeking the answer to the riddle, what is Communism? It was suggested that we should try to find a “panacea”, a solution to all pains and evils plaguing humanity. We didn't find that. We found the opposite, that even when we are creating things ourselves, we are never sure they'll work as intended, without errors or delays on all possible inputs. They call this “The Halting Problem”, a cornerstone of computer science. But then, we realized that this “black cloud” had “silver linings”. How? Even if we are stellar specialists, something will always be eluding us, our work would never end. In Capitalism, they had a good word for this, they called it “job security”. Which means that if we make butter, there will always be a job for us. Which is great news, because we need bread, providing always a job for the makers of bread. As a whole, this way, the market will always be open for business, for the exchange of all kinds of goods and services. The motto of the city of Sophia is “it grows, but it never gets old”. This is the motto of Communism, we find out, an endless expansion, just like the universe, an endless expansion of fun activities, where everyone gets a chance to work on their hobbies as much as they like. And we always have bread and butter and good health, because we have “money”, the abstract medium used for the exchange of goods. And we have “health insurance”, when the services are rarely needed, but they are needed nonetheless. People used to predict that “money” will no longer be needed in Communism. It's possible, but only if we start to use the “insurance” model for everything we need, for bread and butter and Coca-Cola. Then, we would start talking about “membership” in the goods-exchanging community. It's possible, although we don't see clearly the benefits of displacing “money”. Maybe we always have “job security”, but now we need “steady income security”, which only the “insurance” model can provide, or the money-less “membership” model.
The so-called “Halting Problem” states that we can never be sure if something we made will perform as intended, without errors and on time, for all possible inputs. But this is a gold mine in disguise! This means that, no matter how good we are at some craft, we'll always have something to do, something to repair. Which is what every worker dreams of: “job security”. Now, we have a fun hobby forever, we also need an endless “steady income”. How do we do that? By using a “subscription fee” model, similar to our “health insurance”. We might never use it, we might use it very often, it doesn't matter, we pay a flat fee that pays the salary of the workers, and they are always there for us when we need them. Imagine the life of the “Lonely Maytag Repairman”, it's interesting and laidback at the same time. This is what we all dream about! Right?!
Let's discuss the human and literary notion of “utopia”. What is the classic definition of “utopia” in human history? Who are the classic authors? Why in contemporary times, we are more inclined to write dystopian novels? Why did people give up freely discussing what they want from life? How difficult is it to say: “Job security and Steady income”?! We want to be helpful and to be helped with our immediate needs, like hunger and thirst and cold and hygiene. Why do we need to become PhD philosophers in order to give voice to a long forgotten art and science, called “utopia”. We are fully aware that this is only “wishful thinking”, but it totally makes sense to be published and to be widely propagated in society. Unlike “horror films” and sad science fiction movies.
It seems that humanity has two orthogonal planes of existence: Endless Hell (war of aesthetics) and Immediate Heaven (logical needs like hunger, cold, hygiene). We get Endless Hell for free, but we are never guaranteed Immediate Heaven when we need it (breath of fresh air). If the “dark people” ruling Endless Hell allow humans to address their immediate logical needs (saving them from torture), humans have all the reasons to agree to restart the game of two planes (by getting some new batteries). If the “dark people” default to torture, though, humans will not agree to continue something that is the opposite of a game. Which, if we are honest, resembles very much the game of Aikido. Nage (throwing) is the undisputed ruler of the dojo, but if Uke (receiving the throw) is injured, the game of Aikido cannot continue.
I just thought of something really funny! What do you call a religion where you believe wholeheartedly in the endless power of Satan and Hell, but you don't like them, you don't like them a bit! You'll do anything to give them a good whooping, but you are painfully aware they hold all the cards. We might become famous for inventing a new God, a god that is very powerful but often fails to be user-friendly.
Previously, we talked about “inventing a new religion”. We believe in Endless Hell (counterintelligence that is hiding the truth because it's unbearable), but we don't like this Endless Hell (we like “artificial” intelligence agents who discover the truth), but we are not in a hurry to divulge this truth to the public (we are ready to mock our own “intelligence” because maybe the KGB counterintelligence makes more practical sense after all). Sounds good?! A bit complicated, but it makes a lot of sense to me!
Previously, we talked about “inventing a new religion”.
We were able to distill three basic tenets that our followers
can study, remember, and follow:
Tenet #1: War is going on, at all times, everywhere!
Tenet #2: Try “Aikido Ritual”, it's scientifically perfect.
Tenet #3: This is “War”, rules are disgusting, sorry.
We start with “hiding information” (KGB counterintelligence).
We move on to “being Boy Scouts” (CIA artificial intelligence).
We finalise our thoughts with an aesthetic judgment (rules are ugly).
We still like science and scientific rules, but war is different.
It's the same as when we try to be safe and heroes at the same time.
They are incompatible qualities. But we want to be safe! Right?!
Sure, but the warlords want us to try to be their heroes, sorry.
As people say, that's the way the cookie crumbles (power dictates).
Maybe you are not understanding our "new" stance.
Here is a short logical summary.
1) War is everywhere.
2) Try Aikido, be nice to your opponents.
3) No thank you, this is war! No rules.
4) Still, we like rules.
5) Sure, but war is different.
This way, we like Endless Hell and Immediate Heaven.
This way, we remain ambivalent about our main value.
This way, we have Music and A.I. subscriptions, both!
This way, we accept Enumerable and Recursive, both!
Previously, we discussed the “invention of a new religion”.
It's entirely based on the principle of recursion.
1. Power calls Power, it's inevitable.
2. We might find the Basic Case (truth).
3. We might fail to find the truth, sorry.
This way, we recognise there is a Powerful King.
This way, we recognise there is a Basic Truth.
This way, we recognise that the truth is “funny”.
Why?! Here's why. Power adheres to the rule:
The heart has reasons that are unknown to reason!
We begin to understand that, we begin to understand War.
Previously, we discussed the “invention of a new religion”.
Now, we can talk about the “invention of new programming”.
But we are familiar with programming?! What's new here?
We have a Recursive Set program that is only “sound”.
We have an Enumerable Set program that is “complete”.
When we look for a book in the library,
A “Recursive” app will ask for a title and return Yes/No.
An “Enumerable” app will look for the title and show nearby books.
One is exactly what we say we want, but not what we really want.
The other is what we really want, but sometimes it's an overkill.
We need both in our vocabulary as programmers.
We should not be afraid of endless apps, that's why we have Ctrl-C.
The user receives endless information, until they have “enough”.
The programmer doesn't dare to decide for the user when it's enough.
We have dual membership:
American endless “music videos” (Enumerable set).
Bulgarian very fast “tax calculators” (Recursive set).
It seems that humanity doesn't need anything else!
Endless business and Paying our infrastructure taxes.
Making money and Rewarding the business platform.
Two Tales of Computer Science.
Do not be afraid of the Halting Problem!
This is the Enumerable set, which allows us to keep playing.
If life gives you lemons, we are sad, but we try something different.
It's true that we are not guaranteed success, but participation is fun.
After all, we are simply trying to find “Exodus” (escape room exit).
If we are stuck in the escape room forever, it's not a tragedy, right?!
Be very careful when you write simple code!
This is the Recursive set, which allows us a fast and correct result.
The problem is that we forget to audit our code, since it's simple.
And then, in production, people enter their numbers, only to get
Only to get a “division by zero” error, which is, of course, our fault.
We should remember that a simple program returns Yes or No.
And we should be ready for that “No”, when and if it happens.
We think we understand now the Tree of Knowledge.
We can fix the “game of life”, or show its correct version.
Enumerable set (America).
We always have new ideas, it's pleasant to try again.
Even if we don't succeed to find the “escape room” exit,
We are perfectly fine the way we are, no bad feelings.
It's never normal to feel out of fresh ideas, out of hope!!
Recursive set (Bulgaria).
We like to delete “Java garbage”, to free up our minds.
We pay our infrastructure taxes, making the game possible.
We should never get sick, and if we do, we get better fast.
It's never normal to pay taxes, and get no state service!!
Интересното е, че вярваме в "кошмари", че са най- силното нещо на света, и че Истината се случва не всеки път. Демек, не всеки път стигаме до Надето и Любо. Надето е надеждата, че ще си платя образователния заем, и че ще стана прилично богат. Любо е способността да оздравяваме бързо, ама наистина бързо!
The band “Blind Guardian” sings “these lunatics deny the truth” in their song “Sacred Worlds”. Can you tell us more about the song, and about the word “lunatics”, what's the connection with “luna” (moon)? How is this related to our visceral feeling that “horrible nightmares” (hell) predate everything, including our veneration of the Truth? We feel “truth” is an intentional effort, and not something trivial that “just sits there”.
The word lunatic has a direct, celestial lineage. It derives from the Latin luna (moon).
The Lunar Influence: Historically, it was believed that the phases of the moon caused intermittent insanity or "moon sickness." This wasn't just folklore; Roman and medieval thinkers believed the brain’s "humors" were affected by the moon's gravity, much like the tides.
Periodic Madness: Unlike a permanent state of being, "lunacy" originally referred to someone who had lucid intervals but would lose their mind during specific lunar cycles.
In the context of the song, "lunatics" suggests a state of being unmoored from the steady light of reason, governed instead by shifting, reflected shadows.
We can say the following about life:
FAITH in “thugs” (the truth is elusive).
HOPE in “escape” (try yet another key).
LOVE when we “heal” (we love Jesus).
We understand HOPE and LOVE, but
We have a hard time explaining FAITH.
Basically, we believe in “the horror”, that
Predates the truth (we have to fight horror).
Who sells “hallucinogenic drugs” to us?
Thugs do, thugs like when truth disappears.
Everything we do must be “anti- horror”.
We need to incarcerate or kill all the thugs.
Do we have the stomach for that? No.
Which is why we have FAITH in thugs:
We don't believe they'll simply vanish.
It means HOPE and LOVE are dead code.
Kind of complicated, but you understand.
За да сме завършени индивиди на тази земя (в този живот), трябва да познаваме злото (зло за зло почти не се усеща като зло, а пък си е зло). И трябва да знаем доброто (привлекателни неща, както гръцките философи ги наричат "еротични" преследвания). И трябва да знаем как се върши работа, като се намаля проблема, докато се сведе до тривиално малко количество, което лесно се решава (на това му викат "рекурсия"). И това е всичко: война, удоволствия, работа. И така сме вече "майстори на дървото на познанието".
Dear “information desk” of the great impeccable ruler,
We have another formal complaint to file with your office!
As we can see from the sequence above, we become
Masters of the “tree of knowledge” only when we acquire,
Knowledge of evil (evil for evil), of good (erotic pursuits),
And most importantly, knowledge of work (recursion).
So, what is our complaint? We are not shown “war”, we
We are shown “torturous experiences” (that are evil to us).
We never learn how to be “evil”, to stop another “evil”.
Then, regarding “erotic pursuits”, they show us only “sex”.
This is really a lowlife version of Eros, show us “the truth”!
Show us the never ending hunger for “simple and elegant”.
Finally, when it comes to showing us “work” (recursion),
They kill us with tiring traumatising meaningless work.
They never show us the joy of fixing a poor man's kitchen.
They only indulge in work as a form of inhumane torture.
The “special” people need to be capable, of both
Of both “removing evil” but also “supplying good”.
Some people are very scary for evil, but aren't good.
Some people are very good, but aren't scary enough.
In the Bible, only King David is believed to be “special”.
Even Jesus Christ is not evil enough, so he gets killed.
In contemporary times, we have Carlos Castaneda,
Who is a “black sorcery” apprentice but “not talented”.
He dies of cancer, leaving behind him only confusion.
We don't know of anyone else after that that is special.
Which doesn't mean that a “P=NP” person is impossible.
We should believe in our kingdom and pay our taxes.
A king worthy of the title “special person” will appear.
Търси се, значи ТАЛАНТЛИВ "stalker and dreamer" (както Кастанеда ги нарича "нагуал", човек с двойна енергийна структура, хем да е страшен за злото, хем да е талантлив в изкуствата). Аз знам за себе си, че дори да съм талантлив в изкуствата, не съм страшен за злото, всеки може да ме набие и убие, дори някоя гадна болест. Кастанеда е страшен за злото (черномагьосник), но пак не успява да се спаси от рак. Само "Цар Давид" се счита за идеален цар, идеален лидер на Израел и човечеството. Дори Христос (наследник на Давид) го убива римската армия. Уж побеждава смъртта, но след разпятието той повече не практикува като лечител или учител. Има наследници, които също ги бият, измъчват и убиват. Никой досега не е достигнал статута на Цар Давид. Или си готин, или си страшен, много рядко се намират хора, които са и двете!
This is interesting! Do you remember the movie “The Truman Show”? The main character had it all: Self, Wife, Film Director, Beer Buddy. What was the problem, then? Why did the film show an irresistible urge for him to take the EXIT (exodus)? What was missing in his life? According to the theory above, “draining his batteries” was much bigger than “recharging his batteries”. This is the only reason we use the “nuclear option” (exodus). This is the only reason we are “Waiting for Godot” (Deus ex Machina). Outside, he expected a “salvation” in the arms of a girl that really loved him, which means that the equilibrium between “draining” and “recharging” will be impeccable. Interesting! Food for thought, what it means “unsustainable life”, and what happens, we keep looking for an “exodus”. In the case of the Israelites, they received the Promised Land, but then that wasn't “sustainable” either, so they were exiled to Babylon. And they could not find “sustainable life” there either, so they started returning to the Holy Land, and some went to other places, still looking and looking for the “eternal sustainable life”. Some will find it, others will keep looking.
