About Brexit

  Today I hope greatly that the Brexit will succeed and England will become independent of the EU, at least to significant extent. If so, possibly England will become the only country for me into which I will be able to emigrate from Russia.

  Previously I thought that Ukraine could become such a country, but after getting more information I became very disappointed in Ukraine. I think, Ukrainian people are almost like Russians, with similar mental problems and irrationality, though they probably have a more right ideology. One of the visible cases of Ukrainian irrationality is their attitude to pro-democratic opposition in Russia: it seems that many of the Ukrainians do not distinguish between people like me and “bad” Russians, which are responsible for the sufferings of Ukrainian people. There are many other evidences of the Ukrainian irrationality, and nevertheless I hope that a kind of “mass sobering” will eventually take place in Ukraine. Maybe some day this “mass sobering” will happen in Russia too.

  I am sure that the whole world is degrading more and more. Many people in Russia believe that the Europe is quickly degrading and going to fall, like the Roman empire 1500 years before. And if Britain succeeds leaving EU, it will possibly become the place of birth of a new, healthy society.

  Muslim migration is an evident problem of the Europe. People from Muslim countries settle in Europe and are not being assimilated into the European ethnic majority; otherwise, the Muslims assimilate European people instead. The Muslim minority have a greatly higher birth rate than the indigenous Europeans.

  Not all Muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslims. I am afraid that the Islam can insensibly come to power into Europe, because the European politicians will be afraid of doing things which are not approved by the Muslims.

  Some European politicians say that the Europeans should make some concessions to Muslime, otherwise their actions can provoke terrorism. From the point of view of the Muslims, this looks like that: “we settle in your countries and you should fulfill our wishes, otherwise we will kill your politicians”.

  From the point of view of the Russians, another big problem of the Europe is the “homophilic” politics. I am not a homophobe, but I think that gay parades, where gays are publicly kissing and dancing naked, are big violence for heterosexual people. People in Russia call Europe “Gayrope”. I think that both sides in this dispute are not right – the “propaganda of homosexuality” in the West and the “Homophobic propaganda” in Russia.

  It is difficult for me to ground logically my opinion, that the trend to give the gays the right to publicly exhibit their orientation is a mine for the whole Europe. However, I am sure that this trend was one of the reasons of the civil war in Eastern Ukraine. The results of the Eurovision contest in 2014 greatly discredited the democracy for Russian people, and people in Donbass region got strongly anti-european political views. In our web, this picture was often shown:

 

  I think that there are many other timebombs which can blast Europe and the entire Western civilization some time later. The most fundamental problem is the following: all nations in history, who lived in richness and comfort, became weak and were eventually conquered by less rich nations. I hope that the humanity will finally realize this problem and find ways to solve it. Some Russian bloggers, respected by me, call the salvation of this problem as “moderalism ideology”.

An artificial neural network was trained, adjusting its parameters. Then it was run in “reverse” mode, to show what does it understand by, for example, the word “dumbbell”:

Besides that, a picture was fed to the network, and the network was asked to enhance whatever it detected:

More pictures are here (they are quite psychedelic):

Personal responsibility of the power and consultative branch of power

I believe that the idea of personal responsibility of the power can make the world really better. I have heard about this idea in Ukrainian mass media; as far as I can see, it is a component of the “Maidan ideology”. Ukraine is moving towards implementing this idea: the Ukrainian President has very much power (as far as I can see), unlike, for example, the US president. In autumn 2014 President Poroshenko initiated pre-term parliamentary elections. His aim was to get a loyal parliament, which is able to perform social reforms. I hope, in future the Ukrainian President will get even more legislative power.

However, giving the legislative power to the President raises new problems – one man is not enough competent in the juridical subjects and can easily make faults. I think that this problem can be mostly solved if the parliament obtains a “consultative” function, so it is able to postpone a President’s decision and impose the President some compromise.

Besides that, such “consultative” parliament, together with some other elected representatives of power, will be able to make the President perform a public report of his work. The parliament will be able to raise questions to the President, and the latter will be obliged to answer these questions.

I suppose that in order to implement this, a collective guarantor of constitution is required, which is described in my book. This is very difficult to implement; but I hope that in Ukraine some of these ideas will be partly implemented soon enough.

The magnificent Elon Musk

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk

I am afraid this information is already known by most of the visitors of my blog, but nevertheless I’ll write about that.

Elon Musk is an American multi-millionaire, who was the cofounder of PayPal. Now he has a lot of projects important for the entire world: in particular, he is the founder of SpaceX, a company which constructs space rockets. It has developed the Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 launch vehicles, which have already supplied a lot of cargo into the orbit. Now Musk tries to create a reusable version of Falcon (Falcon-9R), whose first stage will perform a soft landing. It is presumed that if Musk succeeds, this technology will render the cost of space flights 5-10 times cheaper (at the moment, reusable rockets like Shuttle are less efficient than the disposable ones).

The final goal of Musk is the colonization of Mars by humans; he writes (and I fully agree with him) that the colonization of space is needed to secure the humanity against extinction (if a global catastrophe happens on Earth, caused by any unexpected reasons related to technological progress, the humanity will survive outside our planet and draw its conclusions).

As far as I know, Musk has spent approximately 800 million dollars for the development of his rockets, while the Russian government spent about 5.5 billions for the Angara rocket family, and NASA spent about 30 billions for their new multi-usable rockets (not finished yet).

Another project of Musk is Tesla Motors: a company which produces efficient electric cars. The car Tesla S has won several awards and is very popular, in particular due to the battery swapping technology.

Musk has made open the Tesla patents, so probably soon his competitors will create their clones of Tesla cars.

Besides that, Musk is the chairman of SolarCity, a company which produces solar batteries and charging stations. Musk has developed the Powerwall, a new solar battery for home use. I suppose, it is possible that this technology will change the world to no lesser extent than the shale gas. My main hope is that such technologies will end the era or petrocracies like Russia and Iran.

It is written that Musk was once near a bankruptcy, but at the moment his companies are thriving.

Musk is one of the US “technocrats”, i.e. people who have earned billions of dollars with the Internet. Among these people are Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, et al. Some of these people have political activity – in particular, Zuckerberg and Musk once took part in the FWD.us lobbying group which has a goal of immigration reform (this reform would fight illegal migration, favoring migration into the US for talented people). In 2013 Musk left the group because of some conflicts.

I think, if a man has earned a billion of dollars, he must be quite motivated to make the world better. It is even strange that usually this rule do not work (maybe, the reason is that the financial aristocracy in the US is involved in collective responsibility). Nevertheless, it seems for me that such people as Elon Musk are really able to make the world better, and these people have already become more important than such people as Barack Obama. Such people as men belonging to the Rockefeller or Rothschild families have more money and power, but unlike the “technocrats” they are not popular. This is my personal view of the situation, and I am sorry if I misunderstand important things.
