Thoughts
This page includes thoughts that I want to share. These thoughts are usually quite small and done without research, when I feel like writing something without making a full article.
Why couldn't we have a simpler JavaScript alternative?
23/02/26
Forgive me if I am uninformed, but why couldn't we have had a simple scripting language for the web? Something that allowed for forms, image galleries, buttons, automatic background image switching (based on time), or an alert box, without enabling 20mb heavy JavaScript tracking pages that follow your mouse and use tracking pixels, shove ads up your ass, and more. Because in some instances, JavaScript is genuinely useful, but obviously it has lead to the death of the "classic" internet. I found an interesting article at Chimaera's website (archived) called "How the 'You are an idiot' trojan warned us of the dangers of Javascript" (archived). I think he makes a very valid point in that JS is a joke and how it enables spying on users without them even knowing.
If I were the "owner of the internet" :D, I would have scrapped JS before it was even created, and instead created a language called "WebScript", which does the basics mentioned above (image galleries, etc), but nothing more. It would have been tightly regulated and made sure that it can only perform basic tasks. THis would prevent it from becoming the behemoth that JS is today.
However, unfortunately the "owner of the internet" is/was Google/Mozilla, so I guess we can't have any nice things. Money ruins everything I suppose.
PHP is really cool, but should only be used on the server
17/02/26
My website uses a fair bit of PHP on the server, because I am lazy. I have PHP scripts that: generate an RSS feed for me (with support for manual entries), creates a TOC for each article, and I plan on making some that will automate SSI (e.g. for a website mirror which is hosted on a server which does not support SSI), photo gallery showing every picture on the site, and one that archives links via MAFF format so that they can be viewed even if the other website goes offline or changes the content. Hence, PHP can be a very useful tool for webmasters to automate annoying tasks on their website.
However, that is not to say that PHP is always good. It should not be used on the site unless absolutely necessary, because there are usually better ways of doing things that have less bloat. I think it may be good for the occasional form, and guestbook, but other than those uses I do not think it should be used.
Apparently, PHP is very hard to code, but I found it to be relatively simple to read and understand. I did not write any code, but rather just copied snippets from other websites and tutorials to make my own.
The system uses its people for its own benefit
17/02/26
Looking at the whole carbon tax, vegan, plant-based ideas present in society, it is visible that "the system" uses normal people to achieve its goals. People are brainwashed into thinking that these ways of living (e.g. turning off the heating or lights in your house) will improve the the environment, etc. Even though the majority of energy usage is actually used by creating the products that these very same people consume. Watching a movie on Netflix, writing a prompt into ChatGPT, etc, all use more energy than eating a steak or leaving the lights on.
There are countless examples of the system using people for its own benefit, which can also be seen in government sometimes. Some people have been conditioned to only listen to what the media or government says. If one of these people were to go into government, they would not actually be working against people on purpose, but rather be using their corrupted ideas, to cause harm to people - without realising it.
Hopefully you understand what I mean.
(Local) AI is pretty useful
16/02/26
The fact that we can run AI locally is actually one of the rare benefits of AI, looking past all the other goyslop. It is really cool that (provided you have powerful enough hardware), you can access so much knowledge via a local AI model. If you have an uncensored one, you could use it to learn how to do something useful in an emergency - such as building a bomb :D. It also holds knowledge of so much and it is super easy to ask a question to it, e.g it might help you identify a leaf/plant, animal, location. It also could help you translate, give recipes, etc. Having a local wikipedia backup would also be useful but you would have to add your own content because it might not have everything you need (recipes, translations come to mind).
Learning new things properly
11/02/26
I have a basic protocol for learning new things:
- Research the topic
- Make detailed notes on it and try to fully understand it (e.g. if it is a physics formula, learn how to fully derive and use it)
- Explain the topic to someone else or do a small "test" on it (this could be e.g. a past paper for physics, debating someone on a topic, explaining it to someone else, or writing down ideas on the subject without referencing previous notes)
- Looking back at this and repeating step 3
Now this may seem really obvious to some, but it is the method that you must stick to when learning something, at least in my opinion. I don't see another way to learn and maintain information as effectively, and sometimes it is so easy to overcomplicate things by, for example, colour coding every piece of information, using 10 million different note taking softwares (just use paper!), etc. Sure, have a system to take the notes differently depending on the subject, but do not overthink it. For physics, I write down the key definitions of the topic, then explain forumlas and derive them. For my knowledge on a certain topic such as LEDs, I do research, make an article, then talk to peope about it/debate.
TLDR; Don't overcomplicate things.
Consistency is key
11/02/26
Consistency is the basis of progress. Looking at my sleep article specifically, you get an idea of how to sleep properly. But what does that even matter if you only do it for one day? You might have a nice sleep, but only for one day and this will not benefit you at all in the long term. However, if you sleep really well like this every day, you will see the clear benefits. Same can be said for the gym, stamina training, studying, etc.
Another specific example is this website (or if you have one yourself). If every day, I write a thought like this and every week/month an article like the ones listed on the articles page, eventually I will have a very big collection of constantly improving knowledge and wisdom. The site will be very popular because of the sheer quality and volume of the articles it has (if you write and improve them constantly).
You can literally start from nothing and work slowly towards your goal, and over time you will always get something great. Even if you do now have a goal and are aimlessly doing work, at one point you will figure it out. So just start doing something you like and even if you don't have a plan, it will come to you.
Is the "great noticing" just a trend?
08/02/26
It's pretty obvious that there is a lot of "noticing", or whatever you want to call it online since the war in Palestine started. People have been discovering what is really going on behind the scenes, and the implications thereof. But is this yet another passing online trend or will it actually stick? As you know all social media is owned by the group which is being attacked here. They could easily remove it all, as they did during Covid, the New York tunnels incident, and so on... Do they want this to happen? All some questions. I personally believe they want all this to happen because it will help fulfill their prophecies, and likely have a negative effect on us as a whole. There is no other reason why they would allow this to happen if it is not for their benefit.
Advertising is subconscious, and is not only used to make you buy things
08/02/26
When was the last time you ever bought something from an advertisement? Considering that you are on my website, you probably aren't the average person and thus haven't ever purchased something via direct advertisement. By "direct advertisement", I mean things like online website advertisements, billboards, paid sponsorships, etc. I personally have maybe bought something from an advertisement once or twice throughout the course of my entire life, when I was still foolish in regards to the internet.
Instead, advertisements are mainly used as a weapon for spiritual warfare. Think about it, big tobacco thrived because through marketing, they convinced people that smoking was cool and benefitial. We can be very easily influenced by the right sounds, colours, frequencies, and so on, to change our behaviour, which can be used as a way of making people buy more products. Seeing or hearing something enough times without negative context can be enough to convince you it is good, for example, if a normal person sees the same advertisement in the newspaper over a longer period of time, they are more likely to buy that product even if that is done indirectly without thinking about the previous exposure to that advertisement. It's a very concerning topic which has been and will continue to be used by intelligence agencies, governments, and on the less harmful end, advertisement agencies. I also remember seeing some patent or something of the sort on how these repeated signals can be used for mind control. (Unfortunately) Fascinating stuff, remember to watch out for this horrible mind control tactic!
