I’ve been thinking about this whole “when you grow up, you’ll be president” thing. But what’s even good about it? You’d have to decide who lives and who dies… How could anyone ever feel that he has the right to make such a choice? I mean, the worst a businessman can do is make an unpopular decision to downsize and replace people with AI, for example. But that’s not the same as deciding to start a war or ordering an execution for corruption.

Everything depends on what kind of illusion you have created for yourself — one that makes life easier or, on the contrary, complicates it.

God appears where logic stops working.

Historically, God fulfills important functions:

  • keeps a person from falling apart
  • provides a solution for surviving suffering
  • makes it possible to bear loneliness
  • creates a stable point when the world is chaotic

I myself am not important — it is my work that will remain.

Лихорадит душу,
Я обиды не прощаю.
Я разрушу
План твой, обещаю…
My soul is burning, torn apart,
I don’t forgive — I guard my heart.
I’ll break your scheme, just wait and see —
Your plans will fall… because of me.

Mikhail Gorshnev R.I.P. 1973 – 2013 (39 years old).
