Notes
Znakhar (Rus. “знахарь”) — a “witch-doctor”, an individual possessing certain knowledge about how the world works, but using it to serve their own selfish interests while exploiting society, and wittingly cultivating ignorance and perverted knowledge in the exploited society.
Solipsism (Lat. solus - singular, and ipse — oneself): a theory, according to which exists only the human and his consciousness, and the objective world, including other people, exist only in the conscious perception of an individual. (“Philosophical dictionary”, Politizdat, 1981.).
“Set theory” is a branch of mathematics where a “set” (a collection of objects) is a fundamental notion.
Like integrals with infinite integration boundaries may converge to finite quantities.
The formulation of the second law of dialectics about the passage of quantitative changes into qualitative changes is superficial and ambiguous. In reality: There exists an interdependence of quality with order and quantity, and accordingly — quantitative and order changes lead to qualitative changes, and qualitative changes manifest in changes of order and quantity. It is useful to note, that in comments to the traditional formulation of the second law of dialectics, the notion of “measure” is often mentioned, but nothing is said about the order, even though the same quantity may be ordered differently, leading to a different qualitative state, as the case is with isomers in chemistry.
Culture in current context is understood as all information, not passed from generation to generation genetically in a ready-to-use form.
While projecting film with a speed less than 15 frames per second, the conscious perceives the imagery as a sequence of frames; while projecting film at a rate of 16 frames or more, all frames are no longer distinguished and the conscious perceives them as a continuous movie.
L.N. Gumilev has lifted moral-ethical responsibility from people for the “ethnogenesis stereotypes” identified by him, by classing them as laws of nature: “... here we see phenomenon determined by nature, for which a person does not hold any moral responsibility, even if this phenomenon brings about destruction to the beautiful virgin nature and magnificent foreign culture. It is sad, of course, but what can we do?” (L.N. Gumilev, “Ethnogenesis and the Biosphere of Earth”, third edition, stereotypical, Leningrad, “Hydromet-izdat”, 1990, page 462). But such view is unworthy of a human... In this statement he was mistaken and unjust.
In the sense of the operator of many programming languages “DECLARE”, describing properties of objects, which are processed by the program’s algorithm.
Hedonism (from greek hedone — pleasure) — a school of thought in ethics asserting pleasure and amusement as the highest aim and motive of human behavior (Ekipur). In the new time it is character to utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is a principle of judging all phenomena based on their usefulness. In contemporary lively language, hedonism is slavery in reckless, all-destroying, suicidal voluptuousness.
In accordance with this arrangement of instinctually-based behavior programs, under an animal psyche type: ● direct psychological pressure of a woman on her spouse is effective in the majority of cases, but she herself is defenceless against direct pressure on her by her children (a woman can generally protect herself from it only if she causes direct pressure on children by her spouse); ● direct psychological pressure of the woman’s spouse on her children is effective, if children do not protect themselves by causing pressure of their mother on her spouse. In a family, where in one way or another the animal psyche type dominates, but in a soft form of relations, when direct pressure is rarely applied, the mother can explain to the father, what the children want; and children may explain to the mother, why she is having conflicts with the father (or a man who has taken on the duties of a father). But this normal behaviour arrangement may be manipulated by the change to demonic psyche type, turning the life of a family into a silent (internal, spiritual) or loud nightmare: children demonstrate their maturity to their father, at the same time daughters strive to gain female psychological power over him. Husbands begin to treat their wives like they have treated their children. Mothers try to gain female psychological power over grown sons or cannot live in harmony with their aged matured daughters, if they are unable to force their children into psychological infancy, when the will of children is not active. If mothers manage to maintain children in psychological infancy or are unrelenting in their strive to force children into psychological infancy, then mothers themselves mangle the fates of their children, destroying their families and excluding the very possibility of family happiness of children in their own families. In a family, built upon the domination among its members of a humane psyche type, conflicts — including those resulting from change in family composition and age of its members — do not occur. Under non-humane psyche types, change in age of family members, change in family composition always results in conflicts, as a result of inadequacy of unchanging algorithms of instinctive programs to changing life circumstances.
Minds of all other highly developed animals cannot escape the limits, set from Above in the matrix, that predetermines life of the current biosphere.
