Existentialism is a constant awareness of one's limited TTL - 

Time To Live. It drives us to use our precious time in the best economical and creative way. Existentialism formula for humanity -

do or die!

 1. From ancient philosophers, I would name Socrates, Plato, and Marcus Aurelius. 

2. From modern times - Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud, and Karl Young.

3. From Eastern - Buddha, Lao Tzu, and Suzuki. 

4. From Eastern European tradition - Ukrainian Григорій Сковорода - 300 years old just today! - Russian Николай Бердяев, and poet-philosopher Заболоцкий.

Quantum computing will probably better describe the relationship between the brain and mind. Working at the atomic level could finally give us an understanding, in the foreseeable future, of how the ideas in language interact with the human body BioWare.

The PC hardware/software comparison only gives a rough description of our body-mind relationship.

Brain vs Mind

 In terms of our digital time::

the brain is hardware,

a mind is software.

Modern robotics started at a point when we added software to hardware - the first step in AI development

Philosophy is not a love for wisdom.

Philosophy is the process of creating wisdom,

 it is dynamic, not static

 "There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America." ( Wit & Wisdom." The Week, no. 1024 )

Applying this formula to the whole World could give us an even better result:

"There is nothing wrong with the World that cannot be cured by what is right with the World."

So, let's roll our sleeves

Mr. Musk has tried to be a Jack of all: his outstanding achievement in Space X and the electric cars business do not make him a great social media manager. 

Twitter's future is not in the hands of Elon Musk but in the hands of

Social Media users - slightest fluctuations in the customers' mood 

could bring a multi-billion social media giant to its knees.

There is a chance that colonizing Mars could be an easier task than 

managing a $44 billion internet toy

For Ukraine, the worst-case scenario could be something that we can call the Afghanistan Moment. It’s  when the Biden administration suddenly dropped its support for Afghanistan after 20 years of war and left Afghanistan people at the mercy of the enemy.

The upcoming November 8th midterm election will throw the dice and, to some degree, decide the fate of Ukraine's independence and the Ukrainian people as a nation. 

The only thing that could save Ukraine is the Ukrainian people themselves. Слава Україні!

I would instead compare nationalism to alcohol proof: 

It could be just beer or potent moonshine, wine, or vodka.

Also, it matters who drinks it - remember the “happy end”

of The Beer Hall Putsch in 1923 Munich?

There's a new word in the Russian language: могилизейшен. It's a combo of two words: могила (grave) and mobilisation; in English, it could sound like gravilization or mobilization into the grave.

It's a bitter and sarcastic nickname for Putin's mobilisation policy to call up 300,000 Russian men for a senseless, suicidal war in Ukraine. Those eligible to be mobilised have just two options: either become cannon fodder in Ukraine or run away to save their lives.

On the other hand, the Russian intelligentsia is leaving the country in mass. This new wave of Russian escapees we can compare to so-called "philosophical" emigration in 1920, just after the revolution, when thousands of Russian intellectuals - writers, philosophers, and scientists - were put on the ship and thrown away from USSR

Nobel Peace Prize to three human rights groups in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia is a powerful sign of continuing global struggle between democracy and newly resurrected autocracy. Paradoxically, this Peace Prize is an act of ideological war by itself between two political systems, between East and West, between the past and future of humanity.… Unfortunately, a future could be cloudy and rainy, and history could be easily repackaged and romanticized for hungry and disoriented masses to digest.

Russia vs. Ukraine standoff ain't an accident or a personal wish of a single man. It's a symptom of incompatibility and a sign of a widening gap between the West and East. Russia is returning to its original Gengihis Khan’s cradle. Ukraine is getting back to its long-forgotten Mother Europe. Hopely, this painful and complicated process will be as peaceful as possible. And either side will be happier in the glorious humanity's future.

As a “proof”, there's a quote from great Russian poet Alexandr Block: 

«Да, скифы - мы! 

Да, азиаты - мы!

С раскосыми и жадными очами…»

« Yes, we are - Scythians!

Yes, we are - Asians!

With a narrow, greedy eyes…”
