About programing the masses through festivals and raves...

"Why do you think it's called Beach, PLEASE?

Not "Beach Party". Not "Beach Festival". But; Beach, PLEASE...

As a request. As a schedule. As an elegant command for your subconscious.

And you go, with a smile on your face, serene, enthusiastic, with alcohol in your blood. With your mind on "vacation".

Perfectly prepared for the scheduled indoctrination...

Let me explain to you how modern mass hypnosis works:

UNTOLD = "Unsaid". What is not said? What remains hidden? Your subconscious loves mystery. It automatically opens up to "find out".

SAGA = Epic story. Heroic. It makes you part of something "big". Your ego takes the bait. You want to be a hero, right?

NEVERSEA = "Never the sea". Negation + impossibility. The subconscious does not process negation. It only hears "THE SEA". Infinity. Loss.

Now add the ingredients:

- Alcohol = The conscious-subconscious barrier disappears
- Drugs = You are literally in a chemical trance
- Music at 120+ BPM = Induces trance through rhythm
- Strobe lights = Sensory disorientation
- Mass of people = Group psychosis

The result: your subconscious is like a blank page. Ready to be written.

And WHAT is written in your mind for 8 hours non-stop?

"Fuck bitches, get money" "I don't give a fuck" "We're gonna die young" "Money, cash, hoes" Repeated 1000 times. In a trance. Directly into the subconscious.

Do you know what this is called in NLP? PROGRAMMING BY REPETITION IN AN ALTERED STATE. The most effective form of installing beliefs.

Hitler knew this. That's why he held rallies at night, with torches. Cults know this. That's why they have rituals with repetitive chants. The music industry knows this. That's why they sell you "experiences", not concerts.

"But Magda, it's just fun!"

Soooo CHANGE THE FREQUENCY OF SOCIETY

Every generation has its opium. Ours comes with bass and lights.

What can you do?

1. If you go - be AWAKE I don't just mean substances. Be mentally awake. Observe. Don't get completely absorbed.

2. Consciously choose WHAT you listen to: Not everything on the main stage. Look for artists with messages that build you up.

3. DETOX after: Meditation. Nature. Silence. Let your brain reset.

4. Ask yourself: After the festival, are you closer or further from who you want to be?

"You're a hater!" "You don't understand youth culture!" "It's art, not propaganda!"

OK…. The results will be seen in a few years.

When this generation turns 30 and wonders why:

- They can't sit still for 5 minutes

- They need constant stimulation

- Relationships last as long as a story on Instagram

- I always feel like "something is missing"

I'll be here. With the same question:

What have you programmed yourself to believe this summer?

P.S. If this post bothered you, ask yourself why. Maybe it's because a part of you KNOWS it's true."

Organic engineering, the eternal conundrum with no solution in sight

Square and rounded things... engineering... have their purpose;

Cheap,

easy to make,

convenient to use

intuitive to use, no need for school,

robust and repairable

look at cars; everything is engineering, otherwise it would cost as much as a Lamborghini, and honestly, who can afford something like that? one in a thousand? maybe even less.

Look at houses, furniture, architecture in general, nothing organic.

Because a tree is organic, but you can't really live in it as it is in its natural state, nor can you use it as furniture as is.

A horse is organic, but you can't really use it for family trips, or for carrying goods, you need a cart, inorganic but practical.

Aaaa... some ornamentation is added to the visible surface that reminds of organic... that's just artistic, zero practical function, on the contrary, it makes that piece harder to maintain, harder to clean, much more expensive to produce, replace, etc.

Example of inorganic engineering... the Eiffel Tower, looks like a penis, zero art, but demonstrates the capabilities of metal joints in assembly, resistance over time, maintenance, etc.

A few kilometers away, the French tried to make organic architecture and engineering, the Centre Georges Pompidou, a piece of shit came out, which to my horror I visited for a whole day.

Nature produces organically because it has its needs and limitations, we do engineering for the same reason.

The organic has its place in art, where the need for practicality is zero or almost zero, and in the past it was limited to copying nature as faithfully as possible, today we want to give nature lessons in art, well, Picasso and Goya are two praised examples but in my opinion they are absolute failures, I mean you want to give nature a lesson... well, nature has billions of years of experience and Picasso had at most a few dozen years of talent and experience.

You want organic, learn Blender, a free mesh modeling program with some minimal parametric functions.

Amateurs' advice, Blender is not easy to learn, digest and use, it's a whole world, a different culture. You have to have blood in your system to get into Blender.

You want engineering, learn FreeCad, but like Blender... either you have blood in your veins or you soften like a fire hose when the water pressure drops.

Farming humans, but make them believe they are free...

The state, any state, from early feudalism to modern forms of feudalism, has a major interest in turning anyone and any activity into delinquency.

It is forbidden to drive cars on public roads, operate a shop, digger, weld, talk to public, teach, anything you immagine ; it is forbidden to you to do - included marriage, but in derogation you can get a "license" which means you are authorised, even if do not qualify (really, why do you call it a license and not a qualification?)


Driving, meaning they allow you to drive, as well as with any business, you need an authorization , that is, they authorize you that otherwise it is illegal to drive, to produce, to buy, to sell, etc.

That way; whoever does anything is a criminal, you wake up in the morning, the simple act of opening the eyes is already a violation of the law, but we pretend we can't see it until something you say gets on our nerves, then hop we'll jump on you, it's impossible for us not to find something, not necessarily related to what you were saying, and not to burn you out of your head, that's how you learn to stay put and next to you all the suckers who think of something crazy; learn to stay put.

Simple and efficient. It works with the suckers, but when the suckers become desperate ...it doesn't work anylonger. (see Sri Lanka)

Tool Changing 3D-Printers, the incoming wave...

I have being into designing and building customized 3D printers from 2011 onwards, dreaming of a multy-tool changer for a decade, and there was like a wall that nobody would be able to jump over, all hit their head against it and nothing could smash a hole in it to let us cross forward, untill;

E3D ToolChanger and Motion System came alive

They actually broke the ice for good, not some timid attempt by some daring DIY nut like me, nope, industrial produced in series for the masses, but... with a Ferary price tag, some 5000 USD, plus some long waiting list, factor into it some month or two of assembly, programing, fine tunning, errors hunting and debugging... nerve wrecking but they were the "Ford Model T" of the tool Changers, now discontinued.

And than nothing, nobody dared to follow them up, take them on their own challenge, enlarge the niche in the wall.

So back to the miriade of peniless enthusiasts that invented their own tool changers on their own, like DAKSH , not necesarelly with E3D system (fixed alignemnt electromecanically locked or unlocked via an actuator) but with magnetic retention for the tool and side sliding to release it from the magnets, or with self aligning mechanical approach where the parked tool kind of floats on a horizontal loose system that allows for parking and picking position like Blackbox3D errors that E3D would simply crash the machines if it had it, or selling kits to modify existing printers like the Open Source Jubilee Tool Changer Kit or the 3D mential print yourslef manual tool changing Flipper, or the Automated Flipper or clones of the E3D like dhm-online toolchanger-motion-system kit you can buy ready made, well machined and compatible with many existing 3D printers etc...

Of course if you go DYI be it by buying ready made kits or by buying STL files to print your own, than you have the whole burden of the E3D initial haeadache, just with little or no support at all so... forums and other discussion to figure it out how to integrate the mechanics you have in the firmware... reliably.

But now something happens, after the wave of CoreXY printers from 2016 onwards getting better and better, culminating with Bambulab series copied by just about any other major player from Creality to Quidi and the rest, Prusa included, now a new wave is about to hit the market, the cheapper tool changers ever, ready made and ready to print out of the box... and it started with Prusa, that obviously went the E3D way, expensive, buggy... let the comunity help them out to make it work... and it worked... somehow.

After a short pause of... preparations, all of a sudden we have on kickstarter cheaper options, about half the price or less, getting ready to hit the market, like:

Moso MT Automatic 4 Tool Changer

ProForge 5 from Makertech3D

Or Snapmaker U1!

flooding with ads Facebook, Tik-Tock and Instagram, plus a wave of Youtube promotional videos by various influencers, maskerated as "unboxing" or "testing" or even "review", and the heavy players are not even in yet, except for Prusa.

Creality, Quidi, TronXY and the rest are still in devellopement, most probably for the software bugs that keep them up at nights... but they are due to come, 3 years from now a Tool Changer might cost you less than 1000 USD, have a printing volume around 400X400X400 MM or bigger (E3D was ... shy, 300X200X300, but ... bed temp 200C and hotend 500C... things that will go unmatched for the next 3 to 5 years by the heavy players).

So my reliable E3D toolchanger just become obsolete, but... stil reliable.

I'd rather have a question that I cannot answer, than an answer that I cannot question.

How do you tell mentally ill people from the rest?

Well, they have rights,

Even when they don't

Especially when they don't

And God forbid you tell them they don't

You are a Fascist, a hater

How dare you...

You have no right to say that,

Actually you have no rights at all,

Even if you do

Especially if you do

Most important, if you are right

Than you have no rights at all.

Only they have.

Blessed they that can ignore the others, for they will enjoy peace on a daily basis.

Naturally, dear random person who sends me a very personal email (which was clearly NOT written by chatGPT... lol) about all the things wrong in my website which you don't even name.

I will absolutelly reply and trust you and gladly give you my money.

I have being married for 30 years, now separated, if marriage taught me something is to ignore graciously this kind of emails, just as I grew up to (and specialized in) ignoring her abusive manipulative demanding need to subjugate and manipulate me into oblivion for the taste of it and no other reason.

I receive them mails on this tune on all my work and personal emails a few times a day and if I reply only to kindly tell them to leave me alone, than they really start getting back again and again and again, from various other email addresses demanding I work with them and that they have the magic wand to all my (banking, savings, investments, pension plan, website, SEO, etc ) needs.

They are as demanding and absurd as my ex was, so I treat them just like they were her, or her mom, or any other abusive person I ever dealt with since I learned my lesson; I ignore their existence and save me the hassle.

Boy, whosoever invented that DELETE function was a genius.

Revolution, involution, evolution.

Revolution is not Evolution is rather reinvolution.

We do not need revolutions, we need evolution.

Revolution, from the Latin; Revolvere, to rotate, in other words, the outer rim rotates it's different sectors around the same central hub, nothing changes, just for a while another part of the rim will touch the ground and bear the weight.

Evolution, from the Latin; Evolvere. It means to sprout out and grow interdependently from the original form/seed and the food that feeds the growth into better, more resilient, smarter, more adapted version.

The powers (political, religious, economic, social, etc) to be always want revolutions, because they are the hub that controls everything, and just cosmetically rotate the outer rim to make believe something changed, it did not.

The powers to be (see the list above) hate Evolution, where they remain but a mere point of origin rendered insignificant and useless once the evolved version has anchored itself into realities around and relies on them to be and grow.

I personally evolve, not revolve, that is my resolve.
