MY CURRENT MESSAGE TO THE FUTURE
‘You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. ...’ :-)
1 Basically, the global economic system dictates its own rules against common sense because the goal is to increase our consumption and make more money for the power provided by it within the slavery system – as the heritage of our civilisation – and hence against humanity.
2 This ‘economic’ point can be debating because it is very difficult to completely ignore it. This is somehow a goal and until that day, I might need it simply for more autonomy concerning personal needs – as some kind of transitional state. The main idea is to contribute as far as possible to the optimisation of sharing resources. In that way, at my own humble personal level, I should cost no money.
3 See note 1.
4 ‘No-conventional’ or in other words not depending or serving on any kind of institution. For instance, I am working on an AI (Artificial Intelligence) as alternative research, i.e. not for industry or business, nor to get any diploma allowing marketable skills, but more about understanding what is an AI beyond the common idea of it, and more specifically how to manage musical composition within an algorithmic system.
