The older I get, the less I argue. Not because I agree, but because silence exposes foolishness better than words ever could.

I learned the hard way that the best thing you can do is stay LOW-PROFILE. No noise, no media, no explanations, no competition, no wasting time on useless coffees or dinners outside. Just peace, focus, quiet progress, and pure happiness.

When people ask me whether I’ve read a certain book or watched a certain movie, my answer is always “NO.” Why would I waste energy discussing it when everyone already 'knows' better than me?

For decades, I have claimed that the strongest future alliance will be a Judeo-Muslim coalition, not a Judeo-Christian one. The idea may seem unthinkable today, just as the Judeo-Christian alliance was unimaginable before the mid-20th century. Call me crazy if you wish, but mark my words.

I have never been interested in famous people. I do not follow them and I do not care about them. Yet my social media feed is full of Trump and I am sick of it. Show him to Americans so they can see whom they voted for. Not to the rest of us. We do not want to see stupid people.

It doesn’t matter how many times we say we don’t care; there always come moments when we do care. A lot.

If listening to audiobooks is considered reading a book, then watching movies must also be reading a book. They are just videobooks. But neither of them is actually reading. Period.

It’s an excellent time to re-read George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’.

Everything you’ve heard about me is true. Believe it. I have no time, will, or energy to explain.

You can also add your own story. Fine with me. It says more about you than me.

A high level of intellect often makes a man socially selective, placing priorities above all else.

The USA is a third-world country with oligarchs in power: poor citizens, a flawed election system, no free basic medical care, rampant political bribery, and extremely wealthy individuals.

At work, you are totally replaceable. At home, you are not. Home is where your real life is. Never lose sight of that.

I don’t need a personal trainer. My mirror already shouts at me every morning for free. 🙄

I want to read posts on Facebook like in the old days: in the post itself. Now I have to open the comments section to find the link to the post, and that exposes me to stupid comments that ruin my day.

I just installed Debian 13. After 20+ years on Linux, I’ve never seen Debian like this. UEFI, Wi-Fi, graphics, and all modern hardware worked immediately. No hunting for drivers, no extra packages, no painful tweaks that made people switch to Mint or Ubuntu. Finally, a 21st-century Debian.

Just to be clear: if you’re on a bike, bicycle, or scooter, you’re NOT a pedestrian, even if you stop at the pedestrian crossing. Different rules apply for vehicles. I don’t have to stop for you to cross the street.

Travel only to countries that value hospitality and honor their guests. Leave the rest to their own misery.

When anything goes wrong:

Russia: Blame foreign agents.
US: Rob the shops.
Israel: Occupy new lands.
Turkey: Buy gold.
Greece: Blame Turkey.
Iran: Blame the USA.
North Macedonia: Blame literally everybody else.
Germany: Schedule a committee to investigate.

The SUN’s energy is FREE. Yet, to harness it, you need a government license. And that is not free. Tell me again about logic.

Want more likes? Write politically correct, populist posts. The kind everyone wants to hear. But to do that, you have to LIE. That is what makes a post popular.

Academic life is just balancing deadlines, caffeine, existential questions, and the occasional moment of actual learning.

Somehow, I'm still here.

I'll be honest—even though most of you have probably never faced such extremely disturbing and sad moments and events in your lives, the most devastating ones in mine were when Lemmy Kilmister died, then one month later my father, and now Ozzy Osbourne.

If it's too loud, you're too old.

Don't use the name 'X'—call it Twitter. Don't follow what that X person says.

The universe has a sense of humor. Be free, and you'll get zero calls or messages. Be overly busy, and 8 billion people will contact you all at once.

Me in Skopje at 41°C:

Dressed in black, long-haired, and trapped in sport shoes—basically a solar panel with regrets.

That’s why we don’t need saunas in North Macedonia. We sweat naturally. Excessively.

The older I get, the more I understand why some people choose to disappear and live a quiet, private life.

🤷

Live loudly — only then can you truly respect silence.

The word "run" has over 600 different meanings, making it the English word with the most senses according to the Oxford Eng. Dict. It functions as a verb, noun, and even part of idiomatic expressions (e.g. run a company, a run in stockings, a run of bad luck), showcasing English's extreme polysemy.

As of today, I am 21,000 days old.
