My personal dictionary allows you to find out my personal opinion about the basic terms of human life One of the first images recorded by the LHC (ALICE, ATLAS and CMS) during a Pb proton collision in 2010 One of the first images recorded by the LHC (ALICE, ATLAS and CMS) during a collision of protons and Pb ions in 2012-2013 One of the illustrative images of the table of elementary (subatomic) particles (constantly updated) One of the illustrative images of the processes of DNA and RNA transcription of proteins from amino acids One of the free illustrations on the topic of Chaos Theory as a relationship between mathematics and physics, and through strange attractions and fractals, to the main property of chaos - Emergence Personal dictionary On this page, above, I have placed the main scientific data and theories describing, in my subjective opinion, the foundations of the modern understanding of the world around us and ourselves. Of course, this knowledge is constantly expanding and supplemented, and, like everything around us, is constantly being optimized. But, at the same time, the main vector of knowledge does not change. Below I partially provide my personal "dictionary" for the purpose of a more prompt acquaintance with my personal subjective opinions about common sense. Knowledge is a set of modern axioms and theorems accepted by the majority of world-renowned figures in the fields of scientific research, mainly Nobel Prize winners. Science is a field of research directly or indirectly derived from Fundamental (pure) Mathematics. Emotions are electrochemical reactions of neural connections of all animals with a diencephalon (interbrain with limbic section) and higher. Personality is each animal with a telencephalon (end brain). Truth is in the broadest sense of the term - Knowledge. In a narrow sense - a set of "imprinted" and comprehensively confirmed facts about an event. Justice is an exclusively subjective understanding of certain events for each individual through the prism of their own Knowledge and Prejudices. Honor is the actual possession of Knowledge of how much your personality differs from every other, and vice versa - how much every other personality differs from yours. Dignity is the actual recognition of any other personality on an equal footing with your own. Common sense is the possibility of non-anxious and non-binary reflection of the Personality with an emphasis on Knowledge. Prejudice and belief are everything that does not agree with the concept of Knowledge.

The page about me, opinions and judgments. Personal dictionary About me "-Well, we are adults. We all understand that in reality there is no independent journalism" - this is the thesis I often heard in discussions on this topic from interlocutors. Well, yes... perhaps yes... but with reservations! The question is indeed fair and more than relevant and important. Well, let's try to figure it out together. Let's, like an onion, try to figure out layer by layer what this "INDEPENDENCE" consists of, where it comes from and why it does not exist (or does exist?). Let's start with external factors that can influence the bias of an individual's opinion. The obvious ones will be government institutions (if they exist, of course), and of all stripes, from legislative to judicial. Yes, I am talking about censorship in all its manifestations. Will these institutions support local ancient (no less, how else?) cultures and ethnic groups more, or will they better correspond to the description of a secular state based on international laws and institutions with the prevalence of the rational instead of the emotional? Note that censorship can be not only institutional, state, but also cultural. Some or other cultural features may not consider the "too" free opinions of an individual comfortable for themselves personally. Let's move on... The employer, of course. Where would we be without him. Depending on the position of the owners of commercial and non-commercial structures offering work to a journalist, censorship can vary from the strictest to the "Light" version. Even if this is the most liberal option - go find one - then it will definitely have reservations about the boundaries of "licentiousness" both in the commercial and personal and cultural interests of the owners themselves. But, more interesting and, in my opinion, the most important influence on that very "INDEPENDENCE" is, oddly enough, the author's psyche itself. If with external factors it is still more or less clear, then all the most interesting is hidden here! The very "thoughts" of the individual, as well as culture, consist of a huge mincemeat, which, on average, consists of a large number of unconditional prejudices, and only a small part - of knowledge. Imagine an average European, impartially describing the culture and life of modern cannibal tribes Korowai or Sawuy with very interesting cultural customs. Or a representative of one of the religions, impartially describing the "negative events" of representatives of another religion in relation to his religion. Or a journalist, describing certain events of our time, taking into account the scientific aspects of the behavior of representatives of Homo Sapiens, but still so taboo to this day even in the most liberal societies. For example, such as sexuality, fear, love, sacrifice or courage... Under such conditions, we can indeed conclude that there is no such thing as completely INDEPENDENT journalism. Independent even of the prejudices of the author himself. For now, after all, in most cases, people write in this profession. But, nevertheless, the less engaged in various aspects of life the representatives of creative professions are, the more, perhaps, they could at least claim some semblance of that very INDEPENDENT journalism. There are no ideals in reality... Something positive for something or someone is always negative for something or someone due to the subjective assessment of all living and non-living creatures of our planet, and the absolute individuality of the psyche of each person separately. A journalist is definitely not someone you have to like, love or share his personal opinion with. More often than not, he can be a very "slippery and unpleasant" type. This is someone who always asks uncomfortable questions. He is a real, in the metaphorical sense of the word, "thorn in the ass" for many, for which he is often, purely from subjective views, a target for both emotional and physical violence. No matter how it sounds, a journalist is one of the effective tools of society for "highlighting" in the turmoil of "Groundhog Days" the difficult and very difficult circumstances that individuals or societies face in their lives. This is a kind of special mirror of those very societies, reflecting not always so noticeable, but often very unpleasant questions that arise before society. The product of the journalist's activity is yet another, among others, professional unbiased opinion, distinguished by a critical and analytical way of thinking, the ability to read "between the lines" and draw parallels where they are difficult to read. The function of a journalist, on the one hand, is somewhat similar to a surgeon who must concentrate on his actions during an operation, without being distracted by conjectures, prejudices, beliefs and emotions. However, unlike surgeons, in order to correctly "dissect" the events taking place in societies, the psyche of a journalist must still have a decent amount of empathy, which, in turn, would be catastrophic for a surgeon. The key here is balance. Too much empathy will simply burn you out from the inside, a person will "burn out" and burn out faster than Icarus. On the contrary, too little empathy will lead exclusively to the use of society for personal interests... Always yours Your humble servant Mikhail K . Become a sponsor I do not buy or sell opinions.
